CHAPTER ELEVEN
GABRIELLE THORNE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I never wanted the journey to end, I knew what awaited me the moment I would be alone with him.
In his house.
My eyes already stung from so many silent sobs, my heart was pierced with so much despair and helplessness that I felt it would overflow out of me.
How did my life turn out like this?
The slight pressure of the golden band around my finger provided a reminder that all of these were real.
It wasn't one of those nightmares.
I was trapped with the monster, and there was no escape!
Even now, I could feel that brutally possessive gaze on me, it made me wish I could disappear far away, probably forever.
