Was he stimulated by something?
Then, she heard Gabriel’s deep and cold voice next to her ear. “I’ve said it before. If you behave yourself, 1’11 allow you to stay in Zephyr Group. If you have any ulterior motives, get out!”
“I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
His movements did not stop and only became rougher than before. He sneered as he said, “The bid for Haverford Corporation’s land was won by the Rivers family. Tell me why?”
He had slammed into her so hard that she had to lean against the wall to steady herself. As she tried to endure the pain, her nails scratched against the hard wall and blood started to seep out.
“I… I don’t know.” She moaned and frowned in pain.
He smiled coldly and cruelly said, “Benjamin Rivers is not usually that capable. Serenity Rivers, do you take me for a fool?”
His rudeness was a little unbearable for her so she simply grit her teeth and silently endure his abuse.
It was only when she felt a burning sensation in her body and Gabriel left her body that she thought it was over. She heaved a silent sigh of relief but before she could recover from her shock, he placed her on the sink and went back in.
Gabriel went at her from the bathroom to the living room, then to the bed – the man vented his frustrations almost like a madman. Every time he bumped into her, it was as if he wanted to tear her apart.
When she woke up the next day, she turned over and felt as if her body had been run over by a car. The pain caused her to suck in a cold breath.
Gabriel was nowhere to be seen in the room. He had probably left during the night.
She reached for her phone on the bedside table and called Frank to take leave for the day because she was not feeling well.
After such a long night, she was obviously exhausted. The moment she hung up the phone, she fell asleep again. When she next woke up, it was already two in the afternoon.
The dress she wore last night was already wrinkled from Gabriel’s abuse. She did not have any friends to confide in, so it was impossible for anyone to send her clothes over. She could only make do with it.
After leaving the hotel, she found a cafe to sit in for a while since it was still early before she got off work. She did not want Benjamin to notice her being home so early.
Gabriel had guessed right. She was the one who told Benjamin about Zephyr Group’s bid for Haverford Corporation’s land.
Although Benjamin did not treat her warmly, she was still the daughter of the Rivers family.
And she could only do so much.
Judging from his behavior last night, Gabriel was furious.
She wondered how long more she could stay in Zephyr or in this relationship with Gabriel.
If the latter ended, she wouldn’t mind it so much. But if she was no longer with Zephyr Group, how would Benjamin react once he found out?
She had always been treading on thin ice in the Rivers family. If Gabriel chased her out of Zephyr Group, she would lose her only value to Benjamin, and it would be difficult for her to move forward in the Rivers family in the future.
After some consideration, she decided to give Gabriel a call to check his mood.
The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up. She was delighted. “President Jones-”
But before she could continue, she was interrupted. “Miss Serenity, it’s me.”
She was slightly taken aback. The person who answered the call was not Gabriel but his voice sounded very familiar. It was Caleb.
As expected, Gabriel was still angry and didn’t even want to pick up her call.
She was thinking about how to ask Caleb if Gabriel had told her to leave Zephyr Group when Caleb said, “President Jones is in a meeting. If you have anything to say to him, I can help you pass the message. If it’s not convenient, you can call him after the meeting.”
Serenity heaved a sigh of relief when she heard him say that. At least it was because he was in a meeting and not that he was avoiding her..
