She looked at Vincent, her lips suddenly frozen by his affectionate stare, as the she became free from his grip, she quickly turned around and started walking away without a reply.
But Vincent was quicker, with his eyes suddenly enraged in playfulness, he followed after her and grabbed her to the the wall, he placed his hands at both side tried to stop her from running away again.
“Or have you started falling for me?” he asked his voiced hoarsed and full of charms as he stared straight into Isabella eyes.
