I couldn't think of any other way to help Maria with her current situation now, but to take her out of the country. That's merely the only possible option, maybe the last resort, she got now so Gabriel Levine will not be able to see her.
Even before coming here to her apartment, a huge part in me already perceived that this occurrence might happen. The time I discovered the connection between Maria and him, I am certain that the two will eventually meet one of these days. That it will just be a matter of time before Gabriel discovers her whereabouts. People like us, like Gabriel Levine, had all the means to acquire what we aimed to pursue. Given the fact that Nice was indeed a large city, nothing is impossible to wealthy and highly connected men like us. Gabriel will definitely do everything in his power and riches to find Maria. I saw it in his eyes how determined he was in locating her.
