Taming the Bitch (COMPLETED) Wattys2018

Chapter XV - Hit and Run

"When are you ever gonna leave him alone?!" That was the first question she screams at her father's face the moment she marched in to his office with Vincent following her from behind.

Gabriel Davis just sips on his coffee as he continues looking out the window overlooking the busy city of New York.

"Why do you still meet with him?! Stop bothering yourself with that swine!" She screams with shaking hands that are both in a fist.

Vincent squints remembering how she addressed him in the same way.

A swine.

"There is nothing else he can do that could make me go crazier and that could ruin your name! It's all been done! So just leave him alone!" She continues before quickly wiping the tears that ran down her cheeks.

Vincent wanted so much to keep her in his arms, to take the anger and pain away... he wants to be there for her and he wants her to be just his.

Hearing the bitterness in her voice makes him mad, knowing that the bitterness is just as much as how she trusted that twat...how much he'd hurt her in ways he has yet to know.

"You're the one making things more complicated by entertaining him and feeding him with your wealth! You're the one who started all of this in the first place! You're the one who ruined my life! Not just him! So don't bother trying to keep him..." she was cut off when her father speaks finally not to her but to the man behind her.

"Take her away Vincent!" He shouts throwing the cup of coffee across the floor.

"The plane is waiting for you at the airport, take your fiancée away from this place! I'll see you at the wedding tomorrow!" He said not even looking at her. Her father's eyes were glued on Vincent's face.

"W-what...? W-wedding...?!" She murmurs.

"Take her away I said! You are to leave New York today for London for the ceremony of your wedding..."

All Gabrielle could do was shake her head as her eyes opened wide. Her father couldn't be serious?! She couldn't be married to this arse that fast!!?

"N-no..." she says with trembling limbs before she attempts to run off only to be stopped by her father's voice again.

"Adrian was here before Ryan..." he said making her stop on her tracks to slowly look at her father. Adrian has never spoken to her since the announcement of her engagement to Vincent. She could not contact him. She has no idea where they are now.

"Seems like everything is getting tougher and risker for them... especially for his mother..." he says making her shake even more.

"She's dying Gabrielle." He says in French not wanting Vincent to know about why his daughter couldn't say no to his orders.

"I don't mind... I can tell all the doctors to leave her be and not operate on her at all..." he continues in French making her knees buckle up and almost slump on the floor if Vincent weren't there to catch her by holding her shoulders tightly.

"Her life lies on your hands Gabrielle. You've always wanted to be a doctor to take care of your mom...I trust you'll do the same for your best friend's mother..." he continues in French before briefly raising an eyebrow at her and staring at Vincent's face, then down to his hands that are holding his daughter's shoulders.

"I hate you..." she cries softly in French.

"I hate you with all of me..." Vincent can feel her chest heaving up and down as she utters those words to her own father. He has no idea what Gabriel just said to his daughter that made her so weak like this.
