As time passed, the room gradually regained its composure, and Anita's condition stabilized under the watchful care of the medical staff. She rested, still unconscious. Simon's profound worry for Anita made Gabriella feel unsettled, even in this calm corner of the room. Simon's unwavering concern for Anita weighed heavily on Gabriella's mind. She had never witnessed him be so deeply invested in someone else's well-being before. It made her question their own connection and the recent misunderstandings they had experienced. Despite her concerns, she couldn't deny that witnessing Simon's compassionate side was deeply moving. As they remained by Anita's side, Gabriella decided to break the silence. "Simon
****With Simon's decision, Gabriella was taken aback as her worst fear had come to pass, as Gabriella, was still processing the situation,Overwhelmed with relief, Anita managed a weak but heartfelt "Thank you."Simon nodded, his eyes fixed on Anita. "I'm sure. Micheal would be with us once the marriage is done with." He said.And then he turned to look at Gabriella only to find out she was nowhere to be found. This took him by surprise as he began searching for Gabriella.Simon's search for Gabriella led him through the crowd, his concern growing with each passing moment. As he moved through the gathering, he finally spotted her sitting alone on a secluded bench, her face a mix of emotions."Gabriella, are you okay?" He asked,Approaching her cautiously, But all he could hear was her sulking sound.His voice trembling with regret, attempting to salvage the wreckage of their relationship. "Hey, hey, hey, this doesn't change us," he pleaded desperately, his words echoing hollow in the h
****Then the next morning arrived,With her eyes still closed, Gabriella's brow furrowed in confusion as she reached out for Simon in the empty space beside her. Her fingers met only the cool sheets, confirming that he was indeed nowhere to be found.Blinking away the remnants of sleep, Gabriella sat up in bed, her heart pounding with a mixture of worry and uncertainty. The room was bathed in the soft morning light, but Simon's absence left a noticeable void.As she scanned the room, searching for any sign of him, a flurry of questions raced through her mind. "Where could he have gone? Was he avoiding their conversation from the night before? Or was there something else, something she was yet to discover, that had driven him away?,"The morning held the promise of answers, but for now, all Gabriella could do was wonder and wait, hoping to find an explanation for Simon's sudden disappearance.Not too long after, her patience wore off as she became bothered of his whereabouts and then sh
****As soon as Gabriella left,Simon's unexpected return to the living room created a moment of tension that hung in the air. He extended an invitation to Anita, saying, "Come, Anita, let me get you settled."And however, the surprise on Emily's face was palpable, as her patience for Simon's impulsive decisions wore thin. Her response was both clear and resolute. "I'm leaving with Gabriella also. It's your house; you can enjoy it alone with your newly found family."With those words, Emily made her intentions clear. She had witnessed the turmoil that had engulfed their household, and she had decided to stand by Gabriella's side in solidarity, leaving Simon to grapple with the consequences of his actions on his own.Simon watched in stunned silence as both Gabriella and Emily, two of the most important women in his life, walked away, leaving him to contemplate the choices he had made and the family he had jeopardized.After Emily left, Simon found himself alone in the empty living room
****As the three of them were seated in the living room, tension hung in the air as Gabriella confronted Anita. Her words were tinged with a mix of annoyance and curiosity. "What do you want with us now?" Gabriella began, her voice steady but firm. "At least you have your long-lost simon back to yourself. And, by the way, how were you able to know our location?" Anita met Gabriella's gaze, and took a moment to gather her thoughts, fully aware of the doubt in Gabriella's question. She knew that her arrival was unexpected, and she had to provide a convincing explanation."I understand this might be surprising," Anita began, her voice softening. "I didn't mean to intrude, but I came here because there are things I need to clarify, and I wanted to talk to both of you. As for finding you, I... I got some assistance from a few people I know and eventually obtained the information I needed." Anita's apology hung in the air, and Gabriella and Emily exchanged another glance, this time sof
****Alex seized a moment, his gaze fixed on Gabriella, as if assessing her readiness to hear what he was about to unravel. "Gabriella," he started, his voice measured and earnest, "our past goes beyond what you might remember. Simon Grey, my university years, and even Rachel. Everything is connected in ways you can't fathom." Gabriella leaned in, spellbound by his words, her curiosity burning brighter by the second. She couldn't help but wonder how their bond could be so intertwined with Simon and the turns her life had taken.Alex took a deep breath as his expression revealed the gravity of what he was about to disclose. "Simon and I were more than just university buddies," Alex reiterated, emphasizing the significance of their connection. "We were involved in a business venture together, and it was during those years that I met Rachel. But our business dealings took a sinister turn, and Simon's involvement became increasingly questionable."Gabriella's mind raced as she process
****As the days passed, Gabriella gradually found a sense of stability in her daily life.

"Anita, you've been meeting someone regularly, and I can't help but wonder who it is.""Simon, I have not been meeting with anyone, it's all just work taking up my time and space," Anita lied.With a scoff, Simon said " work is it, okay,"Then he left as he didn't have any evidence to back his utterances.Simon's growing suspicion had led him to hire a spy to keep tabs on Anita's secret meetings.
