GABRIEL'S POV "Ohhhh, my boy!" Stacy cooed as she pulled me into her embrace. I had to bend so low, seeing as she was a petite woman. "Missed you." She muttered into my ear."Missed you too, Aunt." I grinned, making Enzo release a scoff behind me. Ever since Enzo informed his mom of my return to New York a week back, she had constantly pestered him to bring me over. I had been very busy the whole week, overseeing a handful of things to be done at the company site. But today, I promised myself I was going to see her."Come, dear." She pulled away from our embrace, taking my hand in hers and leading me to the tea room. "We have a lot of catching up to do! How are Beatrice and Luca? I heard Elena has decided to drop pharmacy and chase her culinary dreams. How is Nicola? Are you.....?""Mom, chiiiillll...." Enzo shook his head in disbelief. "So many questions, I doubt he would be able to remember any, and give you the responses you so desire.""Oh..." She paused, giving a sheepish smile

KAYLA'S POV "You what?" Lisa asked, her eyes going wide in shock. "I don't know how it happened. He had followed me to the garden and kissed me. I was even expecting..." I rushed out, until Beulah cut me off."Hold up!" Beulah demanded, so much amusement in her eyes. "How come you were in close proximity together with him again?" "The next day, Grandpa Zach had organized a welcome party for him." I explained."Chiiiillll...." Lisa cut interjected. "A whole lot isn't adding up. Zach organized a welcome party for Gabriel? That is quite shocking.""I thought so too." I nodded in agreement. "Turns out he wants Gabriel to be a part of the Pearson Group.""Okayyy.... This is a whole lot to digest. Go back and continue your narration, from after you had woken up at Gabriel's. Leave no detail." Beulah requested, looking very excited. Was this suddenly a joke to her?!"Go on already." Lisa pushed. Why did I feel like she was also slowly getting entertained by this?******************"Whoa

KAYLA'S POV "Wowww!! Beulah! This is beautifuuullll..." I grinned in satisfaction, as I looked over the place. I loved how she infused so much artistic designs around."I'm so glad you love it, honey!" She smiled. "The cleaning company we hired to clean up the place, would be here any time from now.""So after today, it is safe to say that our gallery is officially open!" Lisa exclaimed in excitement.Tears clogged my eyes, as I looked at my friends in appreciation. These past three weeks, they have both been very supportive towards the preparations and arrangements for the gallery's opening. "Girl, no time for that. Do. Not. Let. That. Tear. Drop." Lisa warned, hurrying over to the mahogany desk in my office, and picking up her bag. "We have a party to attend, and we should only go as late as could be fashionable. As it stands, we would be late late late.""True." I nodded, realizing time had flown past us. Tonight was for the celebration of Pearson Group's 25th anniversary, and i

GABRIEL'S POV With piqued curiosity, I watched as uncle Ricardo placed the huge bouquet of roses in Aunt stacy's arm. He was seated next to her on the round table."My condolences, Stacy." He muttered, clearly trying his best to not hold her gaze for long. "Are you trying to mock me or what?" She shot back, and Enzo's attention fell on them immediately. "Come on, mom." He muttered, a look of disappointment on his face. "I thought you both were gone past this?""I thought we were too." She opened her eyes wider, for emphasis. "But that was until a few seconds ago, when he put these flowers in my arm, with such crusty statement. Like he wasn't part of the people who took Barone's body away from me when....."She had been ssying a whole lot without giving a breathing break in between, until Uncle Ricardo cut her off."I'm sorry." He said, making her go mute instantly. "I am really sorry, Stacy." He added, now staring closely at her. Why did they lock eyes in such manner? Was I the onl

KAYLA'S POV."Rest well, mom." I whispered, while my dad gently patted down her hair."I would just see Kayla out, sweetie." Dad informed her, before standing up from the bed, where he sat beside my mom's lying frame."Goodnight mom." I said, walking out of her room with Dad following me behind. As soon as we got down to the living room, I turned to look at his confused face. "Where is Gabriel?" He asked."He's gone, dad. I saw him out." I replied blandly. "Did you really....?" He started, but paused midway, giving me a look of suspicion. "What?""Kayla....." He released a sigh, lowering himself onto the couch beside me. I wasn't sure why, but the look on his face had me feeling quite unsettled. "You do know that we aren't like that, right?""Like how?" My heartbeat accelerated. Surely, Gabriel wouldn't have said anything to him. Certainly. "We have never, and will never, treat Gabriel the way his family treated him."The moment he said that, I released a low sigh of relief."Dad.
