THE GIRL I KNEW

64. THE INVISIBILITY GAME.

COMMENTS MAKE ME SMILE 🙃💛

GABRIELLA'S POV:

I couldn't believe that just happened. I couldn't believe I just watched the love of my entire life propose to my enemy.

Chloé? Of ALL people?

Fuck! What am I saying? I would still have been hurt if it was another girl.

But Chloé? Chloé Williamson.

Why am I being sad and walking on this lonely street anyway? I never wanted to marry the fucker. I never wanted to marry any fucker. I wasn't the family type.

But God, I was ready to be his girlfriend till the ends of the earth. I sound so stupid right now.

She's going to be his wife. His lawfully wedded wife. Ha! Andrew and Anna must be rejoicing! But recently, it seems they're against their union.

All I know is I am tired, my feet hurt, my heart is in pain, my eyes are red from crying for so long, I think I need to sleep and forget a bit about reality.

I searched the area with my eyes, it was fucking dark. I could barely see anything, plus cars barely passed this road. I don't know how long I have been walking, but I know I was no longer near the hotel that the awful proposal happened.

I wished it was me.

I heard some noises in the bushes and jolted out of fear as I held my shoes to my chest. "Who's there?" I said as I tried my best to muster up any ounce of bravery. I don't think this street is safe, it's so dark and lonely.

Fuckkkkk, why do I always shit myself?!

L.A wasn't so safe, I shouldn't be out here in the dark alone. Oh God! And I'm not even with my phone to call Andr—

I mean my dad or Jase for help. Shit!
Do I start walking back? What if someone tries to kidnap me?

Suddenly, out of nowhere, car passes my way with full speed. I immediately try to flag it down, but when it looked like the driver didn't hear me, the car slowed down and turned around.

My hero.

My very.....expensive hero, considering the car was a Porsche. Must be one of these influencers or a nepo baby, or a rich old man from the party. I just prayed they wouldn't kidnap me and use my boobs for voodoo to get richer.

I patiently waited for the person to come and when the person in question did, I almost fell to the floor.

Holy fuck.

"Gaby?" His beautiful eyes scrutinized my face and entire body. "I—I can't believe you're in front of me right now." He stared in amazement as he made his way towards me.

"DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH ME!" I screamed at the top of my lungs as the tears began pouring heavier than before.

"G—Gabriella? Don't you remember me?" He tried stepping closer but I only shifted back the more with hatred and disgust in my eyes.

"How can I forget you?" My voice said with a mortified tone. I felt like breaking into tiny pieces of glass. "I know what you did years ago."

"Ga—" He looked terrified of me all of a sudden. "Gaby I can explain..."

"SHUT THE FUCK UP DANIEL!"

I watched how the trees disappeared and how we entered the busy city again. The drive was so quiet yet occupied with my sniffling as I silently let out tears.
