Gabriel's Promise Mga Nobela at Kwento

he barked, and I was left confused as to why it seemed to be that much of a problem to him. "I shouldn't be scared of being alone, right? You'll always be around to protect me," I responded. "What if I'm not there?" "I know you'll always be there." "Do not take that for granted." A smug smile curled on my face. "I know you can't ignore me in times of danger. Your grandfather made sure of that, Lucia..." He held my wrist tightly, cutting me off. "Don't you dare. Don't you dare complete it. My name is Gabriel."

He listened for several seconds. Then whispered only one sentence. "No..." The call ended. "What happened?" Gabriel looked at me. His voice broke. "They found Isabella." My stomach dropped. "Is she..." He nodded slowly. "Marcus got to her first." Silence crushed the air around us. Gabriel clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white. "He left a message." "What message?" Gabriel looked directly into my eyes. "He said..." A tear rolled down his cheek. "...you're next."

Gabriel wanted to wait for the wedding to happen and by god’s grace it will happen and everything he had built using his vile ways will crumble down in front of his very eyes. ***

I picked up the report and stared at the words. 'No gestational sac detected.' "Gabriel…" My nose stung as I felt a sense of warmth surge up my heart. "Why would you go this far for me?" Gabriel stepped in front of me, looking down at me calmly. Then, he abruptly reached out and gently pinched my earlobe. "Because you said you'd bring 100 billion and devote your life to me." His lips curved slightly. "I'm a businessman. I honor all the contracts I sign. Now, it's your turn."

But I didn’t care. Gabriel was far away from me, and the connection I’d promised him we’d keep over mindlink was gone. He could still be sick – he could be crying himself to sleep at night – he might believe that I’d abandoned him, that I didn’t love him more than anything in the world. All I knew, all I could hold onto, was that Gabriel was alive. It was the only promise left that I hadn’t broken. I knew he was alive, because I could still feel my own heart beating.

I had seen it many times, yet it never ceased to amaze me. Suddenly, an image flashed before me, and I halted. “Reveal yourself!” I growled with malice. “I am not hiding from you, Princess,” he appeared before me. His dark aura filled the air. Gabriel. He opened his arms wide. “Finally. He has planted his seed inside you. That’s what I had been waiting for. That’s why I hadn’t taken you before. You would have been useless to me without a child growing inside you.”

"So... after all these grueling years of self-imposed exile, you have finally chosen to return to the cradle of our sins, Gabriel." Gabriel didn't shift his gaze away from the dark pines rushing past his window, his gloved fingers tightening around the silver head of his ebony cane. "I gave a sacred, ironclad promise to Victor on his deathbed that I would never set my boots on this soil again, Rosa." "And yet, here you sit." "My promise to a dead king effectively ended the exact microsecond an unknown adversary threatened the structural survival of Lorenzo's wife," Gabriel stated flatly, his blue eyes flashing like cold ice in the dim cabin light.

His hand continued to stroke his wife's soft hand while kissing the back of her hand sweetly. “Charlotte, you should quickly come back to your senses and talk to me again. We had promised beforehand that we would continue our delayed romance before going to fight. But, I believe that you cannot break your promise easily. Because you are a woman holding on to your promise, you must be fighting for your life for the man you love, which is me," Gabriel said indirectly, sending messages to his wife, even though he was still unconscious. Then, he landed a sweet kiss on Charlotte's forehead briefly. "I love you, dear."

“And now remember this: we’re going to open our company, we’re going to buy that mansion you designed… there’ll be a bathtub, a jacuzzi, a damn garden just for you to drink wine at night, the way you dream of. And we’ll make love all over that house until we grow old in it. You are the last woman I will ever love, Ava. Because we are a meeting of souls. And I’ll love you until my last day.” Tears slipped silently from her eyes, mixing with the shower water. Ava looked at him, completely vulnerable. “Gabriel… promise me something? If one day… if you ever become interested in another woman… if you ever want to leave with her… promise you won’t blindside me?” His expression hardened instantly.

Then he added, “I want you to promise me something.” “Anything!” “Promise me you won’t do reckless things. I know you care for Jane, but you must remember your condition too. Never put yourself in danger just because you want to save Jane badly, okay?” “Okay.” She nodded. Gabriel scooted so his position was closer to Rosalind. Then he took her hand and held it. “Baby, we’ll protect Jane. It’s my promise. So you can ease your mind and let me handle everything. You trust me, don’t you?”
