And then she approached Gabriella with the utmost tenderness in her heart, understanding the depth of her suffering."Oh, my darling," Emily spoke softly as she moved closer to offer comfort. "Please Gabriella, do not cry, you should at least consider how it would affect the baby negatively," She gently urged Gabriella."Emily, Simon gave me so much hurt, always fueling my pain and you think, I should forgive him just like that," she said as her reluctance was evident in her voice, still overwhelmed by anger and hurt.With a scoff, Gabriella uttered as she acknowledged her shortcomings, "No matter what I do or say, he is always your son, and I am sorry for keeping you away from him all these while, I just got to know how selfish I am,"Emily, however, took responsibility for her choices. "Gabriella, don't be stupid," she began firmly. "I chose to be with you and s
****The next morning, Simon woke up earlier than usual, his mind filled with arrangements for their upcoming departure. With the help of the household helpers, he began packing for their trip.

"No, Mom, I'm only packing for our trip.""Our trip?" Emily questioned, still a bit confused.Simon explained, "I suggested a getaway vacation yesterday, and after some reluctance, Gabriella agreed."Emily's initial confusion gave way to a warm smile as she grasped the significance of the moment. "A family vacation? That's wonderful, Simon!"Simon nodded with enthusiasm. "Yes, Mom. It's a step toward rebuilding our family, and I want to make it a special experience for both Gabriella and the baby."Emily was touched by her son's sincerity and determination to mend their family bonds.

****Upon arriving at the hotel, Gabriella was taken aback to discover that she and Simon were assigned to share the same suite. She couldn't hide her surprise and immediately confronted him about it."Why are we sharing a room?" she questioned him, her tone filled with astonishment.Simon, realizing the mix-up, quickly responded, "I didn't plan this, Gabriella. It seems Tion made a mistake with the booking. But it's a luxurious suite, and we can manage for one night. Tomorrow, we can book a separate suite for you."Gabriella, however, was clearly agitated by the situation. She shook her head and said, "Just leave it."Without waiting for a response, she walked away from Simon and sought assistance from one of the hotel attendant.As Gabriella walked away to speak with the hotel escort, Simon watched her retreating figure, a mix of emotions swirled within him with the understanding of her frustration and the discomfort of sharing a suite with him after all that had transpired."Thank

"My darling, how are you? I guess Simon didn't bother you too much," she playfully quipped.Gabriella chuckled, appreciating Emily's light-heartedness. "No, not at all. We're actually getting along quite well," she replied, glancing affectionately at Simon.Simon nodded i
****After a long drive on the boat as the night drew near, the three of them arrived at the shore and got off the boat."So we call it a night then?" Simon uttered out to Genevieve."Really Simon, when did you become this way, come on the night is still young, don't be such an old man," Genevieve said."Loosen up a bit, doesn't mean your pregnant girlfriend won't have you laying next to her tonight," she said with a slight grin.The tension escalated rapidly, as Gabriella became frustrated by Genevieve's rudeness and the disrespect she had shown, and so she couldn't hold back her emotions any longer."Enough!" Gabriella's voice cut through the night air, a mix of anger and hurt. "Simon, if you want to be with her, go ahead. But if you value what we've been trying to rebuild, then make a choice now.""And as for you Genevieve,I feel offended by every utterance you made," Gabriella spoke out finally in a fighting tone."Feel offended bitch, I don't give a fuck, it won't change the fact
****Not too long, they arrived at Emily's suite and with a knock on the door, Emily said "who's at the door,""Mom! It's us," Simon gently uttered out.Within an instant, she opened the door with her eyes widened as she was consumed with fear."What happened , are you okay Gabriella," Emily asked as her curiosity went opaque."Mom, we need to leave this hotel as soon as we can," he said in a tone of urgency."Why, I was starting to enjoy our stay,"Emily grumbled. "By the way, why can't we wait till morning," she continued."Mom, please I can't explain, all I can say is our lives are in danger especially mine and I can't risk your life or Gabriella's, so we must leave here as soon as we can,"And so they left the hotel and entered the car, as they were going, suddenly a car came and crashed into their car causing a fatal accident which led to the car tumbling upside down.As the car came to a halt, suddenly a familiar voice spoke out with a click sound."Tch,tch, tch, poor Simon,alas

And Gabriella gently cradled her growing belly, smiling at the thought of their family growing.Simon, overcome with emotion, whispered, "I can't wait to meet you, little one. We already love you so much."Gabriella nodded, tears of happiness welling up in her eyes. "Our journey together is just beginning, and it's going to be amazing." With her persistent look, Simon began feeling uncomfortable "why are you looking at me in that manner,"And Gabriella gave a slight smile as she said "Thank you for trying to be better for me and the baby, I'd say it means alot to both of us,""It's my duty but the truth is, I was quite skeptical about keeping the baby initially," Simon confessed."What do you mean by skeptical, it's not like I fucked anyone else," Gabriella was firm with her response."Do not get me wrong Gabriella, it's just one of my dumb random talks," Simon explained."It would have been dumb, if I didn't say th
****As the three of them settled into the chairs, Isabella looked at Simon, with a hint of seriousness in her eyes. "I hope you're not upset about the revelation. I understand this is a lot to take in and it's all happening fast,"Simon nodded, a small smile forming. "It's surprising, yes, but I'm not upset. Family is a complicated matter, and finding a lost sister is something I'm willing to embrace."Isabella's face lit up with a genuine smile, and she expressed her gratitude, "Thank you, Simon. I've always longed for this day, to be able to share family ties openly."In the midst of their conversation, Gabriella walked into the living room, drawn by their voices from her slumber.
