Lock You In My Heart



Holly's words made Gabrielle smile. Her smile was soft yet icy, as if she were staring at a clown.

"I've always thought you were a very smart woman, Holly. But I didn't expect you to be so stupid." Gabrielle rolled her eyes. Her every word hurt Holly like a sharp knife.

Holly had never felt so humiliated before. What Gabrielle said was too harsh. Holly was used to praises and flattery

and it was the first time someone had treated her like this.

"Who do you think you are to talk to me like that, Gabrielle? How dare you call me stupid!?" Holly stood up, her eyes glaring.

In contrast to her anger, Gabrielle, was cool as a cucumber. She merely stared at Holly indifferently.

"You're the one embarrassing yourself. Do you honestly believe I'd get myself in trouble just for someone like you? Besides, what reason do I have to kill you? We're barely friends nor enemies. Murder is such a heavy accusation. You should watch what you say." Gabrielle flashed a mocking smile. Holly thought she was complacent.

"You married Westley, Gabrielle. That makes you my enemy." Holly's mood had become so sour. The only thing she wanted right now was for this woman to leave in front of her.

"Isn't that right? Since I'm the winner, why would I waste time hating you? I should be savoring my victory and be happy like every winner is. I'm sure seeing me and Westley being so in love is a far worse punishment for you. I don't even need to get my hands dirty. Jealousy will be a slow death, ripping your heart out inside and [| couldn't care any less." Gabrielle was smug. :

Holly clenched her fists. What Gabrielle said was too much that Holly wanted to rip her face apart.

"You get out right now!" Holly shouted angrily.

It would be Gabrielle's pleasure. She didn't intend to watch Holly eat. Bringing her food was just an excuse to rile

her up. She didn't care whether Holly wanted to eat or mot, even if she starved to death, it wasn't any of her

business. - 00

"Fine, fine. I'll leave now before you blow a fuse. Westley is waiting for me outside. I don't want him to catch a cold." Gabrielle sighed. I

“Are you saying that Westley is outside right now?" Holly couldn't believe it.

"That's right. Surely you didn't think I came here all alone? After all, it's my first time coming here. He was so worried about me getting lost that he took the time to accompany me here. He just decided to wait outside because he doesn't want to see you." She stressed the last few words.

"Bullshit! Westley couldn't possibly have said that. You're definitely lying." Holly stood up excitedly. She yanked the

needle from her hand and headed for the door.

"Are you sure you want Westley to see you like that? You'd probably frighten him away." Gabrielle chuckled. "What do you know, Gabrielle? Leave me alone. I'm going to see Westley..."

"Why are you so stubborn, Holly? If you insist on meeting him right now, he'll only hate you more." Gabrielle just folded her arms, letting her words work for her.

As she expected, Holly came to a halt and turned to face her. "What do you mean by that, Gabrielle?"

"For someone who says she knows Westley so well, you're awfully being silly. You know how popular Westley 1s with girls, and you know how he hates it when they chase after him. What you're doing is the exact thing he detests the most. Tell me, Holly, why did you push Nellie onto him after Helena died? Why not yourself?" Gabrielle slowly emphasized every word. "If Westley ever had an ounce of affection for you, he never would've fallen for me." Every word had felt like a nail stabbing in Holly's heart. For a moment, she was almost out of breath. Everything Gabrielle said was true. She knew better than anyone else how charming Westley was. All the women

who would come across him would fall for him and wished to become his bride.

In addition to being handsome, he was the owner of the Motris Group. Marrying him 'was marrying wealth. Being his | wife entailed being in charge of both money and power.

But she also knew how cold Westley was. Some even described him as the 'devil'. Thousands of women loved him, but only a few had the courage to express their feelings.

He never associated with any of them. Holly only became friends with him because of Helena.

She was Helena's cousin, giving her the privilege to enter Westley's circle of friends.

Holly had thought she was so special, but it was all a farce.

So when Helena died, she became nothing more but a stranger to the manshe loved.

Gabrielle was right. If Westley had feelings for her in the slightest, Nellie wouldn't have been Westley's first choice

back then.

Even if she knew that, she couldn't bear to hear it from Gabrielle.

"I believe you understand what ['m saying, Holly. No matter how much you love Westley, he can't return your

feelings. He is my husband now and we love each other very much. ] will protect what's mine with everything I have.

I will not allow anyone to touch or take Westley from me. If you keep doing this, I will not just sit around, so don't push me, Holly. I don't want to hurt you," Gabrielle warned.

Holly was tongue-tied and couldn't say a single word. She simply felt as if all of her thoughts had been exposed in the open.

She felt so defeated and lost all the strength to say thing back.

"Now that I've brought you the food, it's up to you if you'll eat 'it or not, but you better patch the back of your hand

since it's still bleeding. I'll be taking my leave." After saying that, Gabrielle opened the door.

Holly stood there for a while, shaking with resentment. Like a lunatic, she snatched up the fruit knife on the table and dashed over to Gabrielle. "Go to hell, Gabrielle!"noveldrama

With sharp senses, Gabrielle fortunately, reacted quickly and whirled around to avoid Holly's attack. She grabbed Holly's hands and moved away from the knife's sharp end. Otherwise, she would have been stabbed.

"What in the world are you doing, Holly? Are you crazy?!" Gabrielle pushed her against the wall with all her might.
