Rejected and Pregnant: Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince-Chapter 76: Throw a big surprise

"Amelie, I heard you were behind this morning’s breakfast," Katelyn said with a pleasant smile as she took her seat beside Dominick.

"I helped, but I can’t take all the credit," Amelie replied modestly.

"Please, have a seat," Gabriel said, rising slightly to pull out a chair for her.

"My, my. Look at how much of a gentleman my brother has become," Casaio teased, watching the gesture with amusement.

Amelie smiled as she sat down. "Of course he is. He’s always had it in him," she said, glancing affectionately at Gabriel, who took the seat beside her.

"Seems like the love between you two blossomed far sooner than anyone anticipated," Casaio added playfully just as the maids began placing plates before them.

Gabriel shot his brother a dry look. "Or we could just enjoy breakfast without the commentary," he suggested.

Amelie, however, gently countered, "I think conversations like these make breakfast better. It’s nice to share moments like this. It brings us closer, doesn’t it?"

"You’re right, Amelie. Seems like our thoughts align," Casaio said with a gentle smile in her direction.

But before the warmth could settle, Dominick’s voice cut through the moment. "Amelie, I hope you’re strong enough to survive by Gabriel’s side," he said as he sliced into his steak. "Gabriel, if you’re serious about her, you owe it to your mate to tell her about the ruthless things you’ve done, even to your own siblings."

The entire lively mood turned down with his words.

Gabriel didn’t look at Dominick. He simply reached for his glass and said, "I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that. I’d like us to have one peaceful meal together, without digging up the past." freeωebnovēl.c૦m

He didn’t raise his voice, but the message was clear. He wouldn’t hesitate to kick Dominick out if he kept doing it.

Amelie’s smile faded slightly as Dominick’s words lingered in her mind. ’What did the second Alpha Prince mean by that?’ she wondered. ’Was it related to those old articles, the ones accusing Gabriel of trying to kill his own siblings?’

She had read them the day she got to know Gabriel Sinclair rescued her. The scandalous headlines and vague reports painting Gabriel as a cold-blooded dark prince. But none of it ever felt real to her after how he treated her. ’I don’t believe he could do something like that,’ she thought, casting a subtle glance toward him.

Gabriel, unfazed by the tension, silently sliced the steak on the plate before him. Then, he pushed the plate toward her and swapped it with the one in front of her.

"Here, eat this," he said gently.

Amelie accepted the plate with a small nod. "Thank you."

Fortunately, the rest of the breakfast passed without any further arguments, though an uneasy silence lingered in the air after Dominick’s sharp remark.

Breaking the tension with a soft smile, Katelyn turned to Amelie. "Amelie, have you decided on your wedding outfit yet? If you don’t mind, I’d love to help."

Amelie brightened slightly. "Sure, Kate. I’d actually love that." She instinctively glanced at Gabriel, silently seeking his opinion.

Gabriel met her gaze and offered a reassuring nod. "Kate will definitely be a better help than me," he said, lips curved faintly. "Just don’t push yourself too hard. If you get tired, rest. I want you to enjoy this, not get overwhelmed." Then his tone turned more serious. "I have to step out for an important matter, but I’ll be back soon."

Casaio, who had been quietly observing, placed his napkin down and spoke up. "I’ll come with you."

He sent a quick mindlink to Dominick, ’You’re coming too.’

Dominick’s mental reply was curt: ’I’m not interested.’

’For me, you will come, Nick,’ Casaio said firmly, not giving him a choice.

"..."

"...And Nick will be joining us too," Casaio added casually, giving Gabriel a brief look.

"That’ll be wonderful," Amelie said with a soft smile, glancing at Gabriel. "Make sure to take your brothers’ help," she added gently, then walked away with Katelyn to begin her wedding preparations.

Gabriel took a slow sip of water before calling out, "Albus, is the car ready?"

"Yes, Master," Albus replied with a respectful nod.

"I’m heading out to work on a case," Gabriel said, glancing between Casaio and Dominick. He didn’t object to their company which meant he wanted their company.

Casaio and Dominick followed him. As they settled in the car with Gabriel seated between his two brothers.

"So, what’s the important matter?" Casaio asked.

"You’ll find out once we will be there," Gabriel answered. "Let’s not talk because I don’t want any argument to brew among us," he opined.

Casaio wondered what his brother was upto.

The car drove out of the estate and after an hour of drive they were in the destination.

The Pearl Hotel Residency.

"Why are we here?" Dominick finally spoke.

"To catch someone," Gabriel replied.

The guards at the hotel’s entrance bowed to see the three princes, a rarest of the rare event that never happened before. They walked toward the elevator meant for VIPs only.

Karmen pressed the button of the 25th floor and the golden doors of the elevator closed.

"Why does it seem like we are here to hunt someone down?" Casaio questioned.

"Yes, we are!" Gabriel replied with a smirk.

"Then, it’s going to be fun," Casaio chuckled.

"But why does it seem Gabriel is going to throw a big surprise for us?" Dominick skeptically gazed at their younger brother.

"I’ve stepped up my game, Nick," Gabriel said.

They were on the 25th floor as the elevator’s doors opened. Gabriel and his beta, Karmen made their way out first, followed by the other two princes.

They stopped outside a room when Karmen pressed the doorbell.

Seconds later, the door opened and Zilia was in front of them in her bathrobe. She froze at her place to see the three princes and stopped blinking too.

"Casaio..." She whispered, but her mind couldn’t form further words.

"Who’s at the door?" Just then, a man’s voice came from inside.
