Gianna came out of her room, yawning. She saw her mother walking into the kitchen. She rushed after her immediately. *What are you making, mom?" She asked, rbing her eyes.Yrsacy shrugged and smiled as she put her baking pan on the stove. "I'm gonna start with making some pancakes dear."" Wow. Everywhere looks so good. What are we celebrating?"Tracy laughed. " Must we have reasons to celebrate before we can have some nice smells in the house?"" Well, you look extremely happy, pretty and full of life. It's as if....you are in love mom. Are you getting back with Dad?"Tracy shook her head. " No my dear. I can't get back with your father, he has his family now of which you are part of but I can't get back with him."Gianna sat on a kitchen stoool. " But why mom? Why can't you just patch things with him? Are you gonna allow that Agnes of a woman take him away completely?"Tracy stopped what she was doing and looked at her daughter. "We've talked about this, my baby. Everyone is okay, A
Layla was in the garden, sitting down on the swing in the night. She moved slightly as she stared at the moon. She small smiey touched her lips as she remembered Gianna. " How are you, my dear? I hope you are doing just fine." Just then, her phone began to ring beside her. She quickly picked it up when she saw it was from Gianna. "Finally! You called!""I'm so sorry, Layla. How have you been?" Gianna asked softly.Layla frowned slightly. " I'm fine. Are you okay?" "Yeah. I'm just... having some changes in my system."" And why is that? Are you sick?"" Yeah...but in a good way." Gianna said and went silent for a while. She sighed and continued. "Layla... forgive me."Layla frowned again, wondering what she was talking about. "I don't understand, Gianna. What are you sorry about?"" I'm just saying sorry in advance...for the future."" What have you done wrong? Tell me, did you do anything to hurt yourself? Why are you sounding this way?" Layla asked." Nothing, okay? I'm just saying
Tristan sat on his bed, reminiscing about what Matteo had said to him. To distract himself for a while, he took the remote control and flipped on the TV.The news about Harry Finley and Jasper Milton came on. The mansion has been shut down, they've been sentenced and already taken to prison but Nelson had escaped, Tristan scoffed as he sat up on the bed. "That b*stard will never seize to amaze me. You can't hide, Nelson. Not after the innocent people you've killed." Tristan mumbled.He heard a knock on the door and looked up, wondering who it was."Come in." He answered.The door opened and Layla walked in. "Good morning boss." She greeted with her face down.Tristan stared at her, his eyes a little wider. He nodded, replying to her greeting. He looked away immediately and swallowed hard. "What do you want?"Layla stared up shd smiled. "I'm here to tell you that I will be leaving in few days time." Layla said and Tristan stared at her, totally silent. Layla had to repeat what she sa
They got to the house few minutes later and Gianna ushered Layla into the house. Tracy was very much around when they came and she was happy to finally meet Layla whom Gianna had talked so much about. "You are welcome, Layla." Tracy greeted with a light hug. " Thank you, Tracy. I've heard a lot about you from your daughter." Layla said with a smile." Oh please! Come and take a seat!" Tracy giggled, leading her into the small living room.Gianna stood by the door, watching the two women as they quickly made friends with each other. "Okay girls, I will be going now. I need to meet with my suster, I will be back before evening." Layla looked questioningly at Gianna. " I thought we had something to talk about?"" Yes, Layla. We have something to talk about but that will be when I get back. I need to see someone." Gianna replied. She turned and left the house, living the two women, chatting.**"You are late!" Samantha accused when Gianna finally showed up.Gianna rolled her eyes as t
Tristan stood outside the veranda, a glass of wine in his hand. He stood over the railings, staring down as he sipped his wine.He was thinking deeply about what to do. Since Layla left, he'd not been able to get her off his mind. He was contemplating on going after her, to tell her everything she needed to know but then, he still lacked the courage to take the step.His phone vibrated in his pocket, he took it out and saw it was a call from Gianna. He sighed and shook his head as he returned the phone to bid pocket."Layla's with her now. She must be calling because of her." Tristan concluded.Matteo came up behind him bowed. " Boss...the boys have arrived safely and everything is going according as planned."Did Elvis call? What did he say about Bella and her mother?"" They are still locked nup, boss. Just as you wanted." Matteo replied." Get me on the line with Elvis, I want to speak to Bella." Matteo stared at him. " May I ask why!""No, you may not." Tristan replied.Matteo b
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?" She asked as she sat beside her on the bed.Gianna shook her head, putting her head on the woman's shoulder. "No...I think I'm a little bit under the weather.""We have to go thr hospital then. Come on." Tracy urged, standing up."No. That's not necessary. I will get over it with some pills."Tracy sighed and stared down at her daughter. " Have you called the Tristan guy? What did he say?""He didn't the call, I guess he's busy." Gianna mumbled, laying back down comfortably.The door opened and Layla came in too. "Is she alright?" "Yeah...just a slight fever I guess." Tracy replied with a shrug."Then we should go to the hospital. It's dangerous to ignore it.""No, Layla.
Tristan made up his mind to go after his mother and sort things out.He went into his room and started getting ready for the small journey.There was a knock on the door and Matteo came in. "Boss...are you going somewhere?""Yeah. I'm taking your advice, I hope I'm not too late." Tristan said as he stuffed his clothes into a bag.Matteo smiled and sgihed his head. "You are not late, boss. Go on and do the right thing." He replied."I will be back tomorrow or the day after, then we can head back to Italy." Tristan said and Matteo nodded."Okay boss. Tahe your time... there's no hurry." Matteo replied and left the room.Tristan took his phone and dialled Samantha's line, she picked uo after the fourth ring."Tristan? I thought you would never call." Samantha's voice could be heard from the other line.Tristan sat down on the bed and ran a hand over his hair nervously. "I'm sorry, Samantha but things have not been easy. I need your help, I need to see Gianna.""Gianna? You miss her, don
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." Nicholas mumbled q reply."What happened to Nelson and his father though?" Gianna asked.The other side
