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?"
Noah sighed softly as he started walking towards Gabriella and stopped a few meters away from her. Gabriella wore a full smile as she tried to adjust her school bag over her shoulders."You are here" Gabriella said softly asNoah nodded quietly.*Yeah" Noah replied, keeping his eyes on Gabriella 's dark circles."It's good that you are here" Gabriella said as she swallowed her saliva."I had a small quarrel with Alex. I would have trouble keeping him company these days" Gabriella said as Noah chuckled."always keep him company" Noah replied and that was all it took for Gabriella to realize that Noah was being slightly hostile to her."And why did you quarrel with him?"Noah asked but before Gabriella could reply, he answered the question himself."Keeping secrets from him as well?"Noah asked as Gabriella froze while she stared at Noah in slight shock."You know what Gabriella , I keep getting curious. Kind of. What does Alex mean to you?" Noah asked as Gabriella wore a frown on her f
By the time Gabriella opened her eyes, it was the next morning. The curtains had been slightly drawn together to allow ample energy and sunlight in the room.Gabriella blinked her eyes slowly as she sighed softly. She had indeed fainted and in her dream, Diego had been the one to bring her to the hospital. She didn't know if he had known that she fainted and even if he knew if he would even come to say hi to her.Just as she tried to stand up, she felt something on her hand, a glance sent shock and surprise washing through her body upon seeing Alex sleeping beside her. Another glance showed Noah dozing off in one of the cushions in the room. A soft smile appeared on her face as she tried not to wake Alex up but her small movements had already woken the dozing one."You are finally awake" Noah muttered as Gabriella swallowed her saliva."He was here all night," Noah said as he glanced at Alex."Blaming himself for some stupid shit I know you are at fault at" Noah added as Gabriella chu
Gabriella patiently waited for Diego to come back and much to her disappointment; he didn't come back until night. Gabriella contemplated within her before she decided to tell him the truth."Hey" Gabriella greeted him whileDiego nodded perfunctorily."Are you better now?" Diego asked asGabriella winced at his reply before seating back on her bed staring into space without replying to Diego's questions."One morning like every other day, my dad left home for work. He said he would be back in the evening" Gabriella started as Diego sat himself on the cushion patiently listening to whatever Gabriella has in store for him."But he didn't come back," Gabriella added as she chuckled."He didn't come back the second day or the third day or the fourth or the fifth day. He didn't come back a week later or a month later or two months later or half a year later and even one year later and even years now no one knows where he is" Gabriella muttered."Two months after my father disappeared, I c
