After Nathalie has a new love interest, Gabriel starts to realize what Nathalie truly is to him. Gabriel has been aware and had always taken advantage of Nathalie's feelings towards him, constantly living in grief from his wife's comatose state, denying any romantic feeling towards his assistant. Will Gabriel quietly let his denied feelings for Nathalie overpower him? Or will he fight for the affection she once had for him? **Soundtracks are available (and optional) per chapter**
