Gabriel's POV:

I was sitting on the cold hard ground while my head was leaning back on the wall. Every part of my body was sore and aching. They had been coming to beat me since they took my Bella from me.

I felt so helpless when I think that I couldn't protect her. They had refused to tell me if she was alive or not. I stopped responding to their questions. I'd only asked them about Bella. My silence had only infuriated them which resulted in them beating me senseless and leaving me on the ground passed out.

My padre had trained me for fifteen years of my life. He taught me how to fight back and protect myself. If I was alone I would've snapped everyone's neck in a few seconds. But I didn't want to scare Bella, I didn't want her to look at me with scared eyes like I was one of them. The physical pain wasn't actually that bad but heartache was worse.

When she was with me I wanted to leave this place but now I want to burn down this place and kill every single man.

The terror in their eyes feeds the beast of rage inside me. I was waiting for them to make a mistake thinking that I am weak then I will make a move to end their lives.

I heard the footsteps outside the room and smiled evilly. I had broken the nose of two men their boss sends down for answers. Now, he had probably sent more to get them knocked out.

I was lost in my own thoughts when the door opened and someone entered. The small bulb in the room switched on brightening the place with light.

My eyes started to squirm at the sudden brightness. I blinked my eyes to get rid of the blurry vision and opened my eyes.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Bella standing before me in the black trousers and red shirt which looked loose on her.

Her eyes stared at me, taking my injuries in. Then her beautiful eyes got filled with tears, she bit her trembling bottom lip to prevent herself from crying.

She walked to me and kneeled down. She cupped my face in her soft warm palms.

"What have they done with your face, Gabriel?" She asked gently.

"Is it that bad?" I asked her, kissing her palm.

A few tears rolled down from her face, she didn't wipe them off so I did.

She got up and ran towards the door, she talked to someone in a hushed voice. I frowned when she waited at the door for a few minutes anxiously glancing at me. Someone handed her a first aid kit, a towel and a bottle of alcohol.

She closed the door and came back to me. She sat down on the ground and cleaned my face with a wet towel. Then she opened the kit and pulled out a cotton ball, she soaked it into alcohol and looked at my face contemplating where to start.

"It's useless to clean these wounds," I said.

"No, it's not. Let me clean them, Gabriel," she said dabbing the alcohol on my wounds.

She cleaned all the wounds then applied some cream on it.

I grasped her wrists and said, "Just stop and tell me they didn't hurt you?"

"They didn't hurt me, I am okay. I've befriended with one of the men, his name is Nate. In fact, he brought me here and got this first aid kit for you," she said.

"Don't trust anyone, Bella. We don't know what his intentions are behind all this," I said caressing her cheek with my knuckles.

To my utter surprise, she crawled onto my lap and sat on it in a straddling position. Then she wrapped her arms around my neck, stroking back of my head with her fingers.

"I don't trust him completely yet, but he is different," I said.

"I want you to run away from here if you get the chance. Do you hear me, Bella?" I said grasping her waist.

She gazed into my eyes and pressed her head on mine.

"I won't leave you behind, Gabriel," she mumbled.

"Why would you do that? They wouldn't even look for you once you escape because they're my enemies. They're using you to just get me," I told her.

She hugged me closer which made our chests press together. She sat exactly where I wanted her to sit, but not today.

"I didn't know you were so dense because you pretend to be pretty smart," she mumbled.

It was hard for me to concentrate on her words and keeping my freaking hormones from jumping up in joy at our position.

"W...what?" I asked.

"I can't leave without you, Gabriel. What's so hard in this to understand?" She asked.

The tears started ran down from her eyes, she snuggled her face in my neck.

I could feel her distress and instantly knew something had happened to make her breakdown like this. I tightened my grasp on her waist in fear. Her body began to tremble as she cried. I rubbed her back to provide her some comfort.

"You are scaring me. Tell me, did anyone hurt you? I promise I will remove him from this planet myself," I said.

She sniffed and looked at me with tearful eyes.

"It's you...I can't look at your face without feeling pain—it's like someone is ripping my heart into pieces."

"Then don't look at me. Go back and wait for the chance to escape this place," I told her placing a kiss on her forehead.

"Gabriel," she whispered my name softly.

Her voice came out seductive. I glanced into her eyes and they held a strange emotion in them. She began to move her face closer to mine. I didn't know if I was imaging it or it was happening in reality.

Finally, her lips brushed with mine. She shuddered and an exhilarating sensation went through my whole body. I took a risk of glancing at her hoping to find her eyes shut tightly. She looked nervous, waiting for me to lead the kiss. But I wanted her to be confident and continue what she wanted to do.

"Just do what you feel is right," I whispered tucking the strand of her hair behind her ear.

She smiled and planted her lips on mine. Her lips moved with mine in sync then she took my lower lips between her teeth, nibbling on it. Her arms raked up to my shoulder and settled on my neck. She locked her arms around my neck while pulling my head closer.

Her simple action aroused me to the point where I wanted to never let her go ever.

Her sweet tongue entered my mouth, teasing me. I groaned when I couldn't keep a slow pace. Quickly after that, we were sucking each other's faces like starved animals.

Her shirt rose up and I couldn't help myself from feeling her smooth skin. I started to caress her flat tummy and she moaned.
​
I smirked hearing the delightful sound from her mouth.

Her lips felt like pure heaven in this hell. I knew I wasn't wrong when I thought I was falling in love with this girl. This girl deserved love and much more in this life.

For me, it was the most amazing and pleasurable kiss. I knew would be cherishing this moment my whole life.

She pulled away to take the breathe but kept her eyes closed. She had a gleeful grin playing on her lips.

"That was great," I murmured.

"Absolutely," She whispered.

I took that as an opportunity to stare at her. Her beautiful face was flush, her lips were swollen and red as a cherry. I felt lucky to find her so soon—my soulmate, my other half.

I couldn't help myself from stroking her cheek with my knuckles.

"I hope you know now how much I am in love with you, Bella," I said.

Her eyes opened and I saw the flare of desire in her magnificent eyes.

"Kiss me," she mumbled.

I didn't need to hear anything else. I wrapped my arm around her waist and pulled her closer. Then I captured her lips in a feverish kiss. Kissing her felt like the most exhilarating thing that I have ever done in this world.

I coaxed her to part her lips and entered my tongue into her mouth. She tasted like the most exotic and sweetest fruit that I couldn't stop tasting. I was exploring her mouth while she was pulling my shirt up. I helped her by getting rid of my shirt. Her hand caressed every inch of my chest with her fingertips. I groaned when her hands reached to my neck and she began to play with ends of my hair. She smiled in the kiss and I knew she teasing me. I bit her tongue gently and she pulled away in shock.

"Did you just bite my tongue?" She asked pretending to be upset.

"I did," I replied amused at her acting skills.

She leaned closer and lightly traced my lower lip with her tongue. I wasn't expecting that so it left me surprised.

"Do it again and you will not be able to feel it anywhere else," she said.

"Fûçk."

I knew what she meant.

The knock at the door startled us and I pulled her close to me.

"Relax, it's just Nate. He has probably brought some food for you," she said.

"I'm not going to eat their food," I said clenching my fist.

She pulled away and glared at me.

"I know you don't want to eat their food, I feel exactly the same. But you've to put your ego aside and eat it to regain some strength."

"I hate this but you are right."

She got up and went to the door then came back with some sandwiches and water.

"Now eat it. Nate made these sandwiches, they are really nice. I ate them at breakfast," she said encouraging me.

The care she was showing warmed my heart. It was the first time that she was letting me see the real side of her. The side which had the freedom to show her real emotions. I knew she was showing affection and love without feeling scared of what her father would do if he finds out. I knew she felt safe and free in my presence despite the circumstances we were in.

"Okay, boss," I said showing her my hand in surrender.

I drank some water and halfheartedly took the bite of the sandwich.

"This is a very lavish house. We're in the basement. The Tristan aka boss has a history with you," she said.

"For crying out loud, Bella. In twenty years of my life, I came to the USA for the first time and coincidentally witnessed the murder. Then these bastãrds kidnapped me. I don't understand how can I have a history with that man?" I said pinching my nose in raging anger.

"I know but they think you are Gabe Emerson," She said.

"They don't think I am Gabe Emerson. But Emerson is my biological family surname. You know I am adopted so my documentation name is Gabriel Russell," I explained to her.

"Oh," She made the sound and her lips were in a cute little "O" shape.

We heard a knock and she looked at me in panic.

"I need to go. I'll try to find out more information or the way to get us out of here," She said.

I didn't want her to leave. I had no idea why I felt so scared to let her go.

"Please, try not to fight with them. It breaks my heart to see you in this state," she said cupping my face.

"Keep yourself safe for me. Don't mess with these people. Just keep yourself safe and I will be fine knowing that," I pleaded to her.

She kissed my cheek softly.

"What's taking so long?"

The voice made us freeze.
