Billionaire Defiant Wife Chapter 794
Advertisement
Diana and the master of the town had a nice conversation while Gabrielle was too nervous to breathe. She felt uneasy being watched by a group of people.
Gabrielle heard everything they said. Did she really look exactly like Tina?
It was a pity that Tina passed away, or Gabrielle could see how alike their looks were.
The astonishment and giggles of Mr. Black saw Gabrielle suddenly occur in her mind.
At first, Gabrielle thought Mr. Black was a fool. But thinking now, she thought she and Tina must look a lot like each other.
Mr. Black and Tina were a couple. No wonder he got so worked up seeing Gabrielle.
But what were the chances that she looked like another girl? Were they missing twins? That was drama.
Gabrielle kept thinking and thinking, wishing them to leave soon.
Since they were standing next to Gabrielle's bed, she lay there without moving and was too afraid to breathe loudly.
Suddenly
"Miss Peters, I know you're awake. Open your eyes."
Miss Peters? Was that her, Gabrielle thought.
Gabrielle closed her eyes and pretended not to hear it. She wouldn't answer.
At the moment, Gabrielle forgot her last name was Peters.
But someone wouldn't let Gabrielle get what she wished. They grabbed her arm and pulled her up. Her arm hurt so much since someone pinched her, so had that their fingernails stuck underneath the skin.
Since it has come to this, Gabrielle couldn't pretend anymore even if she tried. So she opened her eyes and looked at someone that grabbed her.
It was from Diana!
Gabrielle forced a smile, saying, "Hello, Diana. What are the odds of meeting you here?"
Diana said, "You heard everything, right?"
Gabrielle said, "What? No. What did you talk about?"
Diana rolled her eyes at Gabrielle. Neither Avery nor Gabrielle was easy to deal with. Avery wasn't afraid of confrontations while Gabrielle pleased you on the surface. But she might stab you in the back at any time. Diana wouldn't fall for her tricks.

Diana pointed her fingers at Gabrielle, yelling, "How dare you deny it!"She almost poked Gabrielle's nose tip.
The master of the town said, "Miss Summer, don't be rude to Miss Peters."
Diana let Gabrielle go unwillingly. She glared at Gabrielle to warn her not to speak freely.
Gabrielle made funny faces at Diana. She wasn't afraid of others. Since the master of town stopped Diana pointing fingers at her nose, Gabrielle knew he was on her side.
The master of the town said, "Untie Miss Peters!"
Diana got worried, saying, "Sir..."Her plan was to use Gabrielle as a decoy to lure Avery. How could he let go of Gabrielle?
Diana came up with another idea fast, saying, "Sir, I have an idea."
The master of the town said, "What is it?"
Diana said, "Since she looks so much like Tina, I'm wondering if she is qualified to inherit 1000-year-old witchcraft too."
Speaking of 1000-year-old witchcraft, the master of the town was sparkled, and his interest was aroused. He started looking at Gabrielle closely. As he looked at her, he nodded in satisfaction.
They looked so much alike. If he didn't know Tina was dead, he would think the woman in front of him was her.
Diana said, "How about I take her away? I'll take her to wolf mountain. Then we'll know if she is qualified."
The master murmured, "Wolf mountain..." He thought for a while and decided it made sense. He waved his hands, so guys who would untie Gabrielle stepped aside.
Gabrielle's feeling was complicated. It was so close to being released.
The master of the town said, "Okay. I'll give her to you. Take her to wolf mountain."
Before the master of town came, Gabrielle heard everything she said with her accomplices. Diana wanted to use her as a bait to harm Avery.

Gabrielle could not let Diana's scheme work.
Besides, Gabrielle was traumatized since Jackson tossed her out of the car on JO Mountain halfway on their way back. She couldn't stand any mountains.
Her gut told her Wolf Mountain wasn't a good place.
Gabrielle shook her head, "Sir, can I not go? I can learn 1000-year-old witchcraft without going to Wolf Mountain."
Gabrielle had to do something to stop Diana from taking her away. Nothing could be worse than going to Wolf Mountain. She heard something from Avery about Diana. Anyway, she was not good...
The master said firmly, "You have no choice!" Then he gave a look to his men.
His men immediately took Gabrielle down from the bed and gave her to Diana. She gloated, whispering to Gabrielle, "Do you know Wolf Mountain?"
Diana said, "I'll tell you. It's a place where wolves gather and hunt. When people come to Wolf Mountain, they will become their food. Good luck!"
Gabrielle trembled and wanted to get out of here. It was terrible.
The master of town trusted Diana and gave her Gabrielle. Then he left with both hands on the back.
Diana watched the master's back as he walked farther, relieved. She gloated and looked at Gabrielle,"You'd better pray Avery will come to save you. Or you'll become the snacks for a pack of wolves."
Then Diana said to her sidekick, "Call Avery. Tell her we have her sister, and she can come to Wolf Mountain to save her."
The sidekick took out the phone and dialed the number. It was put through, and they heard Avery's voice saying, "Hello?"
"Your Highness, we have your sister. If you want to save her, come to Wolf Mountain on your own. Remember, you have to come on your own. If Evan intervenes, we can't guarantee your sister's safety."
Avery said, "I want to hear Gabrielle's voice."
The sidekick put the phone on the speaker and handed it over to Gabrielle.
Gabrielle shook her head. She wouldn't talk. She didn't want Avery to come. If she really did, she might risk her own life, not saving Gabrielle's since Diana laid a trap for her.
The sidekick took out a knife from the pocket. He put the icy blade on Gabrielle's face, threatening, "If you don't talk, I'll write a circle with this on your face. It's a pity such a pretty face will be destroyed."
Gabrielle shut her mouth and wouldn't talk.
The man suddenly slid on her face. Gabrielle was in so much pain that she gasped. But she still wouldn't talk even if she had a knife wound on her face.
At the same time, Avery said, "You don't have Gabrielle, do you?"
"Avery..."Diana grabbed the phone and said, "If you don't trust me, I'll film a video for you. Then you'll know if I have Gabrielle."
Then Diana shot a video of Gabrielle and sent it over.
Gabrielle didn't expect that Diana would shoot a video. She hurried to say when Diana was about to hang up, "Avery, don't listen to her! Don't come over!"

Haven in a Dangerous World (Old)
Devin McMullen. Female. 18. Single dad. Dead mom. Good in fights and little else. No friends. Or, at least, that's what she's always been. Now, she's not sure exactly what she is. She's never been one for reading fiction, or anything for that matter, but this feels like something straight out of a fantasy. Her newly acquired instincts, however, scream dungeon core. Whatever that is. Unlike most dungeon cores, though, she's missing something very important. A dungeon. Stuck out in the open, above ground where she's definitely not supposed to be, with not a cave in sight, or any other land form besides miles and miles of ice and snow, Devin's not sure if she can survive. Update: Big caveate, though, just so you know. Started with this one idea and ran with it as far as I could. Characters and plot suffer from it, but I'm proud that I wrote as much as I did. I will rewrite this at some point and make it so it actually has plot. Check out my wordpress © [koallary] and [Haven in a Dangerous World], [2017].

Mistwalker Xyn and the Cult of Eldritch Evil
[Participant in the 2020 Royal Road Writathon Challenge] Having just graduated to adulthood, Xyn is salty about how his lackluster Awakening has resulted in his current derided status within his clan and tribe, particularly when compared to the successes of his litter-siblings. The revelation of the truth about his heritage sets in motion events leading to him traveling to human lands on a secret mission for his tribe. Cringeworthy moments and awkwardness will ensue as young Xyn (an anthropomorphic tiger-kin), raised in the sheltered life of a martial artist, navigates human society with a trusty sidekick or two picked up along the way and might just save his corner of the world while he's at it. Gore will be minimally present as needed to tell a fantasy martial arts tale. There won't be any sexual content, but mild/vague suggestive themes may occur occasionally due to the nature of Xyn's mission and his insecurities. Story should be teen appropriate. Thanks for reading! [Background for the cover art is courtesy GG-graphics via Pixabay.]
