I'M IN LOVE WITH MY BEST FRIEND Samantha's arrival
The next morning, Gianna was in the garden, already working with Nicholas, Pappy and Dean. The sun was high in the sky but yet, the weather was cool making work easier for them."I'm glad we won't be going to the red garden soon. It looks too creepy.... don't you think?" Gianna said as she pointed her hose towards fine rows of pink blossoming flowers."The red rose gets cleaned up every six days. No one is expected to go close to the red garden unless you have the permission to do so. It's a private territory, no go area." Nicholas said.Gianna was so absorbed in what Nicholas was saying and unconsciously pointed the hose at him, splashing water on his body and face."Awwww!!" Nicholas growled, feeling the power of the water as he moved back.Instead of apologizing, Gianna chuckled and bursted into laughter.Nicholas blinked, wiping water from his face. "Oh really? Alright! I gat this!" He yelled and pointed his own house at her, splashing water all over Gianna as she ran around.Papp

Gianna glanced up and saw Samantha walking into the kitchen. "Huh.... nothing. Just wanted to help her out. She looked tired."Samantha stood and folded her arms. "Will you like to be an house boy instead?" She asked."Huh?"Samantha nodded. "Yes. An house boy. You will be her assistant. Do you want that?"Gianna sighed with a smile. "Is that possible?"Samantha was silent. "Yes miss Samantha! I will really love that!" Gianna quickly replied.Layla stared at Gianna feeling miserable. She knew she was the reason why the young lad was taking the job."I will get it done then." Samantha said. She looked at Layla and left the kitchen again."Wow. Isn't she nice?" Gianna asked and Layla nodded."Yes she is but in a strange way." **Harley sat on his favorite chair in the living room, his hand resting on his lap. One could tell he was in a bad mood that morning as he stared at the TV. Even though he was staring at the colorful screen, his mind was totally not there. He was lost in thoug

Tristan came out of his car as two of his boys walked up to him. They locked his car, took his keys with them back to the building.Tristan stood outside for sometime. He stood outside the main entrance, thrust his hands into his pocket and smiled cunningly. It was almost time. His plans were working accordingly. If Samantha knew she was dealing with. Only if she knew she was dealing with someone who was secretly going to kill her father."Boss." Matteo's voice sounded from behind.Tristan breathed in but didn't glance at him. "What's new?""Elvis dropped a message."Tristan slightly turned to look at him. "What's it about?""Iris is gradually becoming the new ruler of the Bruno family. Aren't you going to do something about it?" Matteo asked worriedly.Tristan shook his head. "Let her enjoy it while it lasts. It won't be for long. I have to get something done before taking them down. Matteo." Tristan called."Yes boss.""I need someone. Tonight." "I will get that done immediately
I'M IN LOVE WITH MY BEST FRIEND The blood stain
Tristan stood in front of a large screen. The big room was still empty. The boys were yet to resume for the day.He was visibly angry. He didn't mean to show off his anger that way but the girl crossed the line. He heard the door open and Matteo came into the room. "You made two mistakes in a row Matteo. Need I remind you how I do these things?"Matteo sighed and bowed. "I'm sorry boss. I shouldn't have allowed her into your room or make her stay longer than necessary. I'm sorry."Tristan turned to look at him. "I don't want it ever to repeat. Ever." Matteo bowed again, turned and left the tech room.**Gianna was in the kitchen with Layla, making breakfast. She was happy, helping the woman.Layla walked towards her with a bowl of fresh soup in her hand. She handed it over to Gianna and smiled. "You don't know how happy I am that you are here. You are really helping me a lot. Thank you."Gianna rolled her eyes. "Oh come on. It's not as if I'm doing it got free. I'm actually gonna g
I'M IN LOVE WITH MY BEST FRIEND The dinner date
Samantha stood in front of her huge mirror, observing her purple long and fitted gown. She had a huge happy smile on her face. She was looking good; so sexy. She turned here and there, checking out herself. "Mabel!" She called out to her maid who walked in few minutes later."Miss Samantha. You called?""How's the dress?" Mabel smiled, huge dimples staining her cheeks. "It is beautiful Miss Samantha. You are looking like a princess."Samantha smiled. "Thank you. Help me select the perfect footwear.""Yes, Miss Samantha." Mabel replied with a bow, turned and walked towards a large shoe rack where different shoes were well arranged.Mabel stood in front of the shoe rack, determining the shoe to pick out. She glanced back at Samantha, looking at her dress one more time. She turned back, picked up a pair of black heels and headed back to Samantha. "This will match perfectly well Miss Samantha.""Thanks Mabel. You can go now.""But...""Just do as I say. I can wear them myself." Samanth

How could she be so much in love with someone she barely knows? She was getting scared for herself yet she couldn't stop the feelings from growing eveey now and then.She thought about the hot kiss they had in the car and imagined how she would feel if he made love to her.And come to think of it.....why did he hold down her hands while they kissed?Samantha couldn't pinpoint the reason why but she'd loved it all together.She took off her dress and tied her pink robe around her nakedness.Her phone began ringing from her purse and she picked it up at the third ring. "It's late, Mr Welch.""I prefer you calling me Ethan. It's late....we are not working." A soft voice sounded from the other line.Samantha rolled her eyes. "Why did you call?""Come on, Samantha. We've known each other for years now. Can't I at least call to check up on
I'M IN LOVE WITH MY BEST FRIEND Edward's visit
Ethan Welch sat at a corner in front of the bar, watching the stripers dance with his wine in his hand. He always visited the nightclub whenever he wasn't working just to have a drink or two. Tonight was somehow different. He was there not only because he wasn't working, but also because he was anger. Devastated.

"Gianna's only 23 if my guess is right. What would she do on her own?" Edward asked.Tracy smiled and shrugged. "She's a strong girl, Edward. She's only been a strong girl even before her sister's death. I don't regret sending letting her go because I know she's gonna come back to me. I've only ney missing her but not with regret." Tracy said.Edward was looking at her. He really felt sorry for the woman. "I have something to tell you, Tracy. I should have told you this a long time ago. My conscience keeps pricking me any time I remember I kept this information away from you."Tracy moved forward in her seat, her eyes on him. "Okay.... Edward. Please tell me whatever it is. Is it something I should be worried about?" Edward sighed. "No. I just feel so guilty for keeping it away from you.""It's okay Edward. Whatever it is....I'm sure it wasn't your fault.""Quentin....has another family." Edward spilled the beans and watched Tracy's reaction. He was however, shocked to see her smilin

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
I'M IN LOVE WITH MY BEST FRIEND Reconciliation
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. He threw the phone on the seat beside him and drove out of the compound, speeding away madly in the dark.**Nelson bursted into the room, rushing towards Gianna who looked very alarmed. The sounds of siren was all over the place which indicated that the police were around. Nelson grabbed Gianna, loosening the ropes bounding her. He jerked her up to her feet and started dragging her out of room.Struggling

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

"Where have you been?" Agnes asked, standing up from the couch.Samantha looked at Quentin, she couldn't bring herself to tell him that his daughter was missing but she had to tell him somehow."I'm coming from Gianna's house...""Is something wrong?" 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. Quentin frowned, trying to understand what the girl was saying. "What do you mean by she's been abducted? By who?""My brother." Samantha replied with more tears.Agnes gasped, her hands covering her mouth. "Nelson?" Samantha nodded.Samantha nodded."Why? Why would he do that?"

"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. He stood beside the road, glaring angrily. "Put Gianna on the line, I want to make sure she's fine." *Nelson stared down at Gianna and smiled ev
I'M IN LOVE WITH MY BEST FRIEND Threats
"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

Gianna was coming back into the house after seeing Samantha off when her phone began to ring. She was a little bit surprised to see it was Nicholas."Hi. You finally called? How have you been!" Gianna asked excitedly."I've been... good...yeah... fine." Nicholas stammered badly from the other line."Are you sure you are okay? You sound tensed. Where are you now?""Huh?" 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."

The next morning, Gianna woke up feeling really sick. She sat up in bed, rushed to the bathroom and threw up."Oh no. I thought I got over this." She mumbled as she returned to her bed.Her mother must have heard her because she came running into the room."Gianna." She called, coming into the room. "Are you okay?"
