Chapter 108
Isabella POV

The next day, the doctor gave me a clean bill so I could go home. Gabriel told me that Jack already moved all my belongings to his (.. our) house. I agreed because I didn't want to go back there and remember what Alex did to me. Alex is arrested. Gabriel's lawyer planned to charge him for a very long time in jail. The police also contacted Ben and Camilia, because Alex dragged them for the embezzlement. Now the battle is between Alex and Sanders.Everything looks better now, except Gabriel treats me like I just came out from a fatal accident. He doesn't even let me carry anything, even my purse. And he is planning to build an elevator for me in the house.
I cross my arms and sit on the bed. Gabriel comes to me and squats in front of me. "Hey, what's with the pout on your lovely face, Sweetness?" he touches my mouth.
"I'm capable of doing a lot of things, Gabriel."
"Of course! You are a smart woman. My favourite executive assistant. Don't tell this to Sarah, by the way." He chuckles with his own joke.
I can't help the twitch in my mouth. He really knows how to make me smile. "I don't want the elevator!"
"We can talk about it later when you reach your second or third trimester, okay?" He caresses my cheek.
I sigh. Let me introduce you to my super stubborn fiancé, Gabriel Remington .
"Gabriel, I still want to work as your executive assistant. I'll find my replacement when I reach my third trimester like Sarah."
"What?" He looks surprised. As expected...
"I still want to work as your assistant," I say it again.
"But I don't want you to get tired, Sweetness."
"I promise you I won't. I'll take care of myself and our baby. Okay?" I say softly to him but I can see the stubborn lines in his face, so I add, "if you won't let me work, then we will go without sex until I give birth to our baby. Because have sex also--"
"Okay, you can work," he says fast, and I smile and link my arms around his neck. "Thank you, baby," I say seductively and pull him to me.

Nancy comes to LA for the new year. We are sitting in the living room enjoying the dessert. Courtesy to Nancy.
"I'm glad you have a good appetite, Izzy . You are very lucky."
"Yes, the little pumpkin here keeps asking for food every 2-3 hours." I laugh and caress my still flat tummy.
"Yes, even in the middle of the night, she woke up and went down to find the ice cream," Gabriel says while playing with my hair. I blush. He came down and found me munching the ice cream. He brought the ice cream to our room and said he was hungry, too. In the end, he ate the ice cream from my body until I screamed in pleasure.
Nancy laughs, and doesn't realise my blush. She clears her throat. "So, Izzy , since you are Gabriel's fiancé now. I'm going to ask you to be the head of The Remington Foundation. Everyone was praising your work. Some of our shareholders asked me to put you as our person in charge of the THF, too. You told me once you rejected it because you're just Gabriel's girlfriend, but now your new status will be enough to make you believe you are the suitable person for THF, right?"
I glance at Gabriel, biting my lower lip. Gabriel smiles. "The decision is yours to make, Sweetness"
I smile and look back at Nancy. "Okay, Nancy. But I still want to work for Gabriel as his executive assistant. I just got this job, at least give me time until I give birth to this pumpkin. After my maternity leave, I'll be back to handle THF. Is that okay? I'm still overlooking THF for now. But we can't handle big charity for a while because it needs my 100% focus."
Nancy beams. "Perfect!"
"Sweetness, I want you to have an assistant to help you with your double jobs. I don't want our baby to get tired because her mom is a stubborn workaholic." Gabriel frowns.
I smile. "I know you would say that. I already found a suitable person for that."
Gabriel smiles and kisses me. "You are the best."
"And one more thing, Izzy ..." Nancy says. Gabriel and I look at her. She puts a paper in front of me. "I set a trust fund for your baby and for you"
My eyes widened. "Nancy, thank you, but I'm afraid I can't accept the one for me. You can set a trust fund for the baby. It's up to you since this baby is your great grandchild. But not me, Nancy. I can't."
"You can and you will. The trust fund for the baby is closed from the public. I already told my lawyer. The baby will have access to the trust fund when he or she reaches 18."
"I agree 100% percent with your for this pumpkin, but for me—"
"As for you, it will go public that you now have 10% shareholders of Remington Industries and 1 billion."
My eyes have not just widened, but it almost popped out now. "I can't, Nancy"
"You can and you will, Izzy . I have this plan even before you and Gabriel are together. I will give 1 billion to each of my granddaughter in laws. You and whoever Christian with. As for Gabriel's wife, I will give her a 10% share of the Remington Industries, so it will make Gabriel and his wife the biggest shareholders of The Remington Industries as it should be. As for Christian's wife, I will give her the same amount of money and the properties that belong to Daisy."
My eyes find Gabriel for help. "Just accept it, Sweetness. You will be the head of THF. You need to make them feel secure to give their money to THF."
"By that time, I'll be your wife, Gabriel. No one will think I'm going to steal money from THF. It's ridiculous."
"Nancy and I know you. Our friends know you. But people out there... they are clueless about you." Gabriel shrugs. "Just accept it. You will not use it, anyway. I will provide you with everything you need," he smiles. "You can save it for our kids later, though."
I exhale. 2 vs 1. I can't win. And I do understand what Gabriel said is true. So I look at Nancy and hold her hand. "Thank you, Nancy. Thank you for taking care of me."
She smiles. "You are welcome, Izzy . Thank you for putting the smile back on Gabriel. And... it's Grandma starting from now."
I laugh and nod. "Yes, Grandma."
Nancy smiles at me, caressing my hand. "Welcome to the family, Isabella.
