CHAPTER FIFTY SEVEN

GABRIELLE

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I stared at Derek blankly as he led us towards the door, different thoughts were running through my mind, each leaving me even more confused than the last.

 

Here was Derek who has only ever loved me, Lucian on the other hand had caused me much pain and there was no guarantee that he would change, that he would get to love me in a normal way. 

It should have been very easy to make a decision, if I walked out this door with Derek, then I probably would never see Lucian ever again, I wouldn't have to live in the constant fear that he would suddenly snap and hurt me.  Despite knowing all these, my chest still felt too stuffy, my stomach was cramped with unease.
