As soon as the doorknob clicked and they got in, Gabrielle allowed herself to slide on the floor due to her horrible hangover, anger and too much exhaustion... but Vincent was quick to catch her fall and carries her to the sofa bed in the living room."Stay here..." he whispers as he was bringing her down, their faces just an inch away. Her intoxicating smell of tequila and expensive perfume together with the natural sweet smell of her skin are all pushing him to stare at her face and lean down to lock her lips with his. But he didn't do that. He knows that the last thing she needs right now is them ending up fighting again after kissing.Like what they always do..."Don't go anywhere." he says combing the locks of her naturally brunette curly hair to the back of her ear."Just stay... here," he says pushing her a little to lean on the sofa, his one arm still wrapped around her neck."With me." he tells her again not leaving her face with his deep penetrating blue orbs as he lets go
He had been all by himself growing up. His father and mother died in an accident, it was not too long ago when his grandfather found him. He is his only heir as his mother appears to be the only child he had. A child he kicked out of his life after she fell in love with Vincent's mechanic father. His grandfather dressed him, educated him, and sent him to the best universities in Germany to be the man that he is now. A man that any woman, such as the woman in front of him now would run after...It has been 10 years now.He had been twenty, and she had been 18 when he thought he owned the world having her in his life. But he was wrong. She left him for her dream, left Germany to try her luck as a model in New York. Yes, he had seen almost all of her works in the last ten years. Her commercials, her print ads, even the flop films she'd been in.He immune himself watching her crawl her way up to her status now. Not that she's on a high level, Cathy is still just one of the wannabes. One
She laughs before she tiptoes, places her warm hand on his stomach and kisses him on the lips to his surprise. If anyone sees them, they would think that they are actually so obsessed with each other. But he knows Gabrielle better, she's purposely doing this just to fuck the woman in front of them up then to pop his bubble after."Here," she places a car key he recognizes as his on his palm."It would be a shame if you send her out with a taxi. Dropped by here just to give your keys back, you know. Thought it would be a shame on my part too if people see you riding a cab yourself just because I took your car this morning." She continues smiling at him before looking at the blonde. If he were to hope, he'd love to think that Gabrielle is a jealous girlfriend, but also knowing how sarcastic and bitchy she could get, Vince won't be surprised if she's just shaming the now poor woman for what she heard from her a while ago."Try and catch up as well, I don't mind. I know you'll return to
"When are you ever gonna leave him alone?" That was the first question she screams at her father's face the moment she marched in to his office with Vincent following her from behind.Gabriel Davis just sips on his coffee as he continues looking out the window over looking the busy city of New York."Why do you still meet with him?! Stop bothering yourself with that swine!" She screams with shaking hands that are both in a fist.Vincent squints remembering how she addressed him in the same way. A swine."There is nothing else he can do that could make me go crazier and that could ruin your name! It's all been done! So just leave him alone!" She continues before quickly wiping the tears that ran down her cheeks.Vincent wanted so much to keep her in his arms, to take the anger and pain away... he wants to be there for her and he wants her to be just his.Hearing the bitterness in her voice makes him mad, knowing that the bitterness is just as much as how she trusted that twat... how mu
Vincent could only stare at Gabrielle as the plane slowly lands on the middle of what seemed to be an old castle in London.She's never said or spoken even a word since they got into the private jet of her father that has taken them to London. She remained just staring at the window with a very grim expression written all over her beautiful face.He is sitting on the sofa just in front of the reclining chair she is resting on. She had been frighteningly silent all throughout their trip. Her only movemernt involves just her breathing pattern and a few sobs.Now as he looks at her, he can see how much sadness there is in her eyes as she continues to look out the window."Ladies and gentlemen, we are now landing in the Dover castle in England. Please keep your seatbelt fastened until we land safely."The jet shakes a little as it lands in the middle of the vast green grass a few meters away from the palace.Vincent waited for the plane's engine to finally stop as he stares at the unmovin
Vincent can feel and hear every tick of the wristwatch he has embracing his wrist that seems to be in synch with the loud beating of his heart as he stands at the left wing of the altar that is decorated with fresh pink and white tulips as he waits for his bride to walk the aisle.The ceremony was supposed to start at 5:30 pm, same time as when the sun starts to go down. The skies are of combination of fuchsia and orange now, sorme part of it is of deep blue like his eyes that keep on checking on his time before scanning the whole of the garden in quest to find a shadow of that one special person everybody in the reception are waiting for.It is almost ten past the timing now... but he feels as if he's been standing here for a year already. What if she doesn't show up?! What if she does something bad to herself just to stop this marriage?Gabrielle, although a doctor can seem to be very careless about her own life to be very careless about her own life now. And he's afraid--thrilled e
"She's missing!" That was the very first thing he'd spoken as he reaches Gabrielle's father's office."What on Earth do you mean she is missing?""She disappeared right after the reception, I couldn't find her anywhere Gabriel!"Gabriel's jaws click as he stands up from his swivel chair and looks out the window."She isn't missing... you just couldn't find her." he looks out the window and flinches remembering the times when that one particular place he knows where she is right now was still the place where they used to play in. It was Gabrielle's little castle. Her favourite spot in the whole of the chateaux. The place where she grow up just making her parent fall in love with her everyday. That was her place, their place as a family...His late wife and his only daughter loved that place with all their hearts contentment and so did he... But that is also the same place that Gabrielle, together with all the other things she used to love doing with her mother, abandoned after her mom
Vincent adjusts himself and pulls Gabrielle closer to him as she sobs in her sleep. He has just changed her clothes into a satin night gown that he saw in her closet."Ssshhh..." he says tapping her hip before gently rubbing her back in a soothing way like she's a small child."Hush love..." he whispers kissing her forehead, feeling sorry that she's hurting this way because of him. If only he could take her pain and anger towards him out of her fragile heart, he would.But the only thing he knows he can do now is to hold on and be patient with her. It will certainly take time for her to ever trust him again but he is not someone who gives up easily on people he loves, certainly, his wife will not be the first to make him give up."Don't leave me... please... save me from them... dad." she whispers in her sleep making him feel horrible. Gabrielle is having a nightmare... of what happened to her in the past. Of what led her to abandon herself."I'm here Bella... I'll always be herebfr
"Gabrielle..." the lawyer appears before her in the living room much to her surprise.He greets her with a warm smile before he puts the attaché case down on the table and reaches his hand out to her before frowning as she wipes the tears that ran down her cheeks. The lawyer then looks past her as his mouth opens in agape with the surprise that meets him from the pool area. The very reason why he is here today is right in front of him. Vincent Walton."I see that Mr. Walton came to you first.." Gabrielle looks behind her where Vincent is playing with her daughter in the pool area.What did the lawyer just mean by that?"What do you mean?" The lawyer frowns before he nods and opens the attaché case."I'm afraid you need to return to England, Gabrielle. The company needs you." She sniffs at that before gulping. The company never needed her in the past years, the company, just like what her father willed is being managed by Vincent who became the sole heir of everything after their divor
"Please s-stop..." she cries shaking in fear as his hands pinned her on the bed and he leans closer to kiss her neck while his hips move forward sliding his maleness in and out her."-vince!!" The tears spring down her face aspain and more pain envelops her while he gradually loses his mind and he keeps on moaning out her name.She sniffs smelling her own blood that is running out of her nose. He smacked her face resulting her eyes to develop a purple bruise and her nose to bleed. Letting go of her wrist that she was quick to put on his chest so she can try and push him, Vincent uses the hand that lets hers go to embrace her closeras he keeps on panting. The natural minty smell of his breath is now mixed with intoxicating alcohol. He groans like a wounded beast as he quickens his phase on claiming her and reaching his climax. Gabrielle could only continue crying as she feels her limbs shaking out of fear and pain altogether."You're mine... always..." he again puts his hand around he
"And they lived happily ever after.." reading to Veronica every night before bed has become one of Gabrielle's most favourite things to do with her daughter. Holding the hard bound and colourful book in hand as she lies her back on the pillows against the headboard, Gabrielle peeks at the pretty little angel whose eyes are still fixed on the illustrations on the book. Sometimes, Veronica would even mouth the lines she's reading. Doing this with her every night, at the age of 21 months, Nic already knows most of the letters and she's memorized most of the words written on the book.Although on this particular night, she didn't mouth any word of the fairy tale with her and thus, just kept on asking questions about the meaning of certain words and required her to explain furthermore what was happening in the story of the Sleeping Beauty."Mommy?" Nic calls on her softly as she looks up so she can see her mother's face who is right beside her on the bed. Slowly, she sits up kneeling bes
Gabrielle watches her daughter who is seating on the high chair in between her and Vincent as they dine in together for a sumptuous dinner that Vincent has prepared for them. He roasted a turkey with raspberry just and prepared some fresh mashed vegetables for her daughter. Veronica keeps on glancing at the tall masculine man she now loves calling dada.Vincent would also throw a glance every now and then at the toddler tyrant he is having a dinner with for the first time.Shaking his head with a smirk when every time he would glance at her, Veronica would look away and pretend that she's busy with her own meal-her eyes slowly moving up to peek at him again and again as she bows her head and plays with her food inside the bowlin front of her.Gabrielle has been watching the same scenario for the past ten minutes now. Her eyes are pinned on these two bloody troublemakers who still have traces of raspberry purée on their skin. Reaching for Nic's lips, Gab pats on the small bits of broc
"Nic!" Gabrielle throws herself up from lying on the bed. Adjusting her vision to what little light there is in the room that is coming from outside. The curtain is closed and she had to reach for the side lamp to have lights inside the dark room where she is."Nic..." her heart begins pounding harshly against her chest realizing she is alone in the room! Veronica is nowhere to be found and for that she immediately rises and stands up to look for her."Veronica!" She runs outside the suite to an empty castle. She looks at her left and right, her hand lost in her brunette locks as she feels as if someone punched her in the stomach because of fear and anger.Where the fuck did Vincent took her daughter?!How long has she been unconscious to not even notice her daughter no longer beside her?!Running down the grand staircase as if she's being chased, Gabrielle immediately goes straight to the playroom.Empty. The clinic. Empty."Veronica!" She cries out in fear before hearing a loud sc
"Dada..." Gabrielle sobs looking at her daughter leaning her head in between Vincent's neck and shoulder like she does to her. She's trembling in so much emotions as she looks at her daughter's happy and hopeful face."Wew 'ave you been, dada (where have you been, dada)?" Her small palm rests on Vince's shoulder before he kisses her forehead while shutting his eyes closed at the question.How can he answer that when the only answer is that he's been through hell without her mother and herself?"Dada? Do you wove (love) Nic?" She asks again making Vince touch her cheek and she lifts up her face to look at him."I love you Nic... with all of me... I'm so sorry I wasn't there.." he says touching her small nose with his before looking at Gabrielle who looks away with so much sadness in her eyes."Do you wove (love) mommy too?" Veronica yawns as she asks without looking away from her father- waiting for an answer. With that being asked Gabrielle throws Vincent an accusing look before she
He is patiently waiting outside the door as he anticipates what is about to come. With high hopes and excited heart, he lifts his hand again towards the doorbell to ring it once again only to stop midway when he hears the low creaking sound coming from the door frame as it slowly opens.Vincent breathes hard as finally, the door reveals the very woman he has been looking for in the past two and a half years."Bella..." he whispers her name he so misses calling as their eyes meet for the first time in a long time, his with so much longingness and hers... with an obvious shock.And FEAR.The widening of her eyes and the way she gulps as her hand that is holding the doorknob shakes made Vincent's heart aches and his feature soften as he puts his hand on the huge antique wooden door, stopping it from slamming onto his face."Bella please..." he takes one step forward and he sees her shaking in so much fear. He frowns as she looks at her left and right, gripping on the doorknob tighter as
The bullets of sweat kept on falling from her forehead down to her flushed red face. Gabrielle counts in her mind as she pants while doing her best to even out her breathing pattern. Another electrifying shoot of pain runs down her spine down to her pelvic bones. She could feel her soul separating from her body as the excruciating pain consumes her and she throws her head screaming in pain."H-Help mneeeeeeee! Oh Gooooood please!" She pants clutching on the bedsheet so tightly her knuckles turn white and the veins on her neck looked as if they'll explode.Blowing the air through her mouth, she raises herself up as she pushes so hard she can feel her jaws clicking and the tears stinging her eyes as she closed them tightly while suppressing a scream to put more of her energy on her pelvic area.She tries to reach the count of how long she should push before she exhaustedly throws her body back to the bed. Her legs has been opened wide for what seemed like forever to her now.She is sure
Gabrielle places the stethoscope on top of the little girl's chest as she commands her to breathe hard while listening to the drumming of her heart. The little girl sniffs as she looks at the doctor in front of her. Gabrielle looks at the angelic face of the little girl before she frowns and pouts at her, making her look away in embarrassment when the doctor catches her staring at her face guiltily. Again, the girl sobs as she wipes her cheeks with her mud-stained hands."Tsk.." Gabrielle tsks at her making her sob and pout, ready to cry again. Using her tears to tame the now upset doctor."Don't cry on me young woman..." she whispers taking the stethoscope off of her chest and detaching its earpiece off of her own ears.Shaking her head at the little girl, Gabrielle could only try not to smile at how cute she is when she's trying not to cry in front of her like this."Your mom will have a hard time washing your dress young woman..." she puts her hand on her waist as she stomps on her
