Chapter 473: Ulterior Motive

Gabriel’s brows twitched in disbelief. Bianca whom he was trying to intimidate to get some information regarding Sandra’s whereabouts, instead left him surprised by her fangirling reaction.

Standing there astonished, Gabriel pursed his lips into a thin line and watched the lady sprint towards him.

"Can you give me an autograph? I am a huge fan of yours" she chirped like an awestruck fan.

The shine of her glittering eyes made Gabriel twitch his lips in awkwardness and the intimidating aura he tried carrying the entire time was now replaced by shock.

"A-Autograph?" he stuttered finding her reaction out of the world but the moment she bobbed her head like a child, he took a step back in threatening.

’This girl had seriously lost her mind. Who on earth reacts this way’

Bianca who had forgotten her purpose of sneaking out of the room, kept on fangirling the entire time, ignorant of the the fact that her words had stirred a mountain of shock in Gabriel’s heart.

Bianca was a professional surgeon but she was a huge of this rising model named Riel Scott. The day she had seen him on the cover paper of the reputed Magazine along with Ashley Brown, she was smitten by his beauty and charm.

She always wondered how can someone be this intimidating yet attractive at the same time. Though it was his side profile that captured his beauty, she couldn’t forget his charm.

With her eyes expectantly looking his way, Bianca then noticed his hesitation and the next moment she broke out of her trance realizing what she had been doing all the time.

"...."

As if someone had splashed her face with cold water Bianca’s face turned crimson red in embarrassment and she quickly covered her face with her palm.

"I am sorry... I didn’t mean to scare you" She apologized and quickly turned her back on him.

The silence drew between the two as no one spoke. It was after an entire minute, that Bianca remembered something and snapped around to face Gabriel.

"Can you give me back my ID? I need to leave"

Now that she was back to being her original self, Bianca switched back to being alerted. Now that she was doing fine, she had to leave this place.

After getting kidnapped by those men, she couldn’t stay relaxed.

’What if they come after me once again’ The thought of getting killed by some anonymous people without knowing the reason sent a shiver down her spine.

Bianca thought it was better for her to leave this house and file a complaint about her abduction and seek protection and for that, she had to reach the hospital.

Gabriel who had been silent the entire time cocked his brow at her change of aura.

Waiting for a moment he then asked," You think leaving this place will keep you safe"

Gabriel’s words caught Bianca off guard but she quickly composed herself. She had already guessed that Riel was aware of what had happened to her. If not he wouldn’t have been this vocal with her.

He didn’t beat around the bush and kept his words clear for her to understand. It was kind of overwhelming but at the same time, she couldn’t risk his life.

She had no clue why those men had abducted her but she was damn sure that they were going to kill her and were waiting for their boss’s order. It was her quick-wittedness that made her sneak from their grasp or else she would have been dead meat by now and no one would’ve known about her disappearance.

Maintaining her cold face, Bianca stretched her hand ahead and stated," I can’t keep hiding forever. Since you know what happened to me I think I should leave this place without risking anyone’s life and find a refugee from the cops. I am sure they would help me-"

"I can help you" Gabriel cut in and watched her purse her lips.

"You’ll h-help me but why?" she asked. Confusion taking over her calmness.

Bianca was thankful for his generous act, but she couldn’t risk his life any further. She knew he was a well-known figure and just because he wanted to extend a helping hand she couldn’t just accept it.

As her eyes keenly observed his face, she couldn’t find any suspicion behind his help. He remained faithful throughout the situation and that made Bianca wonder why was he even helping her.

"I know it’s hard for you to trust me, but let me tell you. I am the only one who can help you right now. Not even cops would be able to do anything"

The confidence in Riel’s tone made Bianca fume. The way he was doubting the authorities made her wonder if he was superior to the laws itself. But how?

This man had just started his career and was already basking with pride and power.

’Is he hiding something from everyone’ she doubted.

"But why do you want to help me? Aren’t you worried that the people who abducted me might come after you? Aren’t you scared that in return for your kindness, you’ll lose your life" she asked.

Bianca might not know the intentions behind his kindness, but one thing did make her doubt and that was, that Riel knew something about those people and she was his way to them.

Giving him an eye to eye contact, Bianca started racking her brain. She had already trusted him so far and accepting his helping hand might not be as threatening as it seemed to be.

What if he is right and those men might still be looking for her...again

"No, no I just can’t die so soon. I have so much to achieve’ she pondered to herself and agreed to his help.

"I think you should take your-"

"I agree" she blurted without letting him finish his words.

Gabriel’s face contorted in relief. He thought Bianca would still refuse to accept his help, but he was glad that she did.

For him, it was a win-win situation. With Bianca being with him, he would be able to track Sandra and the person who helped her survive the escape, whereas, for Bianca, she would find a refugee at his place without getting threatened for her safety anymore.

"I will ask someone to bring your belongings here" with an affirmative tone, Gabriel then walked out of the room without waiting for her response.

While Bianca could only keep looking at the closed door from where Riel just left.

"You can’t be this generous to a stranger unless you have an ulterior motive"
