CHAPTER TWENTY SIX
GABRIELLE

My fingers were gripping too tightly on my dress. I stepped inside the house where I knew the devil was waiting.
The sound of his voice made my footsteps falter, perhaps I might have had the opportunity to run back if Fred was not solidly behind me. I guess he was safely guiding me to his master who had ordered my presence.
My eyes fell upon Lucian the moment I stepped inside the overly large living room. He was dressed in a black business suit, his hair was brushed neatly backward.
His commanding presence oozed dominance from where he stood, merely a few feet away from me.
The power of his gaze made my stomach coil with tension, my heart was pounding heavier and heavier, I thought I would pass out.
His eyes lingered on my face and slowly trailed down my flowery dress and flat sandals before returning to my face.
