As the warm water cascaded over me, washing away the fatigue of the day, I felt rejuvenated. Stepping out of the shower, I was greeted by the sight of my meticulously organized room, a testament to my penchant for order.

With purposeful steps, I ventured into my walk-in closet, where an array of garments awaited my selection. After careful consideration, I settled on a classic combination: a crisp white shirt paired with sleek black pants. Completing the ensemble with a pair of elegant black heels and a pristine Louis Vuitton handbag, I felt a sense of confidence wash over me.

Gathering my chestnut locks into a high ponytail, I took one final look in the mirror, ensuring every detail was just right. Satisfied with my appearance, I left my sanctuary, ready to conquer whatever the day had in store.

Descending the staircase, I scanned the spacious foyer, but there was no sign of Gabriel. Perhaps he had retreated to his own domain to prepare for the day ahead.

As hunger pangs gnawed at my stomach, a reminder of the days spent in silent protest, I knew it was time to nourish my body once again. Making my way to the kitchen, I resolved to replenish my energy reserves with a hearty meal.

As I prepared a simple yet satisfying dish, the dull ache in my head intensified, a lingering reminder of the ordeal I had endured. Retrieving the bottle of medicine from the cabinet, I swallowed the prescribed dose, hoping to alleviate the persistent throbbing.
My wounds have almost healed but sometimes I feel this pounding headache that's why I need to take my medicine

As I settled into the comforting embrace of the living room, the anticipation of Gabriel's arrival filled the air. It wasn't long before the silence was broken by the rhythmic descent of footsteps, signaling his approach.

My gaze lifted, and there he stood, resplendent in a tailored black three-piece suit, exuding an aura of sophistication and confidence

Every line of the fabric hugged his form with a regal elegance, accentuating his commanding presence and innate confidence.

He looked like a king, a born leader, with an air of authority that seemed to emanate from every pore of his being. I couldn't help but feel a surge of pride swell within me as I took in the sight of him. This wasn't just my brother; he was a force to be reckoned with, a man destined for greatness.

The way he carried himself, with a poise and grace that spoke volumes of his strength and charisma, left me in awe. It was as if he had been born to lead, to command the respect and admiration of those around him. And in that moment, I couldn't help but feel grateful that Gabriel came back. He is born a leader and I can lead the cartel like he can. So I am glad that he came back

"Shall we?" With a gentle nod, I accepted his outstretched hand.

Standing before the majestic facade of the high-end building, I couldn't help but marvel at its architectural grandeur. The bustling streets surrounding it teemed with life, a symphony of activity as people hurried about their daily routines, each lost in their own world.
