Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 525 Blood All Over Victor’s Face

It had rained for three consecutive days, but at dusk, the downpour finally calmed down a bit and then completely stopped. Westley and Gabrielle decided to go back to the villa tonight.

Westley went to check out while Gabrielle made her way to the ladies’ room down the hall to wash her hands.

As soon as she walked out, somebody grabbed her and pulled her into a dark, unseen corner. She did not recognize the person right away. All she saw was a figure clad in all black. The smell of wet rust made her head swim, and she figured out moments later that whoever was in front of her was bleeding.

Gabrielle felt her heart start to race. When she looked at the person who grabbed her, she saw Victor’s bloodied face. Her stomach flipped in horror.

“Mr… Mr. Sanderson? What happened to you?”

“Please help me, Miss Jones. Someone is hunting me,” Victor grunted.

Someone was hunting him?

It seemed to be true, and it would have frightened Gabrielle out of her wits had she not stayed in the forest for a period of time. That ordeal taught her how to be less afraid in these kinds of situations.

“Who’s hunting you? Where are your bodyguards?” Gabrielle asked curiously. “Bad guys,” Victor replied, ignoring the second question. “I’ll call the police for you, and then I’ll take you to the hospital. I…”

“No! They’re out there! You have to hide me! They’re coming!” Victor refused in a fit of panic.

“Then…”

The sound of hurried footsteps interrupted Gabrielle. Victor was right. The people who wanted to kill him were right on his heels.

“Let’s go to the ladies’ room.” Without waiting for Victor’s response, Gabrielle dragged him to the ladies’ room and shut the door. She shoved him into one of the cubicles and told him to stand on the toilet bowl and then crouch so that his feet could not be seen from the outside.

Gabrielle stood there and pressed her ear against the cubicle door. She had never huddled with a man in a public restroom cubicle before, and if Westley found out about it, he would be furious.
