His Unselfish Shelter Chapter 1 New Found Friend

GABRIEL's P.O.V.

A twelve years old boy, coming from a middle class family in the largest state in Singapore. That's me. My life wasn't that hard, but it wasn't that easy as well. Living with my Mom in this country while my Dad work as an investor in the Philippines, my heart was dying to have it's permanent shelter.

Because Mom is an overprotective one, I carry on studying at home not until now. Dad is finally taking on my side, letting me go to a regular school. It wasn't that easy at first, but I'll get the hang of it pretty much sooner or later, they said. But having my entire educational life being locked up at home, I don't know if I could ever talk to someone at school.

"Are you ready for your first day in regular school, Gab?" My Mom asked, while starting the engine of her car to take me to school.

"I guess so..."

"You guess so? I thought you wanted this? Aren't you excited at all? If you want to change your mind, you're free to, honey."

"Mom, I can do this... I promised. I'm just... You know, having a life inside of our house while not knowing any other person makes me feel nervous. But I'm fine. You don't need to worry about me. If something happens, and I didn't like it, I promise I'll tell you. Then I'll come back to study at home."

"Sure thing, son. I just don't want you to be unprotected."

"I'm nearly a teenager, Mom. I can do this, I promise."

She sighed in defeat, before nodding at my direction. She started the engine and we drive all the way from home to my new and first ever school. As we arrived, I could see my fellow students talking to each other in front of the school yard. I can't believe that this is finally happening right now. I finally got a chance to introduce myself to other people.

"Well, someone looks excited. Hop down now, Gab. Good luck for your first day of school," Mom stated.

"Thanks, Mom. Thank you for letting me go and experience this. I love you."

"Sure thing. And I love you too. Please take care of yourself."

I nodded, before giving her a peck of kiss on her cheeks. I hopped down from the car, before waving my goodbyes to my Mom. She smiled at me and I did the same.

I thought that this would be easy, but as soon as my Mom drove away, I instantly feel nervous. I could see the other students staring at me intensely while whispering something to the person next to them.

"Hey! Are you new here?"

I nearly jumped up out of shock as a girl poked her finger on the right side of my belly.

"Hey!" I scolded her.

"Nasty. I like you," she stated.

"Whatever."

"You didn't answer my question!" she complained, and I sighed.

"Yes, I'm new here. What about you?" I tried to socialize, but just imagining myself talking to other people makes me really sick.

"Nope. I study here since preschool."

"Oh," was my short reply.

"And you? Where are you came from?" she asked curiously.

It was only then when I realized how cute she is. She's a red headed person with deep hazel eyes. She has freckles on the both side of her cheeks and a medium tanned colored skin. I don't know why, but I instantly got mesmerized and comfortable with this lady.

"From home, I guess." She chuckled at my response.

"I asked where school have you been before, silly."

"I don't know. I do home study before so... Yeah. I don't came from any school."

"Oh. I'm sorry. I didn't know."

"Why are you apologizing?"

"Uhm... It's because... I'll tell you a secret if you promised that you wouldn't say this to anyone, okay?" I nodded, badly wanted to know about it. "Pinky swear?" she raised her hand with her pinky sticking out of it.

"Okay, okay. Whatever." I got it and she beamed at me.

"My Mom and Aunt told me that children who home schooled are the ones who cannot take care of themselves that's why they choose to stay at home."

"What?! That wasn't true."

My brows furrowed in confusion as she told me that secret. I instantly want to meet her Mom and Aunt and tell them that they are both wrong about their impression of those children who are homeschooling.

"I know, I know. That's what I've told to them before. I'm glad I didn't believe it. Now look at you. You're the evidence I've been waiting to come."

She was about to say something more when the bell rings causing all the students hanging outside to go to their respective classrooms. I was surprised when she took my hand and gently shook it.

"I'm Erevell, by the way."

"G-Gabriel. But you can call me Gab."

"Sure, Gab."

I thought that she will finally let go of my hand but she didn't. She keep our hands together before intertwining our fingers and pulling me inside of the building.

"Come on, Gab! I'll show you around!" she gladly stated.

"Okay, okay." I smiled to myself.

While walking through the hallways, I could see the awful stares of those people to Erevell. But she didn't mind them, so I just did the same thing.

"First, we need to get our classes' schedules so that we will know what places and subjects to go."

"Sure."

She continued to pull me around before we finally arrived at our destination. I was merely disappointed when she let go of my hand and I couldn't understand why.

She talked to the person on one of those tables before they gave her a piece of paper. Two, actually.

"This one is for you." She offered it to me. "There you go."

"Thanks. Class schedules..." I read.

"Oh look! We have the same classes together! Except for the first and second period..." She looked disappointed as well.

"That's fine. We're still going to see each other again, right?" I asked her.

"Sure! Anyways, I need to go to my classes now. You should probably go too."

"Oh. Yeah. So... See you later?" I asked.

"See you!" She waved at me and I did the same.

As she vanished into my sight, nervousness attacked my whole system again. I slowly walk towards the entrance of my classroom, where my new classmates are all looking at me like I have some kind of a disease.

"He's the one..." I heard them whispered.

I just sighed to myself, before making my way to the farthest seat in front. After I sat, I looked up, only bombarded by a piece of crumpled paper on my face.

"Hey, you!" One of our guy classmate shouted. "Please don't spread the Erevell disease in here!"

"That's right!" Some of them shouted.

I just looked down, feeling sorry for myself. But aside from pity, I felt curious and I badly wanted to know what are they talking about Erevell. I guess that thing will remained a secret and a mystery until now for our teacher finally got inside of our room greeting us with a wide smile plastered upon her face.

"Good morning, everyone!" she greeted.

All of my classmates stood up and greeted her back. I'm the only one who didn't. She looked at me in confusion, and I stood up to greet her alone.

"Good morning, Ma'am. I'm sorry."

She nodded, before pulling out her attendance book.

"Oh. So you're the new student. Mr. Gabriel Elizar, huh?"

"Yes, Ma'am."

"From home school?"

"Y-yeah."

"Well I guess that explains why."

I don't know why she said that, but I'm pretty sure that she did that on purpose. Maybe Erevell's right. I need her and I do have so many things to know and learn in this new world of mine.

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."

I thought I was waking up in the arms of Arthur, the man I loved. But as the morning light hit the Hamptons estate, the man buttoning his cuffs by the window turned around with eyes like chips of ice. It was Augustus Riddle, Arthur’s cruel younger brother, and I had just spent the night whispering confessions of love into the wrong man's ear. The night I thought was a beautiful beginning turned into a devastating nightmare. Instead of comfort, Gus treated me like a stain on his expensive carpet, scribbling a check for "services rendered" before shoving me into a dark service corridor to hide my existence from his brother. "How much does it cost to buy your silence?" He sneered, before leaving me barefoot in a torrential downpour while he drove away in a luxury Cadillac. Four years later, I am a struggling actress in Los Angeles, working double shifts as a barista just to keep the lights on. My life was finally stable until my roommate dragged me to a high-end dinner to meet her new "influential" boyfriend. The man sitting at the table, looking more arrogant and lethal than ever, was Augustus. He spent the entire night humiliating me, calling me a pathetic amateur and a social climber in front of my only friends. When I fled into the rain and collapsed on the sidewalk, skinning my knee until I bled, he watched from his car. He saw me clutching a plastic baggie containing the taped-together pieces of that four-year-old check—the only proof of my shame. He looked at me like roadkill, rolled up his window, and drove off into the dark. I couldn't understand why he was doing this. Why did he hate me enough to crush me, yet remember that I couldn't handle the smell of cigarette smoke? Why did he leave me bleeding in the street, only to send expensive medical supplies and coffee to my door the very next morning? "I'm moving out." I told my roommates, realizing that Gus Riddle didn't just want to destroy me; he wanted to haunt me. I grabbed my suitcase and walked out with eighty dollars to my name, finally ready to disappear into the city before he could burn the rest of my life to the ground.

5.0

For two years, I was the invisible force behind tech billionaire Kieran Douglas, convinced that our "private" romance was his way of protecting us from the tabloid spotlight. I managed his mergers, warmed his bed, and waited for a future that didn't exist. The illusion shattered at 6:00 AM when a Page Six alert debuted Kieran’s "real" romance with socialite Aspen Schneider. Before I could even process the betrayal, Kieran sent me a cold, professional text: "Order flowers for Aspen. Pink peonies. Her favorite." When I tried to walk away, my own mother called me a disgrace and threatened to lock my inheritance forever unless I married a sixty-year-old businessman to save her failing estate. At a high-society gala that same night, Aspen intentionally crushed my burned hand in front of the cameras, while Kieran stood by and dismissed me as a "mediocre assistant" who had overstayed her welcome. I stood in the cold New York rain, drenched in champagne and humiliation, realizing that every sacrifice I made for Kieran was a joke. I was a ghost in a penthouse that was never mine, discarded the moment his "soulmate" returned. To the world, I was just a placeholder whose time had run out. But Kieran forgot one thing: my father’s multi-million dollar trust fund unlocks the moment I legally marry. I didn't need love; I needed a signature and a shield. I walked into a discreet law firm and signed a marriage contract with a man I believed was the city’s most notorious, scandal-ridden playboy. I thought I was marrying a degenerate "beard" to buy my freedom and secure my revenge. I didn't realize the man who signed that paper wasn't a playboy at all, but Gaston Collins—the most powerful and dangerous man on Wall Street—and he had no intention of letting our fake marriage stay fake.
