All Chapters of Alpha Daddy, My Se(X)cret Desire: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

The door locked with a soft 'click'. I was still sitting on the sofa, the shame from the incident with Riana fresh in my mind.Gabriel didn't look at me immediately. He walked to his desk and placed his phone down."Gabriel?" I said.He turned. His face was no longer the cold CEO's mask. It was the face of a roused Alpha. Without a word, his hand went to his tie, loosening it with a single fluid motion and tossing it onto a chair. Then, his deft fingers began undoing the buttons of his shirt, one by one, revealing the defined lines of his abdomen and a chest marked with old scars.I gaped, my heart pounding in my throat. "What are you doing?"He didn't answer. He just advanced, his steps silent and menacing like a predator's. The late afternoon light streaming from the window behind him cast a large, dominating silhouette that filled the room."Gabriel, please..." I pleaded, scooting back until my back pressed against the soft cushions of the sofa. "Not... not here."He finally stoppe

The ride back to Gabriel's apartment was thick with silence. It wasn't a comfortable silence, but one vibrating with what had transpired in the office and the weight of the performance we were to put on tomorrow. I sat beside him, my fingers unconsciously stroking the silk scarf around my neck, feeling the smooth texture that hid our secret. Gabriel glanced at me occasionally, his gaze heavy and contemplative, before returning his focus to the headlit road.Once the car stopped in the apartment's basement, he got out swiftly, coming around to open my door. A gesture of courtesy that felt automatic, yet his hand quickly found the small of my back as I stood, a brief touch laden with meaning before we walked to the elevator.The door to his apartment opened with a quiet beep. The moment we were inside and the door locked, a nearly inaudible sigh of relief escaped Gabriel's lips. He tossed his keys into a silver tray near the door, the sound echoing in the quiet space."Finally," he murm

The next morning, the atmosphere in the apartment felt different. Maybe because last night I fell asleep in Gabriel’s arms. Maybe because I woke up with a kind of calm I was not used to, or maybe because I knew today I had to return to playing my role as the “ordinary” student Sera, not someone trapped between two different lives.Gabriel was no longer in the living room when I finished getting ready. But the smell of coffee was still there, a sign he had just left. On the dining table, there was a small note.Your breakfast is in the microwave. Do not even think about leaving without eating. – G.I scoffed while smiling. Even in chaos, he still thinks like a guardian.After a quick meal, I headed to campus. A voice called out to me the moment I stepped onto the courtyard.“Sera! Hey!”David.I froze for a split second before forcing my lips into a smile. “Morning, David.”He jogged toward me, his face bright as usual. But something was different. His eyes studied my face as if search

I did not know how I was still able to walk toward the elevator. My legs felt as if they were not touching the floor, my chest tight. My mind was filled with the image of David leaving with a pale face, and Gabriel’s sharp gaze like a blade.The elevator chimed and the doors opened. We stepped inside.Once the doors closed, the air between us thickened. There was no sound except the soft hum of the elevator’s engine. Gabriel stood beside me, his large frame and his scent filling the small space, a masculine scent I usually felt as protection but this time felt like pressure.The elevator rose, the digital numbers climbing. I could not hold it in anymore.“You didn’t have to chase him away like that,” I said suddenly, without looking at him.Gabriel did not answer right away.The elevator kept rising. Only after a few seconds that felt like a century, he spoke in a flat voice:“Are you more upset because I sent him away, or because he was afraid of me?”I turned sharply. “What do you m

The next day.I took a taxi to his office. The building where Gabriel worked stood tall, its glass panels gleaming under the sunlight, reflecting the city’s blue sky. The receptionist recognized me and immediately allowed me to go up without asking any questions. Their eyes were always the same, full of curiosity, but no one dared to say anything. I stepped onto Gabriel’s office floor.A little quiet. A little too luxurious and always cold.His office was at the end of the hallway. The glass door was closed, but I could see the shadow of his body moving, clearly busy in a meeting through a video call. I did not want to disturb him, so I sat on the black leather sofa near the window.I waited and waited.The clock hands moved. Fifteen minutes, twenty. He was still speaking in a low, firm tone, foreign languages flowing smoothly from his lips. I looked down at my book, opened a chapter, and tried to study the material I was supposed to review, but my mind could not focus.Someone knocke
