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 walks quickly out of her suite after taking a morning bath wanting to wash away the thoughts of sleeping next to Vincent for the nth time now only to be greeted by her old nanny in the hallway. A huge smile plastered on her face as she walks closer to her."Gabby." the old woman runs towards her and gives her a big hug which she returned with a sad smile on her face.The people in the chateaux are the people who stick with her through the hard times in her life. They are part of the imperfect family she grew up in. Matter of fact, her nanny Teresa is also her mother's nanny growing up in France. She knows her like how her own mom and Adrijan's mom know her."I didn't get to congratulate you properly last night. Didn't even get the chance to welcome you the day before. I missed you here my little girl.." her embrace gets tighter before she pushes Gabrielle a little so she could look at her face."Th-thank you Teresa... I regret that I didn't get to properly say my hellos the
