Alexander Romano's POV
14 years is a long time almost 1 and a half decades and when I think that it's been that long since I saw my piccolos (baby), I am almost in tears, I miss them very much. I know I sent them to the orphanage, but I thought when the Russian's problem will get solved, I will get them back, but I couldn't. I didn't have the heart to see them, and I didn't get the opportunity to.
the whole situation was getting tense day by day and it was leading towards a big war in which only the leader would survive but I wanted to survive very badly so I proposed a death to the Russian mafia leader, giving them Adina's marriage with his eldest son, the heir, Ivan Petrov. but sadly, this problem took too many lives and time, around 4 years. and one of those lives was my wife, Alexa Romano.
after a collected decision, we decided it's time to get the triplets back because they were needed now especially Adina to seal the deal and not have any more bloodshed between the two mafias but luck wasn't on our side, when we reached the orphanage to get them back we saw that the owner of the orphanage has already given them away to another family and we couldn't them as we didn't know who they were as it was not recorded for some reason. it was very frustrating for me because if before Adina turns 18, I couldn't show her to the Russian leader and on their 18th birthday, they don't get married, the deal would get broken but since it has many years still, he said to give details about her every year but now all that is ruined.
I care about Adina; I truly do but she is a girl and girls are weak and I don't want my family to be weak because weak die in our world, so the best option was to give her away in the form of a marriage alliance. I want Alessio and Amir back also because as they are boys, they could protect the family and make it strong, so I don't have to take all the burden.
"Dad we are late for the meeting," my son Antonio said while fixing his coat waiting for me as I was going to reply to him, my phone rang. I saw the number it was a New York number so I was confused as to why they would call me, but still, I accepted their call and heard " hello is this, Alexander Romano?" I replied, "who asking that question", he replied " sir, this is Seb Grande, head Police of the New York Police station", I was confused about why they would call me so I asked " what do you need, I am a busy man, make it quick" the next word he said made a smile on my face because I could seal the deal now. "Sir your children, the triplet has no adult to look after them as of the moment as their stepfather died in the car accident so would you like to take their custody, or we can send them to another foster care"
I quickly replied to them "yes I like would take them in, when can I take them" he replied " you can take them now, they are at the school currently so you can go to their school New High in southern New York" I said ok and hung up the call then turn to Antonio and said "cancel the meeting we are going to get triplets back" when I said that I could see the shock on his face, I just left him there and called my pilot to get the plane ready. I came back inside the house and said to him "let's go" to which he just nods.
