Time flee by and the event was about to end. They waited for everyone to come so they can close in prayer.

Up in the building. It was a triple storey. Ava was waiting for the lift going down to go say their final goodbyes.

While waiting Daniel came up and waited for the lift with her.

"Hey you again" said Ava

"Ava" he said "well done on your performance at the spelling bee. You did very well" he said

"Ohh thank you" she said. The lift came and they got inside.

Tell me more about your dad" he asked

"Only the stuff that I told you. He was a very good man" said Ava

"Your mom?" He asked

"Just know that she is the best. She sacrificed so much for me just to get me here" she said

"What do you think of the name Danielle" asked Daniel

"It is a good name. Why do you want to name your daughter?" She asked

"Yes" she responded

"Well she will love it" she said.

"Tu suoni il piano" he asked. (do you play piano)

"Yes I do" she said

"Puoi capire l'italiano" he asked

"Yes I can. A little bit. I think that someone from my dad's side was Italian. So maybe I knew something" she said

"Okay" he said with satisfaction. "Would you like to come to my house we have a piano there that you could play" offered Daniel

"Madre won't agree. Better if you ask her, si?"

"Va bene glielo chiederò. Abbiamo bisogno di tempo per legare" (Okay I'll ask her. We need time to bond)

"Why do we need to bond" asked Ava

"I like baby girls. Plus I feel like you understand me and we are both Italian" he said.

"Okay. We do have so much in common I mean. Green eyes brownish hair the nose and the hobbies. I mean maybe you are my relative since I know no one from my dad's side. My mom had brown eyes with black hair." said Ava

"Here let us take a picture" he offered and he took out his phone.

They took thousand of pictures. They got down there and when they were about to get out. They saw Avelina worried.

"Ava baby never leave like that and say nothing about where you are going" she said while hugging her.

"Mom I met a friend. We have a lot in common. The nose the eyes and the hair. He even plays piano like me. He promised to teach me piano when I visit him. Please give him your number so that he can send you the pictures we took. And for us to communicate. He even speaks Italian. He promised to teach me Italian when I visit him. He wants to name his daughter Danielle which is a cute name don't you think. Please maah can I visit him" begged Ava

"Well who is this friend of yours" asked Avelina with amusement.

Ava pointed at Daniel and her smile dropped.

"No" she shouted

"Madre please please please" she begged

"I said no. Now stop it" she shouted

"ma mamma voglio davvero andare a casa sua per favore"
(But mom I really want to go to his house please) said Ava

"Don't you talk Italian on me. I said no so it is not happening" she shouted.

Ava was about to cry as she felt tears in her eyes.

"guarda parlerò con tua madre. verrai a trovarci" (I will talk to your mom. You will come to visit)

"Get away from my child" she warned

"Avelina. Let us not do this in front of the child and everyone watching. If you don't trust me then you can come. We won't do anything" he said

"I said no. What did I say about talking to strangers. Anyone can have brown hair green eyes. Italian and play piano. That doesn't mean y'all are related" she said

"Sei arrabbiato perché non sai parlare italiano" (are you angry because you can't talk Italian)

"È ancora tua madre" (She is still your mom) warned Daniel

"Is everything ok?" Asked Ashley

She immediately got her answer when she saw Daniel with Ava.

"Ava dear come here" she called out as Ava ran to Ashley

"Ava thinks that she and this piece of crap are related because they speak the same language and have the same hobbies" said Avelina

"Oh..Ohhhh" said Ashley in realisation of what was going on.

"And she wants to go visit his home. A complete stranger" said Avelina.

Then Daniel approached Avelina. Close enough to her ear.

"If you don't agree then I will get my lawyers and file a parental rights all to me. You will have no control and you won't see her ever again. So choose wisely" he said.
Tears started droping from her eyes.

"You bitch" she cried

"Choose" he said.

"Fine you can go. But only for today and I need you at home before 2 okay" she said

"But ma 2 is the next hour can I stay a little longer there?" Asked Ava

"Ava my love you know the home rules. Right?" Asked Ashley

"Yes Ashley" she said sadly

"Ava will leave when she wants to leave" said Daniel

"I am sorry and who the fuck are you?" Asked Avelina

"You know exactly who I am. Or should I shout it out?" He asked

"Fuck you. I hope you do in hell bitch. You I need you at home by 2 and there are no buts especially if you want us to get along well" she said and with that she stormed off.

Ashley quickly followed. Avelina went to her car and locked herself

She quickly drove off before Ashley could catch up.

"There goes my ride" murmured Ashley

"You need a drive darling"

Ashley could recognise the voice so she turned to see Pablo.

"Yes please" she said.

Then a car and up. A sport car. The latest Mercedes Benz.

"Is this your car?" She asked in amusement

"Yup. Get in darling," he said.

I got in his comfy car. Leather seats.

"So where are you going?" He asked

"Take me to a place where there is someone to listen to me as I express my problems and a place where I can get proper food." She said fast

"Okay slow down tiger" he said as he started to drive.

"What was your dream job?" He asked
