Chapter 386 - Exhausted Gabriel

Next morning…

None of the people had good sleep on both sides. 

Brina and Louis spent more night talking of possibilities of what might happen while Diego and Eliina had talked plenty about Sabrina. 

However, Eliina didn't reveal her relationship with Sabrina. She mostly listened to what all her boyfriend said. He got pretty emotional when he found out that his favourite cousin, uncle and aunt are alive!!! 

He wanted nothing more than that. 

As of Camilla and Nickolas, Camilla spent all her night at her mother's memorial, swearing inside that she will take revenge soon.

She escaped from Nickolas as she doesn't want to feel sad and depressed. He proposed her but that's just a part of the plan.. 

How good it would have been if it's real...

But she is equally aware that he harbour no feelings for her. His heart is still stuck with Sabrina, who have already got married and is pregnant. 

Meanwhile, on other hand, Nickolas was immersed in work and so are James, Remus, Harry, Ethan and others. 

Louis has to be working but he prefered to take care of his wife first. So, he ended up cuddling and talking to her...

….

"Let's talk about our plan. Call all our trusted allies now" Gabriel said as he walked out of his study room, sleep deprived and exhausted. 

"Sure, uncle. I will" Nickolas said, quickly getting into the work. 

James, Layla, some other people working for Nickolas shortly arrived.

Even Griffin arrived. He left his wife in care of her maiden family so that she would not be under any risks...

The history is indeed repeating…

That time, Sabrina, although she is smart and observant, almost lost her life because she was kept in the dark and was also betrayed by her loved ones. 

Now, it's Gabriel. 

Although he is cunning, smart and observant just like Brina, his own children are betraying him. He is being kept in the dark about many things. 

Given his heart attack and weakening body, he is dependent on Nickolas and his children whom he trusts so much. 

But, that's Karma…

It is just being returned to him. 

…..

"Did you get the location from where she made her live telecast?" Gabriel asked his right handed man who was allocated to do it.

"It's been difficult sir. We used all our sources and-" he was about to continue when Gabriel cut him off, impatient to listen to the history. 

"Cut it short," Gabriel ordered. 

"Country M, XXX town, a mansion near the forest" he answered. 

Gabriel nodded his head. 

If Sabrina escaped alive, she would have hidden herself well, out of his radar. And, this place he mentioned, it perfectly fit her requirements and taste. 

"And, Nick, I asked you to investigate how Sabrina, her parents and Will escaped alive. Any progress on that?" he asked. 

However the irony is Nickolas is the person who saved her parents. 

"Still under the progress. However, it looks like there was an undergraduate tunnel which we weren't aware of. That's just my guess but" Nickolas answered. 

What he told now is absolutely right and it is how Brina escaped with Will. And, she was the one who asked Nickolas to tell.about it if he asks about the details. 

"That tunnel would have been destroyed after the fire accident. That's why we couldn't differentiate" he guessed. 

"Moreover, we were in a hurry to close the case because we found their bodies. Who would have thought that they tricked us and there was an underground tunnel" Nickolas added. 

"No one is blaming you, Nick. I have  known that laboratory like the back of my hand. Who would have thought that my niece Sabrina and my beloved brother would hide the existence of an underground tunnel from me, when I was their most loyal person?" King Gabriel laughed. 

He thought his brother and niece didn't hide any secret from him because they never doubted his loyalty. 

But it was her brother Seth who had that tunnel hidden. He wanted it to be a secret emergency. 

So, when fire broke out, it was when he told Brina about its existence and asked her to leave through it. 

But, it's condition was so worse due to the fire that it would only withstand one person to crouch through it. It was basically no larger than a manhole for two people to crawl through it. 

So, Seth and Lilian had to sacrifice their lives to give that one man access to Sabrina and William. 

William was just five years old and they somehow managed to crawl through it. 

In the meanwhile, Harry was notified of what happened and he was asked to wait at the other end.

And, as soon as, Sabrina and Will came out of that tunnel, they collapsed. 

As it was a laboratory, the fire has made the air extremely poisonous. 

Brina who was trained to stay immune for a while could hold it. But, Will was a small boy. 

That poisonous gases dananged his heart. 

He went into a coma even before they could make their way out. Brina had some bruises and burns. She was in a coma for a few days but due to her relentless training she was almost immune to those gases that didn't affect her much. 

...

Back to present…

"Leave about it. Did you confirm their whereabouts these few years?" Gabriel asked his son, Griffin. 

Here, the other irony is, he was the one who has been blocking everyone from knowing about his uncle and aunt's existence. 

"Sabrina was there in a coma for a few days. Her father for over an year. William for two and half years. Her mother is still in a coma" Griffin truthfully answered. 

"She has been taking care of those three, staying low profile. I confirmed it" he added. 

Layla and Louis even helped in creating a perfect alibi to cover that up. 

But, Gabriel here trusts his children so much that he didn't ask any further questions. 

After that, Gabriel asked a few more questions and when he was convinced by the answers, it was only when they started talking about the plans.  

They sat in the study room for the whole day, strategizing, planning…

But little Gabriel knows that he is no longer a game master but a king who is nearing checkmate.
