Chapter 052
~Gabriel~
I felt unworthy to look at Ariana's face because…I have been missing her entire life.I couldn't imagine all the difficulties that she went through growing up with a single parent.I couldn't help it but imagine Aria watching other kids happily playing with their Daddies.I was mad at myself when the mere thought of it popped into my mind.“Please forgive Daddy for not knowing that you existed.''I apologise once again, guilt consuming me.I know a simple “sorry” wasn't enough to make up for all those days that I missed her birthday.I know a simple sorry wasn't enough to make up for everytime Ariana yearned for father's love but I was not there to give it to her.I know a simple apology wasn't enough to make up for all those days that she fell sick but I was not around to take care of her.I know a simple apology was not enough for not being around when she was born.However,I hoped that she would someday forgive me.I hoped that someday,Ariana would undRelated chapters

~Amanda~I blinked countless times to get rid of the blurry vision.My headache terribly and a strong smell of chlorine hit my nostrils.When I my eyes fully opened,I was met with a pair of grey piercing eyes and I couldn't help it but frown, wondering what the hell was going on.Gabriel's lips curved into a smile and I could see relief in his eyes.”You're finally awake,Amanda.I was so worried about you.How are you feeling?Are you hungry or do you feel thirsty?”Gabriel asked politely and I could feel the concern in his voice.I snapped when I recalled my daughter's condition.“Ariana!I have to go and check on my daughter.”I was about to get off the bed but Gabriel held my hand. I turned to look at his hand on mine,then raised my face slowly and looked at him,our eyes locked.“You don't need to worry about anything because Ariana is doing perfectly fine.Our daughter is okay.Mom is watching over Ariana.

~Amanda~ It was quiet for a while inside the room.Gabriel’s questions made my heart ache.I know he has the right to ask questions because he is Ariana's Dad but…does he know how the fucking question caused so much pain to me?I heaved a deep sigh to calm down.“I found out a few days before graduation.I kept it to myself because I wanted it to be a surprise.I was planning to let you know that we were going to be parents on the last day of campus.”I paused to take a breath.“When I received the text message from you asking me to come at your apartment the same day,I was so excited to tell you the news and that's why I came immediately but…”I was silent for a while,the painful memories replayed in my head and my heart twisted inside my chest,as though someone was squeezing it into a tiny ball and it was becoming hard for me to breath.“I was heartbroken instead.I couldn't bring myself to tell you about the pre

~Amanda~Gabriel's question caught me off guard.I wasn't expecting him to ask me such a sensitive question.It was quiet for a while then I heaved a deep breath.“Can we talk from the balcony?”I asked and he nodded almost immediately.“Sure,”He said with a smile.I led the way and he followed behind me.“I will only allow you to be a father to Ariana under one condition.”I turned my head gently to look at Gabriel who was paying full attention.“And…what is the condition?”He asked hesitantly as though he wasn't sure if he wanted to hear my response.I heaved a deep sigh.“You are not allowed to tell Ariana that you're her father!You'll remain an uncle to her.I don't want Ariana to be affected by all this.That is why I didn't tell you that she's our daughter.It’s because I'm trying to protect her.”I paused to take a breath.“We will tell her the truth when she's mature enough

~Amanda~ “I know I can't make up for the lost time.Giving Ariana a complete family is the least I can do.I fully understand that things between us aren'that...good but can you please allow me to make it up for you and our daughter?I promise that if you give me this chance I won't fuck it up.”He looked at me with pleading eyes.I was quiet for a while, processing what Gabriel had just said.I wanted to grant my daughter's wish too because that is how much I care about Ariana.I will give up everything to make sure that she gets what she wishes for.However,I know that was not the right thing to do.Many people will hurt in the process and I didn't want to be the reason why someone hurts.I didn't want to be mean…Alicia will be affected and I didn't want that to happen.I know how it feels like watching your dreams crumble before your eyes.I know Alicia loves Gabriel so much because I saw it in her eyes when he l

~Amanda~A FEW DAYS LATER “It's time to take your medicine Ariana.”Gabriel announced as soon as we arrived in our daughter's room from the dining room.Ariana made a funny face when she heard Gabriel's words and I couldn't help it but smile.She doesn't like medicines, everyone knows that.However,I think she has no choice but to take it.I placed Ariana on the bed then held her little hands in mine, giving them a gentle squeeze.I raised my head to look into my daughter's brown hazel eyes which resembles mine.“Uncle Gabriel is right.It's time to take your medicines dear.”Ariana looked at me with a pout,being sturbbon like always whenever she heard the mention of the word “medicine”.“You need to take the medicines as prescribed by the doctor so that you don't get sick again, darling.Do you want to make your mommy, grandma, grandpa, and uncle worried again?”I asked my daughter and she shook her head almost immediately.“I don't want to make you worried, mommy.”Ariana said and my lips cu

~Amanda~“I think it will be best if we talk from the backyard.”I suggested and Gabriel nodded,”Sure,”He said and my lips curved into a small smile, nodding as well.I didn't want our daughter or anyone else to hear what I wanted us to talk about.I climbed down from the bed carefully, making sure I didn't wake up Ariana.Gabriel opened the door like the gentleman that he is and stepped aside, allowing me to walk out first then closed the door behind us.We walked in silence and thanks to the heavens we didn't meet any of our parents in the corridors because I knew they would question where we were heading to.The bone chilling breeze hit my exposed skin and I shivered a little bit.As though Gabriel noticed that the breeze was too harsh to me,he removed his jacket and carefully placed it on my shoulder.I took a sharp breath cursing myself inwardly for forgetting to wear something heavy.The jacket was warm and it smelled more like him.The surrounding was calm and it looked so beautiful

~Amanda~“You don't need to worry about anything.I will take care of Ariana.”Gabriel turned his head momentarily to look at our daughter and she giggled, happiness written all over her face.“I will make sure that Aria takes her medicines on time,I will change her clothes when they get wet from sweating…”Gabriel continued to mention all that and my lips curved into a smile.I was enlightened that he cared that much about our daughter.“I can see you know everything that is supposed to be done.”I joked and we both laughed lightly.“All you need to do is pay your full attention to the meeting ahead of you because I know how important it is to you.”I heaved a nervous sigh and smiled.I was happy to know that Gab cared that much about my career and the company.After checking on my daughter and making sure that she was doing alright,I left her room.Gab assured me that he would take care of our daughter and the worry that I had decreased a little bit.“Aren't y

~Amanda~Andrew heaved a deep sigh then raised his head to look at me.”I have never stopped loving her even if she was in love with someone else.Perhaps I'm a fool when it comes to her.”His lips curved into a sad smile.I could feel the pain that Andrew has been going through.I couldn't help it but imagine how it has been hard for him to watch the girl that he's in love with falling in love with someone else.I tried to put myself in his shoes and…Damn it! It freaks me out a lot.“Maybe…you can try to shoot your shot.Who knows?”I shrugged, smiling at my own thoughts.Andrew was quiet when he heard my words,then heaved a deep sigh and a smile tugged on his lips.“Enough with my heartbreaking story.”He let out a breathy laugh.“What about you?”I frowned,”What do you mean?”I asked.“I mean are you planning to get into a relationship or something?”I was quiet, giving it a thought.“I don't have any plans of getting into a relationship anytime soo
