She ran away, as if someone was chasing after her.
Suddenly, she bumped into a pair of warm and broad arms, a faint breath lingering in her nose, and she almost shed tears.
Gabriel quickly held her. "What's the matter?" he asked with concern.
His voice was low and full of magnetism, caressing her heart like a spring breeze.
Samantha never felt that one could be so strong. When she was in the fire, her heart was broken, but now it was broken again.
She was very painful, which was much severe than disfigurement and abortion.
She clutched him by the collar with scarlet eyes.
"Gabriel, tell me. She asked in a hoarse voice, "Am I supposed to die?"
Looking at her with gentle eyes, Gabriel held her shaking shoulder with his broad palm.
"Don't be afraid," he comforted in a calm and low voice, "I will always be there for you no matter what happens."
Hearing his words, Samantha buried her face into his arms, regardless of the eyes of other people.
She was shaking and crying.
She once thought that she had been indestructible, and at least she would not so easy to express emotions.
But she was so naive.
A single word of Ruben could make her heartbroken again.
She was sent to hell in an instant by Ruben before she had time to enjoy the joy of tonight's victory.
How could he do that to her?
She had died in the fire, but he still had no pity for her.
She was unable to believe that he said to Peyton that she deserved it.
She was so painful with grievance and anger.
"Gabriel, how can they be so cruel to me? Am I supposed to die? "
Like a duckweed drifting in the deep sea, Samantha could only rely on Gabriel at this time.
They depended on each other, floating and sinking in the sea.
The man held up her face, which was now full of tears, and wiped her tears with his fingers cautiously.
"Don't be afraid. You're not alone anymore," he said, gazing into her with deep eyes.
Managing to control her emotion, Samantha nodded tearfully.
She always found herself to be coward.
With a heart that had been full of scars because of Ruben, she thought that she would be strong enough, but in fact, she still felt the pain when she was hurt.
She was not as powerful as she imagined.
Gabriel helped her to the door to sit, told the driver to drive, and poured a glass of water for her.
He witnessed how Samantha came out of that nightmare step by step.
"Wait for me," Gabriel said, patting her on the head.
Samantha forced a smile.
It happened that Ruben and Peyton came out hand in hand.
Seeing Samantha’s pale face, Peyton stepped forward to express her sympathy.
"Ms Powell, are you okay? You don’t look very well. Is there anything I can help? "
Peyton didn’t seem to be sincere.
Ignoring Ruben’s sharp eyes, Samantha stood up to her feet as she didn't like to be looked down on.
Having kept the posture too long, which had caused blockage of blood circulation, the moment she managed to stand up, she fell to the ground.
"It seems that Ms Powell is really good at acting," Ruben said sarcastically, reaching for her wrist and holding her in time.
After coming to her senses, Samantha looked straight at him.
"Mr Knight, come on. Speaking of acting, Miss Moore is one of the best actresses. She's a famous actress. She's much better than me in acting. " She tried to calm down and threw away the man's hand.
Why was he doing this now since he could say such heartless words?
With a faltering, Ruben almost fell and he stood firm in time. "Ingrate!" he snapped.
Samantha suddenly felt dizzy. She held the post and sat down slowly, looking down at the man's exquisite high-grade black shoes, leaving traces on the post with her fingernails.
"I didn't ask Mr Knight to help me." Her voice was dull, with a chill.
The man answered coldly, "Did I flatter myself?"
Samantha looked up at him, who was covered with a layer of silver light under the bright moonlight.
She used to be obsessed with his face.
But how much she loved him before, how much she hated now.
The thought of abortion and fire made her want to dig out his heart.
She wanted to see if his heart was red.
Otherwise, how could he be so heartless?
