Gabriella's POV
Kate being a lackey to Ian Valto, why didn't I ever think about that? But, why does it seemed forced?
She felt so uncomfortable sitting close to him or it is just me seeing that? I mean, who would get comfortable when that monster is close by.
From where I stood, his gaze met with mine and his expression brightened up like a child. Kate was staring at me, wondering who I was. I could tell she was secretly happy that Ian stood up to welcome me. My face was fully covered, so she doesn't know who I was.
"Welcome sweetheart!" He got close, wanting to hug me and I stepped back. I wasn't interested in having any physical contact with him. What if he plants a tracking device on me and maybe, pull the mask off my face?
"Still as nasty as ever! That's why I love you, Gabi" H
