Gabriel was so immersed in his emotions and thoughts that he forgot to control his strength when he grabbed her wrist, which was starting to hurt. With the grip and the sinister look in his eyes, Serenity started to feel frightened and instinctively took a few steps back until she was trapped against the door.
The change in her expression somehow only made him angrier. He dragged her and threw her onto the bed.
Before Serenity could react, she heard him unbuckle his belt and her heart started to tremble violently as she looked at him in fear.
Gabriel then leaned over her and kissed her roughly, ignoring the look of horror she had on her face.
His tongue wantonly swept through her mouth as if he wanted to break the root of her tongue. It was so painful that Serenity was starting to go numb.
She was so frightened by his aggression that she wanted to shrink away. Struggling out of his grip, she started to say, “Don’t be like this-”
But Gabriel simply turned a deaf ear to her as he grabbed her ankle and pulled her down toward him. Then, he pinned her hands above her head as he loomed over her.
He was going out of control and she knew it. Afraid her resistance would only bring harm to the child, she relented.
Ever since she got pregnant, Gabriel had never touched her or any other woman. No matter how angry he was, he had never hurt her as he still cared about her health.
But tonight, he allowed his emotions to consume him.
After it was over, he got up and looked at her for a few seconds. When he saw how uncomfortable she looked, he turned around and went into the bathroom.
She pulled the blanket over her body and stared at the ceiling in a daze. The corners of her eyes were slightly red as stains of tears lined her cheeks.
The sound of running water came from the bathroom. After a while, he came out of the bathroom and walked to the bed before bending over to carry her to the bathroom.
Gabriel placed her in the bathtub and was about to bathe her when she shrank back and said, “Get out, I’ll do it myself.”
There was obvious resistance in her eyes and bruises on her body. Gabriel started to feel extremely regretful. He was about to say something but decided against it and simply left.
The moment she heard the bathroom door close, Serenity could no longer hold back her tears as she leaned back against the bathtub and cried her eyes out.
Just as Gabriel was about to step away from the bathroom door to get her pajamas, he heard faint sobs coming from behind him.
He stood outside the bathroom for a moment before going to the wardrobe.
Gabriel placed her pajamas on the sink and left for the guest room next door.
By the time he was done with his shower, it was already one o’clock in the morning. But the sound of her sobs seemed to have overtaken the tiredness he felt at the office.
He stood in front of the window in his bathrobe and lit a cigarette. As he looked at the night sky, mixed feelings stirred within him.
He had not gone home these days because he did not want to argue with her. Today, he lost control and even hurt her. When did he turn into such a person?
The last time he lost control was at the resort because she was in danger. What about this time?
The photo showed how affectionately John had looked at Serenity, so much so that Gabriel just wanted to destroy her. If Gabriel couldn’t have her heart, no one else could.
The photos of her and John just angered him.
How could his woman flirt with another man?
And her words tonight made him realize that he was never going to be the one in her heart..
