Awakening the War God novel Chapter 109

Chapter 109 You and Me

Stella Turner quickly turned her head away, hiding her sudden panic. Blinking rapidly,she finally spoke, "Yes, I saw my younger sister! How did you know?"

Although she didn't know how Gabriel Edwards knew this thing, she had no intention of hiding it. After all, she had come today with a do-or-die attitude.

"I know. You're dressed so seductively because you're here to fulfill our agreement," Gabriel laughed, somewhat pleased.

His laughter wiped away any trace of shyness Stella might have felt.

She found it strange how one person could switch between two different personalities so easily.

She didn't understand Gabriel at all and couldn't fathom what he was thinking.

Feeling a bit disappointed, Stella candidly admitted, "Yes, I came today to fulfill our agreement. You've done everything I asked for. I'm yours tonight, and do as you please."

That day, Gabriel had helped Thomas Taylor defeat Clarence Norton, resolving the crisis at Thomas's club. The Foster family received 250 million dollars in financial support from Gabriel Edwards, resolving their financial crisis. Samuel Davis was crippled, and for the time being, no one was targeting her restaurant. After that, she visited her father in prison and saw her younger sister, whom she hadn't seen in two years.

All the requests she had made to Gabriel had been fulfilled. As a woman of her word, she didn't see any reason to refuse. Besides, at her age, being a virgin was nothing to be proud of. Since so many people were eager for her body, giving it up also could be seen as a form of liberation. Especially after seeing Gabriel drunk last night, she inexplicably felt her heart race. That feeling seemed to tell her that it was worth it. Most importantly, she felt she owed Gabriel.

Anyway, Gabriel was helping her, yet she had been working against him for Joseph Moore to save her younger brother. Her body could serve as some form of compensation. So she came willingly this time, without any reservations.

That's why she had specifically bought this sexy outfit before coming. And underneath the clothes, there was something even more sexy.All of this was the only way she could repay Gabriel Edwards.

After that, Gabriel didn't say much more. He didn't even inquire further about Stella's sister. Nor did he ask how Erica Turner had appeared. He just stood quietly by the window, watching the cars and people passing by. In such a manner, several hours passed.

Yet, these quiet hours were the most comfortable moments Stella and Gabriel had shared since they met. She felt no pressure and spent those hours lost in thought. She remembered her childhood, when her father would play the piano and she would dance barefoot in the living room. She thought of every New Year when the entire Turner family would gather around a huge round table for a feast.

But as she reminisced, she also remembered the day when the Turner family was destroyed. All the beautiful memories, like a castle built of sand, collapsed in an instant. The light in her eyes dimmed. What followed was emptiness. And a deep-seated sorrow she had grown accustomed to. What was the purpose of life? She no longer knew the answer.

"The world is full of light, facing the wind, chasing the light! That flower will always dance, chasing its dreams." At that moment, a humming sound reached Stella's ears. It was a song, "Chasing the Light," which had been her emotional support for years. She turned her head sharply and saw that it was Gabriel humming "Chasing the Light." Gabriel's gaze was distant, and his voice was soft. Although slightly off-key, every note touched the softest part of her heart.

In that moment, all her emotional defenses were shattered. Tears rolled down like pearls. A wave of unrestrained emotion drove her to do the craziest thing she had ever done in her life. She reached out with both arms and tightly embraced Gabriel.
