"I have my sources. Finding you was still very difficult though." My father said."I am sure you do have many sources, as you say. But why now? Why are you here for me now? What do you want from me?" I showered him with my questions.I was angry that he did not come for me earlier when I was with Adriano. Deep inside a little part of my heart is happy that I have a parent."It's a long story and you need to be really open-minded before considering it. I am sorry that I did not come looking for you before, but I had my reasons." He said and it broke it. "I am here to ask, no I am here, begging you to do me a favour."He gave me up in the first place and now he is here to ask some favours from me? He cannot be serious right now.The words that came out of his mouth infuriated me.The realisation hit me. He is not here for me, he is here just so that I can consider his offer and do him a favour."Really!"I laughed a little at his face, in expressions filled with sarcasm."Oh and here I t

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

"Four years ago, my life took a drastic turn again. I got a call saying that person wants to meet me. Instantly, without wasting a single second I recognised the voice. It was Maria." My father told me."She said she just wants to meet me and talk for a few minutes.""What could it be after so many years, I thought. The curiosity took over me so I made up my mind to go and meet her.""I booked a seat in one of the most expensive restaurants. I do not deny that I wanted to show her, what she could have had if she hadn't cheated on me.""When I saw her entering, I couldn't believe my eyes. Maria looked so pale and weak. It seemed like life hit her really hard. She rushed to me and hugged me. It took everything in me to not hug her back. And then tears ceaselessly started flowing down her cheeks." My father looked sad himself as he kept narrating his story to me."She finally revealed that she is suffering from cancer. I asked her about my best friend, whether they were married or not. Sh

"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

"You have kids? I thought they were your flatmate's kids." My father asked with surprise. He thought that the kids belonged to Sofia."Aida and Emma are mine." I cleared him."You have two kids?" He raised his eyebrows."Well actually, I gave birth to Emma, and as for Aida, I adopted her as one of my own." I felt a little hesitant in giving him this information but I don't want to lie to anyone without a solid reason.We need hundreds of lies to cover up one lie. My brain is too exhausted taking care of the kids and doing the job, that I am in no mood create a whole story in my head that supports my lies."Why did you adopt her? Where are Aida's parents? Do you know them?" My father kept bombarding me with questions."And most importantly, are you married? Who is your husband? Who is the father of your child? Salvatore was capable enough to find you, but he has no idea about your marriage or children. Right, Salvatore?" My father turned and looked at Salvatore."I am quite unaware of i

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

Nights after the incident with Aida and that stranger, I couldn't sleep properly.Emma, Aida and I, we started sleeping in the same bedroom. I am afraid that the stranger might come again and take my kids away, or might harm them in any way.I started to get excessive dreams about Adriano and our married life. The mind games he used to play, the tricks he did, the way he manipulated me, the innumerous times he lied to me. I couldn't stop myself from venturing deep in those thoughts.'Stop overthinking about the past, you need to get over it. You cannot change what happened in the past, so instead of thinking about how bad things were, you should focus on keeping your children safe and away from every trouble.' I reminded myself.I registered a complaint in the police station, but no one cooperated with me. They said Aida is safe and sound, and she might be feeling bad as she had a fight with Emma on the same night, that's why she would have gone to the park. They completely neglected

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
