The Don’s Secret Obsession
Sister Lucia sat across from him, seventy-three years old, small and frail, with snow-white hair and calm, piercing eyes that seemed to have already accepted whatever storm he carried with him.
She studied him for a long moment before speaking.
“You’ve come about the girl,” she said softly. It wasn’t a question.
Victor nodded. “Sofia. She was brought to Saint Catherine’s when she was very young. I need to know everything about that night and who brought her.”
Sister Lucia looked down at her wrinkled hands, folded neatly in her lap. For a while, she was silent. Then she began to speak, her voice steady but distant, as though recounting a memory she had carried like a wound for decades.
