Lock You In My Heart
Chapter 155 Deserted Hearing Westley mention Bryce and the Jones family. Gabrielle stopped in her tracks. She swiftly turned around to face him, staring right at him with angry âWhat do you mean?â Gabrielle asked, gritting her teeth.
âYou know what I mean,â Westley smirked. âNow, be a good girl and try not to piss me off so much, understand? You know what happens when you do.â The man took a step closer.
The air was oppressive, and they stood on the trail with seething tension.
Gabrielle continued to glare at him, but Westley was as calm as ever. She couldnât put a finger on what he was thinking His eyes were like black holes wanting to devour her.
The rage in Gabrielleâs heart was almost uncontrollable. She wanted to shout at him, but she tried her best to calm herself. Finally, after taking a couple of deep breaths, she spoke. **Westley. Youâve found my brother, havenât you?â If Lance can find out, then you couldâve easily found Hryce too. Heâs in Switzerland, isnât he? Tell me!â
Westley squinted his eyes and gave Gabrielle a cold smile.
âYou give me too much credit, Gabrielle.â He chuckled. âHmm, true, I could easily hunt down anyone I want, but whereâs the fun in that? Since they started this game, then I should play along, right? Iâm a very patient guy. But if you keep provoking me, however...â Westley lifted Gabrielleâs chin up with a finger. âI decide when itâs game over. Got that?â
âOf course, âGabrielle thought. âHeâs been pulling the strings right from the start.â
Out of nowhere, a heavy gust of mountain wind blew past them, making Gabrielle feel cold all over. Sure enough, Westley had already known where Bryce and Nellie were, but he didnât plan on ending things so quickly. Instead, it seemed he that just wanted to invite more people to participate in the game.
Gabrielle, for example.
As well as the Jones family.
Theyâd all become Westleyâs chess pieces without realizing it. The moment. Gabrielle crossed him, her brother and the whole Jones family would be done for Bryce and Nellie didnât think of the consequences when they started this whole affair, but Westley had taken them all in the palm of his hand. Like a predator hunting for sport, he could easily kill anyone he wanted, especially when he was in a foul mood.
This man was far more terrifying than Gabrielle had thought. He really was Hades Incarnate. Why on earth did Bryce decide to challenge him? 3 If Gabrielle knew Westley would be like this, she wouldnât have married him.
âDo you even have a heart?â she asked in a quiet, trembling voice. âAre you trying to pick a fight?â Westleyâs nonchalant expression slightly falters, but Gabrielle didnât seem to notice.
âIâm not stupid enough to do that.â Gabrielle replied, unconsciously eyeing the edge of the trail. If anything happened, she was afraid Westley would push her down the col Youâre asking me if I have a heart.â Westley flashed a knowing smile. âWhy. if I didnât, what will you do? Will you teach me about love?â
The change in Westleyâs tone made her feel somewhat embarrassed. âForget it!â Gabriel said.
âYou never take me seriously.â She turned around and started walking Love? As if Westley ever could.
behind.
âHey!â Westley called from âDonât leave me hanging here!â
Gabrielle ignored him, but Westley caught up to her, pulling her by the shoulder. âGod! I hate it when people donât finish what they start!â In a flash of panic, she furiously jerked her shoulder. Westleyâs hand fell, but he didnât seem to mind it. Instead, he looked at Gabrielle with great interest.
âTell me.â Gabrielle slowly raised her head.
with the gentle sun above them, Westley could see his wifeâs face clearly. No doubt, he thought she was beautiful. Gabrielle might be a bit stubborn and rebellious, but she had the features of a delicate little angel.
âDo you know why Bryce and Nellie eloped?â Gabrielleâs voice cut through Westleyâs thoughts. âitâs because they love each other. Your engagement to Nellie was strictly business, and no woman would ever want that,â Gabrielle said, clenching her fists.
âShe didnât love you, and a marriage without love would bear no happiness.â o âTrue love, Jesus!â Westley sneered at the young womanâs words.
Gabrielleâs heart sank, looking at Westley in great disappointment. Her words only fell on deaf ears.
âWhat do you know of other peopleâs love affairs, Gabrielle? How sure are you that they love each other?â Westley asked in a low voice. âMore importantly, what do you know about my previous engagement?â He asked these series of questions calmly, almost in a sarcastic, mocking tone. Gabrielle was hit with sudden realization, He was right. She didnât know much about the relationship between Bryce and Nellie even up until their elopement.
In fact, she didnât know much about Nellie at all. And her brother... did she ever understand Bryce? Although they had lived together for twenty years, they had never been as open to each other as other siblings were.
And then, when Bryce found out that she had feelings for him, he distanced himself from her. He even thought that Gabrielle was disgusting.
By love or by duty, she wanted to protect Bryce, even going as far as marrying the devilish Westley. Now, she was paying the price for her brotherâs faults.
âSee?â Westley reached for a lock of Gabrielleâs hair. He twirled it around his finger, looking at his wife scornfully. âThis is why you shouldnât talk about things you donât understand.â
âI...â Gabrielle opened her mouth, but she was speechless. It was as if there was a lump on her throat, making it hard for her to speak. âHolly, Holly!
Austinâs raspy voice echoed from above. He was heard shrieking in a panic, and Westley strode past Gabrielle in an instant.
Gabrielle was left alone. She looked at the ground, listening to Westleyâs footsteps disappear into the distance.
Just now, she seemed to hear that Austin screaming for help. âHolly...â Gabrielle suddenly blurted out. âOh no...â
Gabrielle picked up her pace to catch up to the top. Something mustâve happened to Holly. Even so, she felt a little upset that Westley left her all alone.
Thinking back on what happened, Gabrielle thought he mustâve been angry. A sigh escaped from Gabrielleâs lips. She realized she said things she shouldnât have.
