The Principessa’s Return
“Three years ago, Don Lucas handed you to me right here and said I was the luckiest man in the world.”

Father turned his back on us.
“From today onward, Sophie Lucas is no longer my daughter. And you will never enjoy the honor that comes with her identity.”
Don Lucas’ voice had trembled slightly. “Publicly, I will say my youngest daughter has gone missing. Go. I don’t want to see either of you again.”
