Everyone was in Elle's office, looking through her plan to end the enemy.

"Where'd you get this from?" Marcello asked, showing her a paper, that said 'Money Transfer Agreement' at the top.

"When I dug through their filthy work, I dug deep. This was documented in October 1991. On the day mom and that asshole got married," Elle said catching everyone's attention.

Gabriella walked to Marc and grabbed the documents from him, her eyes widening as they traveled through the words.

"Elle, what is this?" her mom asked her in disbelief.

"Mom, I didn't wanna tell you this but I don't hide anything from you," Elle sighed.

She didn't wanna tell her mom, she knew it would break her heart but it was something that can't be hidden.

"What is this?" She asked again.

"Mom, I need you to calm down first and, listen to me before you say anything,"

"Elle, stop procrastinating and tell me already,"

Elle looked at Marc who nodded at her, he read the papers and knew that his mom needed to know this.

"Love, let's talk outside," James pulled his wife out, he knew as well which surprised Elle.

She didn't know that he knew but she was relieved now that she doesn't have to tell her.

James held his wife's hand as they walked to their room. He sat her on the bed.

He kneeled in front of her and held her hands.

"The thing I'm gonna tell you now isn't something easy to understand, I need you to know that I love you no matter what," He said carefully.

"James, tell me already," she demanded, having enough of everyone's introductions.

"Your name isn't or wasn't Gabriella Larussa, your real name was Gabriella Rosello. You were kidnapped when you were one by your parents' enemy," James said slowly, there was no other way to break it to her.

"W-what?" she stuttered.

"Their enemy gave you to one of his men, the people you knew as your parents aren't your parents,"

"What?" she asked again, now getting mad.

"The enemy's sons were Antonio and Aldo,"

She looked at him with widened eyes.

"When their father passed away, your father took advantage of that and asked for money from them, and in return, Antonio marries you," James finally dropped the bomb.

"James, please tell me that what you just said isn't real," she said, her eyes moistening.

James held her hands tighter.

"I wish this wasn't real as well but I'm right here, we'll get through this, I promise," He kissed her hands and wiped the fallen tears off her face.

"How will I look at my kids?" she cried.

"You will look at the with confidence because all these things weren't your fault and they love you no matter what," he hugged her.

"M-my real parents, are they alive?" she asked pulling away from him.

He shook his head, "they passed away not too long ago but," he paused not knowing if she was ready to hear something else.

"But what?"

"You have siblings, I wanted to contact them but I didn't wanna overwhelm you. You decide if you wanna talk to them or not," James said.

"I can't believe this, my whole life is a lie. Why do I have to go through all of that, why?"

There was a knock on the door, Gabriella wiped her face quickly and called out for whoever it is to come in.

Marc and Elle walked in. James moved as they walked to their mother.

"Mom, we're here for you,"
