"Gabriel!" Nathalie came stumbling to him.
She fell on the floor next to him and hugged him as he started crying. Nathalie glanced over at Amalie and saw her stand up.
"You monster..." Nathalie said to Amalie.
"He still loves Emelie you have no chance of getting him." She smiled.
"Well at least I didn't traumatize him by akumatizing his dead wife. Amalie you are insane you do realize what you just did was-" Nathalie got cut off by Gabriel.
"Harsh-...it was harsh..." he mumbled.
"Get out!" Nathalie looked her dead in the eye.
"Ok Miss Nathalie." Amalie said in a stupid voice.

*Amalie leaves*

"I am so sorry Gabriel-"
"I am such a bad husband and father."
"No Gabriel your are amazing you have a huge business and you take good care of Adrien."
"No Nathalie. I lock Adrien up in this house because I am too afraid to loose him. I control everyone around me and no one actually likes me. And I cause you pain."
Nathalie has never seen him show so much emotions. He was crying in front of Emelie's coffin.
"Forgive me Emelie I can't do this anymore." He sighed and looked away from the coffin.
Gabriel stood up with tears in his eyes and walked to his room.
"Good night sir." Nathalie said as she turned to go to her room.
"Nathalie wait...could you actually...stay?"
She was surprised he wanted her to stay but she knew he was heartbroken so she agreed to stay.
Nathalie sat at the edge of the bed as she watched him fall asleep. She also got sleepy and accidentally fell asleep on his bed. She got cold because she didn't have a blanket. She started shivering and Gabriel noticed so he pulled her closer to him and covered her with his blankets. She woke up to this and she felt a little weird but she loved him and it was all so perfect.

*in the morning*
Amalie and the two boys were downstairs eating breakfast while Nathalie was in the office as usual. Gabriel walked down the stairs with an unhappy face. He sat down to the table and didn't look at anyone.
"We will be leaving today!" Amalie broke the silence.
"Okay" he sighed.
Amalie and her son left to pack their bags and left Adrien and Gabriel at the table. Gabriel looked like he'd seen a ghost. I mean he kinda did. Adrien knew something was bothering his father.
"Father?"
"Yes Adrien?"
"You look...sad is everything ok?" Adrien asked.
"Yes I just had a bad nightmare." He lied.
"Oh I am sorry." Adrien left the table to go to his room.
"Sir-" Nathalie came in the kitchen.
"Yes?"
"Today at 7pm you will be expected to show up at the...the...the gala." Nathalie stuttered to say the gala because  Gabriel only went there with Emelie and she didn't want to hurt him.
"Will you join me?" Gabriel looked up at her.
Nathalie was shocked is he going to take her as a replacement for Emelie. Okay that sounds very bad but he only ever went there with Emelie so if he wants to take Nathalie he must be wanting to replace Emelie. Nathalie didn't care is she was a replacement or not she was extremely excited.
"I don't think people take their assistants there..." Nathalie said with a scared voice.
"Who said I am going to take you as my assistant?" He smirked and quickly looked away.
Nathalie's face went red and she didn't know how to comprehend all of the things going on.
"I don't really have any fancy dresses I can wear for the gala..."
"Hmmm I might have a few dresses..." he joked as he took her hand and lead her to a room full of pretty dresses.
"Woah...I have never seen these before..." she knew the layout of the house very well since she has worked here for 20 years but she'd never seen this room.
"Ever since Emelie died I hid all of this away. I made so many dresses for her but she never got the chance to try them on..." he sighed.
Nathalie didn't know what to say he'd made all of these dresses for Emelie and she was going to be the one to wear them.
"Which one?" He asked.
"Uhhh I don't know I really like this one." She held a up a black dress. The dress had a v neck and had a slit on the side of it where it would show some skin.
"May I try it on?" She looked at him.
"Yeah...go ahead"
She went to the bathroom to change and adjusted the dress so it would fit her but it was a tiny bit big so she held the back so it wouldn't fall.
"It is a tiny bit big so I have to-"
"Oh wow" he was amazed.
Nathalie blushed and looked at herself in the mirror. Gabriel went to get some pins and thread to make the dress fit her perfectly.
"The dress is very pretty...I bet Emelie would have looked marvelous in it." Nathalie sighed as she turned around to see Gabriel coming towards her with a bunch of thread to make the dress better.
"It would have...but you look gorgeous in it as well." He took the extra material that Nathalie was holding and he began to put pins on the back of the dress.
"Do you really want me to join you at the gala? I mean I would love to but the media will be flooded with rumors that we are dating-"
"They don't matter Nathalie...I just want your company there. I don't want to be alone."
He finished placing the pins to their places.
"It fits perfectly." She turned around.
"Stay like that so I can sew it together."
Nathalie froze in-front of the mirror as her mind was going insane.
~he wants my company~ she thought.
"Nathalie you don't need to suffocate yourself." He giggled.
"I am sorry it is not everyday I get a dress fitted for me." She smiled.

*time skips*
"Adrien." Gabriel yelled.
"Yes father?"
"You may leave to Nino's house for a sleepover me and Nathalie are going to the gala."
"Thank you father!!!! Byeeee." He waved as they left.

They both got in the car and Nathalie began to feel nervous she didn't wear dresses and she has never been to the gala with Gabriel. She had observed him and Emelie there but she has never been invited there.

*meanwhile*
Adrien packed his bag and left to his friend's house.

*back to Nathalie and Gabriel*

Gabriel stepped out of the car and opened the door for Nathalie.
"Thanks." She whispered.
He nodded and held her hand. Nathalie smiled as she felt her hand in his grip.

"Are you guys dating?"
"When is the wedding?"
"What about Emelie?"
"Moving on I see."

The media was flooding the scene. Gabriel ignored all of that and just walked inside the building while holding Nathalie's hand.
