Chapter 55 Getting Her Away From The Enemy

• Gabriel’s POV
• Sergio sat in his chair, calm as ever. Meanwhile, my mind was anywhere but here. We were in his office for a quick meeting, but I couldn’t focus. I was exhausted—last night had drained me. The argument with Clairessa had pushed me to the edge. I’d acted out of line, but I didn’t care. All I wanted was to keep her away from Daniel.
• I had stayed out late on purpose, waiting until she was asleep before returning to the suite. I didn’t trust myself around her. My anger had nearly led me to kiss her last night. God, how badly I wanted to. Not just a kiss—I wanted her to know she was mine. But I held back, knowing if I crossed that line, there would be no turning back.
