Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 275

Chapter 275: Same enemies (1)

In the Blackthorn estate, Gabriel was dragged out of the cell he had been placed in. His body was weaker now to the point that he could not move a muscle. He could not put up a fight against the men holding onto him, which angered him.

He was the great hero who brought victory to the land. He was mistreated by the very people who should have been singing his praises.

Why hadn’t anyone come to the estate looking for him? Xavier’s home was the first place they should have looked when he did not show up for work.

Gabriel was taken out of the estate to a small room filled with small weapons like the dungeon.

Gabriel thought he was left for dead after the guards dropped him and walked out the door until he heard someone approach him. Looking up, Gabriel felt happy for the first time in days.

"Selene," Gabriel smiled, trying to lift his hand to Selene. He wanted to hold her hand and kiss her.

The world was slowly becoming dark as the pain grew, yet Selene shined so brightly in his eyes.

Selene kept her distance from Gabriel and took in the awful sight of him.

Gabriel looked as though someone had sucked the life out of him and it was quite possibly what the wound left by the holy weapon was doing since Gabriel wasn’t dead yet.

"I know you would have come. Cassandra, she deceived us. She wasn’t all that she claimed to be," Gabriel said, warning Selene to keep her safe. "I shouldn’t have trusted her."

"No, you shouldn’t have," Selene said, agreeing with Gabriel for the first time since they had separated. "You brought this upon yourself. Have you been asking for me in hopes I would pity you? In hopes that I would for some reason be in love with you?"

"You were right. I shouldn’t have brought Cassandra home. I was angry with you at the time because I felt like you were always looking down on me," Gabriel explained his actions.

Gabriel still believed Selene’s coldness had thrown him into another woman’s arms. Why couldn’t she give him the same attention she seemed to give Xavier? Why did she need to be so cruel?

"Look down on you? Ha," Selene laughed, a little annoyed he still said this. "I am not going to get into this with you. I wanted to come here to see the result of your actions."

Selene continued, "You were so blinded by hurting me that you missed Cassandra plotting to kill you. I don’t feel sorry for you, and I don’t love you, so don’t ask to see me. You should have used this time to look over your mistakes. Take responsibility for all your actions."

"I have-"

"No, you haven’t. You say Cassandra deceived us like we are still a pair, and you are blaming your actions on me looking down on you when I didn’t. Without evidence, you placed your mother’s death on me. You were out to ruin me, and now, you come to me when she has betrayed you," said Selene.

Selene couldn’t believe the nerve of Gabriel to show up at the gates only when he had lost everything. What did he think of her to believe she would run to him and forget everything he did?
