After

~Gilman~

~Authors Note~

To my loyal readers,

I am so very very sorry about the HUGE, GIANORMOUS and MASSIVE wait for my next chapter. When I began to write this book I didn't know where I was going with it. I don't know what the plot is or how I was going to continue. I don't know for sure what I'm going to do but I do need your help.

(1) Should I continue this story?

(2) If I do continue should I:

a. develop a relationship between Luca and Emily or should Luca fall for Ella even more?

b. Keep doing alternate chapters of Ella and Emily

c. Do longer chapters and more time between or shortish chapters more often?

Thank you so much for your help as I really need it. Help me get out of my huge case of writers block.

Sincerely, E

{BTW this chapter is going to be a flash back as I haven't told you why Gilman is seeking revenge, mwahahaha (my scariness!)}

'~' 5 months before the birth of Ella & Emily'~'

My name is Gilman, Gilman Grobber. I am an ordinary person with an ordinary job {computer technician}. Yet I have a beautiful family. My wife Sabrina is young and beautiful. Her silky ink black hair flows halfway down her back and her ice blue eyes twinkle when she smiles, which is a lot. My 5 year old daughter Ingrid is the cutest thing ever. She has sparkling green eyes and her short bob cut black hair frames her cute little face. She is the best daughter anyone could ever wish for. My beautiful family was about to get even better though. Sabrina was 9 months and 2 weeks pregnant. I was going to have a son. His name is going to be Lucas, Lucas Grobber. Has a nice ring to it, don't you think?

Anyway it was the 12th of December and Sabrina and I decided to take Ingrid for a holiday. But not any holiday. We wanted to go to France. It was hard to find flights and accommodations that we could afford as computer technicians and part time dance instructors don't get paid that much. Luckily when we were beginning to think all hope was lost, my boss sprung a huge surprise on me. "Gilman" he said "You have been a trusty employee for 8 years. And you are the first person whom I thought to give this huge prize." I began to hold my breath as I was dreading a transfer. "My wife, son and I were planning on taking a trip to Paris for a week but unfortunately my son has come down with a bad case of the chicken pox. So I am giving to trip to you, that is if you want it?" My hands were trembling in happiness as I jumped to my feet. "Oh thank you sir. I would love to sir. This is amazing sir" I stammered. But he just shushed my and ushered me out the door.

We had 24 hours to get packed and ready for the flight. Sabrina was opening and shutting cupboard doors in hope to find the right clothes and Ingrid was bouncing around singing "I'm off to Paris, to Paris. I'm off to Paris. Look out Paris here I come!" I smiled to myself as she began to sing again. My family is the best in the world, I'm such a lucky man. At 7:00am on the dot of December the 14th a cab pulled up in front of our house. BEEP BEEP. Grabbing the multiple suitcases and shoving a beany down firmly onto Ingrid's small head we rushed to the cab.

When we finally arrived in Paris we paid the cab to take our luggage strait to the hotel and we went straight to the Eiffel Tower. The massive monument loomed up ahead as we approached. The bitterly cold wind was blowing and small flakes of soft snow were floating everywhere. Sabrina and I laughed as little Ingrid chased the snow. Her bright pink parka standing out so that we wouldn't lose her. Now you may not believe me but my FIVE YEAR OLD daughter climbed the whole way to the first floor herself. People smiled as they passed at this tiny girl making her way up the huge amount of steps. When we got to the first floor Ingrid insisted we take photos. All was okay until she noticed the young couple a few meters away. They would have been about 25 and they were kissing like they were married. "Mummy and Daddy do that and Inggy take piter!" She began to shout. Smiling at me Sabrina leaned over and we kissed. Let me just tell you the photo we got out of it is one of my favorited photos. It may be on an angle, half my face may be cut off and Ingrids thumb is a little over the lens but it is the memory that makes it amazing.

Back in the warm hotel Sabrina, Ingrid and I started to play a game of charades. It was a great family bonding moment. Well that was until the strange women burst in. "Help" she screamed, her belly a little swollen. She must be pregnant too I wondered. "Is there a bomb technician anywhere" She screamed even louder. People began to mumble but nowhere was anyone a bomb technician. "I'm a computer technician" I started. Before I could finish she grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards the kitchen. Sitting in the middle of the empty room was a large pipe bomb. "DO SOMETHING" She screamed. I began to panic "I don't know what to do?" I whimpered. "WHAT?" she shouted "HURRY UP, ILL EVACUATE THE BUILDING" She took off in the direction of the lounge. I felt frozen. I didn't know what to do. When I heard the lady scream "EVERYONE IS OUT" I left the bomb and ran outside. "Thank you" she said "My name is Katerina Barker" she stuck out her gloved hand. "Nice to meet you, I'm Gilman Grubber" I shook her outstretched hand "Have you seen my family?"

BANG. There was a huge noise as the bomb exploded. I panicked and began frantically looking for Sabrina and Ingrid. Nowhere were they to be seen. I looked up and saw a fluffy pink beany floating to the ground. My worst suspicions were confirmed. "NOOOOOO" I screamed as I sunk down into the floor and cried. This was all that ladies fault. If she hadn't taken me then I could have gotten them out safely. I would get her back, If it's the last thing I do....
