IT'S BEEN A MONTH since I last contacted Gabriella. 

I've been distancing myself from everything and giving it time to accept the fact that she killed my sister but so did Antonio. After she told me her side of the story I packed my bags and left then the following day confronted my brother about it in front of my whole family. We got into a big fight and instead of him owning up he vanished. 

Luca has been taking care of everything. 

Now that I'm back in town the first thing I want to do is talk to Gabriella and see where we stand. 

 I took my phone out of my pocket and opened it to Gabriella's and my private messages. 

Me: Can we talk?

After a few seconds she reads the message then types away. 

Gabriella: Yeah, when?

Me: At you're place. Now.

Gabriella: Okay, I'll wait for you. 

Me: I'll be there soon. 

I rise from my chair, grabbed my coat and existed my house. 

Enzo and Luca were waiting for me outside. Entering the car. Luca was on a call with someone. I looked over at Enzo and he smirked.

"Chiara." He whispered.

Something is happening between these two. I once caught them flirting with each other during training.

I don't mind, honestly.

After a while, Luca hangs up. "Are you sure nothing is happening between you two?" Enzo teased, grinning like a creep as he wiggled his eyebrows.

"Grow the fuck up Enzo." Luca complained. Enzo chuckled and turned to me.

"Shut the fuck up." I said. He gasped in shock. "I didn't say a single word." Enzo protests. "I know exactly what you were going to say." Enzo rolled his eyes. "You guys are terrible friends. Always targeting me." He mumbled the last part and started the car, the engine roared to life. "I don't mind you and Chiara." 

"She's not bad." Enzo spoke up. 

"All I'm saying is that I'm starting to like her but be careful man, she might be different but she can still break your little fragile heart  and I know for fact it won't heal after her." Enzo assured me.

The car ride was awkwardly silent for a solid ten minutes.

"Yeah, just be careful," I whisper. Everything between Gabriella and me comes flooding my mind. We've been through a lot. We hated each other and now it has all changed.

The three of us decided to have dinner and catch up on certain things.

Luca and Chiara have been seeing each other for two weeks. They haven't informed Gabriella yet.

The reason for that is because Chiara is too afraid that Gabriella won't accept but I think she won't mind because it's the same story with her going out with her ally.

I also ordered some take-out for Gabriella since she couldn't make it for dinner.

Luca and Enzo went their separate way and I'm currently driving to Gabriella's house.

My mind on reaping the conversation I had with Luca and Enzo.

When I reached her house I had to pass security without causing problems. I slowly pulled up towards Gabriella's house.

I turn the engine off and step out of the car. shutting the car door. I walked up to her huge wooden oak door and had to sign in.

I passed a couple of guards as I carried her hot dinner and made my way to her room.

I gently knocked on her door but no one answered. I knocked a bit harder and there still wasn't an answer.

She's probably in the shower.

I let myself in to find her bed empty. The room was dark and I didn't hear the shower running. I shut the door and continued to walk up the stairs where it led to the third floor and her office. I strolled my way to her office. Gently knocking on the door I waited for her to respond but it was silent.

I opened the door and peeked in. Her office was empty but the glass door that led to the balcony was open.

I let myself in. I passed her desk but dropped a couple of papers that were on her table.

"Dammit." I cursed under my breath. I bent down to pick up her papers. As I was cleaning up my mess something caught my eye instantly.

I slowly read the documents in disbelief.

Anger and sadness rushed through my veins.

I was so busy reading that I didn't notice Gabriella.

I looked up and saw tears streaming down her face.

She noticed what I had in my hand and slowly approached me. "Giovanni." she cried softly.

"What the fuck is this Gabriella." I spat holding up the documents in the air.

"I-"

"You're pregnant and planning to abort the baby without telling me."

AUTHORS NOTE
Hey...
yeah, Gabriella is pregnant.

I know this whole adding pregnancy to the story is annoying, I know trust me. It makes me just want to stop reading the story but I had to do this so the ending would be extra;)

The next chapter will be sensitive.
