Chapter 6

• Concealing the hurt in his face as an excruciating pain shoots through his heart.
• "That or she dies. That or your boyfriend loses his career. That or his siblings getting kicked out of school."
• "You disgust me... so much.." She says turning around to leave.
• Banging the door so loud and not minding the pair of eyes that darted to her direction as she left her father's office. Down at the ground floor she tried all she can to take out all she had to help Ade. But her father is truly an intelligent filthy man of power.
• "Fuck!!!" She cursed as for the third time she tried, her card was declined.
• Her credit cards stopped working last night. Now even her saving account are no longer working. She wouldn't be surprised if all her things are thrown out of her own house now too.
• "Fuck..fuck...fuck!" She kicked on the machine. That old man!!! She has her own money and he's taking away all those from her too! It's not as if all she had was from him! She has her own savings that could help Ade's mom to continue her treatment but damn it, her father plays dirty.
• "Follow her.." The old man tells him as he stands in front of his table.
• He is sitting on his swivel chair facing the window that overlooks the busy city of New York.
• "Aren't you being too harsh on your daughter?" He asks knowing how upset she looked after banging the door of her father's office and marching her way out not minding the tens of people watching her with fear in their eyes.
• "I have no time, Vincent..." From the reflection on the window, he can see his face turning grim like he was in pain.
• "Follow her.. You have no idea how that girl is when upset."
• "She's not just upset... She's so mad she broke the screen of the ATM machines downstairs." Vincent muttered.
• What a headache. He thought to himself finding the act so childish... She is childish.
• "Did she..?" The older man scoffed.
• "Check my car. I wouldn't be surprised if they tell me I would have to grab a cab going home tonight." He heard him chuckling which made him just narrow his eyes.
• "Why is she doing this, seriously?"
• "Just follow her, Vincent. I can't fix her in my time... Fix that girl for me, and I'll give you everything you could ever ask for."
• "You're sick, Gabriel." He whispered before turning around to leave and check on this old man's brat.
• "I am..." Said the old man as the door closes with a thud.
• "Very sick.." He looks up and stare at the sky, hoping that Vincent could truly be the answer to his prayers.
• He couldn't leave his only daughter anyhow. He needs someone strong enough to handle her. Vincent may have been an ice cold and heartless dick. But there is something about the man that he liked. Something that he hopes will be what Gabrielle needs in this world...
• He hoped...
• "Fixing those glasses will be too easy" Gabrielle jumps in surprise after hearing the man's voice that seemed to be coming from six feet under.
• His voice was so... so deep... So masculine..
• The girl in front of him looks so much more angelic when he's near her like this. Only that, her actions are not really angelic like her face. In her hand is a baseball bat she is using to murder her father's rolls royce. Seeing her aiming the weapon to the front window of the car, Vincent almost jumped to her and stop her. But damn it, her moves together with her sexily angered face stopped him that he ended up just watching her.
• The first whip cracked the centre of the window and he continued watching her even if he's already starting to get sick in his stomach. She is savage as fuck.
• Her face is showing discontentment even after she finally had the glass break down into pieces. She looks so angry, so hurt and so... Sexy.
• Damn! He cursed himself watching her curves move in mysterious ways as she kept on hittng the car using the baseball bat he doesn't know where she got from. Breaking the ATM machine is not enough that she also has to break her father's million-dollar worth of luxurious car?!
• Their eyes met and he was stunned.
• This is not the first time that their eyes met, but this is definitely the first time he is able to look at how incredibly beautiful she really is even when angered like this.
• He couldn't help but walk near her, slowly taking the bat from her harnds. She lets go and just continued watching the beautiful stranger in front of her. But just as she got a grip ready to scold him for sticking his nose into her business, the tall guy with the deepest voice she's ever heard aimed the weapon to the side window of the car and with one heavy hit, it broke into pieces.
• Her grin made him smile. She looked as if she just found another wicked soul to form a gang with. Reaching for the pocket of her tight ripped jeans, she took a dagger out and halted the guy by tapping on his hard-muscled back.
• One single move she never though had already sent million chills in to his spine. The feel of her small hand tapping him on the back feels a million times different from the taps he'd received for doing good jobs done, it's even more different from all the erotic touch women had done to his muscles, and what this brat did was not even more than a tap! Just a plain tap to halt him!
• Vincent looked at her face down to her other hand.
• His eyes widened a little finding what's in her hand. It was a dagger, is she always this ready to break things that she actually has a baseball bat and a dagger in hand?
• Even before he could ask or say anything, she's already squatting on the floor, aiming the sharp weapon on the wheels of the car. One stab and the wheel whistles.
• She's pretty strong and she seemed to know exactly where to stab that he begins to wonder how many cars of her father had she murdered like this in the past?
• Vincent watch her in awe as she kept on stabbing the poor tires. It was only when he noticed that her hand starts to draw her own blood that he was alarmed, she's losing a grip now that she just kept on stabbing the poor vehicle aimlessly.
• "Hey.!" He pulled her up, hipped on her wrist and took the dagger away before throwing it to the floor but she never stopped, she kicked on the car more as she screams in anger.
• "I hate you!!" She screams as she begins to lose it.
• Throwing all her anger and hatred to the innocent car.
• "Hey! Hey! Enough.!" He pulls her to face hin while shaking her shoulders.
• Trying to halt her.
• Trying to get her a grip of herself.
• "Enough!!" He shook her one more time, again their eyes met. Hers is full of hatred and pain as tears begin to fall down her rosy cheeks.
• "Enough.." He whispered softly staring at her face.
• He knows she's coming from something deeper. He has no bloody idea why she is like this but it couldn't be just about her accounts being in freeze... Something more grave must have led her to be like this.
• "It'll be ok.." He says calmly looking at her broken-hearted face.
• For no reason, Vincent pulled Gabrielle from something deeper. He has no bloody idea why she is like this but it couldn't be just about her accounts being in freeze... Something more grave must have led her to be like this.
• "It'll be ok.." He says calmly looking at her broken-hearted face.
• For no reason, Vincent pulled Gabrielle to his chest. He hated that she's crying like this. He hated that he could see and feel the pain in her eyes like this... In mere seconds, she's already imprisoned in his embrace and that is then... he knew..
• That he must hold her like this... That he must keep her like this and stop her tears.
