Gabriel's Bookstore Duluth Novels & Stories

Chapter 78 Once everything seemed settled regarding the baby’s room and the engagement, Gabriel decided to use the next day to take care of pending matters. He asked Jussara to go with him downtown to buy a computer and some accessories needed to organize his work. When they arrived downtown, he parked the car in a lot near the store. Before going inside, they stood for a moment observing the storefront from outside. Across the street, a small group of friends walking along the sidewalk began commenting when they saw them.

There's no way all this is for me. He done this for me? Why would he do this for me? "I was hoping if you have your own space, you'll be able to adjust easier and faster." Gabriel says, reminding me he is still there. "Iyla helped me pick out the books. I wasn't sure what you read." He says as I step to the bookcase. It holds some of my favorite books, but mostly, it holds books I've never seen before. They look newer. More sleek than the ones I've grown up with. "Princess?" He's waiting for me to say something, I realize.

Now, cracks appeared, and through them, Lucy glimpsed the raw man who existed beneath the mask. She found herself standing at the grand window of the east wing library, arms wrapped tightly around her shawl. The library smelled of old parchment, ink, and cedar polish. Its shelves stretched impossibly high, ladders reaching toward vaulted ceilings painted with faded constellations. Gabriel had told her once that his mother loved this room that she had hidden here as a girl, her escape from the weight of a family built on duty and debts. That memory had surprised Lucy then, not because of the detail, but because Gabriel had shared it at all. She turned as the door creaked open. Gabriel entered

Gabriel laugh near her ears and held her in place. “What are you doing? And when did you come?” Elsa asked, placing her hand on her chest to calm down. “When you inundated yourself into that picture? But why didn't you read it and enjoy it?” Gabriel mumbled over her lips. Elsa slowly sat down while Gabriel grabbed another chair and sat near her. “There is nothing to read of. Only a bunch of foul things,” Elsa said and shut down the book with a loud crash, but Gabriel didn't let her walk away like this as he put his hand on that same page before opening it again.

Just a brass number on a black lacquered door. The driver opens my door. "Mr. Hunt is inside." I step onto the sidewalk. Even the air here is different. Cleaner. Like the pollution knows it doesn't belong in this tax bracket. The boutique is all polished wood, soft lighting that erases shadows, and the kind of heavy silence that costs money. Gabriel stands near the back, phone pressed to his ear. He's in charcoal gray today—a suit so perfect it looks illegal, cut to emphasize the width of his shoulders.

She went back into the room squeezing Gabriel's hand as she took her place in the circle. Gabriel had invited Audrey to have some coffee with him after their next AA meeting which she obliged. Audrey felt pleasantly surprised, most of her friends were always busy with their jobs or families to hangout. She looked down at her magazine, and sighed rubbing her temples. Her husband wasn't a huge fan of her current male friends so telling him about Gabriel might not go down well. She bit her lip. She looked through the local newspaper, she read through section meticulously until she found a signup sheet for the book club.

CHAPTER 96 DANIEL “I can’t wait to see the look on his face” Neo said, and we burst out laughing. I was filling Neo and Jacob in on my plans for when we got to the city. I have been silently planning Gabriel’s downfall for years, and now it was finally falling in place. After Bella told me about Safe Haven, I put in an offer and purchased the place. The place was very close to her heart, and I didn’t want it to go down when he did. I have my people on that end overseeing it and making sure that everything and everyone there is well taken care of. We were going to leave closer to the time of the anniversary celebrations, but when I received the invitation to the conference, I decided to get m

Gabriel took a quick shower and got dressed in a black suit. Once he was done, he headed downstairs and settled in the living room to wait for Nicole. As the minutes stretched on, he checked the time and decided to make a call. He dialed Daniel, a very famous chef in New York—and also a friend of his. Gabriel’s construction company had built Daniel’s restaurant, and ever since then, Daniel had insisted Gabriel was a special guest who could walk in anytime without notice. Still, Gabriel didn’t like abusing that privilege. Instead, he explained that he urgently needed a reservation for a table for two.

"Fine." "Yes!" "So you're into books, huh?" Gabriel exits the car, opening Lucas' door as I get down as well. "Yes," he admits, leaving his bag for Gabriel to carry. Gabriel shrugs and locks the car. "I started the Harry Potter series last week and…" Their voices fade into the background as Lucas leads Gabriel inside. I stand in a particular spot and stare at their backs for a while, trying to process the fact that Gabriel Hernsburg, my boss, was going to be in my house before shaking my head and following them. It's a blessing and a curse having a smart kid, I swear.

Gab that Gerthel outrightly saw. “Mr. Gab, an apology if I disturbed you, I just need to ask you something,” she said politely. When Gerthel looked inside the Beta’s office from the open door, she was quite surprised to see Ms. Dahlia inside, sitting on the executive chair which she surmised to be the chair of Mr. Gab.
