Gabriella..." Lance whispered her name. Gabriella stood up, dashed to him and hugged him."Daniel.." Gabriella cried on his shoulders. John walked in and began scrutinizing the basement to give them space. He found Lusha hiding behind a barrel and offered her his hand for help. She readily agreed. Hugging lengthily, Gabriella and Lance cried in each other's arms for a while before John interrupted them."We should go now." He said. Gabriella smiled at him and saluted."At ease..." John said and began walking to the door. Lance looked at Gabriella and caressed her cheek. Lusha grinned happily as she walked behind them."Why didn't you salute me too? I am the senior most here.""Do you want to brag about it?" Gabriella scoffed. As they reached the door, Pavel suddenly showed up and kicked John torso, sending him to the cold floor beneath Gabriella and Lance."Nice to meet you, Daniel and goodbye!" Pavel cried out. Looking up, Lance reali

Pavel ordered that Gabriella be brought to him after being disappointed when he did not receive a response from NBCI about his demands. He was worriedly looking out the window when she was brought in and carelessly slumped into a chair in front of him. Pavel turned to looked at her and she scoffed, her eyes glistening with mixed feelings of hate and gratitude. Apart from locking her and Lusha up, nothing major had been done to me. She and Lusha had food to eat, a comfy bed to lay down on and no torture. This made her wonder why Pavel was hesitant to deal mercilessly with her when he had it in him to hurt her."Your people did not respond to my message." Pavel told her as he poured himself a drink."I am not a weakling that they should rush to rescue me.""Or maybe you are not important to them.""Keep dreaming, Pavel." Gabriella scoffed again."You are my prisoner and you want to be hardheaded?""Do your worst! I am done playing with y

Two days after Evans' Commission, the allied forces met again. Hopefully, this would be their last mission This time around, Lance had also called the board members at NBCI to be a part of this meeting as the spies that had been deployed to spy on el Paradiso's vast areas had returned and this meant that the time to go and ambush Dario Pavel and put a stop to his terror had come.Meanwhile, Lance and his allies were not the only ones preparing for an attack. Gabriella and Pavel were also secretly planning their moves against each other. From the start, Pavel had vowed that no one would take Gabriella away from him and his desire to accomplish his promise was at the core of his very own heart."Are you really going to put me with this plan?" Marcos asked him pensively. "It could backfire you know.""If it backfires, I will kill Gabriella myself." Pavel replied confidently."Boss, think about this again.""All I have done since I discov

Back at the brothel, Lusha bolted to Gabrielle and hugged her. Pavel just walked past them and headed to the lobby where his new aide, Marcos was waiting for him. The two hugged lightly before Pavel took a seat and stared into space."Well....Did you do what you wanted?" Marcos asked him."Yes....I sent my family to a safe place." Pavel replied happily. "Now there is nothing stopping me from completing my plans.""What about Gabrielle? ""As usual, my mother loved her.""Too bad. You two won't ever be together.""It was her choice. She has exercised her will and It is time for me to exercise mine." Pavel replied."What are your orders?""We have an important adversary to deal with at the moment." Pavel said as he walked to the window and stared outside with a dismal expression."Don Francis." Pavel went on. "He dared to try and have experience assassinated.""What insolence! Give me your orde

Arriving at home, Pavel told his mother and brother to pack up before making a call. A van arrived in half an hour later and Patel helped Leon pack their luggage. Gabriella and the two men's mother watched in silence. As soon as they were done, Leon and Patel spoke in low tones. It was obvious they were discussing where learn would take their mother. Soon after that, they both approached Gabriella and their mother."Mother it is time to go." Leon said."Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would have to leave this place." Their mother replied sadly before she turned to Gabriella with a frown on her face."I am sorry dear. I wish we could spend a week together as planned.""I understand..." Gabriella replied and the woman hugged her. Leon also approached her and hugged her."Perhaps this is the last time we will see each other." He told her. Gabrielle smiled-it was a bitter smile. She knew that this was indeed the last time; not only for

As soon as Leon and Gabriella were done talking, they both went inside the house and found Pavel seated in the floor with his head on his mother's laps. Gabriella was a little flustered. She was never used to seeing Pavel so vulnerable and child-like. The woman stopped talking and caressing her son's head when she saw Gabriella. Pavel stood up too."Mum...She is the woman I was talking about." Pavel told his mother. Gabriella stepped forward as Pavel's mother stood up from her seat. Gabriella was going to shake her hand but she received a hug instead."Thank you." The woman whispered into Gabriella's ear."For what?"Gabriella could not help but ask. Pavel's mother chortled merrily and cradled her face."Without you, my son would not have come home." She said happily. "How long are you staying?"Gabriella was reluctant prompting Pavel to answer on her behalf. "We will be here for a week.""Although it is quite a short period....I am hap
