Chapter 88

"Stop, Gabriel..," she pushed at his chest, their proximity was making her claustrophobic.

He held her shoulders back, "Shh... listen to me… Violet I'm very serious about you. I did not come upon this decision overnight," he paused, "I've been thinking a lot and had come to the conclusion that you are the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with," he said this with a soft look on his face, and somehow in the course of their conversation, his hand had crept up to her cheek.

She was hypnotized, he had that look in his eyes that was promising her all the things he was saying and more. How could a dominating person like him say such romantic words to her? It made her feel weak in the knees, so she had no say when Gabriel hugged her.

"I will give you time to gather your thoughts, I hope it will be positive," he said softly while hugging her, "Don't make me wait."
