Chapter 489: Something fishy

Bianca’s heart skipped a beat. His words managed to hit the right spot as she remained still for a moment.

The taint of her blushed cheeks was yet to dissipate but his assurance-filled words enhanced that glow of the redness further.

With her eyes staring at him in awe, her heartbeat increased rapidly.

"All you have to do is follow my orders" The beautiful pink bubble formed above her head popped hearing his following words.

Her lips parted in disbelief, before repeating his words "Orders?" blinking her eyes innocently she watched him give her a nod.

Bianca felt like digging a hole for herself and hiding there for some time. She had started to draw assumptions regarding his words forgetting the man was just using her for his purpose.

In return for her safety, he wanted to find that woman. And here she was building stupid thoughts in her mind.

Taking a moment, she cleared her thoughts and silently agreed with him.

After all, even she didn’t want to get killed at such a young age. What about her family, her career... she didn’t want to leave it just like that. Not when she had done nothing wrong.

Standing wordlessly, as the thought of her family crossed her mind, she remembered her father whom she failed to communicate with because she had got abducted

Bianca had the habit of calling her father every weekend. But now that she remembered more than a weak passed since she last talked with him.

Being the daughter of the General officer was a big deal as she hardly got time to be with him because of his work. But whenever they talked, he made sure all his time and attention was on her.

She was his only daughter and he cherished her dearly. But ever since she got abducted, she lost communication with everyone as her phone was snatched by those kidnappers.

Thinking about her father’s worried face, Bianca chewed her lips anxiously. She had to come up with an alibi to stop her father from doing something reckless and for that, she had to call him.

Gabriel had his eyes fixated on her, frowned when he noticed so many expressions switching on her face. At first, he thought maybe she was still doubting her decision but then she jumped down the chair and marched at him hastily.

"Can I borrow your phone?" she asked extending her hand, expectantly.

Gabriel was caught off guard by her sudden approach. It reminded him of the time she jumped at him the same way when he said who he was. The only difference was her eyes that stared at him hopefully unlike that time.

Unable to handle the closeness, Gabriel quickly took a step aside and watched her frown.

"Why do you need my phone?" he asked.

Gabriel couldn’t understand her urgency to have his phone. ’Is she trying to call someone behind his back’ he thought.

Just when that thought crossed his mind, his face turned stern while his eyes started at her doubtfully.

Bianca noticed the hostile look marred on his face, predicting his thoughts, and immediately jumped to her defense.

"Don’t worry. I won’t do anything that would land us in any kind of trouble" she assured with the most calming voice.

Gabriel’s brows twitched at her assuring words when he heard her again.

"I just want to call my dad. He must be worried since I failed to call him last weekend" Bianca added.

A deep line formed between his brows and he immediately declined. "No, you can’t call your father"

Bianca who was expecting a positive reply frowned much as deeper as him and asked," But why? He needs to know my whereabouts"

Gabriel realized that he had just raised his voice on her, soon regretted it. Composing his emotions he then tried to reason.

"No one should know about your whereabouts not even your father" he stated.

"But why?" Bianca’s voice cracked. Tears well in her eyes the moment he yelled at her declining her request.

Gabriel stood still when a tear rolled down her eyes but she immediately wiped it off, returning back to her original self.

Bianca didn’t want to show her weakness, but the moment he raised his voice at her, she couldn’t stop herself from tearing up.

No one had shouted at her not even her father. So it came as a surprise to her.

"It’s not like I was going to cause any trouble. I just need him to know that I am doing well without letting him know about you" she reasoned with a straight face.

When Gabriel didn’t say a word, she turned around and walked out of the room disheartened.

She thought Gabriel would understand her situation, but she was wrong.

THUD!

It Gabriel a moment to grasp her words and his head flung into the direction of his door.

His face contorted with a complicated expression as her hurtful face and trembling voice kept crossing his mind, suddenly leaving a heaviness in his heart.

While Gabriel stood still dealing with his emotions, whereas Bianca reached her room. Locking the door she sprinted towards the bed angrily.

"What does he think of himself, huh? Just because he is helping me doesn’t mean he would scold me" she flared wiping off the tears that kept streaming down her eyes.

Bianca was hurt. She thought Gabriel was considerate enough to understand her desperation, but that heartless man, he didn’t seem to know anything.

"Stupid! Idiot!" she cursed hiding her face into her crossed knees and cried silently.

That night she skipped her dinner and slept empty stomach.

[Knight Mansion]

The next morning, after having breakfast, Tristan decided to talk with Gavin in private, but to his surprise, Gavin was nowhere to be found. So he decided to ask his mother instead.

"He is gone again..." Grace who got the news about Gavin leaving the house without letting anyone know gasped in shock.

Assuming her reaction, Tristan realized even his mother had no clue where her younger son was, so he decided to call him this time.

"Never mind, I will call him instead," Tristan said dialing his number and was about to leave but Grace stopped him.

"Is anything wrong dear" Sensing the urgency in his tone Grace assumed that there was something fishy with the way Tristan was trying to find Gavin.
