A Fair Chance

Anya flexed her finger as she went around Gabriel who was in disbelief rather than in pain. "Gabriel Sallow, I have imagined this day for years." Imagined catching the man who tried to kill Alvin but she didn't have any evidence or proof or a clue to find him.

She grabbed his collar and pulled him up. His face was bruised and he was breathing heavily. She also couldn't believe he was the same person who had given her nightmares, which made her frightened to step out of the house, afraid of finding Alvin dead.

It had never come to her mind the ones closest to the Matthews family could do that. Only if she knew how the Matthews family treated Alvin. 

Would she have tried to look into their family to find Gabriel?

She didn't have an answer for that. 

Anya snickered when Gabriel's fierce glared at her. Egoistic men don't learn easily. Was he thinking she would cower in fear? Hard luck.
