Now here you are...

Gabrielle head shook left and right as she sang along with the music.

Earplugs was on her ear as she enjoyed the song.it was morning so she could be seen cleaning the tables and chairs preparing the shop for customers.

She was still cleaning when Frank her employee entered.she didn't even know because she was in her own world already.

World filled with music and happiness.

Frank stood there as he watched her with a bright smile on his face,which he could just tell her about his feelings once and for all but the thing is... will she accept him?

His mom and siblings calls him crazy for choosing to work here all because of a girl when they are so many better job in life.Not like he wasn't a graduate.

He has been with her for almost 3years now yet she didn't notice his feelings.

Lust flashed in his eyes as he saw her move her waist.

Gabrielle suddenly turned and met him.

Smiling,she removed the earplugs and kept it with her phone at a corner.

"How long have you been they Frankie?"she chuckled walking closer to him.

Gwad... those smile of hers,he could feel his heart beat as she came closer.

"FRANKIE!"Gabrielle snapped startling him.

"Huh?"He blinked twice realizing he hasn't been listening to her.

"Seriously? I have been talking to you but it seems that you are lost"she frowned her faced tightly.

"Uhmm...am sorry I was just thinking about something"He said smiling.

"Like always now let's start with the cooking customers will soon be here"she dragged him along to the kitchen.

He just kept smiling as he follows her like an obedient poppy.

★ BROOKE'S ENTERPRISE ★

"She won't pick the call like she always do"Mark, Gabrielle's father said in a sad tone.

He has been calling Gabrielle for almost 4 hours now but she kept declining e calls.

"I think it's high time you forget about her sir,I mean she is your daughter but yet she has no single liking for you,who does that?"Deng, his personal guard rolled his eyes.

Mark glared at him "come again"He deadpanned.

Seeing his angry look,Deng knew that he has gotten himself into trouble for badmouthing Gabrielle.

"I'm sorry sir I didn't mean to, I'm very sorry"He bowed.

Mark scoffed and said "if it wasn't for the fact that you've been my most trusted personal guard and have also been with me for years I would have wasted no time in eliminating you"Mark warned seriously.

"Leave"He told Deng who nodded,bowed before leaving.

After Deng exited the office,his mind went back to what happened years back.

FLASHBACK ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You are a slut you hear me? A big one!"Mark yelled at Ana his wife face who kept shedding crocodile tears.

"I'm not"Ana defended herself.

"You still have the guts to lie huh? I can't believe you have been deceiving me long,how sure am I now that Gabrielle is my daughter"He yelled almost bursting into tears.

"Stop talking nonsense!"Ana shouted adding more to his anger.

A slap landed on her face from him landing her in the floor.

Her head hit the tiles floor hard and she started bleeding.

Gabrielle who just came back from school watched from the corner quitely as her father misbehaved with her mother.

END OF FLASHBACK ~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tears was on his eyes already "I should have ignored her,I really should have"His cracked voice came along as the tears he was trying so hard to hold trickled down his face.

It was midnight already so,frank went home already.

Gabrielle padlocked the door before leaving for the road to stop a cab.

While waiting for a cab,she saw missed calls from an unknown number and she rolled eyes.

She needed no soothsayer to tell her it was that old man.

She has blocked his main number yet he still calls her with different numbers.

Seriously isn't that man tired?

Does he wants to add trouble to her already simple life.

She finally entered a cab.

Her eyes where closed as the car drove smoothly on the road.

A flash back of what her dad did to her mom years back rushed like a running shower into her head and she snapped her eyes opened.

As soon as she opened her eyes,she saw a car heading towards them cursing her heart to Skip.

The driver tried his best avoiding the car but it was too late.

"Heyyyyyy!!!!

Gabrielle screamed but the car already collided with theirs.

CRASH!!!

The glass shattered.

Her head hit the glass window and the driver's neck got pined against the headrest by a sharp glass as it pierced through his throat.

"H-hel...he... help"she muttered softly with a bloody face,her vision became blurry before she passed out.

"Done"the unknown person whose car collided with theirs said.

His car was badly damaged too but he made sure he didn't die though he was injured.

Getting out of the car,he quickly took on his toes as he ran away.

Another cab passing by saw the unfortunate scene and quickly called the ambulance.

A WEEK LATER***CITY HOSPITAL

Gabrielle eyelid shook,she opened her eyes but quickly closed it due to the bright light that almost blinded her eyes.

She closed her eyes for some seconds before opening them again.

She touched her head and felt something wrapped around it.

"Ahhh"she moaned in pain as she stood up.

"What am I doing here?"She asked no one in particularly.

She then remembered the accident.

She started crying onwards knowing full well that the driver can never survive that accident.

But who took her to the hospital?

After crying her eyes out,she felt like throwing up.

She weakly stood up and tried removing the drips.

"STOP!"

A voice said and she looked around but saw no one.

A nurse entered the room and she sighed I'm relief.it must be the nurse who said that but wait...

"Are you feeling better now?"The nurse asked and she shook her head.

"Where you the one who said stop just now?"Gabrielle asked to be sure because the nurse voice suddenly sound different.

"What? No!"The nurse confusingly said.

Gabrielle looked around again and saw a black shirt sticking out from the door.

As she looked upwards to get a glare view of the person's face.

ZOOM!

The person walked away.

"Huh? Why did she run?"Gabrielle thought thinking the person was a female.
