Even though Samuel had told Gabby beforehand that he would be around when She, Sera and Bella arrived, she confirmed it already when she saw one of his cars parked not too far from where Bella parked hers.
Shy and nervous Gabriella was able to trick Isabelle into giving her a house tour before saying Hi to her Dad. Gabby made sure Isabelle took her time in showing her around. She couldn't help but think Bella's home was perfect. It was not too big and neither was it too small. It was very much modern and decorated with the finest pieces of furniture. There were two living rooms, a kitchen, a guest room, laundry and gym room downstairs while there
Gabriella felt someone shower kisses over her face, down to her neck, to the exposed cleavage area of her nightgown."Sam!' She groaned in a sleepy voice, not opening her eyes."Good morning love." He kissed her forehead."Why are you here?" She whispered.
Isabelle Carter was starting to feel guilty about neglecting Sera and Gabby so she took an excuse from Jason to spend some time with her besties. The birthday girl went in search of Seraphina and Gabriella. She finally saw Sera in the living room, talking to some friends.As soon as Sera saw Bella approach her, She diverted her attention away from the people she was talking to."I hope the celebrant is having fun." She smiled at Bella.
With the look on Bella, Sera and Nina's face as they approached Gabriella and Jason, Gabby knew the situation had gotten out of hand. She could only pray for strength to go through what was about to happen and wisdom to say the right thing. She knew there was nothing she could say that would persuade Isabelle in this heated moment but she was trying to remain hopeful that she would get a chance to explain her side of the story.Gabriella swallowed painfully as soon as Isabelle approached her. With heavy tears in Bella's eyes, She stood almost too close to Gabriella. Her eyes looking into Gabby's own with an expression full of hate, disappointment
After what felt like forever, Samuel Carter finally pulled up at his mansion. For the uncountable time, he took his phone and dialled Gabriella but it went straight to voicemail. While driving, he had left her several voicemails and She hadn't returned any of them. Sam was relieved when he got a text message from Jason that he would drop Gabby at her apartment. He had told Jason to let him know when they arrived at her place.Samuel got down from the car and made his way to the entrance of his home. He briefly returned the greetings of the house help who was cleaning the house and proceeded upstairs in search of his daughter, Isabelle. She had to
Gabriella had been awake for a few minutes now. She didn't bother getting out of bed. She laid back in and replayed in her mind everything that happened the previous night. It was indeed an awful experience but she was grateful Sam spent the night with her. He had cuddled her overnight, making her have one of the best sleep she has had in awhile.Gabby heard her room door open and Sam walked in with a tray of breakfast. He was shirtless, only putting on his pants and he had his phone glued to his ear.
Isabelle's mother's place was decently big but not as big as Sam's home. Bella's stepdad, Victor, was a well to do Engineer while her mom works in an auditing firm."Stacy dear, go tell your sister to come down for breakfast," Rachael said to her other daughter who was already seated on the dining table."She wouldn't answer me so what's the point?" Stacy voiced out. She was asked to go call Isabelle down for dinner the previous night. Bella refused to open her door to see a
"Samuel Adonis Carter is NOT your Biological Father!!!!!!!!!!"At first, Isabelle did not know how to react to the statement her mother made because it felt very foreign hearing it. If she wasn't listening carefully to Racheal, she would have thought she heard wrong. But she heard what her mom said very loud and clear and neither had Bella known her mom to be someone that makes jokes out of serious matters.Isabelle looked at her Mother and saw a kind of expression she had n
Samuel Carter was kind enough to set up a study space for Gabriella in his suite so she could have a comfortable area to do her assignments and study.After being glued to her books for exactly five hours and having a ten minutes break after every thirty minutes read, Gabby felt fulfilled and decided she had had enough for the day.She closed her books, arranged her reading table, rose to her feet and went in search of Samuel in the living room.
Samuel Adonis Carter's POVAfter having one of the yummiest breakfast with my family, we all cuddled on the sofa in the living room. Sophie stayed in between Gabriella and me with her focus on her cartoon. Gabby and I watched her cartoons with her and also cuddled with her. My wife and I will surely have our hands full when the twins arrive so we are making sure we spend plenty of quality and alone time with Sophie.
Samuel ended up selling his mansion and the apartment he bought after he proposed to me. Since we were starting a family, it felt right to stick to one place we can call home. So he bought a house close to his office. Isabelle warned me not to call it 'a house' that it's 'a gorgeous portable mansion.' Not too big, not too small, just the perfect size for us to raise our family and house our guests and staff.I smiled as I connected my hand to the handle of my princess's door. I have no idea if she was awake but I know she would be happy to see me. Since I got heavy with the twins, Sam was always the one that wakes her up early in the morning. He
Four years later.Gabriella Naomi king-Carter's POV
'A beautiful pair of unisex booties for newborns, two pacifiers, a baby giraffe, baby socks, a fancy wooden teether, a newborn shirt with words 'Hi Daddy' on it and by the shirt were two used pregnancy tests. One had 'PREGNANT' on it and on the face of the other test wereTwo Pink Lines.Sam was brought back to reality when a tear rolled down his cheek. He quickly wiped them away with his palm.
The Next Day.Before Gabby slept the previous night, She decided she wasn't going to show up at work today so she contacted Melissa to let her know she was going to be working from home.Gabriella was forced to wake up around 4:30 am. She had an incoming call from Samuel. It was almost 11 am in Italy and he was getting ready to board the flight so he thought
Gabriella gulped down her glass of juice before heading to go open the door for her friends. Sera and Bella instantly pulled Gabby into a joint hug after Gabriella ushered them in. Even though Gabby was confused as to what they were doing at her place after she had told them she was okay and they didn't need to show up, She returned their hug."I told you girls that I was fine." She accused after they all pulled away from the hug."Yeah! Like we would actually not show up to
Gabriella occupied herself with random thoughts as she sipped the remaining hot chocolate in her mug. She put the mug away when she was done, picked up her phone and went back to her bedroom.She plopped down on she and Sam's king-size bed, laid on her back and stared at the ceiling as if it had answers to all of her worries.After a couple of minutes staring at the poor ceiling and having some internal conversations with herself, Gabby rose to her feet and proceeded to the
Epilogue!Four months later.After taking what felt like a long nap, Gabriella slowly opened her eyes. Even though her headache had disappeared, sh
The ride to Samuel's suite was quite a fun one. He and Gabby made random jokes and sang to their favourite songs.They got to the hotel building a couple of minutes later, Sam parked on his usual spot, they hopped out of the car and with their hands intertwined with each other's own, they proceeded to Samuel Carter's suite. His suite has been a home to him and Gabby for months now. Unlike his mansion, the suite was closer to his office and also to Gabriella's apartment and school.
