Chapter 31
Gabriella patiently waited for Diego to come back and much to her disappointment; he didn't come back until night. Gabriella contemplated within her before she decided to tell him the truth."Hey" Gabriella greeted him whileDiego nodded perfunctorily."Are you better now?" Diego asked asGabriella winced at his reply before seating back on her bed staring into space without replying to Diego's questions."One morning like every other day, my dad left home for work. He said he would be back in the evening" Gabriella started as Diego sat himself on the cushion patiently listening to whatever Gabriella has in store for him."But he didn't come back," Gabriella added as she chuckled."He didn't come back the second day or the third day or the fourth or the fifth day. He didn't come back a week later or a month later or two months later or half a year later and even one year later and even years now no one knows where he is" Gabriella muttered."Two months after my father disappeared, I c

A hug?Gabriella stood frozen in Diego 's hug without moving. Was this her last hug with Diego ? Why was he hugging her?Holding the other girl in his arms, Diego didn't know what to say. Her heart and mind was in turmoil and different thoughts were running through his mind. He knew that Behany hadn't gone in depth with her story and had just summarized the whole story for him and he knew that there was much more to the whole story.Losing your only parent at eight and being left to fend for yourself, Diego almost couldn't bring himself to imagine it. She was left alone to cater for herself without anybody on her side to help her.How did she manage while growing up? In fact life had forced her to grow up earlier.That's why at the age of twenty, she looked like she had lived life for almost forty years after all growing up, and she had only seen the harsh and fiery part of life.Diego pulled her closer to him, pressing her head further into his embrace. He had long realized that th

"So happy that you and Diego settled your differences" Mona said as she chuckled while Gabriella shook her head."I Mean, I and Angel had been wriggling our heads together looking for ways to get Diego to talk to you. We said we were going to see him in his office if you guys still didn't settle" Mona added as Gabriella chuckled softly."Thank you guys. Thank you so much"Gabriella replied as Angel laughed.'It's all okay now. You two have settled and that's okay now" Angel replied as they laughed.It's been barely a week since she and Diego got back together, it's been barely a week since she came clean about her identity and what her story was to Diego.After promising the latter not to hide anything from him, she came clean about a lot of the other stuff too and Diego didn't also mince words in telling the little secrets about him too. She had also been shocked to realize that Diego was also a hacker and although he refused to tell her his hacking ID, she figured out he wouldn't, m

"A visitor?" Diego asked with his eyebrows furrowed."Miss Omo said she's here to help you with Gabriella 's case" Andrew whispered as Diego chuckled.Put a call across to Director Fiona.They have to find Gabriella quickly"Diego replied as he turned to the female."Hold it. Do not hack into the Shaw family security system" Diego said as the female nodded."Yes sir" she said as Diego stepped out of the room and took the elevator.There was no expression on his face but the emotions in him were raging crazily but his calm face even scared people more. No one knew what he was thinking at all.Diego strode into his office with Andrew behind him. Stephanie was seated down on one of the cushion's quietly sipping her coffee. Diego sat down on the cushion in front of her and crossed his legs."What help do you want to offer?"Diego asked as Stephanie smiled quietly at him."Calm down Diego . Nothing is going to happen to Gabriella as long as you agree to my terms" Stephanie replied as Andr

"Shut up" Who do you think you are?" He growled at her as he chuckled."You are just some toy that Shame is playing with; you know why he marrieed you? That's because grandfather asked him to. That old man has a lot of stupid rules in his head and so my lovely cousin used you. Why are you feeling so high up?' Vanter asked as Gabriella burst into laughter."This is the exact reason why I said you are stupid. When you know that Diego is just using me, then is kidnapping me not just useless. What makes you think he will give up a huge company like the Rodriguez Corporations to save someone that he's just using like me?" Gabriella asked as she laughed again."The act of kidnapping me to control Diego is stupid then thinking that he would give up such a huge company for me is ridiculous. If you kill me now, maybe you'll be able to find something else to control Diego and make him give you the company" Gabriella added as she smiled at Vanter."But then, I admire your courage, messing wit

Diego and Gabriella held onto each other quietly as the doctor prescribed drugs to Gabriella and walked out of the ward while Diego kissed the back of Gabriella 's hand."You'll be fine in a day or two" Diego said as Gabriella smiled while nodding her head."I know" Gabriella said as she stared atDiego smiling with crystals in her eyes."Why are you looking at me like that?"Diego asked, smiling quietly with her as well."You don't know why?" Gabriella asked as Diego shook his head."I don't know why. Tell me" Diego replied as Gabriella smiled."For a long time, I tried to imagine you being in love with me and all and yet reality kept hitting me in the face, like, Gabriella get a grip on yourself; there's no way Diego 's gonna like you, do you have any idea in which the circumstances in which you two got married?" Gabriella asked in reply as Diego squeezed her hand tighter."And when I found that you actually liked me, loved me" Gabriella continued her voice getting smaller as she s

Gabriella watched as Diego walked into the study and closed the door behind him. He hadn't said a word since they had gotten home. He was almost like a zombie. Gabriella had already exhausted the words that she could use to convince him that everything was alright.For something that had never happened before, absolutely nothing was going to be alright. It was a disaster and until Director Fiona found out why and what had happened, Diego was in a precarious situation.She knew the only reason why Director Fiona didn't immediately detain Diego was because one, she couldn't two, she knew Diego wouldn't and couldn't disappear from the surface of the earth and three. Diego was as destabilized as them, even twice as destabilized.Gabriella removed the gown she had worn out and changed into a pair of jaggers and a tan top before she grabbed her laptop and placed it on the bed. Wiggling her fingers, she ran Her fingers on the keyboard and her system seemed to go blank before login details

The fact that Diego had gotten called back to the base the after told him at least they had found something when he had searched overnight and had come up with absolutely nothing at all.He and Gabriella hadn't really exchanged so much words the day before and even that morning when Diego got the phone call from Director Fiona, the only thing she had done was to tightly hold his hand and hold him with a strong gaze. Her meaning was clear, no matter what happened, she would stand by him.The drive to the base was quiet and silent and this time around, they passed through another entrance to the underground base. Director Fiona was already waiting for them. Diego raised his eyebrow at her attempt of wearing a smile."Good morning President Diego "Director Fiona said as she led them into the room they had entered the day before once again."I believe you have news for meDirector Fiona" Diego muttered in reply as he glanced at the huge screen in front of him while Director Fiona sighed

Gabriella had been seating down in from of the computer for almost an hour staring at the confidential information Director Fiona had held from her over the years. She didn't know whether to feel resentful or not.Diego 's parents of course weren't at fault, her father was just at fault of have being a very good agent and it was his unfortunate luck that made him got picked. She almost couldn't imagine how Diego must be feeling after the whole revelation. He discovered his parents weren't his parents and his parents as well high ranking agents.Why on earth would people as rich as that want to be a secret undercover agent?They went missing and there were no news about them?Gabriella was once marvelled at the efficiency of the Rodriguez family. She pursed her lips as she turned and saw Diego walking into the room with two other girls behind him. She subconsciously frowned as Director Fiona also stood up straight."President Diego " Director Fiona said as glanced at the duo behind h

It had been one week since Diego had joined hands with the CIA to find his parents and Gabriella 's father. Much to the CIA shock, the secrets that were been unrivalled were much huge that they thought and they had to bring in the higher ups. More evidences and more evidences were been found and what was more, everyone was certain that these agents that had disappeared for over fourteen years could still be somewhere waiting to be found and saved and this was even confirmed when a program was found and shockingly it was Morse code to tell the agency that one of the agents had rebelled and changed sides and they needed urgent help but somehow the program had mixed with other programs and seven years later, they were just seeing it.For everyone, they would easily say the week had been stressful and horrendous for them but for Diego and Gabriella , it had to be the time where their mental health was tasked the most. Ever since raw evidence had been found against her father, Gabriella
