Chapter 7

• Vincent pushes Gabrielle a little to check on her bleeding hand.
• "The cut is deep.." He murmurs to himself with a deep frown on his face as he examines her wound before looking at her face.
• "I take you to the hospital.." He speaks gentdy as he pushes the strands of her brunette curly hair away from her angelic face.
• She looked so lost, so angry and so down that he wanted to just imprison her back to his arms. Suddenly, Gabrielle pulls her hand away from his and looks up to glare at him. That is the only time that she seemed to have finally got a grip of herself.
• With a deep frown on her face, she stares at the stranger's handsome face who is looking down at her like she's a damsel in distress. His eyes are of deep blue it's almost violet that he reminded her of Elizabeth Taylor. His nose is tall that matched perfectly to his deep cheekbones and strong jaws.
• "I'll bring you to the hospital.." He repeats reaching out for her wounded hand once again as his other hand pulls out a handkerchief from the pocket of his suit and dabs it on her palm.
• Gabrielle looks at his hand holding hers. Who is this stranger and why is he acting so concern and all? Exhaling heavily and rolling her eyes, she again pulled her hand away from his. She has no time for good for nothing hookers like him right now.
• He's probably just one of her great father's pawns he sent to ruin her day. Probably one of his new bodyguards... perhaps, one of her bodyguards that she doesn't know.
• She knows her every move is still being watched by her father's shadow. She wouldn't admit to herself that she knows her father still cared for her, but that is actually the case. He'd always have someone to make sure she's safe. Something she isn't sure if she appreciates. She hates being watched. She hates the fact that she grew up surrounded by nannies and bodyguards.
• But what she hates the most is that,
• despite that, she still was never safe... She was about to walk past him when he stops her by pulling her arm until she's faced to him again. His face looks frustrated...and concern when she looked up to him again.
• Those eyes... She's sure she had seen those deep penetrating eyes. She just can't remember when and where.
• "You're bleeding!" He snaps making her blink and frown deeper.
• Did he just raise his voice at her?!
• Just who on Earth does he think he is?!
• "You have to be treated unless you want to die in infection." She almost chokes at that.
• He's over-reacting!
• "I have long been dead!" She talked back angrily surprised at her own words.
• "A small cut cannot hurt me anymore!" She continued which stunned him.
• He can see the anger from her beautiful face, he can hear the bitterness in her voice as well. She purposely pushed him on the chest with her shoulder as she walks past him, leaving him staring at her back as she walks towards her car with her wounded hand leaving traces of thick warm blood on the floor.
• "Stubborn brat...!" He mentally screams as he looks up the ceiling of the parking lot while running his fingers through his hair.
• "Idiot..." She muttered before cursing: feeling the burning pain in her hand now as she opens the door of her hummer only for the stranger to close it again by hitting it closed with his palm.
• "What the fuck is wrong with you?!" She snapped facing the stranger who is looking at her with both concern and anger in his eyes.
• "What is wrong with you?!" He replied back growing more frustrated at how stubborn this brat is.
• She has a wound and does she really plan on driving this huge vehicle that she wasn't supposed to be driving in the first place?! For such a tiny and slim lady as she is, a hummer?! To be honest he'd already expected her to be driving some nice sports car, but a huge and heavy hummer, seriously?!
• Not that it's illegal for a girl to drive it, but still, it's not in her personality to be driving this type of vehicles. What more interesting facts does he have to uncover about this brat?
• "Do you honestly think you're superwoman who can still drive this ridiculously huge hummer with your hand bleeding non-stop like that?!" He said angrily pulling her hand forcefully and tying the handkerchief around it so that it stops bleeding.
• The next thing he did was to steal the key from her other hand before grabbing her on the shoulders and pushing her to the other side of her huge vehicle.
• "Get in!" He commanded her.
• Fuck, not that frown on her beautiful face that he's already getting used to! Gabrielle remains glaring at him with open mouth.
• "Get in..." He tries keeping his cool as he opens the door and gently pushes her to get into the car.
• "Who do you think you are?!"
• "Argh! Just get in and let me bring you to the hospital, you brat!" He spat making her breathe through her mouth while chuckling.
• "Why don't you just get back to hell where you came from and leave me alone?!" She spats back trying to steal the keys from his hand but the damn beast is fast to deny his hand from hers and suddenly he ducks grabbing her lower body before throwing her up on his shoulders.
• "What the hell do you think you're doing?!"
• She screams in surprise with his sudden move. Her stomach is lying on his shoulder as he embraces her legs.
• "Bring me down!!" She screams as she hits his back continuously. The next thing she feels was his arms snaking around her back as he embraces her tightly so he can bring her down from his shoulders. The handsome stranger then leans down still holding her as he puts her down the back seat of her hummer.
