    ... smile on his face. “I don’t hold it against you. This must have been quite a disturbing shock for you to find out about your real father.” He dropped his hand and turned with a sigh, walking a few steps away, head bowed. “I’ve heard that my—“ He quickly rectified with an apologetic look over his shoulder aimed at Gabriel, “ our father was quite the ladies man back in his day.” Daniel turned again, eyes pinned on Gabriel. “Did you know he came from a family of renown musicians in Spain? Some of our ancestors played for the kings and queens in Europe. I’m told that our own father once sang for the pope himself before he journeyed here to America. He was an accomplished opera singer.” Daniel grinned. “You must have inherited your amazing voice from him.” Gabriel looked away feeling…strange. His father—his real father was a stranger to him. He knew nothing of the man except that he’d founded North Star Records, and from the talks around the dinner table that night, they also had a vineyard and a rose farm. I’d like to say goodnight to Abs before I leave,” was all he said. “Of course,” Daniel replied, his smile dying completely. “About Abigail…she really is a very…innocent girl. She grew up abroad.

I’ll have one of the wait staff fetch Abigail for you. She might have retired for the night.” Daniel looked at his watch. “We’ve been in here for three hours.” “Let me find her. Just tell me where her room is.” Daniel’s eyes grew hard. “If Abigail wants to invite you into her room, I’ll let her decide for herself. She’s not the type of girl who indulges in pleasures of the flesh.” Gabriel almost smirked. Daniel was an uptight nerd. No wonder Mikayla was creeping around on him, not that that was a good excuse for her slutty behavior though. “Whatever,” Gabriel replied with an indifferent shrug. Daniel narrowed his eyes briefly before gesturing for Gabriel to follow him back out to the living room. He nodded to Gabriel and left him waiting in the softly lit room.
