Thank you so much❤️❤️

"What do you think you are saying, Vincenzo?" Alexander breaks the silence first.

"The DNA matched, that is what we are going to tell the others if anyone is suspicious about her identity. We are going to keep her here until we get Ariana back. Meanwhile, we will introduce this girl as Ariana." Vincenzo states calmly.

"You can't do this, Vincenzo! We can't use her like this. Let the poor girl get back to her home." Luciano tries to say but Vincenzo cuts him off.

"This girl you are talking about is someone who ran away from her own family."

"That's what our Ariana has done." Romeo sighs. Disappointment is visible in his eyes.

"Yes. Ariana has done this for her own selfish reasons. But this girl Athena has different case. I have found out almost every thing about her. Since the time she turned 3 years old, her existence turned non-existent. Because her foster parents never allowed her to step out of the house and miraculously she decided to runaway just a week ago. The police found her and identified her as missing Ariana because nobody really had seen Athena in the real world. Their facial features are strikingly identical just like twins. Surprisingly, Athena is a little smart despite her naive self, she chose to runaway from the police too but got caught in accident. They finally got her but she escaped again and nobody really had seen her for next three days until our men found her walking on the road and she was taken here." Vincenzo explains answering every questions of his brothers.

"It pretty much explains why Ari- I mean Athena was so desparate to leave. She did not want to come here at the first place. The poor girl has endured so much in past and now you want to use her like this. This is wrong, Vincenzo." Luciano speaks with a heavy sigh.

"I don't care what is right or wrong at the moment now. We can't just send her out of here now...The news has been already out." Vincenzo states the fact.

"Don't tell me that Grace had a press conference to announce that?" Alexander asks suspiciously. He groans when Vincenzo nods his head and says.

"It is again beneficial to us. Ariana will probably see this news and maybe, she will decide to come out from hiding!"

"It took us just a little time to get suspicious that she is not Ariana. How do you think the people will believe that stupid dumbass girl is Ariana?" Vittorio finally breaks his icey silence.

"A little lie will work here. She lost all of her memories in the accident she met at the time she was about to be taken here." Others nod at Vincenzo's words looking careless about the whole situation but Luciano still looks worried.

"What about her foster family?" Alexander asks.

"I have already handled them. But make sure one thing that Athena does not know that we know that she is not Ariana."

Athena looks at the walls of Ariana's room. Only thought that is ringing in her mind is to leave this huge house instantly. She is not the person these people are thinking of. She just wants to get out of here and live her life freely.

Athena is called in the dining room at the dinner time. She takes her seat silently and fiddles with her fingers. Vittorio enters first. He smirks upon seeing her looking lost in thought. He takes a seat right beside her.

"Hello, Ariana!" He grins as she jumps a little in surprise and looks up at him with wide eyes and then she finally notices that he is sitting beside her today.

"You know what is today?" He asks her. Athena shakes her head faintly. She immediately begin to feel nervous when he raises his brow at her with no earlier smile on his face.

"You seriously don't remember?" Athena gulps and anxiously scratches her palm with her nails.

"How can you fucking forget this?" He asks her with an angry facade on his face but internally he is enjoying the sight of unshed tears in her eyes.

"I feel like that you are not even Ariana!" All of this interrogation has caused her lips to quiver.

"What's happening here?" Luciano's voice rings in the room. His eyes meets her teary ones and he immediately feels his heart clench.

"Luciano! Look! Ariana forgot that it is Saturday night. She waits for weekend night the whole week to go out to party with her best friends." Vittorio chuckles loudly with playfulness evident in his eyes. Athena avoids looking at him.

"She is not allowed to go out. I think your brain is not working. You forgot that she is grounded." Out of nowhere, Romeo arrived for her rescue.

His words eases a little weight from her shoulders. She has zero idea about Ariana's bestfriends and even worse about Ariana herself.

Vittorio glares at his twin. Ignoring him, Romeo just shares a small smile with Athena who is finally able to breathe properly.
