9 Do You Know the Rules? The ceiling light shrouded them and cast Gabriel's face into shadow. He asked curiously, “What is your name?”

Serenity’s face was slightly pale as she replied to him one word at a time, “Serenity Rivers.”

“Have you thought about it clearly? You can still back out right now.” Gabriel was giving her one last chance.

She was a little uncomfortable. Serenity’s body gently moved, but Gabriel furrowed his brows slightly and growled, “Don’t move!” Serenity was frightened by him and dared not move. She stared blankly at him, her body tensed up.

She was overly nervous as she took a deep breath. Her slightly rushed breathing attracted a burst of quivers, and she could not speak properly. “When | came here, | had already thought about it very carefully. If not, | would not have come and looked for

you. She'd thought about it for a few days before making this decision.

When she came here, she had the thought of backing down for a moment, but...

When she thought about how she’d already come this far, she curled her lips and mocked herself, her eyes filled with sorrow.

Gabriel noticed her despondent spirit and saw the vague sorrow on her face. His heart fluttered slightly. “How much do you need?”

Serenity’s gaze stared blankly at him. “What?” Gabriel furrowed his brows with a cold expression. “How much money do you want?”

She froze momentarily as she looked at the man on top of her. His chin had a perfect, sharp edge, and she was in a daze fora moment before she came back to her senses. She gave a slight smile and said in a gentle voice, “You can decide.”

Gabriel furrowed his brows.

She smiled and said in a deep voice, “President Jones would not be petty, so | am not afraid that you will give me less.” She once thought that after her 20th birthday, she would give her most treasured thing to John, the man she loved the most. Gabriel glanced at her before he leaned down and kissed her.

Initially, she was in so much pain that she was going to faint. Her hands gripped the bedsheets tightly, and her knuckles turned white. The two fingernails of her right hand broke due to her grip, which tore her skin and flesh apart as well. It was painful.

In the end, she started to plead for mercy. Maybe her plea had worked and Gabriel let her off as he stood up and walked to the bathroom.

She pulled the blanket beside her over her body and stared blankly at the ceiling. The chandelier was as bright as daylight and made her face look as white as a sheet of paper.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

The “swooshing” sounds of water from the bathroom were especially clear in the silent room.

After a while, Gabriel came out of the bathroom and entered the dressing room. When he came out, he was already dressed neatly.

He wore a royal blue dress shirt with custom-fitted dress pants, which wrapped around his slender and long legs. His handsome features looked as though it was drawn on his face while his black eyes looked especially deep under the light.

Serenity had already calmed herself down. Other than her slightly reddish eyes, no one could see anything peculiar.

Gabriel took out a pen and a paper before writing her a check. He put it on the nightstand with no emotions in his black eyes. “Before you leave, leave your contact details behind. | will call you if | need you.”

He took the custom-made watch on the table and put it on. Then, he walked towards the entrance but stopped after walking two steps. He did not turn back and said with a dull tone:

“Before you came, you should have heard of my rules. Do you know what to do?” She replied to him in a gentle voice, “I know.”

Gabriel kept his women for only three months. During this period, they had to be at his beck and call and they were not allowed to find him in his company or make a ruckus there. After their breakup in three months, they were not allowed to pester him.
