Her stomach aches more. It feels like she's going to have her period but isn't she pregnant? She got up from the bed and went to the bathroom and just as what she had thought. There's blood spot on her panties. She nearly curse and all she have to do is to take a long warm shower and change her clothes.
Gabriel woke up when she left the bed. He waited for her to come out from the bathroom. It's early in the morning and she look pissed.
"Hon, you alright?" after what seemed like thirty minutes. She got out wearing PJs and over size shirt. She look adorable and casual. "What happened?"
"Period."
"Huh?" Gabriel was puzzled. She frown at him and shoot him a glare. She left the room with a bang. "Sabrina!" He calls. He glance at the clock. It was too early so he yawns and was about to go back to sleep. But he thought about her temper early this morning. Did she wake up on the wrong side of the bed?
He walk down stairs and found her lying on the sofa hugging a plush pillow sideways. He squatted in front of her and patted her head. She pushed his hand away with a creased brow.
"What's wrong?" It seemed like you have your period today. He was about to say more then he thought about what she said a while ago. So, she's having her period and she's moody today. "Do you need anything?" She turn back from him, this is the first time she's acting this way. "Okay." he said and instead of leaving, he uses the small space behind her and hugged her from behind to warm her up.
"Leave." She mutter.
"No. Let me warm you up." She didn't say anything. "Let's go to our room?" She didn't say anything at all. So he pick her up like a princess and kisses her forehead. "Is this why you aren't in good mood?" He immediately knows why she's not in good mood. She expected to be pregnant but she's not.

He stayed on bed until she had fallen asleep and that's when he left. While he's walking to his office, the thought of her getting pressured was making him worried. So instead of pressuring her, he call the house and order the maid to give her ginger tea.
He did a brief research on women's period and stomach cramps. He finish reading ten different sites within twenty minutes and he called his secretary to give his assistant instruction about few stuffs that he wanted and should be sent to the villa.
It only take few moments when the assistant told him that she already instructed his driver. He has to work more in order to earn more money to dote on his wife and be more powerful to protect her. The launching that he's been planning for two years will finally shook the world.
He called his secretary. And he came in immediately.
"The launching will be here in the Philippines for the first time."
His secretary was surprised because it was meant to be launched in America. But why the sudden change of venue? Their launching in America has been ready for like six months now.
"Sir, but the launching in America…"
"Will be in America. I am planning to launch it both in Philippines and in America." He toss the black folder on the desk to him.
"It will be in different places but at the same moment."
Secretary Gonzales open the folder and his eyes widens. His boss was efficient and always ready for the expected battle. It will be the first time in history that this will happened in Lawson Empire. His boss was totally doting on his wife and this was all to show power and to give it to his wife.
"This will crush our competitors."
"That is the purpose of this launching."
Once he got that power, it will be time to increase his army and to smash those who hurt his wife and her mom. Though he wasn't there in her past, he will help her get revenge for her mother. He had research on it and though he knew partially about it, he never know what else she had witness.

So according to his calculations. The trauma was big and it is not just a simple kidnapping. Janine had done something great to make her not to talk.
He call her before eating his lunch.
"Hey, my sunshine. How's your day?"
"Hmm."
"Have you eaten your lunch?"
"It looks like—" she's probably looking at the foods that she had eaten. He could hear the sound of the horror movie she's watching.
"Make sure you eat a lot. What do you want me to buy? Ice cream? Pizza or—"
"I want Burger King. Ice cream is bad for me. So… I'll go for sundae…"
"But isn't it just the same with ice cream?" He asked.
"Don't interrupt."
"Okay." He hold his mouth in order not to laugh.
"I like sundae with different flavors." She sniffled.
"Are you crying?"
"No." Her voice is hoarse and sounds like someone who's crying. He had read on a site about PMS and mood swings.
"What else? Tell me what you want my sunshine."
"I don't really like sunshine." She sniffled.
"Hmm. I'll send the sundae for you right away."
"Okay."
He contacted his friend that owns an ice cream factory and he asked for a sundae machine with complete sprinkles and cones and that someone would pick it up. He ask his men to help pick up the machine and he sent the bill to his friend's bank account.
"Seriously bro? This is too sudden?"
"My wife wanted sundae so—she would enjoy it."
"Woah, that was fast right? Expecting little Gabby and little Sabrina?"
"We aren't expecting any." He said.
"Oh." Jiro was silent for a while. "What about nights out? It's Friday and we haven't been in a group jam. Bring your wife I am sure that the boy's wives and girlfriends would love to meet her."
"I have to consult my wife about that. She doesn't like crowd." He answer nonchalantly.
"I understand but man, it will be my birthday soon."
"Okay, I will talk to my wife. But now she's not in the mood."
"I understand bro." Jiro sigh. "Is there anything else your wife needs?"
"I'll call when I need something from you." He hang up and call his wife.
"Do you like it?"
"A sundae machine?"
"Yes. So if you like ice cream you could have it anytime." He can feel her smile from the phone.
"Hubby, I love it." she mutter.
"Don't eat a lot of it. It is bad for your period. Make sure to have hot pads with you always."
"Okay."
"I'll be home soon. I'll just finish few of this."
"I'll wait for you."
He hope he could go to his wife and comfort her. When the clock struck six. He pick up all of his papers and locked it on his drawers neatly. He pick his coat, wallet and phone as he got out from his office. His secretary said his goodbye.
His driver pick him up in front of his office building. But just as he was about to get in, an arm wrapped around his back.m and the smell of perfume enters his nostrils and the familiarity makes him cringe. He immediately unwrapped the arms and face the woman who look so vulnerable.
"Gabby."

8 336The Infinite Labyrinth
(Story complete - Book 1 "Shanghaied", 2 "Shortcuts", 3 "Secrets" and 4 "Sanctions") It is the 19th century, and war smoulders between England and France. Any hope for a quick end to Napoleon's rampage across Europe ended when the Great Gates opened in 1800. For a fortunate few, the strange world of the Infinite Labyrinth offers opportunities, strange descriptors popping in their minds, informing them of growth, and status beyond that of a mere mortal. The materials and power crystal they bring back foster a new age, both military and civilian. Aether-powered Skyships prowl the skies, as all the great nations blessed by the Gates try to turn the blessings of the Labyrinth into immediate advantages. But for Jonas, an apprentice leatherworker, his friend Ira, and so many Londoners, the fabled ones that walk the Labyrinth are distant heroes, seen from afar. They fell short when their Potential was measured, and they fill their mundane lives with distant dreams. One man wants to break the stalemate. The Tyrant of the Dominion of France, Napoleon Bonaparte, has a plan. Eighteen years after the world changed, he will force it to change again. And when civilians are caught in the fallout, the unthinkable happens. Six people, unqualified, forbidden to ever enter the Labyrinth, find themselves stranded in a distant zone, forcefully turned into Professionals. They know little of what that means, but they have to figure out the rules that are now their lot, for they have little hope to escape their predicament otherwise. They need to understand what the descriptors in their minds mean, what each of the strange piece of gear waiting in treasure chests behind terrible guardians can bring them. They have to become Professionals on their own and rejoin the Empire. They will figure out their new lives one way or another. But will there be an Empire waiting for them when the Gates re-open? Caught in a clash of empires and high tiers, they will do what little they can. They will step up and do their best. One way or another. The Infinite Labyrinth is a slice-of-life litRPG adventure set in a real historical setting. It's a hard, crunchy litrpg. Expect blue boxes everywhere, and the system itself is very mathy. It started life as a serial. I prepared some proper worldbuilding, with enough details and background for lots of different potential story arcs, but as I wrote, I realized the main story needs to have a definitive end. So, there are four books in total, for a bit under 1500 pages, plus additional side stories, and even maybe a sequel one day. The Gore tag was added as a precaution because there are a few scenes with some light gore.
