That was certainly not what Octavia had been expecting. Some sort of trouble with the law, or being blackmailed, perhaps. A plea for money because he was far too embarrassed to request it of his family. A scandalous story about to be published by him in his own paper--something a bit different than this sort of melodrama.
Of course, there was a world of trouble laying ahead of Gabriel and his chosen mistress, there was no doubt about that. What Daniella would think--she repressed a shudder. This sort of behavior was simply unacceptable for someone with a family like his.
"I assume this is a problem because you have no intention of giving up the child or the woman?" She had to bite her tongue to keep the derision from her voice. After all, she had been in a situation not unlike this-- Gabriel was lucky it was she he was telling this too.
