Leah scoffed and walked away while Gianna slowly walked into the room. She saw Tristan standing in front of his window, his hands thrust into his pocket as she stared out.

Gianna stood behind him, few miles away and sighed softly. "I'm.... deeply sorry for being rude...boss." she mumbled, staring at at him.

Tristan was silent. He didn't turn, bulge or say anything.

Gianna tucked her hair behind her ear nervously and shrugged. "Okay fine. Do whatever you want to me. Punish me or anything. I deserve it. I shouldn't have spoken to you that way."

Silence.

Gianna sighed and turned. When she got to the door, she heard Tristan's deep sigh and turned.

"Even though you attacked me with your words, it's still true. I've never felt what it is like to have a mother. Never even imagined what it is like." Tristan mumbled, still staring out of the window.

Gianna was feeling very bad now. She wanted to slap herself for making him feel this way. She couldn't believe that some body so mean and cruel c

    Few hours later, the result from the DNA test was sent to Tristan.He stood in his private room, the result in his hand. He was afraid to look inside the sheet just yet as he prepared himself for the worst.When he was certain that he was ready to look inside, he got the sheet from the envelope and opened it.His eyes scanned the content of the paper and slowly, it slipped out of his fingers and floated to the ground.

"Boss ...""I can't remember the last time I told you you can suggest or question my orders, Matteo." Tristan cut in, his voice cold.Matteo quickly bowed. "I'm sorry boss.

    "You are a dominant." Gianna said again staring deeply into Tristan's eyes.Tristan stared back at her, shrugged his shoulder. "Does that bother you? Are you too big to surrender in bed?"

    Samantha shook her head and laughed. "No. That's not possible, it can't be. No." She said, moving away from Tristan. "My brother will never do that. He's not capable of such thing! No!" "You have to calm down." Tristan admonished.Samantha turned around to look at him. "Do you even know what you are saying? Kidney? Killing people and taking out their kidney? That's a lie. It's not true.""Okay. You said you followed them? Where exactly did you see them?""Underground...they came out to the waterside and some men down there, waiting" Samantha answered."What were they carrying? Did you see them carrying anything as you followed them?" Tristan asked again and Samantha nodded."The food flask." "What do you think was inside that food flask?

    "You sounded so sure." Layla said, looking at Gianna.Gianna blinked and looked away. "I'm just giving you the support and courage that you need, I don't want you to lose hope just yet.""Thank you, Gianna. Thank you so much. You are the daughter I never had." Layla said with a smile.Gianna smiled at the woman. "I want to tell you something though."Layla nodded, listening."I don't think I can stay here anymore. Yeah. I need to leave."

Samantha replied."Why?""I called my mother, I told her to get me out of here." Tristan stared at her. "Isn't that dangerous? You shook have waited for some days before making that call.""I know but I'm just scared. I can't stay here anymore. It's scaring." Tristan shrugged. "I understand. Be careful.""Thanks.

His mother.She was beautiful and young despite the poor care of her body.He quickly turned away when Layla turned to look at him.

Where did she go to?""She went back home. Washington DC." Layla replied.Tristan blinked and looked away. "I see...I will be heading out now." Layla stared at him as he left. She could feel it in her mind that all was not well. She went after him. "Boss..."Tristan snapped around angrily. "Yes? What do you want? What is it!"Layla moved back, startled at the outburst.

    It was a little bit dark in the room when Tristan walked in. Gianna was awake, she was sitting up quietly."Hey." Tristan whispered as he walked towards the bed. He sat at the edge and took Gianna's hand in his. "How are you now?"Gianna smiled and shrugged. "I've never been any better. Thank you."Tristan stared down at her stomach, smiled and looked back into her face. "My baby is still down there?"Gianna chuckled. "Yeah. She or he is still there, waiting for the day of arrival into the world. How did you get here? Why did you change your mind?"Tristan shrugged. "I don't know, perhaps... because I couldn't continue living without you, because I wanted to see Layla and to forgive her so I could get the burden off my chest.""You did the right thing, Tristan. The right thing..." Gianna's voice trailed off when she remembered all that Nelson had said."What's it? Are you okay?" Tristan questioned when he noticed the sudden change in her mood. Gianna turned and looked at him. "While

    That same night, Tristan left the house quietly. He was glad that both his mother and Tracy were already fast asleep and that made it possible and easy for him to leave.He dialled the line which Nicholas had called him with as he walked briskly to his car. Just when he got in, Nicholas picked the call."I'm on my way right now, send the address to this number." Tristan said, starting the car engine."I already sent it. The police are just arriving! I will hang up now because I have to escape. He's going to kill me.""Wait... what is...?" Tristan stopped when the line clicked off.

    Nicholas sat in the dark, thinking deeply on what to do. He needed to save Gianna at all cost, he needed to redeem his mistakes and real fast.He was still finding it hard to believe he helped abduct Gianna who was pregnant."I'm never going to forgive myself if anything happens to her, I need to talk to Tristan right away. No matter the consequences, I need to do this." Nicholas thought.He stood up and walked slowly towards the main entrance. He stood in front of the door, eavesdropping. He could hear Nelson, talking to Gianna. He backed the door, steadying his breath. He would have to wait for another opportunity to be alone with Gianna again, and that would enable him get Tristan's contact.Quietly, he left the main entrance back to the veranda.**"You're not going to achieve anything with what you are doing, give up already because you are about to hit rock bottom." Gianna said softly to Nelson who was seated in front of her.Nelson stared down at the cigarette between his fin

Quentin asked when Samantha's voice trailed off.Samantha nodded, closing her eyes. "Gianna is missing, someone abducted her." Samantha said, wiping tears off her face.

    "He's calling again." Nelson laughed when Gianna's phone began to ring again in his hand. He answered the call and put the phone on loud speaker. "You never give up, don't you? Why don't you give up and just go to bed?""What do you want?" Tristan cold voice came from the other side of the line. "Tell me what he sh*t you want!" "I don't think you have what I want, b*stard. Do you have my father there with you? I will like to exchange him for your Gianna. She looks so pretty, you know. What shall I do with her?" Nelson asked in a menacing tone. "Why would I have you father? What the hell do you want?" Tristan asked again."Are you asking me that? You brought down my family you jerk! My father is suffering away in the prison and you dare ask me that? You want Gianna back, huh? Come find her.""Where are you?" Tristan asked in a stiff voice.

    "Goddamit!" Tristan cursed, almost smashing the phone on the ground.Samantha was trembling. She just spoke to her brother and he sounded like a different person entirely."He's got Gianna! What are we gonna do!" Samantha panicked.Tristan stood akimbo, boiling and fuming with anger. "He doesn't know who he's dealing with. He's making a bug mistake with me." Tristan voice was extremely cold and deep.Samantha trembled more. She fear she might lose her brother and she couldn't stop thinking about Gianna. Why would Nelson ever think of abducting her? Why her? Sammy thought deeply."I should call Tracy and Layla, and let them know what's happening." Samantha said with trembling voice.Tristan didn't reply, he was too devasted to say anything. He sat down on the nearest sofa, contemplating on what to do."Don't call them yet." Tristan said just when Samantha was going to dial Tracy's line. "What? They have to know what's happening. At least, her mother." Samantha chipped in."I need to t

Nicholas asked and Gianna had to repeat the question. "I'm still here in Philadelphia. Stranded." He replied."Oh no. That's very awful. What are you gonna do now? I can't seem to be of help right now." Gianna sighed. She got home and walked into the house, sat down on a chair."It's fine, Gianna. I just wanted you to know I'm okay. I will get a job soon enough and start all over again.""And your dad? How's he?" "He returned to the country side where my mother is. I think that's what's best for him at this month."
