But Gabbi suspected that Jen has something to do with it , because in this segment the judge gets to assign each contestant's song choice.She was just reluctant to steal because her line up was already full, But as she saw the girl's eyes began to tear up, eventhough she tried to project a calm and controled appearance. There was a tug in Gabbi's heart that she finally hits the button stealing the girl from the group of Jennifer, much to the applause and shouts of the audience that came to support the girl and much to the unhappiness of her former mentor, the smirk on Jen's face confirm her suspicion that she deliberately assigned the girl to have a bad p
Dane enjoy talking a walk near the river It gives him a sense of calmness away from the nagging of his family. he always brings his guitar with him sometimes taking inpiration on his surrounding ang start to compose songs sometimes he just play the guitar and play songs that comes to his mind. Right at this moment he thinks of Ella, the girl is somewhat a puzzel to him. Behind her spunkiness, fierceness and tenacity lies an innocent and fragile personality with so much bottled-up emotions ready to explode anytime which makes her attract this attention and gives him the feeling that he wants to protect her just like what her brother does.he started to ply his guitar after setlling on the bench outside the hut that was use to be a stop over place. His playing with the string produce a song with the lyrics that makes him desccribe Ella. First time I saw her in them blue jeans, I knew that I'll be in for a treat. Next thing I know sh
When the water level of the river goes down and the bridge was passable he called for a rescue to carry Ella comfortably back to the house. When they reach home he immediatelly call Gab to let him know of what is happening in the resort and then he and her workers goes around to assess the damage that the storm brought. Ella on the other hand was attended by their house keeper as she knows what to do and how to attend to her condition, it seems she had forgotten again her medication and somehow developed an infection as she was expose longer in the cold and rain. "How are you feeling Ella?" He asked her when he visited her in her room to give an update in the situation on the resort. "I'm feeling better Dane, thanks for looking after me I would not know what will happen to me if you were not there, so how extensive is the damage after the storm? " she asked weakly. "There's not much damage it's a good thing that we were able to m
"What is the meaning of this Ella? You and Dane stayed overnight only the two of you in that place, are you thinking of your reputation Ella? You are giving the workers something to talk about." she obviosly fake her reaction, actually she knowingly told the driver not to fetch them so as for them to have no choice but to stay the two of them together and hoping that something may come out of it. After a few days when Dane and Ella got stuck in the storm, Sophie deliberately manipulated the situation this time for her husband to witness."Aunt Sophie if the driver had return earlier we will be able to return not having to spend the night out in the cold. We didn't do anything wrong if that's what you are implying." She is getting pissed with Sophie's meddling."But think about the people who will talk, your reputation getting tarnished, the embarassment your father will experience if these things will blow into proportion." She insisted to make
When Gab arrived the following day what he expected to be a happy reunion with his sister became a disaster. Nana Gloria told him how Sophie and her daughter connive to break the bond that the father and daughter start to build. Furiuosly he confronted his father." For goodness sake Dad why do you allow your wife to meddle with the running of this place, didn't we agreed that we will leave Ella to have free acces on the management of the resort and I can tell that she is doing a great job. we cannot control the forces of nature to act on its own. Why do you have to criticize the close ness of Ella and Dane? She is my sister and he is my bestfriend if there is someone knows them it should be me . I trust Dane and Ella needs a friend to get over her sickness. Someone to talk to things that she cannot tell us . Do you know that Dane make it a point to check on her medication and keep a record on it to show it to her doctor? This comes to show that he cared for her for
After three days Ella woke up from her induced sleep conducted by her doctor to rest and regain her body stamina and give her peace of mind. She looked for Dane who already left going back to his family. Gab was able to control the situation by sending his faher and his family back to the city, banning his step-mother and step-sister to step in the resort with out his permission to avoid a clash with Ella while she is recuperating, his father didn't contest to this, to the disgust of Sophie thinking that her husband is powerless against his children and realizing that her plan of taking over the management of the resort has failed. But it didn't stop her from concocting another plan to realized her dream. Julia on the other hand grieves silently that her hope of being with Dane had come to an end. Dane has already return to the States to be with his family. When he left he handed a letter to Nana Gloria for Ella once she wakes up fom her induced sle
Ella steps out of the airport and looks for a taxi and check-in herself into hotel, she took the earliest plane going to her destination leaving a note to her brother not to look for her as she needs time to find herself saying that this is the thing she has do on her own. and not to worry for she will take care of herself.After checking in a hotel she proceed to find Dane. she tried to remember the conversation they have before so as to be able to find a place where to start. "Oh I should have planned how to go about this before coming." She now regrets her impulsiveness of leaving without making a plan. But since she grow up around this place she have a better chance of finding him.

She became honest and downhearted ."I want to know how my daughter came to be in your care ,or is it just another way to fool us about the truth. I don't want my wife to have those attacks again knowing that she had been fooled again. If it happens again Anna, I will hold you responssible and I will chase you unto the ends of the earth just to make you pay." Alyanna looks at Dane with a sad eyes." When my father learned about my pregnancy, I cannot find who was with me that night, I have knew all along that Justin cannot impregnate. So I planned to drugged you and hold you responsible. But Justin came instead of you the rest you knew what happen
Through all this time Yael have never ceased to plan in winning Gabbi's affection. when he learned of the marriage of Dane and Gabbi, He cried and vowed that not even that piece of paper that bind them could stop him from getting what he wanted. and that is Gabbi. Now that she had lost her memory would be the right time for him to interfere with their union.The other day he saw her and talk to her without her assistant knowing he bribe one of the bodyguards saying that he just wanted to have her sign his authograph . The guards seeing no harm in that allowed him. He lured her to see him again secretly to know the whereabouts of her baby. but warn her not to tell anybody.

Gabbi was summoned by the court to appear on the last day of the hearing. Dane almost did not allow her to appear citing health issues he was afraid that her experiences will trigger her previous illness. But May assured him that Gabbi is stronger now far from the Ella he had known before. She is able to contain her emotions and had better control of her feelings.The hearing has a very tight security protocol that only Dane, Gabbi and George was allowed to attend.. When Gabbi testify on the last day, Julia was shooting venomous glares towards her. but Gabbi was not faced off with the intimidation.She answered well to all the interrogations being asked nailing Julia as the elusive Jadis. When the sentence was read She went wild and attack Gabbi just as Dane put Gabbi behind her, and George appeal to her."Julia my dear stop, we never meant to cause you misery.

Gabbi turned around come face to face with the only man she ever loved."Baby I am here. I went to have a word with one of the official. " Gabbi look at Dane and got ashamed of how she look compared to the healthy glow on his face compared to her unhealthy palor and malnourished appearance. She took a step backwards."Gabbi, Baby what's wrong?""I... I am not good to look at...I... " She stutter just like the first time they hug. Dane hug her so tight and kiss her , so tenderly to erased any doubts she have in her heart. Gabbi let out the emotions she had bee holding fo a very long time, the fears that she will never see again Dane her family. At the thought of her family Gabbi remembered."
