The next morning , Gabbi went to their flower garden to oversee the hasvesting, but since they are short staff because of the bigger number of the tourist booked for the weekend, she help in cutting the blooms, which will be later on pack carefully in a safe box and send it to their buyers. Their orders came unexpectedly because of the death of a known personality and an elaborate funeral is being prepared.She was so focus in cutting the blooms of the Roses because they are delicate and they applied to it insecticide to protect it from parasites.She was so focus in what she is doing, when she heard that unmistakably deep southern drawl coming from her side."Good Morning Ella," She was so surprised that she dropped the cutting scissors straight to her other hand and wounded the wrist"i'm sorry! " She said that Dane was also surprised by her reaction."What for?" He began to recall what Gab told him about Ella'
The days that follws, Dane and Ella started to be close to each other. Ella began to trust and grow to be comfortable in his presence. Dane on the other hand try to uncover some of the truth behind Ella's condition through the stories she share about her childhood. They enjoy each others company, Ella would explain to him How the farm operates. They have tourist regularly, some come by for a day and some stay overnight, or book for days.They have separate accomodations for these people, situated a distance from the main house and the livestock, it is condusive for seminars , team building, purely educational or retreat. Dane learned that she developed this ideas all by herself when she first saw this farm.

Dane observed that she have
Ella was so pissed of with both mother and daughter. They monopolize the conversation at the dinner table and hardly took notice of her. It was just alright if it's only the two of them, they can bust their lips with their endless chatter. The problem is they include Dane . He made some steps to change the topic to a common ground but to no avail. But in fairness he was a good conversationalist and well mannered, he answered most of the inquiries.Her bottled up discomfort cause her the inability to sleep, so she took her robe and slipped to the porch in her room she inhaled the cool breeze that is calming her senses. She wondered why did their father left them. They were such a happy family back then although she sense that there is something wrong as she can hear her mom crying to sleep and her dad slamming the door before he went for a drive and return in the morning with alcohol in his breath. That was before the things escalated and developed it into new dimension. The b

Jennifer insisted." Jen, she is already sta
At night before retiring for bed Gabbi stares at her reflection on the mirror, she realize that they did have facial similarities she and Danni, except for Danni's Blue piercing eyes and Greyish blond hair. Gabbi has a greyish eyes that contrasted her lighter shade of brown hair she inherited from her mother. She dyed it to darker shade to hide its natural color. That child she couldn't help but think of the child she lost, She may have been as old as that little girl who seems to be always reminding her of those days when she was a naive girl and confused acting on a whim. The next day having been recovered from the heated discussion all the member of the judges and the staff resume their work.

The new Alyanna is far from the formidable and snobbish that Gabbi came to know. 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."

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.

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.

" 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."
