Chapter-9-"Horrible Day"

This image is kind of what I thought Gabriel andBella would look like. Not an exact representation. Hope you guys like it.Also, please share the cast ideas for Gab and Bells here.

Gabriel Hernandez's POV

My Little Dove is planning to escape. I knew the minute she excused herself to her room that her plan is in motion. I don't want to stop her. I want to see what she does, what she will choose. If she chooses to leave, I want to see the shock on her face when I catch her. Her friend, Julia has drugged my security or so she thought. They are acting unconscious on my orders.

Julia is only alive and breathing because she is Bella's friend.

As she leaves with Ryan, I don't dare look back when I felt her eyes on me. I know I couldn't let her go. I was trying hard to contain my anger and to keep myself in check. She is on her room right now. Simon is giving me regular updates.

She was looking so beautiful tonight. All the eyes are on her. Of course they are! She is looking like a fucking Angel in that white flowly dress with her hand hooked to the Devil beside her! I had to give her that hickey to contain my possessive side. They know now! They know that she is MINE! SHE FUCKING BELONGS TO ME!

Going into the surveillance room, I see Simon and Lance with three other men working there. The cameras are installed at every corner of the house. It was necessary to catch the spies being planted in my team. I see her and friend sneaking out of their room. We cleared the security in their path.

"Her friend contacted one of the local gang members." Simon informs. He has been keeping an eye on her. Finding everything he can about her.

"How does she know them?" A normal girl wouldn't have such connections or even have a gun for that matter. She recognized me, but I thought it's just many people know me. We did have our suspicions, but this is big.

"She contacted them through instagram. It seems she knew them beforehand. She mentioned her brother's name. Again... No last name." He adds.

Secrets. Secrets. Secrets!!! I am so fucking done with them! Tonight! I need answers tonight!!!

"David Devina has called." Kylan says coming into the room.

"Isn't he the one that's supposed to be your father-in-law?" Simon asks. Our father arranged our marriage when I was ten years old. His daughter died in a car accident when I was twenty, so the deal was cancelled. He had only one daughter and he owns the port through which we send our drug shipments. It was a great deal. I was never interested in his daughter anyway.

"He said he needs help in finding a woman." Kylan continues.

"A woman?" He never cared for anyone except for himself. So, if he wants help finding a woman she is much needed to him.

"Who?" My eyes are on the monitor. They are at the East wall as we lured them there. We made them think there is less security there. From the outside, a car is parked with three men in it. One of them came out and threw a ladder. I nearly laugh at their silly plan. They are desperate. That much is clear. Julia is setting up the ladder. My Little Dove is looking at the mansion like she doesn't want to leave.

Come back to me!

When I get no response from Kylan for my question, I look at him showing something on his mobile to Simon who looks shocked for a minute second and chuckles.

"Fucking perfect twist!" He looks up at me. Frown takes over my face.

"What is that? Who is it?" Kylan comes to me to show the image of the woman that needed to be searched. My eyes go to the monitor briefly and find my beautiful girl arguing with her friend instead of climbing that ladder quickly like a little part of me thought she would. Once Kylan reaches me I grudgingly look away from the screen. He hands me the mobile. He and Simon share a look.

Once I look at the image of the woman, I nearly gasp. It's not very frequent that I get surprised. I expect the worst of people, so when they betray me it doesn't surprise. I don't remember the last time I was surprised.

WHAT. THE. FUCK?!!!

"She is a Devina then." I confirm. We have her last name. Not just that. We have more on her. But a lot of questions still remain!

"Never in my life did I see more drama! Not even when we had to kill your father." Simon laughs. I chuckle. Lance clears his throat and we all look at the screen. He turned on the audio to hear what they are talking about. My Little Dove decided to come back for just one more day! Hmm! You choose me, chica? You choose the Devil? No one ever chose me! Another Surprise! Her loyal friend follows her back.

"It's just starting to get interesting." I say and everyone in the room nod. My eyes meet Kylan's. "You know what to do." My head tips to the monitor that shows the three guys outside of the wall who catch the ladder that Julia threw back. He nods.

Most of my birthdays go by in a drunken haze. But this? Oh, I will remember it till the end of the time!

My beautiful Little Dove, My chica, My Angel and My FUCKING QUEEN chose me!

Bella Devina's POV

I wake up to the sound of birds chirping and I feel so pleasant. A smile graces my face and I feel something near my feet. Someone is kissing it. My eyes flutter open and I find the Devil licking my feet looking right at me. The smile drops and I throw him a glare.

Not so early in the morning! Can I just sleep?!

"Good morning, my Chica." He greets and I groan falling back on the pillow. I realize that I am back in his room. Last night when we came back, I went straight into Julia's room to sleep. "Tonight you get your ass here to sleep or I will fuck you in front of your friend." He blackmails. I gasp.

"You crude... You... Urgh!" I can't even form complete words. I just woke up to this gorgeous man licking my feet that's doing all kinds of things to me. For once I just want to enjoy. I just want to enjoy the presence of this man. I want to let myself go. We will try to escape tonight anyway.

Would it be so wrong to kiss him for a day? To let him touch me like I want him to? To be myself and be attracted to a man like him? No one would know!

"Why are you kissing my feet?" I ask the dumbest question possible. He smiles that side smile of his. I plop myself on my elbows and meet his steel eyes. Damn! This man takes my breathe away! I bite my lip. He holds my legs and pulls me suddenly to him that my legs are straddling him. I squeal. A laugh escapes me. It feels so light. Let yourself go, Bella! It's ok!

"Because you are not ready for me to lick your pussy." He whispers against my lips. His breath on is making me crazy. I want to kiss him. He said I can do anything I want. So I do. My lips meet his and he let me take over. I throw my hands around his neck and kiss him hard sucking on his bottom lip. My mind goes to the time I bit his lip for kissing me. Was that less than two days ago?

He moves his lips with mine. The fact that he got my bite marks on his hand tattooed turned me on like nothing else. He kisses me back hard again and we are all mouth, tongue and hands. His hand goes in my shirt from behind and the feel of his palm against my skin is driving me crazy.

I need more! I want more!

I start moving on him. I don't even realize I am doing that. I feel something hard near my core and I grind on it knowing full well what it is. I might be locked in a home, but I was locked in with an internet. I know! It is every introvert's dream! He groans as I start grinding faster and pulls back. His forehead touches mine. He looks at me and I see a speck of confusion that's replaces by a full smile.

"Don't start something you are not ready for, Little Dove." He warns and places me back on the bed as he stands up. He gives me his hand, the one that's tattooed. As my eyes fall on it, my fingers trace the tattoo.

"Did it hurt?" I ask.

"No." His response is short. "Come, I have a surprise for you, you Mysterious woman!" He calls and I take his hand getting off the bed.

Once I am done brushing my teeth with him watching me like yesterday, although today I don't glare at him, I make myself comfortable, he takes my hand leading me downstairs. His eyes poke through my head. I see that all the decorations are being taken down from yesterday's party.

"This way." He takes me down the left side of the hallway of the ground floor. I am wearing the soft cute plushie flip flops that were there in his room. I am in my white night top and pant. Maybe I should have changed? Mom says it's not ladylike to roam around the house like this! Fuck it! Who cares?!!! "What are you smiling about?" He asks. I then realize I am. Ah! Freedom feels good! I shrug.

We reach something that looks like an office. It's large too, just like his room. There is a large table with a chair behind it that almost looks like a throne. There is a fireplace, here too that has some logs that are lit. It is Christmas in New York and it is cold. He take me right to his throne and sits down placing me in his lap. Adjusting me in his lap like I am some doll and making himself comfortable.

"What's your full name, My Princess?" He asks. I can get used to his nicknames. I need to dodge the question.

"You give me so many names. What would you do with my full name?" I bite my lip. He just stares.

"I am going to ask again. What's your full name?" He asks. I frown. Why is he bringing it up all of a sudden?

"Can we discuss this tomorrow?" I ask. I might leave by tomorrow and he doesn't have to know.

"What is your full name, Bella Devina?" He asks saying my last name. My eyes widen. My throat closes and shock takes over me. I gasp. He knows! He knows who I am!!!

"H-How?"

"Bring them in." He orders and I didn't realize there is a man at the other end of this vast room. He opens the tall doors and I see his men Kylan and Ryan with two other guys bring in three men that are bloodied and looks beaten. They made them kneel down as they are heaving and coughing to breathe.

"Who are they?" I realize my voice comes as a whisper more to myself.

"They are one of the secrets around you." He answers. I don't understand. "Now I am going to ask you one last time. What is your full name?" He asks as he looks right into my eyes. Anxiety spikes up in my chest. My mother told me never to tell my full name to anyone. I don't know why. She never told me. I was not supposed to ask she said. I shake my head.

He nods and puts his face in my neck kissing me there as he breathes in my scent like he is trying to calm down.

"You drive me fucking crazy, you know that?" He asks rhetorically and I just sit there not understanding what's going on. But something in me tells me I should have run away yesterday. There is no part of me that regrets though. But I didn't know I am soon going to.

"What's happening?" I ask finally.

"Bring her in." He orders with his face still in my neck. He licks my neck and pulls back. His hands are holding me in place like he doesn't want me to jump or get up. "You are mine, my Little Dove. There is no escaping me." He says like it like he is implying something. "I will break all the lies and secrets around you. You chose me last night." I gasp.

He knows!

"I will live up to it. I will protect you." The doors open again and I gasp at what I see.

"No! Julia!" I try to get up and go to her, but his hold is so strong around me. "Please!" I yell. She looks unharmed, but her hands are tied back and her eyes are not meeting mine. I look back at him. "Please." I don't know what I am pleading for but I don't want to see her hurt. She is made to kneel down. Although they don't push her down harshly like they do the others.

He holds my chin and makes me look at him. Tears pool my eyes as I stare at him. I am feeling terrified.

He knows that we tried to escape last night! I knew everything felt too easy! He made it so! But, who are those men?

"Do you know these men, Chica?" He asks nodding his head to the three men kneeling down. I look at them and frown shaking my head no. He nods thoughtfully. He pulls out a drawer and there is gun in it. "Don't worry. I would never ever hurt you." He presses on the never ever. But that does nothing to calm me. He pulls out the revolver. "Now." He starts. "Let's play a game of Truth or Dare." He smiles.

It sends chills down my spine. All I knew is I thought he is the villain in my story. It is going to change in the next few minutes. This is going to be one horrible day. My whole world is going to tip that I might actually fall and he might be the only person to catch me.

This Devil I going to break the palace of illusion built around and I don't know if I am ready for it!

A/N:

Hey my cute dumplings!

I think to be chosen by the people we love is something we all want deeply. It is a precious thing that makes us feel unexplainably happy. That is what it is for Gabriel who is waiting to be chosen by his woman.

The Protector becomes the Predator and the Predator becomes the Protector. The next chapter will reveal a whole lot of hell on Bella. Wait? Is that even her real name?
