"So happy that you and Diego settled your differences" Mona said as she chuckled while Gabriella shook her head."I Mean, I and Angel had been wriggling our heads together looking for ways to get Diego to talk to you. We said we were going to see him in his office if you guys still didn't settle" Mona added as Gabriella chuckled softly."Thank you guys. Thank you so much"Gabriella replied as Angel laughed.'It's all okay now. You two have settled and that's okay now" Angel replied as they laughed.It's been barely a week since she and Diego got back together, it's been barely a week since she came clean about her identity and what her story was to Diego.After promising the latter not to hide anything from him, she came clean about a lot of the other stuff too and Diego didn't also mince words in telling the little secrets about him too. She had also been shocked to realize that Diego was also a hacker and although he refused to tell her his hacking ID, she figured out he wouldn't, m
"A visitor?" Diego asked with his eyebrows furrowed."Miss Omo said she's here to help you with Gabriella 's case" Andrew whispered as Diego chuckled.Put a call across to Director Fiona.They have to find Gabriella quickly"Diego replied as he turned to the female."Hold it. Do not hack into the Shaw family security system" Diego said as the female nodded."Yes sir" she said as Diego stepped out of the room and took the elevator.There was no expression on his face but the emotions in him were raging crazily but his calm face even scared people more. No one knew what he was thinking at all.Diego strode into his office with Andrew behind him. Stephanie was seated down on one of the cushion's quietly sipping her coffee. Diego sat down on the cushion in front of her and crossed his legs."What help do you want to offer?"Diego asked as Stephanie smiled quietly at him."Calm down Diego . Nothing is going to happen to Gabriella as long as you agree to my terms" Stephanie replied as Andr
"Shut up" Who do you think you are?" He growled at her as he chuckled."You are just some toy that Shame is playing with; you know why he marrieed you? That's because grandfather asked him to. That old man has a lot of stupid rules in his head and so my lovely cousin used you. Why are you feeling so high up?' Vanter asked as Gabriella burst into laughter."This is the exact reason why I said you are stupid. When you know that Diego is just using me, then is kidnapping me not just useless. What makes you think he will give up a huge company like the Rodriguez Corporations to save someone that he's just using like me?" Gabriella asked as she laughed again."The act of kidnapping me to control Diego is stupid then thinking that he would give up such a huge company for me is ridiculous. If you kill me now, maybe you'll be able to find something else to control Diego and make him give you the company" Gabriella added as she smiled at Vanter."But then, I admire your courage, messing wit
Diego and Gabriella held onto each other quietly as the doctor prescribed drugs to Gabriella and walked out of the ward while Diego kissed the back of Gabriella 's hand."You'll be fine in a day or two" Diego said as Gabriella smiled while nodding her head."I know" Gabriella said as she stared atDiego smiling with crystals in her eyes."Why are you looking at me like that?"Diego asked, smiling quietly with her as well."You don't know why?" Gabriella asked as Diego shook his head."I don't know why. Tell me" Diego replied as Gabriella smiled."For a long time, I tried to imagine you being in love with me and all and yet reality kept hitting me in the face, like, Gabriella get a grip on yourself; there's no way Diego 's gonna like you, do you have any idea in which the circumstances in which you two got married?" Gabriella asked in reply as Diego squeezed her hand tighter."And when I found that you actually liked me, loved me" Gabriella continued her voice getting smaller as she s
Gabriella watched as Diego walked into the study and closed the door behind him. He hadn't said a word since they had gotten home. He was almost like a zombie. Gabriella had already exhausted the words that she could use to convince him that everything was alright.For something that had never happened before, absolutely nothing was going to be alright. It was a disaster and until Director Fiona found out why and what had happened, Diego was in a precarious situation.She knew the only reason why Director Fiona didn't immediately detain Diego was because one, she couldn't two, she knew Diego wouldn't and couldn't disappear from the surface of the earth and three. Diego was as destabilized as them, even twice as destabilized.Gabriella removed the gown she had worn out and changed into a pair of jaggers and a tan top before she grabbed her laptop and placed it on the bed. Wiggling her fingers, she ran Her fingers on the keyboard and her system seemed to go blank before login details
The fact that Diego had gotten called back to the base the after told him at least they had found something when he had searched overnight and had come up with absolutely nothing at all.He and Gabriella hadn't really exchanged so much words the day before and even that morning when Diego got the phone call from Director Fiona, the only thing she had done was to tightly hold his hand and hold him with a strong gaze. Her meaning was clear, no matter what happened, she would stand by him.The drive to the base was quiet and silent and this time around, they passed through another entrance to the underground base. Director Fiona was already waiting for them. Diego raised his eyebrow at her attempt of wearing a smile."Good morning President Diego "Director Fiona said as she led them into the room they had entered the day before once again."I believe you have news for meDirector Fiona" Diego muttered in reply as he glanced at the huge screen in front of him while Director Fiona sighed
Gabriella had been seating down in from of the computer for almost an hour staring at the confidential information Director Fiona had held from her over the years. She didn't know whether to feel resentful or not.Diego 's parents of course weren't at fault, her father was just at fault of have being a very good agent and it was his unfortunate luck that made him got picked. She almost couldn't imagine how Diego must be feeling after the whole revelation. He discovered his parents weren't his parents and his parents as well high ranking agents.Why on earth would people as rich as that want to be a secret undercover agent?They went missing and there were no news about them?Gabriella was once marvelled at the efficiency of the Rodriguez family. She pursed her lips as she turned and saw Diego walking into the room with two other girls behind him. She subconsciously frowned as Director Fiona also stood up straight."President Diego " Director Fiona said as glanced at the duo behind h
It had been one week since Diego had joined hands with the CIA to find his parents and Gabriella 's father. Much to the CIA shock, the secrets that were been unrivalled were much huge that they thought and they had to bring in the higher ups. More evidences and more evidences were been found and what was more, everyone was certain that these agents that had disappeared for over fourteen years could still be somewhere waiting to be found and saved and this was even confirmed when a program was found and shockingly it was Morse code to tell the agency that one of the agents had rebelled and changed sides and they needed urgent help but somehow the program had mixed with other programs and seven years later, they were just seeing it.For everyone, they would easily say the week had been stressful and horrendous for them but for Diego and Gabriella , it had to be the time where their mental health was tasked the most. Ever since raw evidence had been found against her father, Gabriella
TWO AND HALF YEARS LATER."Jaden, come back here" Gabriella hollered trying to adjust her graduation gown as a small boy not less than one year old came running towards her and before he could reach her, someone else scooped him into their arms.Gabriella raised her head as a soft smile appeared on her face."Skipped a meeting?" she asked with an amused smile as Diego shrugged."Actually felt the shareholders arguing"Diego said as Gabriella shook her head while laughing as Diego reached towards her and dropped a small kiss on her forehead."You came right on time else we would have had to fix a picture of you into it"Trisha said as everyone burst into laughter"We were just about to take pictures"Trisha added as Diego snorted at her moving towards Gabriella and standing beside her.He had been reckless during one of their nightlife and Gabriella ended up getting pregnant. The latter was almost in her final year so she didn't mind and gave birth to a bouncing baby boy and his great
Diego walked into his mom's room and saw the latter holding a picture. 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?" Diego asked as his mom smiled at him."You two really look good together" she replied waving the picture at him. It was a picture of both Diego and Gabriella smiling brightly at the camera.Diego didn't bother replying as he climbed into bed with his mom and placed his head on her laps."I know you miss her" his mom started but Diego kept quiet not saying anything."And I know you love her" his mom added as Diego chuckled silently."And you think she'll want to come back?" Diego asked as his mother smiled."I know she'll want to come back" his mother replied as he stated patting his head quietly."I know how exhausting this has been for you Diego , has painful this whole experience has been for you and the amount of
Gabriella could feel her hart slamming against her chest as she finished watching the video, her legs seem to walk faster than her brain and Gabriella could feel her world crashing down on her. Mona had insecurity issues? She almost didn't believe it if not for the fact that Mona herself had used her mouth to say it. Mona ahd these so many issues and she almost didn't have an idea of any of them? Gabriella couldn't believe herself. Tears rolled down her eyes nonstop as she hurried towards Mona's apartment.Every single word that Mona ahd said in the video tore into her heart like a tornado. To think that this was what Moan had been feeling like all these years and the fact that Mona was right in virtually everything she had said made Gabriella even panic more. She had darted from the cafe seeing as how Mona had tore the bracelet off her hand.She definitely couldn't lose her best firends, she couldn't. They were all she had left. Mona spilling out her guts had made Gabriella reali
Diego stood motionlessly as he stared at the grave in front of him. There hordes of people behind him but no one dared to get close to him. No one knew who it was but they all knew an important member of the Rodriguez family had died. 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
By the time Gabriella finished climbing the stairs, what she saw a very familiar female figure leaning on the car and staring at him. Gabriella swallowed down her saliva rather painfully as she turned her head and attempted to walk away pretending not to see the latter but she was wrong. The latter had come for her."Are you going to pretty that your eye sockets have gone backwards or you are going to pretend that your eyesight chooses who it wants to see?" she asked as Gabriella winced slightly as she paused in her steps and quickly took a few rapid breaths to calm down as she turned to the other wearing a serene face, her voice as calm as a still river."We already parted ways. There's no need for you to ocme and see me" Gabriella replied but the reply she got in return was the latter opening the car door for her."Get in" she said turning back toGabriella who stared at her in surprise before shaking her head."I'm not getting in the car" she said resolutely."Then if you dare wlak
By the time Diego opened his eyes, all he could see was the white ceiling. A turn of his head reminded him where he was and why he was there. Trisha was the first to rush to him, her hands frantically touching him to check if he was alright."Are you alright?" Trisha asked."Diego " Peter called as Diego sighed softly while he tried to seat up on the bed. Trisha slowly helped him seat down on the bed and they all watched in atnoshiment as Diego tore off the drains on his body. His face even didn't wince as he pulled the wires from his body."Diego , you need to rest" John started as Diego turned to him with an icy glare that froze John down to his bones.He stood up from the bed and Leon immediately blocked his way whileDiego slowly raised his head to meet the latter's eyes. Leon stood firm despite meeting the eyes that seemed to be shooting ice pickles. The pickles tore at him wildly but Leon stood his ground."What are you doing?" Diego asked."Get out of the way" Diego added."Y
Gabriella didn't know why she followed the horde of agents that rushed out to rescue Diego 's parents. She knew she wouldn't be able to do anything and much to everyone's shock, the glowing couple back then were almost a shadow of themselves, they had aged way much than they actually were and what was more, no one knew how or why but Diego 's parents had contracted something that sent him straight to the doors of the ICU as soon as he was found, his mother was also placed under intensive care in the hospital. The hospital was immediately surrounded by policemen and all kinds of agents scaring everyone while the top floor where Diego 's father and mother were receiving treatment were completely sealed off.Gabriella stared at Diego who had his head buried his arms as she sat in front of the ICU, guilt that she had been trying to push to the back of her mind rushed and welled her up in a matter of minutes. Her own father was safe and sound and Diego 's parents were fighting for their
"Director Fiona, we are found traces of agent Parker" one of the hackers suddenly muttered as Director Fiona turned to Diego and seeing the latter give no reaction at all. She nodded at the agent who immediately barked out an order and Diego slowly rose from his seat. His knuckles were hurting badly and he didn't even think they hurt these much when he was competiting.He had finally made a decision in his mind. At this point, there was no going back.The bodyguards in the room immediately stood at attention as Diego strode out of the room without a word. Gabriella pursed her lips trying to blink back her tears as she tried to rush after Diego . She didn't even know what to say."Diego !" she called as she turned into the corridor. The man stopped and turned to her with a blank face. The face immediately made her mute and the kind of pain that tore through her couldn't be described. The words in her throat couldn't be spat out no matter what. She watched as the man withdrew his e
