CHAPTER 53- DANGEROUS

AUTHOR'S POV

AVERY WAS ABOUT TO SCREAM when Gabriel wrapped his hand around her mouth.

Her eyes were wide with shock and fear as she got a good look at him.

His hair was moist with sweat from delivering lumber and he looked weary. Moving in and out of Beverly Hills to deliver lumber was by means no small feet. It exhausted him greatly. He was second guessing if to return to the heinous Hospital, but he had no choice; he had promised Sydney he'd be back, and he wasn't the type to go back on his promise.

His eyes warned Avery not to scream as he slid his hand off her cigarette-wilted lips.

Avery stood firmly and glared at him.

" How dare you drag me that way?" She snarled.

Gabriel corked his brows sardonically. " Sorry, I forgot you had a twisted leg." He said with raw sarcasm.

Avery blushed in embarrassment. She'd forgotten she was pretending to be wounded. Thank God no one saw her.

" Can you get straight to the point?" Avery said smugly.
