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

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

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

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

"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
