2024-10-29 19:42:56"Welcome Home, Gaby," said the elegant old lady with tears in her eyes. "My name is Diana -Diana Cromwell... Gaby, I - I am your grandmother."
Gabrielle froze as she remained seated on the soft mattress. She flickered her eyes repeatedly and shook her head, repeating the woman's words, "Gr - grandmother?"
The lady, like her, had hazel eyes. They were looking at her with yearning as she explained, "Genevieve is my first daughter." More water flowed down her face as she added, "That makes me... your grandmother."
"You're - you are my grandmother?" She asked again, trying to make sure she heard it right.
The fashionable woman, whose hair had already turned grey, wiped the wetness on her face and said, "Yes - Yes, I am, Gaby. I'm your grandmother Diana."
While Gabrielle rose from the bed, the woman walked towards her carefully and raised both her arms, clearly wanting to embrace Gabrielle. She heard the woman say, "You - you remind me

Gaby, please." Diana walked slowly to Gabrielle and suggested, "Maybe... if you meet Alistair, you will like him? He is a handsome man and, like our family, he belongs to a noble family. He will - " "I've already met this Alistair Howard, grandma and I don't like him one bit!" Gabrielle answered, with conviction. "Besides, I am already engaged to a man that I love so much!" Tears fell down her face as she explained, "Had I known being reunited with the Cromwells will only keep me apart from the one I love the most, I would not! Never! Dream in a million years to be a Cromwell!" Gabrielle essentially broke down in tears, afraid for her future at that point. In front of her grandmother, she begged, "Please... Please... Please help me. I - don't want this. I want to return to my fiance." Diana watched in agony as Gabrielle kneeled in front of her, repeatedly beseeching. Aside from that, she was surprised to learn that Gabrielle had already met Alistair.&

"Gaby, this is your aunt Gloria and your cousin, Veronica." A smile left Diana's lips as she introduced the rest of the family. "You are about the same age as Veronica." The Cromwells were in front of their dining table, with Diana hoping to have quality time over dinner. After two days of being locked up in the room, it was Diana's idea to formally introduce Gabrielle to the Cromwell family. "Next to your aunt is your uncle, Lester Wales. Your aunt and your cousin hold the last name of Wales, but they have lived with us since, while keeping our business afloat," explained Diana. "Come here, child. Sit with me." "It's nice to meet you, Gaby," greeted Lester. "You look very similar to Genevieve and.. I am sorry to hear about your mother's passing." "While I am sorry about Genevieve, I am curious what brings Gaby here?" Gloria probed, lazily shifting her gaze to Diana and to the other end of the table where Gerald Cromwell sat. She scoffed and inquired,

The sound of the helicopter's rotor blades loudly echoing across the estate of the Cromwells made Gabrielle look up to the sky as she brought Diana out for some fresh air. It was from the master bedroom balcony that both Diana and Gabrielle could not help but be curious over the rotating helicopter. "That helicopter has been going around our estate for days." Gerald Cromwell came out to the balcony with them, narrowing his eyes at the flying chopper. "I thought you said that our country's officials had allowed a survey, covering several acres of land, including ours," Diana probed as she sat on her chair. Frowning, Gerald answered, "They did, I just did not expect it to take several days." Gabrielle, who was holding a soup bowl, could not feel at ease, looking at the helicopter. Somehow, she hoped it was Kyle, but like the other days, the chopper soon fled away from the manor house and into the other fields surrounding the Cr

"Your highness, it's nice of you to join us for dinner." After shaking hands with Prince Adi, Gerald Cromwell said, "It has been years since you last visited our manor." "Yes, it has, but we regularly see each other, pertaining to our gold reserves," reminded the Prince. "You remember my son, Liam." Gerald looked down at the restless-looking four-year-old and greeted, "Good evening, Prince Liam. A pleasure to have you here in our home." Turning behind him, Prince Adi introduced, "And you may have heard the businessman who saved Liam's life after he ran across the street from school." Directing with his hand, Prince Adi named the businessman, "This is Mister Kyle Wright. He happens to be the CEO of one of the biggest corporations in the US." "Mister Wright, this is Gerald Cromwell, the head of the Cromwell family, one of the families who is taking care of the royal family's assets," added the prince.

Veronica's heart was pounding, following Kyle's repeated proposal. With the man hinting that she would be his wife and be part of his family, she was in cloud nine. While Kyle gave no regard whatsoever to her remarkable excitement, Veronica and her mother were nearly teary-eyed, both foreseeing fortune and luck for their family. Veronica though, Kyle was extremely handsome and she and her mother definitely took Prince's Adi's word for it! Who wouldn't? Surely, the royal family's sources were accurate! All the Cromwells have missed seeing Kyle's indifference, merely focusing on the good luck that has come to them. Even Diana, who at first thought Kyle was snobbish, felt grateful that their family business will finally be saved! After Gerald's approval to Kyle's terms, everyone waited for the man to turn his attention to Veronica. Silenced engulfed them, fixating their eyes at Kyle's gaze. To their bewilderment, however, Kyle a

As Gerald made his walk to the stairs, he hissed, shaking his head with the thought of Kyle Wright. He understood well how blunt the man was, especially when talking about his granddaughter, Veronica. At first, he was unsure how to take it, but he felt he did not have any other choice! They were in desperate need of help, and Prince Adi seemed to like him. As part of the monarch, who wouldn't? There were talks about Kyle Wright building a hotel in Freedonia, an added investment to their small nation. "Stop it, Gerald. What's important now is to convince Gaby." He supposed Kyle Wright was just being harshly honest, and perhaps his granddaughter's traits were the reason he could not get Alistair to marry Veronica. When he made it to Gabrielle's room, he instructed, "Gaby. Come down with me. Wear something presentable. I will introduce you to the prince and a businessman with whom the royal family has made an alliance." Gabrielle was standing by he

"Mister Cromwell, is it true that you were trying to get in between Mister Wright and your granddaughter, Gaby? Despite them already being engaged?" Prince Adi probed while his brows further met. "I - I. Well, Prince Adi, you see. Marriage alliances have long been practiced in our country. And because - because Alistair Howard wanted to marry Gaby, we brought her here to fulfill her duties, one that her mother was not able to do so," Gerald answered reluctantly. His voice could not help but shudder as he spoke. "So you think! One Alistair Howard - the Howards! A family of thieves is better than Mister Kyle Wright!" At that point, the prince rose from his seat, angered by hearing the name. Turning to Kyle, he finally understood why the man put in so much effort in disclosing the Howards' long deceit to the royal family. At the prince's counter, Gerald found himself swallowing air down his throat. He sensed his throat dry up, struggling to answer. Again and aga

Putting down the flowers against the tomb, Kyle caressed the name that appeared on the marbled stone. He greeted, "Good morning, grandma." He turned to the one beside it, saying, "Hello, grandpa." On another grave, Kyle greeted, "Great-grandma, how have you been?" The Wright family visited the graves of the Davises; Matilda Davis, Sarah Davis, and Winfield Davis. Only Amanda and Daniel remained in their homes, merely watching through a video call. Already in their nineties, they could no longer manage to travel long distances. It was some time, two years ago, when Kyle's grandfather, Winfield, passed away. Despite Samantha bringing her mother home with them at the Wright mansion, Sarah followed her husband a few months shortly. "Daddy, who is Matilda again?" It was Gale who asked. Kyle caressed the young girl's head and called the rest of his children. He-reintroduced. He said, "Kids, remember great-gran

Another three years passed. Over time, Kyle had fully expanded business in Europe, following the successful marketing of Freedonia as a vacation destination. The Wright Diamond Corporation eventually started an online travel website, offering package tours where their hotels were exclusively located. With this development, Gabrielle and Kyle ultimately were able to bring their family to Freedonia, taking them for a tour around the gorgeous landscapes that resembled the Netherlands, plus the vast estate of the country's royal grounds. That trip was one of the most memorable ones for Kenneth, especially since he had rarely gone outdoors. All the more when the entire family settled in the Cromwell's manor, a historic, yet luxurious home, made of stones and bricks from the outside. When Kenneth and his siblings rushed to their room's balcony, their eyes widened and their mouths fell to the stunning views.

Two years passed. "Mommy! I love it!" Four-year-old Kenneth exclaimed, hugging Gabrielle and giving his Mommy a kiss! "Havaya, the best supplements for your kids! Try it!" Gabrielle said with a beautiful smile, her eyes glistening at the cameras! "And cut! Good job!" The director said after shooting a commercial that starred Gabrielle and Kenneth. It was because Gabrielle used the same supplement and had found it useful in boosting Kenneth's immune system that she willingly agreed to take the commercial. It was her very first, after many years, accepting a project. The entire time, following her, giving birth to the triplets, she produced two other shows at the BNC media on the sides, one of which received several awards, including the best action series of the year. With Denise working for her, everything was manageable. The best part was, she got to spend most of her time at home with the kids, merely going out for

Another year passed.Smiling in Kyle's arms, waiving and showing off a dimple on his right cheek, Kenneth clapped his hands, following the loud applause coming from his family."Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday, happy birthday dear Kenneth! Happy birthday to you!" The entire household sang in unison from within the second-carat conference room of the Second Diamond Hotel."Happy birthday, Kenneth boy!" exclaimed Ethan. "To our handsome little Kyle!" Added Kenzie, who happened to come just for that celebration, bringing along her entire family. Kenneth's second-year birthday was a reunion not to be missed!Even Gabrielle's grandparents from Freedonia took the time to visit since they missed last year's gathering. Diana often said in passing how their years were numbered and how they wished Gabrielle would visit Freedonia, but with Kenneth's condition, it was likely not possible—at least, not anytime soon. Over the past two years, only Kyle had visited Freedonia, merely checking

"Happy Birthday, Kenneth!" With a loud round of applause, the Wright family greeted Kenneth on his very first birthday, celebrated only amongst family and close friends within the first-carat conference room of The Second Diamond Hotel. Gabrielle stood in front of an elevated platform, holding her son with Kyle next to her. They had a table ready for Kenneth to crawl to and on top was a small round cake for him to shatter! Everyone saw the delight in Kenneth's eyes as he giggled his way to reach for the white cake.While everyone cheered him on, he tasted the frosting before finally indulging! "Atta boy!" Kyle exclaimed while he watched his son, blocking the side of the table, making sure he does not fall. "Eat some more!" "Ooops! Careful!" Gabrielle exclaimed, seeing her son move towards his father, giving Kyle a piece of cake! "Dada! Dada!" Kenneth called his father, urging him to taste the white frosted chocolate cake.&nb

"Good evening! This is the late nights with Tommy Hawks! Tonight, as promised, we have Gaby Taylor - Wright, live from their home, accepting our request for an interview." Tommy announced from his studio, walking as the cameras followed him. "As you may have heard, Gaby and her family had been through a difficult time, following an attack by an obsessed fan!" Tommy shook his head, hissing before resuming, "This resulted in Gaby's life and that of the child she carried, in danger." The show quickly showed a flashback of a news broadcast, detailing the crash that happened with Gabrielle and how it was reported that her life, including her unborn child, was in danger. "Now, over three months have passed. Many of you probably have several questions and thus, we made it possible to interview Gaby without coming all the way to Hollywood!" Tommy pointed to the huge screen on his set, and the cameras were quick to follow. Gabrielle was alrea

"Mom, Dad, thanks for coming over," Gabrielle said with a smile after opening the door of their penthouse. "Of course. We are happy to look after Kenneth for this afternoon." Samantha pecked on Gabrielle's cheek and held Gabrielle's hand, saying, "You do what you have to do." Behind Samantha, Ethan nodded and suggested, "Sometimes, you need to get it out of your chest. Be safe traveling." Looking past Gabrielle, Ethan asked, "Where is my grandson?" "The nurse is giving him a bath. He... just dirtied his diapers," Gabrielle answered, looking in the direction of their living room. After inviting her in-laws inside their home, she kissed Kenneth goodbye and made her way to the lobby of The Second Diamond Hotel. Kyle was already waiting for her, together with their new driver and bodyguard. Hopping into the car, she heard her husband ask, "Are you ready for this, Gaby? Are you sure you want to see?"
