Chapter 05 - When simplicity scares.

Anthony thought he was on top of the situation when the Italian signed the contract. Soon after, he began to think. The email you requested from your son arrived soon. I was amazed analyzing the expenses. For a billionaire like him, seventy thousand dollars was money to play with, but he always acted cautiously. everything in his life was an investment. Paulo Carsini calls asking for a surprise meeting, and doesn't say what it was.

Carsini arrives with a seriousness that Anthony has never seen before. he had decided to talk about something special that would need the help of his new and "trustworthy" friend. Anthony asks the housekeeper to bring coffee and half an hour later a tray is served for both of them.

Carsini sighs and drinks his coffee. Anthony then takes the lead. -So my friend, what good winds bring you to my house so soon?

- If you knew... you would be sad. or maybe even disappointed in me.

- What you mean?

- One of the reasons for me coming to the United States is not just foreign business or the vacation I was planning.

Anthony closes his notebook. what was coming? he asked himself.

- Moving on. I don't know what you really think about me. but I'm going to open the game. About 19 years ago, I had a casual relationship with an American girl, and that relationship resulted in a pregnancy. the girl disappeared and the clues I had at the time, the child was given up for adoption. The clues I investigated led me here. I am looking to find my daughter and provide a developed relationship with her.

- Wow! - Anthony exclaimed in astonishment - does this mean that there is another heir of yours?

- Yes there is. and I will find it. I will be a father that I could never really be. My children are boys, but I always wanted to have a princess. Now this fact is possible. God heard my prayers. and I will be able to make a more advantageous agreement with you. Your son seems like a good guy.

- I don't understand...

- For business to get even bigger, and in case my daughter is found, I want her to marry your son for eight years.

- What?

- That's exactly what you heard. If your son marries my daughter, you will receive a great fortune greater than the value agreed in this small contract. I guarantee that.

- What fantastic news. You took me by surprise, Mr. Carsini... but how exactly will you find your daughter?

- In a certain time everything will be clarified.

- Right...

- There will be special contracts... you will be informed of everything at the right time.

- Ok...

Carsini was very determined to achieve his goals.

nothing could stop him. her daughter would be found.

Meanwhile , Sarah was thinking about how she would use the new pieces on a daily basis and still maintain the discretion she was used to. He needed to keep it that way to hide his whereabouts from his parents. If she appeared on TV or social media it would be very easy for her parents to find her and want to exploit her or extort money through emotional blackmail. and she no longer had the stomach or patience for it.

Which required constant vigilance and dedication. she was neither a failure nor an invalid. It took a lot to clear his name and raise money to supplement his student loans. the cost of college was high. but that was better than being used as an ATM by her family who didn't love her.

Now the intriguing experience with Roberth. Why had he decided to help in this situation? she laughed trying to understand. the most ironic thing about the situation. help really does come from unexpected places.

She had prayed and cried long into the night thinking about how she would be able to pay off the loans and suddenly the most popular and sought-after guy at the University deposited a large amount into her account in an act of "charity, kindness". and buys food, clothes, makeup and personal items, all new to her. it was difficult to understand. she stretches and starts the day with a quick routine. She wears new pants and a blouse and flat sandals. braid it and start using the new material. She was already getting ready to go to university when she heard a knock on the door. a very well dressed man says he came to look for her for an interview. without understanding anything, she agrees to follow, intrigued where this would lead.

the mysterious man asks her to blindfold her eyes. Then Sarah realizes the trouble she could be getting into. Carsini calls his lawyer privately. there was a lot to be done at that moment, and I had received confirmation of what I needed.

Now the most complicated part. I would talk to the girl in person. He had in his hands a complete dossier on Sarah's life. there was a lot to talk about. he could barely contain his excitement. in two hours or more he would be faced with the only memory that remained of his former love... the relationship was not casual as he had claimed to his friend Anthony. There was much more to this story to be unraveled. and the real culprits would soon pay.

Sarah had arrived escorted to a spacious room. she was panicking. When he took off the blindfold she was scared. her bag was sitting in front of her, and there was a tray prepared with breakfast with everything she liked. then, confused, she looked around trying to understand what was happening and if this wasn't some kind of kidnapping.

- MS. Cardenas! Do not panic! The boss will be brief with you.

....

She was having an internal panic attack. Who were those people? What did they want?

 I needed to know.

Carsini looked at the TV monitor in his living room at a scared Sarah looking confused. the emotion in his eyes was visible. nearly 20 years of searching and observation have finally yielded results. his plans were about to come to fruition. and nothing and no one would stop him. Amanda arrives in the classroom and passes by the usual place where she saw Sarah with her notebooks studying. When she doesn't see the young woman in that place, she feels panic. what was going on?
