As Gabriella stepped out of the cafe, a frown appeared on her face as she got back into the car. It was supposed to be a marriage of convenience but Gabriella didn't know what was going on. She had no idea of what was going on in her head or with her body at all.Even though she knew Diego had zero feelings for Stephanie, she couldn't conceal the hate in her heart at all. She sighed as she threw her head backwards and different thoughts began racing through her head.The driver turned into the premises of Rodriguez Corporations and Gabriella glanced at the tall building indifferently."What did you just say?" Diego asked again."Miss Omo arrived in the country late yesterday night and blocked MissGabriella 's way while coming back from school. They had a discussion in a cafe" his secretary replied as Diego raised an eyebrow."Is Beth okay?" Diego asked as the secretary winced and dropped a laptop in front of Diego . His wife had brutally murdered the other woman eventhough she was c
Diego stared at the teary lady in front of him as he rubbed his forehead."Why didn't you tell me you were coming back?" He asked quietly as Stephanie swallowed her saliva."I wanted to surprise you," Stephanie said with a small smile as Diego nodded."Fair enough. I was really surprised when I heard that you had gone to visit my wife" Diego said as Stephanie paled slightly before wearing an aggrieved expression."Didn't we agree to marry each other?Didn't you agree to wait for me?"Stephanie asked as Diego wore a surprised expression."We?" He asked."You and who?" He asked again as he smiled, his smile not in any way looking like a smile."You were the only one who made those decisions yourself. I have nothing to do with them" Diego said as Stephanie felt her heart being squeezed directly."Diego !" She exclaimed."How could you do this to me?"Stephanie asked in pain."Do what to you?" Diego asked clearly not affected by whatever face Stephanie was making."You know how much I lov
Gabriella had long admitted that whatever everyone said about Diego online was a big lie and a complete mess. Whether be it the part of him being a cold statue or him being unable to relate with other people because with her, he never exhibited those traits or characteristics. Whether he was pretending or not, she had no idea but one thing she knew for sure was that he was always relaxed at home.Unconsciously after being a marriage with him over a month, Gabriella found herself always wanting to hurry home, wanting to wait for Diego to come back home, waiting for him so she could share all the details of how her day went. Her friends thought that this was normal; after all they were in love, only Gabriella knew that it wasn't in the least normal. It wasn't normal. It was a marriage where she was supposed to be a free bird, maybe date and then spend money. She wasn't supposed to start getting feelings for him but Gabriella knew better.Fear and emotions entangled together leaving her
Both Diego and Gabriella arrived home at the same time. Diego raised an eyebrow as soon as he walked into the house and saw Gabriella trying to remove her sneakers."You just got home?" he asked asGabriella nodded her head."Yeah. Stayed at Alex's ward while coming back from school" Gabriella replied."Ohhh. Being a while we've gone to see him. How's he now?" Diego asked asGabriella smiled."He's responding well to treatment but he's still very weak. He can barely stand on his feet for more than ten minutes" Gabriella replied as Diego chuckled as they walked into their room."That's an improvement if you ask me.Could he even stand at all before?"Diego asked as Gabriella smiled."I guess so" Gabriella said as Diego nodded her head."I have a quick meeting with someone.Wash up, I'll be downstairs with you in a bit" Diego said as he walked into his study and closed the door behind him.Gabriella raised an eyebrow at the door as she chuckled. She suddenly realized that she hadn't eve
At exactly two minutes past 11pm, the person watching the CCTV cameras for the server room noticed abnormalities but as he was instructed before, he didn't make any movements. All he did was dial a number on the telephone beside him and the latter picked up on the first ring."The guest is here" he muttered."Then no worries. Do not alert him, allow him do whatever and let him leave" a feminine voice replied him."Yes Director" he said as he dropped the telephone back curious as to what the person wanted to do.Barely less than fifteen minutes later, he watched the person fully masked attach another device to one of the severs and as quietly as he came, he disappeared. Even he had to admire the skills of the intruder. He was too good but unfortunately, he wasn't good enough.Gabriella yawned as she laid on the bed stretching her legs while scrolling through her Instagram, unlike interacting with others in person, Gabriella preferred to scroll their pages on Instagram and go through t
Diego turned to his younger brother slowly as he furrowed his brows."What do you mean by do I know if she took a tech course?" Diego asked asNoah shrugged his shoulders."I asked you if you knew" Noah replied as Diego shrugged his shoulders."I don't know" Diego replied as Noah nodded."Why? You saw something?" Diego asked as Noah pursed his lips."Yesterday at Alex's; the way she was using her computer, one would think she was an hacker" Noah said as he burst into laughter."But then Alex said his sister did a lot of weird things to make sure he was able to receive treatment" Noah said as he folded his arms."Is there a way to schedule an overseas check up? I really want him to get better" Noah added while Diego turned to him."You as much as handle that yourself or can't you?" Diego asked as Noah swallowed his saliva quietly."You know about it?" He asked quietly as Diego laughed.*I'm not your elder brother with just a title okay?" Diego replied as he nodded."Talk to Like, he'll
Diego had hung up the phone without any hesitation. He had already had a hunch of who had told Stephanie about Gabriella, he just wanted to be sure.Right from their elementary school all the way to middle school to high school, Stephanie had always put Leon in trouble. None of them knew why but Leon was always taking the fall for her either intentionally or unintentionally.All the time.Neither of the boys could understand whether it was Leon who was the extremely stupid one and couldn't smell trouble when he saw one orStephanie was the extremely smart and coy one. They all never understood.Diego was really mortified to realize that even after they had grown up, Stephanie would still use Leon to her advantage. A lot of times, he never really knew what was going on in Leon's head.It was an hard gamble that always have him an headache. Resting his head on the sofa, he reclined on his seat as his younger brother words came back tohim.Flashback.Diego turned to his younger brother
"Oh hi Fenji" Mona greeted rather with excitement while Angel smiled up at him. Gabriella was sure she could easily see the reflection of Lu Feni's image in Angel 's eyes."Oh hi, could I borrow Angel for an hour?" Fenii asked and it was as if he did some thinking because the very next moment, his words were changed immediately."No, two hours. Three hours" he said glancing in between the girl who all wore amused looks at this time."For the rest of the day?" he asked carefully but yet the confidence he had always excluded remained on his face."Who are you?" Gabriella asked as a look of confusion appeared on Feni's face."Excuse me?" He asked carefully as he finally gave Gabriella his attention." asked you who you were" Gabriella replied as she folded her arms while staring at him as well."You don't have a name or you don't have an identity?" Gabriella asked asMona covered her mouth trying not o laugh or disrupt the serious atmosphere; Gabriella wasn't going to let her go scot f
