Chapter 10

Gabriella’s POV

"Grandma, I'm aware that you've been wondering about Xander's father, and I'm sorry I never had the opportunity to tell you what happened between me and his father. I met him after completing my university's third-year exams. My friends advised me that I needed to find a boyfriend since I had never dated, and so we went to a nightclub. It was my first experience at a nightclub. I drank alcohol for the first time, and Xander's father joined me. We danced together and ultimately left the club together, to a hotel he had reserved before coming to the club. I had my first kiss and lost my virginity on the same day. I kissed and slept with Xander's father for the first time. We had a good time. I awoke the following morning alone in bed. He was gone. I hoped he would return, but he never did. I continued returning to the hotel with the expectation of seeing him and informing him about my pregnancy, but I had no luck locating him. He had vanished, leaving no trace. I spent the first three months looking for him but was unsuccessful. I dropped out of school in search of jobs and care for my son. I had been alone since I was a child at the orphanage. My friends were quite supportive. I discovered who I had slept with not long just this year. I saw a photo of him on television and learned that he was engaged to another woman. I was in pain, but then I realized I was just a one-night stand. I never made an issue of it. My son and I have been getting along well without him, and I have no intentions of informing him about my son. I hope to God that I never have another encounter with him. I chose not to inform him that he had left me pregnant that day. I believed we were connected. I was mistaken. I don't plan on telling him about Xander. He is better off in the dark. He seems to be content with his fiancée, and I don't want to upset him by bringing my son to meet him. Well, I do not despise him. He is Xander’s father, but I will never forgive him. He was aware that I had never had sex before, yet he used no protection and left me pregnant and alone. He had experience, but I lacked it, which is one of the reasons I despise men. After I explained my tale to grandmother Felicia, I saw she was enraged.

"What's his name?"

"All I knew was that his name was Javier; nevertheless, this year, I discovered that he was Javier Hills."

Grandma Felicia’s POV

Thus, Xander has my blood!

How am I to inform this young lady that Javier is my grandson? How could Javier have acted in such a reckless manner? How can I begin to convey this?

He is so smitten with Xander that he is unaware that the kid is his son. He is the product of his blood.

How can I rectify this?

"Go inside and rest." Gabriella was commanded, as I could tell she was weary of weeping.

How am I to inform this girl that the person responsible for her misery was my grandson? How could you, Javier?

I double-checked the time and directed my driver to Hills Group International. When we arrived, I stormed into the conference room and demanded that everyone go. Everyone hurried out, leaving me alone with my grandson.

Javier's POV

π‘†π‘™π‘Žπ‘!

"Grandma, what is the meaning of this?"

π‘†π‘™π‘Žπ‘!

'Grandma, would you stop and tell me what is going on." I asked my grandmother.

"You idiot, you have now backed me into a corner. Are you aware of what you've done? Do you, Javier Hills?" I saw another slap coming, but I dodged and moved away from her.

"What have I done, Grandma?"

"You imbecile, how are you capable of being that irresponsible? Xander is your son!"

I became immobile.

"Grandma, you've been claiming for a long time that kid is mine, but he is not."

However, she flashed me a savage grin.

"Does the name Gabriella ring a bell?"

"Who is that grandma? But, before I could reopen my lips, my jaw fell,

"What! "

"Aaa, the student you slept with and then abandoned without saying a word or look for is Xander's mother. She is your son's mother. The girl endured a great deal as a result of her actions. She dropped out of school, so she could take care of your son while you were busy sleeping around. I am really dissatisfied with you. I did not inform her that you were my grandson since I anticipated her leaving with my great-grandson. You are going to straighten up this problem. I am not requesting that you marry her. That is not to say that I have an issue with it. Gaby is a wonderful child. I admire her and am aware of her abilities. I've developed a bond and trust with that girl, and you're not going to deprive me of it. Correct this before she discovers I am your grandmother."
