My mind was filled with worry and confusion as I paced back and forth in our small apartment. The stranger's promise to Sofia had caught me off guard, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. How could he make such a promise when he knew nothing about us? What if he never showed up again? Sofia's hopes would be shattered, and my heart would break along with hers.I couldn't ignore the nagging feeling in my gut that something wasn't right. How could Sofia be so sure that he was her father? I had always told her that her father was on a business trip, but now doubts began to creep into my mind. What if I had been lied to all these years? What if Sofia's real father was out there somewhere?As I continued to worry, Sofia came running into the room, a big smile on her face. She had a way of bringing light into even the darkest moments."Mama, did you see how much daddy loves me?" she exclaimed, her eyes shining with excitement. "He promised to see me again!"I forced a smile, not w
ENZO —I watched as Isabella took Sofia away with her, I don't know what had suddenly gotten into me I can't even let go of Sofia for a second, like she is already a part of me and it hasn't even been up to a day."Boss, Miguel is ready to see you". One of my guard said clearly surprised to see me in the building kitchen."Tell him to come and meet me here." I instructed still trying my best to get the image of Sofia out of my mind."Sir, here in the kitchen?""Do I need to repeat myself?" I asked making the guard rush out. I need to see Sofia again atleast that would be the only way I would be in my right state of mind.Few minutes after continuously thinking about the little angel that just walked into my life.When Miguel walked also a bit stunned to see my waiting in this area of the building."ENZO?" He called joining me beside the counter."Miguel." I replied, that was our unique way of greeting each other."Why do you want to meet me here, you could have to my office or better s
"So tell me princess, what and what did your daddy buy for you?" I asked Sofia the minute we stepped into our apartment but she seemed quiet and walked directly to the sofa."Why can't daddy stay with us?" She asked, staring deep into my eyes with her sparkling deep blue eyes."That wasn't the answer to the question I asked you." I said also avoiding her questions, Sofia might be just 5 years old but she was definitely wiser than I expected."And why would you want him to stay with us don't you know he has other jobs to do than stay here?" I said a few minutes after not getting any response from Sofia."Because he is my daddy and I want to have a happy family like my friend's." She said sniffing quietly,I dropped the luggages in my hands and rushed up to her cleaning the tears on her cheeks."You don't have to cry Sofia, no one is taking your father away from you." I said but she shrugged."It's a lie," she insisted."And why do you think so?" I questioned sitting beside her."Because
ISABELLA —"Why would you assume that I was being scolded by my boss?" I asked, feeling the intensity in his eyes as she stared directly into mine with a fierce look. I slowly tried to pull my hands out of his grip but he wasn't letting go and for a split second there I was totally out of breath.Suddenly, he gave out a sheepish smirk."That's better, if he did not scold you in any way then let's go out for lunch like Sofia requested." He said relaxing back on his seat making Sofia jump up in excitement.As Enzo, Sofia, and I walked out of the building, hand in hand, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. I knew that Miguel's threat still lingered, and his encounter with Enzo earlier had only heightened my worries.As we stepped outside, the afternoon sun greeted us, casting a warm glow over the busy streets. Sofia's excitement was contagious as she bounced beside us, her little hand swinging back and forth between Enzo's and mine."Where should we go for lunch, Sofia?" Enzo aske
ISABELLA —"Sofia I love you and so does your father." I said slowly, cleaning the tears from my cheeks before she noticed anything."That's a big lie, because Daddy told me he wasn't sure he was my father."My heart broke into a thousand pieces as Sofia's words echoed in my ears. How could Enzo say such a thing to her? It felt like a knife to my chest, and I struggled to find the right words to comfort her."Sofia, Daddy loves you more than anything in this world," I said, my voice shaking. "Sometimes, people say things they don't mean when they're angry or upset. It doesn't change the fact that you are his princess, and he loves you unconditionally."Sofia's eyes welled up with tears as she looked at me, searching for reassurance. "But why would Daddy say something like that, Mama? Doesn't he want to be my Daddy anymore?"I took a deep breath, trying to gather my thoughts. "Sometimes, adults have their own problems and worries, Sofia. Life can be complicated, and people say things t
ENZO—---So this is the infamous Leonardo Dante's villa, I can't wait to see his daughters and mostly the one who made him this way. Although I am not sure she still resides here, I just hope Leonardo Dante business offer is worth all this trouble."Sir, Mr Leonardo Dante will be with you soon." One of his servants said before being and then walking away, I stare at the pictures on the table but all I can see is only one daughter, no signs or picture of the other one."Mr Enzo Ferrari." I heard from behind me as Leonardo descended from the stairs with a wide smile on his face and his daughter the one on the picture frames.I stood up almost immediately acting like a gentleman as we shaked hands."Mr Dante." I replied, taking my seat with him also sitting opposite mine."What would you like to take?" His daughter asked, also faking the smile on her face."I am fine," I replied, she nodded and sat beside her dad."Are you sure Mr Ferrari?" Leonardo asked."Yes ,let's just get straight t
ENZO —-"So are you going to marry his daughter?" Miguel questioned after asking how my meeting went."I don't have a choice Leonardo thinks that's the only way he can pay me back for the favor I want to do for him." I replied, going through some files on my desk while Miguel continued to drink his coffee, still surprised by Leonardo's offer."Why are you so determined to help him anyways? Everything about him has been ruined. I don't see why he has to come back, don't you know he is our competitor?" Miguel said."It's my decision to do this and you can't say anything to change my mind." I called my secretary through the Intel phone."So that means you won't be leaving the country soon or at least you won't be going back alone." Miguel joked smiling as my secretary walked in and I suddenly saw Isabella in her, it was her dressing that was so similar to that of Isabella."You called for me sir." She said bowing at Miguel who just nodded."Yes, I am done with this file. I want you to go
AURORA —--I slowly turned the woman around and it was just a woman with similar features like Isabella."Miss." The lady questioned also surprised with how swiftly I turned her around."I am sorry I mistook you for someone familiar," I apologized looking around the office if I would see anyone like her one last time before leaving but there was no such person.After making sure she wasn't anywhere around the building, I walked out of the building but before getting to my car I saw a little girl who had a striking resemblance with Enzo, Enzo had really rare eye color and so did this girl. I know Enzo was a secretive person which made the media no nothing about him despite the enormous wealth he had but he definitely had no mistress or kids.The little girl stares at me kinly for a few seconds but I could swear she look too much like Enzo and for a spilt second I saw Isabella, what is going on with me I keep seeing Isabella's face In different people.I don't think I would be able to b
