Lock You In My Heart Chapter 22

Chapter 22 Wish She Could Die

Westley prided himself over his unparalleled self-control. Even when he was being set up by someone, he was good at resisting giving himself away. But for the first time, his self control began to wither, and it was because of Gabrielle’s flirtations.

“Gabrielle, wake up!” Westley put her down and pushed her to the door. As a result, Gabrielle bumped into the door and her whole back was in pain. She slowly opened her eyes and confusedly looked into Westley’s gloomy black eyes.

“Ouch, it hurts…”

“Yes, it should hurt. Good that you can feel it. Look at me carefully.” 8

Gabrielle tried but could not see Westley’s face clearly. She was finding it difficult to focus. All she knew was she had to get closer to him. Her mind said ‘no,’ but her body wanted to embrace him. Her hands rose up to reach for his neck.

“What are you doing, Gabrielle?” Blue veins popped out on Westley’s forehead.

He simply could not endure it anymore. 3

Usually Gabrielle was nervous and anxious

around Westley, but driven by her body’s desires, she felt confident even as she was ashamed inside. She leaned closer and closer to him.

Gabrielle had completely given in to her instincts… This was what her parents wanted her to do.

“Gabrielle, open your eyes and see who I am! “Westley could see that she was beyond her wits todayExclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Gabrielle didn’t care for his orders. She leaned further in and pressed her lips to his. He was talking too much, and this was the only way she wanted to shut him up. 2

One thing led to another and Westley did not realize either that the two of them had moved from the door to the bed… It seemed like both of them had suppressed desires. Gabrielle’s touch turned him into a beast. He wanted to hold her with all his strength and touch her all over… 5

Gabrielle woke up with pain spread in her entire body. It was dark outside, she couldn’t tell whether it was night or dawn.

There was so much pain in her arms and legs that she couldn’t move at all.

She thought back to what had happened hours ago, and a wish to die came upon her,

She knew she had given in to Westley willingly. But now that thought made her feel disgusted with herself.

Gabrielle turned the bedside lamp on and found that Westley wasn’t next to her.

He must hate her even more now. The sex had been aggressive. Surely, Westley had not been kind to her even in that. She wondered if he wanted to kill Tobias and Wendy for the ridiculous things they had made her do. 2

Gabrielle could wait no longer. She got out of bed, put on her clothes and went downstairs. Each step was a pain.

She was relieved to find Tobias and Wendy sitting in the living room. She was expecting them in worse positions.

What was worrying her the most was that Westley would punish the two of them.

Seeing the two of them there, she was relieved

But thinking back to how Wendy forced Gabrielle to sleep with Westley made her shake with anger.

She was convinced that she did not deserve Bryce anymore. She was too ashamed to even live on.

“Gabrielle! When did you wake up?” asked Wendy with surprise, hurrying toward her.

“Why, Mom?” asked Gabrielle. She was standing higher up on the steps, looking at Wendy indifferently. Her eyes were sad and tired.

For the first time, she felt Wendy was no longer her mother who loved her, but instead a ruthless woman who would do anything to achieve her goal.

Gabrielle had never expected her own mother to force her to something like this…

“Gabrielle, do you blame me for what happened? I did it for your own good!” Wendy tried to comfort Gabrielle. 5

But her words made her pain worse.

She could see through her charades, her so called love. She was deeply hurt. Was Wendy’s “love” for her all these years just an act?

“For my own good? You knew how much Westley hated me and the entire Jones! How could you make us do this? I’m sure he wants to kill me!” Gabrielle roared. Tears flooded down her cheeks.

She was shook that she had lost her virginity to Westley, the devil! She wanted her first time to be with the man she loved… a

She cried desperately, not knowing whether it was because of the pain in her body, the grievance in her heart, or both.

This was the first time Wendy had seen Gabrielle cry like this. She hadn’t cried this badly in the twenty years that Wendy brought her up.

Wendy was taken aback. She recalled seeing Westley’s furious face when he had left. He had left the house without a single word.

Tobias and Wendy had been sitting with their breaths held. Wendy had thought if Gabrielle and Westley had sex, Gabrielle would literally become his wife, the second young hostess of the Morris. This was their plan to melt Westley’s heart so he would be kinder to the

Jones.

They knew something had gone wrong when they saw his face. They had just been waiting for Gabrielle to come down…

“Gabrielle, Gabrielle, I know I was wrong. I just wanted you and Westley to come closer. I was out of my mind! You can blame me, but… can you go back to Westley and beg him not to hurt us?”

Chapter 22 Wish She Could Die Wendy rushed up the steps and grabbed Gabrielle’s hand desperately.

Gabrielle saw her pleading eyes and felt she should help her. But she could never forgive her for what she had done.

“I don’t love Westley and he feels the same for me. Don’t you know why he married me? Nellie will be his wife when she returns. When she comes back, I will divorce him and give up my position. That is the plan from the very beginning. How can I face Westley after what you’ve made me do? You still want me to beg him for his mercy! He really will kill me! Would you like that?” Gabrielle shouted hysterically.

“Gabrielle, I know you’re wronged. I accept it… it is my fault. I’m so sorry…’

Wendy coaxed her in a soft voice, holding both her hands. 10

“What’s the point of apologizing?” asked Gabrielle hopelessly through her tears.

What had happened was beyond repair. Her mother’s apology couldn’t fix anything…

“Gabrielle, do you want me to kneel in front of you? If that will make you go and talk to Westley, I’m ready to do that!” Wendy knew Gabrielle’s weakness. After all, she had raised her. Gabrielle was easy to manipulate

emotionally…

Seeing that Wendy was really going to kneel, Gabrielle immediately grabbed her shoulders and made her stand up. “Mom, what are you doing? Don’t make this more difficult than it already is…”

“Will you talk to Westley?” There was a trace of expectation in Wendy’s eyes.

Gabrielle closed her eyes. A final tear glided down her cheek. She took a deep breath and nodded with a heavy heart.
