"Brian... you know i trust you right?" Ellaine asked with a teary-eyed.
"Yeah.. at dapat lang!" He said with a joking tone while cupping Ellaine's cheek.
"How can I trust you? You confessed that you married Carmella to try and forget about me. What if you're only with me because you know Gabriella will stay by my side and not yours, and you can't bear the idea of your daughter being away from you!?" Seryosong tanong ni Ellaine kay Brian.
"Oh god! Ellaine. Then I should have told the police or authorities in Germany that you kidnapped my child with Carmella, they would have imprisoned you.. yes, you could be invalidated or set free because of your mother's connections. But still, I can make sure to get Gabriella back from you if that's what I want!"
"But did I do it? Diba hindi naman, kasi nga ikaw ang mahal ko, ikaw at si Gabriella ang mundo ko... and even if Carmella gets Gabriella back from you, I will still choose you and only you..." he added and hugged Ellaine as tight as he can.
"I'm scared... I..I'm...I'm... I'm really scared right now, pano kung sa mga araw na'to bigla nilang kuhanin si Gabriella, what if they take her away from me. I'm scared Brian kung alam ko lang hindi na sana ako pumayag sa bakasyon na'to." Ellaine's tearful statement while holding on tightly to Brian.
"Don't be... matatakot din si Gabriella kapag natakot ka," inalis ni Brian ang pag kakayakap kay Ellaine bago mag salita ulit,"Don't worry tatawagan na lang natin si Keighley, sigurado akong matutulungan tayo ni Keighley, remember best lawyer at wala pang kasong napatalo yon, and i will trust her if ever Carmella crossed the line again!" Brian said , tumango lang si Ellaine at pinunasan ang kanyang mga luha. Mayamaya ay tumunog ang cellphone ni Brian.
"Yzairha, kamusta? Bakit ka napatawag, is Jordan okay?" He worriedly asked.
"Y-yeah... i just want to inform you na nakauwi na kami and i want to ask na din if kelan kayo uuwi? Jordan want to see Gabriella, nabasa na kasi ni Jordan ung diary na bigay ni Gabriella and he want to thank her dahil medyo bumalik na yung memory n'ya!"
"I'm happy na okay na si Jordan, about sa paguwi namin... b-baka matagalan pa... but don't worry namimiss na din ni Gabriella ang daddy Jordan niya,"
"Okay, ingat kayo dyan enjoy the vacation na lang muna!" Yzairha said
"Thank you!" Brian said bago ibaba ang tawag
"What Yzairha said?" Ellaine asked while wiping away the tears trickling down her face.
"She just inform us na nakauwi na sila and she also ask if kelan daw tayo uuwi, and Jordan want to see Gabriella to thank her sa diary. Medyo bumalik daw yung ilang memory ni Jordan dahil sa mga naka lagay don."
"Buti pa sila, they already got the happy ending Jordan was waiting for..." may lungkot sa tonong saad ni Ellaine.
"We will also get ours... just wait for that moment, we have to be patient. Keighley might also help us beside to Joana. If it's okay, ikaw na sana tumawag kay Keighley you still have her number naman diba?" Brian asked while looking at Ellaine.
"Okay sure! Go to Gabriella first i will call her lang." Ellaine said Agad namang naglakad si Brian at umakyat upang puntahan na si Gabriella na ngayon ay mahimbing na natutulog.
While Ellaine picked up her phone from the table, and enter Keighley's number
"Hello, Ellaine? Is Gabriella alright? I was concerned since you didn't pick up my calls," Keighley spoke gently. Despite her usual intimidating demeanor, when it came to Gabriella or addressing her directly, her tone softened.
"Y-yeah! Sorry med'yo naging busy kasi... Don't worry ok lang naman si Gabriella, but... Keighley i think... i might loss her." Ellaine said with a shaking voice.
"What? Why? Is Gabriella experiencing another heart attack?" Keighley asked worriedly.
"Nope! S-she...she's pretty okay, now." Ellaine said while attempting to control her tears.
"Eh ano? Sabihin mo na kaya, abogado ako hindi ako manghuhula para hulaan anong nangyayari sa'inyo d'yan!" May inis sa tono ni Keighley.
"Sit down first kasi mahabang paliwanag to!"
"Okay, fine! Now tell me what the hell is going on there?!" Keighley shouted as she sat in her sofa.
"Gabriella isn't my daughter, i adopt her, n-no... i did not adopt her...because.. I—"
"Wait, she's not your daughter and you adopt her and now you didn't adopt her? I'm confused finish your sentence please, try to relax then tell me everything."
"I kidnapped Gabriella when she was a baby..." napatayo si Keighley dahil sa gulat.
"What?! You kidnapped her? Why? What the hell. You can fucking adopt a baby in a legal way." Keighley shouted because in confusion she felt.
"Wait let me tell you everything first before ka magalit sakin, at bago mo ako sermonan." Ellaine said she also sat at the chair while facing a big frame of her holding a 1yr old Gabriella.
Sinabi lahat ni Ellaine kay Keighley ang totoo, at hindi mapigilan ni Ellaine ang maiyak habang inaalala niya ang mga nangyari at ginawa niya nang gabing 'yon.
"That's why Gabriella looks like Brian because she is really Brian's child, hindi nga lang ikaw ang nanay.... But Gabriella considers you as her mother, at kilala ko si Gabriella, she will still choose you even... even if you're not the woman who gave birth to her, but what a twist of fate, you were the one who found her in the accident, at anak pa talaga ni Brian ang kinidnapped mo, Noh!?"
"Hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko, Keighley. Please help me!"
"Your so annoying, Ellaine.
Only a German lawyer can defend you, I'm not allowed to protect Gabriella from that Carmella. Why did you choose Germany pa kasi para sa bakasyon?"
"I also didn't know na mangyayari pala to, kung alam ko lang hindi kona dadalin si Gabriella dito at mag stay na lang kami sa pilipinas..." saad ni Ellaine habang may maliliit na hikbi.
"Don't cry. Do you mind if I fly to Germany? I want to assist the lawyer you'll be hiring to ensure everything goes smoothly. I don't want to lose Gabriella either. She's grown close to me even though she's not your daughter, and I will do everything in my power to help you. Also, Yzairha contacted me earlier about Gabriella's diary helping my brother regain some crucial memories. I owe that to your child." Keighley stated with a firm resolve to aid Ellaine.
"Yeah, Ofcourse i need that. We really need you right now." Ellaine said while still crying.
"Stop crying, it's late in Germany. You should rest with Gabriella and ensure she's okay," Keighley advised. "I'll hang up now and fly to Germany in the morning!" she added before ending the call. Ellaine struggled to trust anyone, including herself, but she placed her trust in Keighley, a skilled attorney who had never lost a case. She held onto hope for a positive outcome.
