I'm so sorry this new chapter has been delayed. I recently got a new job and things have been crazy as of lately, so I apologize for being gone so long. This song will include the lyrics to Pat Benetar's Hit Me with Your Best Shot, which I do NOT own.
Present Day
Gabriella's POV
I was just sitting here at home, working on some new music and everything when I recieved a text from Terry.
Terry <3
Want to join me for lunch, Mrs. Silver?
Me :-)
Of course, Sensei Silver. Shall I dress formal or non-formal?
Terry <3
Non formal. It's just a casual lunch, my dear. Besides, I miss my darling wife. Being back at Cobra Kai feels good once again
Me :-)
Perhaps you can teach me a few moves later on, Sensei. I'm leaving now, so give me about 15 minutes.
After I sent the final text, I went into mine and Terry's bedroom to ready for the day, and to prepare myself for anything that will come my way.

Once getting dressed, I had one of the drivers that Terry has employed to take me down to my favorite little cafe for lunch. But little did I know that someone was also waiting for me to show up back into my life.
About 15 minutes later and some light traffic, I had arrived at the quaint little cafe I adored when I first had gotten married to Terry. Spotting my husband sitting there, handsome as ever, I walked over to join him, when I heard my name being called.

''Gabriella. It's been a long time.'' The voice of the one man that I despised in the world, my father, John Kreese.

''And what the hell do you want from me, John? You haven't seen me in all these years, attend my wedding, or even bothered to wish me a happy birthday. Why of all f**king times do you want to bother me or find me now? Answer me goddamn it!'' I cried out with tears in my eyes.
Standing there without a care in the world, I wanted to beat the crap out of my father for all the misery and grief he caused me over the years. Grabbing my bag and not hungry anymore, I simply walked away and needed to go to my happy place.
''Gabriella, come back please! Darling, I'm so--'' Terry had called out, but I had run away in tears, not wanting to be around the drama. One place in mind had always helped me calm down, and that was the recording studio.
Arriving at the recording studio, the engineer Martina was there. I had her get the equipment ready for me to record the next song on my album. Getting the thumbs up from Martina, I began to sing to get my emotions out.
You're a real tough cookie With a long history Of breaking little hearts like the one in me That's okay, let's see how you do it Put up your dukes, let's get down to it
Hit me with your best shot Why don't you hit me with your best shot? Hit me with your best shot Fire away
You come on with the come on You don't fight fair That's okay, see if I care! Knock me down, it's all in vain I get right back up on my feet again!
Hit me with your best shot Why don't you hit me with your best shot? Hit me with your best shot Fire away
You're a real tough cookie with a long history Of breaking little hearts like the one in me Before I put another notch in my lipstick case You better make sure you put me in my place!
Hit me with your best shot... C'mon! Hit me with your best shot... Hit me with your best shot Fire away!
Hit me with your best shot Why don't you hit me with your best shot? Hit me with your best shot Fire away
Not realizing my emotions, I didn't know that Terry had arrived at the studio. Damn, I guess that tracker I have installed on my phone does work after all!

''Oh, Terry, I'm sorry. I just couldn't stand being around Kreese anymore. Yes, he's my father, but that man hasn't given a flying f*ck about me all these years. I'm just so done with him, and I don't ever want to see him again.'' I said angrily before I walked away with tears running down my face.
Terry must have caught up with me and spun me around to fit into his arms. I kept my head hanging down, refusing to look up. Terry used one of his finger to gently lift my head up to look at him.
''Gabriella, you won't have to see him ever again. I have plans for Mr. John Kreese and it's not going to look too pretty for him. I will not have that man hurt the love of my life and make her upset. I will make him pay.'' Terry said as he hugged me and we went off to bed, to start a new day and everything.
