Billionaire Defiant Wife Chapter 858
Advertisement
In a hurry, Gabrielle did not see him clearly, and the figure disappeared in the corner.
Soon, Gabrielle was taken to a prison, which was damp and dark. There was the smell of rancidity and decay.
It was disgusting, and Gabrielle held her breath.
But the smell existed in her long walk. Gabrielle was led into the innermost prison by the bodyguard.
The lights were dim, and the sun was out of sight all year-round. There were prisoners in the prison next door.
Seeing Gabrielle come in, they all looked at her with curiosity, and someone whispered, "Another one to die here."
"I heard she is the king. She was arrested for betraying her nation."
"Traitor! You deserve it!"
Gabrielle slightly staggered. The bodyguards were very alert, and she had no chance to escape.
So she was forced to be taken to the prison.
This was completely closed, and the space of activity could only be confined to a narrow cage.
She didn't know what's going on out there. She was out of touch with the world.
Even the name, Jackson, also disappeared gradually in her life.
It was a month later when she heard the news from outside.
That day, she awoke from the cold plank bed. Not far away came the sound of the iron door being pushed open, followed by a sound of footsteps.
She got up from the bed, and these men had come to her.
Through the cage made of steel, she found an evil-looking man standing outside. She was unable to see his expression, only to feel that the man was staring at her.
As the rusty iron door was opened, the man stepped in.
"It's you?" Being in prison for more than a month, this was the first Gabrielle spoke. Every day, she was like a walking dead.

She was a little surprised when she saw the visitor, but she soon turned calm, "You will take me out?"
She didn't figure out why Mr. Black came here.
"Yes." Mr. Black nodded and said, "The nation needs you."
Gabrielle slightly trembled, and the resistance in her eyes was particularly obvious, "It has nothing to do with me."
Mr. Black, as he had expected, said with a grim face, "The nation needs a king."
"What do you mean?" Gabrielle took steps back, and she was afraid of conspiracy.
"The Lord had an accident." Mr. Black said.
"What happened?" Gabrielle suddenly raised her head.
"In order to save you, Jackson had a fight with him. Both their planes fell into the sea during the fight."
"What did you say?" Gabrielle was shocked, and she didn't believe it, "You said Jackson..."
Did his plane fall into the sea in order to save her?
How did that happen?
No! It's impossible!
Gabrielle grabbed Mr. Black's arm, "Did you say something wrong?"
"During the confrontation, Jackson had an accident, and Eric's helicopter was hit."
Gabrielle pushed Mr. Black away and ran out.
"Where are you going?" Mr. Black strode out, and the woman in front stumbled out like a headless fly.
"Where is he? I'm going to find him."
Mr. Black grabbed her and said, "You wake up. Jackson has fallen into the sea. We have been searching for him for three days."
"You lied to me! I won't believe what you said without seeing it." Closed in the dungeon for more than a month, Gabrielle was thin. She turned desperate when she heard the news.
Jackson and Gabrielle had hurriedly separated, and she still had a lot of things not to tell him. She was kept there for more than a month, and she thought he should not come to save her.

She couldn't believe what she heard from him.
She wouldn't listen.
Gabrielle quickly walked out. It was raining outside.
She rushed into the rain, trying to find Jackson, but she had no idea where he was.
Mr. Black took a big black umbrella from a bodyguard's hand, walked to Gabrielle, and held the umbrella for her.
"Where is Jackson? Tell me where he is."
"Ancient Sea. You cannot go now. It's stormy there." Mr. Black said, looking to the door.
Gabrielle looked to the door. A familiar figure came in. It's Hill.
Gabrielle rushed over without thinking, grabbed Hill's sleeve, and shook it hard, "Where is your boss?"
Hill's eyes were full of tears.
"Gabrielle, he..."
Gabrielle bit her lips hard, but she didn't feel any pain. Even though Hill didn't finish his words, she couldn't hear him any longer.
Suddenly she laughed, "Hill, when did you learn to deceive others?"
Hill said, "Mr. Oliver's helicopter fell into the sea. We searched for him for many days."
Hill sighed and shook his head.
He could not accept the fact that Mr. Oliver fell into the sea as he stayed with him for many years.
Hill kept silent and didn't say anything.
Gabrielle trembled and covered her face with her hands. She thought she could stay away from him and live with the baby. But when he left her in this way, she did not seem to be as indifferent as expected.
In particular, it was in order to save her that Jackson had fallen into the sea. When she thought of this, she couldn't help crying.
She opened her mouth and tried to call his name, but she could not make a sound.
She regretted that she hadn't told him that day in the hospital in person that the baby was his. It's better for him to know the truth.
When Hill saw Gabrielle was so sad, he wanted to comfort her, but he was also very upset and didn't know how to comfort her for a while.
Finally, Mr. Black came over, "It's raining. You are pregnant. You'd better go back first."
Suddenly, there were lightning strikes.
Gabrielle was frightened, and she did not know how she got out of this cold and wet dungeon. She only knew that she was like a walking dead, and this bad news also took away the soul inside her body.

Fragments from the Wildlands
“Your first death is always the hardest.” Miguela was the third-born child of a well-off merchant family and knew from around the time she could speak that her life’s path was already decided. She was to become an Orator, as was Xandran tradition. However, Miguela had an affinity with the magikal arts and somehow found herself studying at the Academy. She did just enough to keep up with her studies but never found the motivation to apply herself and “reach her potential,” as her instructors often said. It was not that Miguela was uninterested in the arts. Rather, she knew her time at the Academy ultimately did not matter. Whenever Miguela returned home, she would become an Orator, and that would be that. Or so she believed until, one day, an opportunity appeared that would change her life. Miguela was offered the chance to join a research team tasked with a mission of the utmost importance to the future of the Five Kingdoms. She could not turn down the prospect of regaining control of her life and finally finding a purpose for herself. Of course, Miguela might soon discover that offers that appear too good to be true are usually fraught with lies. Welcome to Five Kingdoms of Cordizal! Question: What is the Five Kingdoms of Cordizal? I often get asked this type of question about my stories by friends, bloggers, and potential readers. The Five Kingdoms of Cordizal is a high-fantasy epic universe that is the setting for most of my stories. The foundation of the universe is its multicultural, multiracial setting with several sentient races attempting to carve their legacy and survive. The world is fully fleshed out and vibrant with a rich and mysterious history not based on Tolkien mythology. This brings me to magic. To me, magic is an essential part of the fantasy genre, so, of course, there is magic in the Five Kingdoms universe. However, one critical part of the Five Kingdoms universe is that magic is an abundant commodity that is a part of everyday life and not some plot device used to drive the story. In short, the Five Kingdoms universe is the setting of epic fantasy stories with deep characters and world-building. I try to tell as many different types of stories as possible in the universe, and hopefully, you can find something for you in it.
