CHAPTER FIFTY NINE
GABRIELLE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I couldn't believe I said that. I didn't know if I would have gone ahead with it, but I knew that I would not be able to live with myself after this if Derek died from this incident. I tightened my hand around the gun, my heart pounding faster and harder until it threatened to break out. All the while, I heard Lucian's stare and knew the exact moment he gave in. He was bloody furious at me but I also saw the anxiety he had not been able to hide, he didn't want to guess if I would actually do it or not and it worked to my advantage. "Fine!" He spoke in between gritted teeth, shoving Derek away roughly but not before giving him a cheap knee to the gut. I did not rejoice on my victory, it was still far from over, the danger was still looming and currently striding towards me in heavy steps. "Don't come closer!" I yelled, taking a step backward. HeCHAPTER SIXTYGABRIELLE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The tension in the car was too intense, it became too unbearable.I wanted to disappear under his prolonged hostile silent stare, time moved like a slow ticking bomb, the nervousness was killing me piece by piece. He should yell or question me so that I would brace myself of what to expect, but he did neither.The driver made a quick turn and I soon realized that the car wasn't heading towards our house.In fact, we were going farther away from it."Where are we going?" I asked nervously. My question was left unanswered. I looked at Lucian to realize that he was no longer looking at me, his head was tilted back against the car seat, his eyes were shut, his jaw was clenched tight, either to suppress anger or pain?? His chest rose and fell unevenly with each breath he took.He looked pale. A droplet of sweat ran down his temple.He wasn't alright
CHAPTER SIXTY ONEGABRIELLE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A sudden movement jerked my eyes open from a short slumber, I recalled that I had sat beside Lucian, somehow I must have managed to fall asleep.My gaze drifted upward to be met by a pair of stormy grey eyes, his stare was cold. Brutal. Unforgiving.I shot to my feet and took a step backward, almost stumbling to the floor in the process.He didn't say a word, but he didn't need to. The fierce hostility in his eyes told me that hell was about to break loose.I inhaled nervously under his watchful gaze and decided to speak first."How long have you been awake, how do you f..feel?"His silence made increased my worry, I didn't realize that a small fearful sound escaped from my throat when he ripped off the IV drip connected to his hand.His stormy eyes were like a brewing hurricane, one that was soon about to be unleashed, and I didn't want to
CHAPTER SIXTY TWOGABRIELLE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A look of triumph flickered across his features, his fingers softly caress my face as though he thought this was a dream that would fade away if he held me any tighter."Tell me again." He demanded, his voice was thick, his gaze burning into mine, devouring all of me, leaving me no option but to give in to his demand."I love you...It's only you Lucian, you don't need to doubt that." My voice was no more than a whisper, each word was torn from out of my very soul. I was consumed by the power of his stare which turned several shades darker as his pupils dilated, his grip on me tighter, much more confident as his lips met mine hard, making me whimper from the fierceness of his ownership.He only kissed me deeper, tongue and all. The fire started in my chest, slowly spreading the warmth all over my body until a muffled moan escaped my mouth.He pulled back a bit so our f
CHAPTER SIXTY THREEGABRIELLE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"Come here." Lucian murmured as his fingers wrapped around my upper arms, I snapped out of my thoughts and thought that it was best if I did not allow myself to be upset over something I couldn't have changed.I gave Lucian a questioning stare when he started to lead us towards the bathroom. He was the one who needed a shower, not me."Since you mentioned your wifely duties to me, don't you think that you should finish it? Especially now that I'm weak and unable to care for myself." He pushed the bathroom door opened and entered inside, pulling me along.I stared at him incredulously."I didn't mean it like that and you know it! I never said that you were incapable!" I argued."Wait...You want me to bathe you?" I bit my lips anxiously not knowing why I was suddenly nervous."Yes, I. Want. You. To. Wash. Me." He called out each word separately,
CHAPTER SIXTY FOUR~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"You are mine!" He growled, flipping me on my stomach so that I was on all fours against the bed. I could feel him positioned on my entrance and in one hard surge, he was inside of me. Stretching me to the brim. I groaned at the feel of him, a small pinch of pain, combined with a surge of pleasure drove me insane with even more need.I hopelessly clung onto the sheets as he set a punishing pace.Our flesh slapped together, making wet erotic noises that echoed in the room as he thrusts harder and faster."You like that, don't you!? Who does this body belong to!" He pants, delivering two quick successive slaps to my ass cheeks when I delayed in answering.I whimpered my complaint, starting to reach out my hand to massage the spot when he barked out a warning.His finger further nudged my thighs apart, from this angle, he seemed to be sinking deeper, harder, and faster int
CHAPTER SIXTY FIVEGABRIELLE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Positive!It read for the third time, there couldn't have been any mistakes.I stared at the plus sign on the small pregnancy test.Pregnant!My hand unconsciously reached to touch my stomach, caressing slowly. I didn't feel any change, was I really carrying a life inside of me? One that was created by Lucian and me.After several weeks of morning sickness, I decided to take a pregnancy test to confirm what I had already suspected when I realized that my period was about two months delayed."I'm pregnant! " I repeated aloud, this wasn't a dream, my eyes teared up as I realized that this was reality! Lucian and I are going to have a baby! Would it be a boy or a girl? Excitement slowly warmed through my body, my heart had never felt so full. I smiled through the tears that stung in my eyes.Oh my God! This was unbeliev
CHAPTER SIXTY SIXGABRIELLE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I dried my wet hair with a towel wondering what was keeping Lucian so long. A worried frown pulled across my face as I contemplated calling him. I shook my head against the thought, he had clearly said that he had an urgent business meeting, it wouldn't be right if I distracted him.I chewed on my bottom lip slowly, still pondering on what to do when I heard the voice as well as the heavy footsteps.Lucian!He was back!It would be considered silly as I hurried to gaze at my reflection, fixing my freshly showered hair as best as I could.I couldn't contain my excitement as well as nervousness and had to inhale deeply and exhale raggedly. I would shamelessly admit that I spent the last couple of hours practicing how best to break the good news to Lucian.I didn't get to turn around fully when the door suddenly pushed open. A smile found its way to my lips whe
CHAPTER SIXTY-SEVENGABRIELLE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I didn't see Lucian the next day, and the day after that, and also the day after that until a week went past, He also wasn't receiving any of my calls which was why I had been shocked when I asked Fred about his whereabouts only for him to tell me that Lucian was on a business trip. He had returned only for a short while but was gone even before I could meet him.It hurt so much, I wouldn't lie about that. I felt as though he didn't care anymore, I wondered if he was even thinking about me as often as I did him or maybe all he could remember was "my betrayal" and he had chosen to forget that I exist.I have always remained inside the room, feeling too depressed to do anything but cry and feel sorry for myself. I've been trying to eat despite my complete loss of appetite only for the baby's sake but it seemed to me that I had lost some weight. I heaved out a sigh and stared at my reflec
