"DO YOU THINK I was a bad mother?"Jose glanced at her. They helped the cops to find her daughter, but so far, there has been no progress with the investigation. They had just collected all the CCTV footage and were reviewing it at the station. According to the cops, it might take another hour for Michelle to hear from them.She had nothing to do but wait. Michelle was already damn worried. Every second passed, Marsha’s life was in danger. A pang of anxiety consumed her thoughts. At the same time, she blamed herself as to why Marsha ran away.

He’d been trying to make her calm, but her heart would not relax unless she got to see her daughter safe."Whenever

"I'VE GOT SOME information for you, Mr. Steinfield," the private investigator told him during a phone call.Holding a glass of whiskey, Ethan was standing across the picturesque night view of the city of Milan, which could be viewed through the wide glass window from the VIP hotel suite he stayed at. He sipped on his glass while the other hand was holding the phone right next to his ear."Hmm, entertain me. Fire it away.""Michelle Finley, 28 years old, migrated to Milan six years ago.

“SO, WHAT do you know about your father?” Ethan asked Marsha as they played catch.He threw the ball in Marsha’s direction, and was impressed when the little girl caught it without breaking a sweat. However, her shoulder sagged, perhaps because of his question.“I haven’t seen my dad yet but mommy said that he’s handsome,” Marsha replied. “He is working overseas so he can’t be with us. But I hope he comes home on my birthday. I want to see him so badly.”“Overseas?” Ethan’s forehead creased. “In which country?”“In America,” Marsha responded. “Mom told me they got married there. I know she misses dad too. I’ve seen her crying several times at night. That’s why I want dad to come home because of mom too.”Ethan stiffened in his stance, feeling the cold crawled through his skin. A bolt of fear suddenly went through him that al

Chapter 85

MICHELLE LET OUT a loud exhale as she palmed her forehead. Once again, she wasn’t able to talk to the man who helped Marsha. The more their paths crossed without a conversation, the more she felt indebted to the man. She wanted to thank him so badly for his help, for without his help, Marsha might have been involved in trouble she couldn’t ever imagine.Sighing, she went back to the alfresco area of the restaurant, only to find Marsha leaning against the wall, head lowered as if her mind was clouded by something. Michelle had always thought that her daughter was ahead of the other kids her age. She was profound, a great observer, and had a smart mouth, which, by the way, she got from her own mother."I didn’t get a chance to speak with your hero once again," Michelle remarked, walking closer to her daughter and crouching in front of her. "It seems to me that your big man is too busy to have a minute with me. So, did you play with him?"Marsha n

THE NEXT MORNING,Michelle noticed that her daughter had been quiet since they left their house. They were on the road, on their way to Marsha’s school. Her daughter was in the front seat and was continuously looking at the streets they passed by on the sidewalk.She couldn’t help but get worried, and so even though she was hesitant, she still asked her daughter, "Marsha, is there anything that bothers you?"Marsha glanced her way, giving her a shake of the head. However, Michelle did not believe it. Even if Marsha denied it, her expression told her differently."Didn’t I tell you that we should not keep secrets from each other?" she reminded her.Marsha then sighed, her fingers tapping her legs as if she was contemplating whether she would tell her what was bothering her or not."I’d be bothered if you didn’t tell me what’s wrong, sweetheart."Michelle directed the car to the right alley, and they arrived in front of the kindergarten school a few seconds later. She shifted her positi

ETHAN WENT back to the Brera Kindergarten after a few minutes. By that time, Michelle had already left the premise which would allow him to stalk Marsha without getting caught. His arm was rested on the side window, index finger gently caressing his lower lip while he was in a deep contemplation.In order to perform a DNA, he needed to get a sample of Marsha’s saliva or strand of hair. He breathed hard, knowing that his plan was not legal, for Michelle had no idea about it. However, he ran out of option. He knew Michelle would never agree performing a DNA even if he asked politely. There was no other way but to do it in a crook manner.A few hours later, the kindergarten school’s bell rang, an indication for lunch break. Ethan went to the main gate and was assisted by the guard.“May I help you, Signor?”“I’m here to visit a student. Marsha Finley,” he said.The guard nodded in response. “May I know how are you related to the kid?”“I am the man who saved her. She was the child who we

WHEN MARSHA WAS done eating her food, she went to the restroom which Ethan saw as an opportunity to take the spoon she used. He put it on a transparent zip-locked bag and hid it on the secret pocket of the suit he wore. A little boy saw what he did, but he didn’t care less and only glared at the kid.He exited the cafeteria and padded down the hallway near the restroom. Waiting for Marsha, he leaned against the wall and couldn’t help but feel excited about performing a DNA.“Mister, why are you here?” Marsha asked as soon as she went out of the restroom.He crouched down and held her arms. “I have an important meeting. I need to leave.”“That fast?” Marsha’s expression turned sorrowful.Ethan felt a pang of pain as he looked at her. His hand moved to caress her soft hair, trying to soothe her. “I will visit you again, probably tomorrow.”“Promise?” Marsha asked for pinkies swear.Ethan chuckled a bit, but then he showed her his pinky finger and interlocked it with hers.“I promise.”“

FUCKING perfect, Michelle thought after the flower vase slipped from her hands, making a cracking sound as it reached the floor. Her mouth formed a tight line. Yes, she was thinking a lot too hard all day and that made her unable to focus at her work in the flower shop.“What happened here?” The familiar voice of Jose spoke right after she heard the main door open.Michelle shook her head and shrugged. “Just a minor issue.”“The last time I checked, you also hate even minor issues.” Jose offered her a suspicious look, to which Michelle only roll her eyes.Sighing, she cleaned the floor, completely aware of Jose’s curious gaze at her, as if he wanted her to tell him what was on her mind so he could give her an advice.“I finally contacted my best friend, Megan. I guess you are right. I can’t hide the truth forever,” she remarked in defeat. “Marsha got bullied in school because she has no father to show her classmates.
