What lies beyond chapter 1
At Lorenzo's—Lorenzo was at home enjoying the quiet morning now that he was free from going to jail and Gabriella was making progress in her recovery when there was a knock on the door. It was AJ.
"AJ, why are you here?" I heard you talking to Tea last night that Gabriella isn't your biological daughter with Skye. Now start talking!" AJ yelled.
"Skye was pregnant. It was hard on her because of her age and health issues. She went into labor early and was unconscious when she delivered what was supposed to be our baby girl, Gabriella. But it was a stillbirth, and I couldn't break Skye's heart. I didn't want to tell her about our daughter that died. I heard a nurse say that a young woman had just given birth to a daughter she didn't want to raise, and she was going to foster care."
"That's Gabriella."
"Yes, she has a great life with us. If Skye or Gabriella find out, it will destroy them both."
"Why did the woman give Gabriella up? She is a model and doesn't want a baby. I'll look into her."
"A fashion model is her mother."
"Yes, that's probably why Gabriella loves fashion."
"Probably."
"AJ, you can't say anything. Skye will be destroyed."
"I know, and I won't say anything. But you have to stay away from my sister. She's better off without you. If you try to win Skye back, I will tell her everything! I love both Gabriella and Skye and Lila Rae, and I will protect them from you!" AJ yelled.
"I will do anything for my family. We have an understanding."
"Good."
"I didn't take Gabriella just because; I did it for my love of Skye."
"I do believe you love her, but it comes with a cost. Most love does," Lorenzo said.
At the police station—Kim's cell-Kim was in her cell when Skye came by.
"Why are you here?""
To see you. Is this what you want? a life in jail because you were so angry that I gave you up?" "I don't regret anything I did."
"You don't have any remorse, do you?" I understand being angry; I've been there. But you had a life as a doctor; you could have made a better life without Jerry and Faith."
"I loved them as parents," Kim said as Anna came by.
"We are moving you to a more secure prison," Anna said.
"I did want a relationship with you, but it's too late for that," Skye said.
"Goodbye, mother dearest," Kim said as Anna unlocked the cell and took Kim.
