Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 486

From the moment they fled, they knew it wouldn’t be easy. At the back of their minds, they were convinced that at some point, someone would find them.

So when Bain’s men started chasing after them, they weren’t exactly surprised. But the thing was, they caught up with them so quickly. As Bain’s men closed the gap, it became more and more frightening.

They did have the advantage over Westley and Gabrielle because they had off-road motorcycles. These weren’t ordinary bikes; they were built to withstand the harshest conditions in the mountain or rough terrains. It didn’t matter how many obstacles were in their way, the bikes rolled over them like it was no big deal.

As for Westley and Gabrielle, they were sitting in a small kayak that wasn’t made for speed. Even if they drifted along the water, it wouldn’t be as fast as the motorbikes. They couldn’t move faster no matter what they did.

When she looked behind them, she saw faint lights peeking through the woods. Bain’s men were getting closer and closer, so much so that she could hear the roar of their engines.

“Westley, they’re almost here. What are we going to do now?” Gabrielle was drowning in fear, but she tried her best to calm herself down. She didn’t want to show how scared she was because it might affect Westley. If Westley found out she was terrified, he might not be able to think straight.

Gabrielle tamped down her terror and panic to avoid further worrying Westley. She slowly breathed in and out to slow her pounding heart.

“Gabrielle, it’s not possible to go back to shore now. Our kayak can’t drift down as fast as their motorbikes, so I have to go into the water. If we can reach the waterfall, they won’t be able to catch up. There are high cliffs around it, so they cannot follow us.” Westley jumped into the water, drew out a long rope, and tied it to his waist and the kayak. He was moving with a purpose.

“Westley, it’s too dangerous. What if you get hit by stones?” Gabrielle kept on glancing around them. She was so worried about him, and she didn’t want him to get hurt.

If it weren’t for the men chasing them ruthlessly, she would have enjoyed the view as she watched the blanket of stars. But while she was cozy and secure, Westley was doing all the hard work.
