Knowing fully well the other guys were coming over, Gabriella tried to clean up as early as possible. She didn't lazy around like she always did most times.

She also searched through her clothes to find a simple yet casual dressing to wear when receiving the men. She realized she hadn't even seen them ever since her wedding. Due to her school, she barely had contact with these people.

Her phone buzzed quietly beside her and Gabriella rolled her eyes before picking the call, she pressed the phone to her ears carefully as she yawned lightly.

"What is it?" she asked.

"The Rodriguez family has a private port" the other person said as Gabriella raised her eyebrow.

"Private port? What do you mean by that?" Gabriella asked, surprised.

"Not a private port in person, they are in cahoots with some government officials so they use the government official name to receive their goods through the public port so it isn't even checked at all" the other person replied as Gabriella nodded her head.

    Gabriella looked taken aback for a moment before she chuckled lightly while wearing a smile."C'mon Leon, that isn't much of a big deal" Gabriella said as her smile weaned as she looked around."Or is it?" she asked quietly as Leon nodded his head."It's a big deal. Diego had gone to great lengths to hide your identity from the rest of the world. You were just a college student who knew nothing about the affairs of the business world, how badly people wanted to cozy up to you so as to get into the good books of the Rodriguez family, so that others wouldn't bully you if you went out" Leon replied as Gabriella chuckled."Bully me? Do I look like someone who could get bullied?" Gabriella asked as she laughed but she quickly cut her laughter short upon realizing that none of the men were laughing with her."Stephanie.. Leon started as Gabriella quickly cut him off."She couldn't bully me or if anything, I think I bullied her instead" Gabriella said as she smiled, so you don't need to worr

    By the time the men were leaving, Peter was already drunk and John had to carry him all through the way to the door. Gabriella would have trained so well with alcohol wasn't even tipsy after finishing about three bottles. She had a hint of a smile on her face as she watched Leon put both John and Peter in his car."Thank you for having us" Leon said asGabriella shook her head laughing.'Should we just call the driver to drive you all back home?" Gabriella asked asLeon shook his head.I didn't drink that much. I should be able to drive" Leon replied as he turned to Diego and he seemed to hesitate for a moment and then threw a playful punch at Diego and then got into the car."See you two later" he said as he got into the car and drove out of the car park.Gabriella laughed lightly as she walked back into the house with Diego walking behind her. It was already past 3am in the morning but neither Diego nor Gabriella was bothered and they both climbed the stairs walking towards their r

    Diego placed his phone beside his computer as he started looking through some of the files on the table.His computer beeps quietly as a new email entered but he didn't bother opening the email as he continued working on his computer. There were the things he should have attended to as soon as he came back from work but with John and the rest coming immediately after him, he couldn't leave them in the seating room and go off to work so he definitely had to do the work before he slept.It wasn't much of a hassle and that was why in the first place, he wasn't really bothered since he knew he could always do it either in the car while going to work or before he slept at whatever time the other men left.Thinking about what had happened in the past month, Diego really didn't have an explanation for his actions. He had almost fell out with his childhood best friend of almost twenty years because of his wife that he hadn't known for more than three months. The irony was not just funny, it w

    Mona raised an eyebrow at Gabriella for a second before wearing a subtle smile and linking her hands with her."See you who got one of the hottest guys in school to be her boyfriend" Gabriella cooed, trying to change the topic."Stop it. Douglas hasn't made a post yet. You don't want me getting mobbed by the girls right?" Mona asked playfully while Gabriella just chuckled."Please, it's not like any of those girls can actually mob you" Gabriella replied as she and Mona burst into laughter.Both Gabriella and Mona knew that by the time the news of her and Douglas dating goes out, a lot of girls will of course be dissatisfied and there would be a lot of posts in the forums but Mona knew that was just it or that would be it rather, there was nothing anyone could do. None of the girls had the guts to walk up to her or even harass her because of it. Mona didn't think any of the girls had such guts and no they didn't."Where's Angel ?" Gabriella asked, sighing internally at her successful e

    With the chaos that had happened earlier that day and knowing that despite threatening the Deputy Head, the stupid woman still sent another text that made the veins in her forehead bulge wildly. She quickly gave Mona and Angel some weird excuse as she was quick to run to the library to do the job once and for all.Stepping into the most desolate place in the library, Gabriella brought out her laptop and wriggled her fingers together as her fingers started running on the keyboard with expertise. Her eyes and eyebrows were furrowed as she typed without care. Barely an hour later, her eyebrow became even more furrowed. All these officials had been trying to curry favor from the Rodriguez family for years and till now they still haven't succeeded so Gabriella wasn't sure of which of the officials might have been used. Maybe all of them were used to test their loyalty to them.Gabriella rubbed her forehead as she dialled a number on her phone while the other person picked up on thesecond

    Gabriella glanced at the wall clock in the bedroom while biting down on her lips. Diego rarely came home this late.Even though she knew that he could be stuck in a meeting or could be very busy, her brain refused to think that way.Maybe he was too angry and didn't want to see her. Maybe he was mad at her and didn't want to interact or even stay in the same house with her. A lot of thoughts ran through her head, thoughts threatening to suffocate her any moment. Gabriella ran her hands through her hair as she drove in.She had been expecting and waiting for him to come home and now that he was home; her nervousness grew up another notch. She could feel her palms becoming sweaty and her breathing getting faster. Her heart beat increased as she heard the front door open and then barely a minute later, the door of the bedroom was pushed open.Gabriella had scattered some of her books on the bed as a way of pretending that she was doing something and that was why she was still awake."H

    It had been more than one week since Diego and Gabriella last spoke to each other. Diego came only by the time Gabriella was asleep and by the time she woke up, he would have gone to the office. In summary, for the past one week, she hadn't seen Diego at all even though they slept in the same house.Gabriella deeply regretted her actions.Maybe she should have used another way to find out what feeling Diego held towards her after discovering that she had lied to him. She had taken the hard and bitter road and she deeply regretted it. She wanted to apologize but she didn't have the courage and it was eating her up. Ever since she and Diego had gotten married, they hadn't even had a single misunderstanding but now they had gotten into a big quarrel.Gabriella stared at the Professor in front of the class as she tried to understand what the older man was saying but nothing was entering her head."Miss Deville, are you listening to me at all?" the older Professor asked with a frown on hi

    Gabriella walked into the ward while wearing a huge smile, the younger boy on the bed glaring up at her with blank eyes."Yoo....How are you?" Gabriella cooed as soon as she stepped inside the ward."Oh, so all of a sudden, you now remember that you have a younger brother?" Alex asked as Gabriella wore a guilty expression.'I'm sorry, okay. I'm really sorry"Gabriella tried to apologize while Alex shook his head and sighed."You do this all the time now so It's not even a big deal" Alex replied asGabriella swallowed her saliva and dropped the bag of snacks on the table before walking to the cushion. She laid down on the cushion while staring at the ceiling. She was scared to go to an empty house again or better still sleep alone. She had decided earlier to sleep in Alex's ward and go home early the next morning, that way whatever time Diego was going to leave the house she was going to see him. He didn't have to say anything to her; she just wanted to see him."What are you doing?"

A small smile drifted to his lips while approaching her wanting to check what the picture contained but his smile immediately froze upon seeing the picture."Mom, what are you doing with that picture?"

No matter how hard they tried, the information on who had died wasn't found.An older woman walked closer to Diego as she slowly rubbed his shoulders while Diego turned slightly and buried his head in her arms.Whatever was happening, whatever was going to happen; they had to live first."He was very proud of you" she muttered quietly as Diego smiled lightly.I know. He made that very obvious before he left" Diego replied as the woman squeezed his shoulder lightly while Diego smiled as he removed his head from her embrace and placed the woman in her arms before leading her towards the car."Let's go home" Diego said softly as one of the bodyguards opened the door for them and they both got into the car.As the car sped off; a figure clad in black clothes

Trisha asked."Diego " Peter called as Diego sighed softly while he tried to seat up on the bed.
