Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 50

Kisa's body was already sore, and the way he threw it on the floor hurt her even more. She grimaced.

Gilbert glanced at her and said, "Go and take a shower. You stink of smoke and alcohol." It annoyed him that she still smelled of Anthony's perfume.

Kisa was bemused at the sound of it. "I haven't been in the room as long as you have, have I?"

Gilbert sat languidly on the couch and looked at her with frosty eyes. "Two choices: either go take a shower or get the hell out of here."

She took a deep breath. 'Fine. I will leave. It is not like I want to see him.' Kisa struggled to get up and out the door but hesitated at the sight of the long, dark hallway. She figured that if she went out there alone, Anthony would catch her soon enough. His only reason for catching her was to provoke Gilbert, who did not care if she lived or died, and she would probably lose her life. 'Forget about it. What is the point of getting angry with Gilbert? Better safe than sorry. He has always been so mean to me anyway, so I could just get used to it.' It made her feel better to think that way.

She pursed her lips and turned around to go back to the room. When she did, Gilbert chuckled and puffed out rings of cigarette smoke with his handsome face full of sarcasm.

Kisa tried to ignore him and silently made her way to the bathroom. She rinsed hot water over her body to relieve the pain. After doing that for a long while, she then went to the mirror to check the injury on her waist. She saw that a large patch of her slender waist had turned purple, and it hurt when she pressed it gently. She let out a sigh, pitying herself for being an innocent victim and wondering how long the bruise would take to heal.

Just then, the door to the bathroom was abruptly opened from the outside. She shrieked in shock and quickly covered herself, then glared at the doorway in shame and anger. "What are you doing?"
