When I first met your mother, Maria, she was a drug addict." My father confessed."She was a sweet girl who got in bad company, ran away from home and got assaulted by older men." He took a breath."She somehow managed to run away from those men and came to me. For me she was the most beautiful person ever. I came alive after seeing her. The day she came to me was the best day ever. I was poor but she was my most precious possession and I thought I could do anything for her. Anything. She is my first and last love. At that time I was still poor. I was doing okay with the money but I wasn't as rich as I am now." He explained to me."There was a genuine connection between us. My family was all gone by then, leaving me all alone with her. Your mother Maria became my whole world. We decided to get married. I somehow managed to get a really small apartment on rent and we both started living happily. I did several wrong things in my life, and I completely blame myself for everything. So God

"Alessio Romano."My head started to spin after hearing this name.Alessio Romano, aka, Adriano's dad I jumped out of my seat and soon I realised my whole body was shaking.Anything related to Adriano, or anything that mentions him, makes me go crazy. It instantly reminds me of my past and I cannot stand it."What happened?" My father Leonardo got up from his seat and moved towards me. His hand touched my arm and I got pulled out of my crazy thoughts."Are you okay, Emilia?" He looked concerned. I don't even know how to respond him."Do you know Alessio?" He questioned with a doubt in his voice. If I were emotionally attached to this man I would have told him. But I don't know him and his intentions so I would rather not share my personal life and past with him.Also I am quite unaware whether Salvatore knows about my past and my marriage, and told my father.But his face seemed poker so I don't think he knows about Adriano and that he is aware of the fact that Alessio is Adriano's

The scent of dinner wafted through the air, the warmth of family is the most important thing to me now. As we gathered around the dining table.I tucked Aida and Emma, my two precious babies, as they sat side by side.They always sit next to each other, no matter how much they fight.As I served food to them their eyes lightened with anticipation. As I placed the plates in front of them, filled with their favorite meal, a familiar scenario unfolded."Aida, can I have a bite of your breadstick?" Emma's voice, sweet and demanding at the same time, filled the air.Emma always have to take the best part from her sister's plate. She is younger and does love her sister very much, but she is stubborn too.She has got quite an attitude too, just like her father, I thought to myself.But Aida is calm. She is the responsible elder sister, she responded with a patient smile, "Sure, Emma. Just take a little."Aida is soft spoken, but Emma never holds back while talking. Aida, turned out quite ca

Emilia's POV-I gasped, my hands shaking as I clutched the card. "No, it can't be. This is not possible."Remembering the thing written in the card, my brain stopped working.Past only remained of one name.Adriano. The name escaped my lips.He's gone. He's supposed to be gone!" Panic seized me, and I sank onto the couch.Aida, sensing my distress, looked up with innocence in her eyes. "Mommy, who's Adriano?"What shook me even more was Adriano's name coming out of her mouth.Aida doesn't remember anything of the past. She was a small kid back then. Se might have the idea but she seems to have forgotten about everything as she is growing older.I felt like I am losing my sense to communicate, my voice trembling, as I struggled to find the words. "He... he is no one, Aida. I don't know why I took that name.""Now Aida be a good girl and tell me what exactly happened. Who was that stranger? How did he look?" I questioned her."I don't know mommy. He was quite smart. I couldn't see much

I had no answers to Emma's questions. Her curiosity to know her father's name was big. I found myself failing to provide her with the necessary answers."Umm sweetheart, why don't you go and rest. Mommy is really tired today. Can we talk about this tomorrow. I had so much work today." I tried to dodge the question and change the subject.They nodded in agreement."What is happening Emilia?" Sofia bought a glass of water for me.I was feeling really hyper."Turns out we have a stalker. My children are in danger. And if I don't act now, it might lead to a dark future." I looked at her."It's stupidity to ignore this. We should not take anything lightly. Cops won't help us. I have kids, I cannot take the risk and try to find that person myself. If it would have been about myself I would have been fearless, but now I need to think about my kids too." I told Sofia.We both sat on the couch and discussed all the possible ways to keep ourselves safe.The thing that pricks me the most is that
