THE GIRL I KNEW

35. CRUEL TRUTH.

COMMENTS MAKE ME SMILE 🙃💛

GABRIELLA’S POV:

“Don’t tell me you’re shy.” Laura laughed like some possessed maniac. I felt so irritated as soon as I heard the laughter.

“André. R-Remember when I used to ask you if I ever make you mad to the point you can’t think properly, if you’d still love me?” I took a hold of his hand as he stared at me. “Today....is the day that I reveal to you, in fact, to your entire family of what I’ve been hiding from you all.”

“And what the hell is that?” Andrea sparked up as she walked towards us.

“Andrea calm down, despite the fact that I am trying my best not to laugh at her crying face, I do know it is hard for her to spit it out.” Laura smirked at me.

“Gabriella what did you do?” André spoke with a serious voice. I wanted to breakdown right in front of them because he called me Gabriella and not the usual Brie.

“I—I—” I was finding it so hard to say it, most especially in front of everyone of them.

I knew what this would result in and God knows I was weak to fight for what belonged to me. N-N-No...I wasn’t ready.

“P-P-Please don’t take my baby away from me.” I sobbed so hard as I faced the floor.

“Tequila? That would never happen. Why would I even do that? I was just giving you a silly threat back then. Is that why you’re crying?” He looked at me with a smile but I shook my head.

“Spill it out darling.” Laura chimed at me and I glared at her.

“YOU ARE THE MOST DESPICABLE PERSON I HAVE EVER MET LAURA LOMBARDI!”

“And you’re the most heartless.” A smug grin was planted on her face.

“What’s going on—” He was about to speak but I abruptly interrupted him.

“A-André. I’m so sorry. I wanted revenge for what you did to me over six years ago because I was still hurting and when I saw an opportunity to hit you harder this time, I-I-I took it and used it. I didn’t even think about how the end result would be because I was so clouded with anger and hate for you. But then after some few weeks of fighting with the love I have for you, I gave up and now I can see the big amount of mistake I created. If I could go back in time and reset everything I would Dré. I regret it, I regret everything.” I sniffled.

“What did you do?” He asked me with a hint of fear in his eyes.

“I-I-I lied to you.” The tears were already falling making Laura chuckle.

“About what?”

“Tequila.” I could barely speak audibly.

“What happened to Tequila?” He took both of my hands in his with a gentle grip.

“Y...You’re not the father of Tequila.” I-I-I couldn’t believe I finally said it after weeks of keeping it in.

“Brie stop. I’m tired of you saying this. Why can’t you just be happy that I want to be part of my daughter’s—”
