Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 22

Westley prided himself over his unparalleled self-control. Even when he was being set up by someone, he was good at resisting giving himself away. But for the first time, his self-control began to wither, and it was because of Gabrielle's flirtations.

"Gabrielle, wake up!" Westley put her down and pushed her to the door. As a result, Gabrielle bumped into the door and her whole back was in pain. She slowly opened her eyes and confusedly looked into Westley's gloomy black eyes.

"Ouch, it hurts..."

"Yes, it should hurt. Good that you can feel it. Look at me carefully."

Gabrielle tried but could not see Westley's face clearly. She was finding it difficult to focus. All she knew was she had to get closer to him. Her mind said 'no, ' but her body wanted to embrace him. Her hands rose up to reach for his neck.

"What are you doing, Gabrielle?" Blue veins popped out on Westley's forehead.

He simply could not endure it anymore.

Usually Gabrielle was nervous and anxious around Westley, but driven by her body's desires, she felt confident even as she was ashamed inside. She leaned closer and closer to him.

Gabrielle had completely given in to her instincts... This was what her parents wanted her to do.

"Gabrielle, open your eyes and see who I am!" Westley could see that she was beyond her wits today.

Gabrielle didn't care for his orders. She leaned further in and pressed her lips to his. He was talking too much, and this was the only way she wanted to shut him up.

One thing led to another and Westley did not realize either that the two of them had moved from the door to the bed... It seemed like both of them had suppressed desires. Gabrielle's touch turned him into a beast. He wanted to hold her with all his strength and touch her all over...

Gabrielle woke up with pain spread in her entire body. It was dark outside, she couldn't tell whether it was night or dawn.

There was so much pain in her arms and legs that she couldn't move at all.

She thought back to what had happened hours ago, and a wish to die came upon her.

She knew she had given in to Westley willingly. But now that thought made her feel disgusted with herself.

Gabrielle turned the bedside lamp on and found that Westley wasn't next to her.

He must hate her even more now. The sex had been aggressive. Surely, Westley had not been kind to her even in that. She wondered if he wanted to kill Tobias and Wendy for the ridiculous things they had made her do.

Gabrielle could wait no longer. She got out of bed, put on her clothes and went downstairs. Each step was a pain.

She was relieved to find Tobias and Wendy sitting in the living room. She was expecting them in worse positions.

What was worrying her the most was that Westley would punish the two of them.

Seeing the two of them there, she was relieved.

But thinking back to how Wendy forced Gabrielle to sleep with Westley made her shake with anger.

She was convinced that she did not deserve Bryce anymore. She was too ashamed to even live on.

"Gabrielle! When did you wake up?" asked Wendy with surprise, hurrying toward her.

"Why, Mom?" asked Gabrielle. She was standing higher up on the steps, looking at Wendy indifferently. Her eyes were sad and tired.
