Myra's POV

''Mommy, mommy wake up.'' Giada patted me softly on my cheeks and I opened my eyes slowly. 

''Yes, baby good morning.''

''Morning Mommy we are not in our house.'' She said looking around and at the huge bed we had slept in. I know I have some explanations to do.

''Yes, baby but I will tell you where we are after I give you a shower okay,'' I told her kissing her on top of the head. The room that we were in was huge and beautiful. I looked around and noticed a double door. That must be the bathroom. The bathroom was the size of my apartment and I felt envious of how people could afford such lavish lifestyles. But hey we are in a mafia man's house so what did you expect I asked myself.

After showering we found clothes placed on the bed. Mine and Gia's. I dressed and also helped Gia into hers. The clothes were quite fancy. After dressing I followed the same hallway I had followed yesterday but this time took a right turn because I heard voices and cutlery noises coming from there probably it is the kitchen or the dining area, so we went, holding Gia by the hand. I opened the door and a large group of about twenty men were seated on the table and the room fell silent. I stared at them because I was lost for words, but Gia spoke.

''Hello?'' She said and all the men turned to her. A couple of hellos and hi came from them. Gia is a courageous little girl; she is not shy. And as the not courageous one, I am so proud of her.

Tony assisted us to get settled and eating breakfast. No one spoke not even Damien. Just spoon and plate clicking. After breakfast, the men left leaving Damien and his usual friends. Earlier on I had explained to Gia about the house we were in, and she was excited to know that it was Damien's house. And I also told her about our trip to the hospital leaving the part of seeing if she was Damien's daughter.  

We drove to the hospital and Damien and Gia's samples of saliva and hair were taken. We were told the results would arrive in three to five days, so we headed home. Still, my days off work were on so I was idle as hell. But staying in Damien's house would not be boring because there is a lot to see. After the trip to the hospital, I and Gia spent the whole afternoon getting familiar with people and the surrounding. Damien had left saying they had to go somewhere.

Damien's POV

My phone had rung earlier on, and it was the hospital Miranda was in, so we had to go. 

''Sir Damien the medicine we had been giving her has been working on her and she is starting to communicate.'' The doctor said as I followed him. I was really glad that she was starting to communicate because we had a lot to talk about and ask her. We arrived at the room she was in. A nurse was measuring her blood pressure. The doctor asked her to leave to give me space and time alone with her. 

''Miranda,'' I said and she turned her head to look at me.

''Damien?'' She said weakly. ''I am sorry.'' She said with tears. ''I just wanted us to be together and love each other.''

''Not with this again Miranda,'' I said getting irritated that all she could think about is me and her and not even a remorseful feeling about our child that she got rid of years ago. It was sickening.

''Where did you take the child Miranda?'' I asked.

''I gave it to someone I do not know where he took it.'' She said crying.

''Someone? Who is this Someone?'' I asked her. She better tell because this someone is dead. She zoned out. ''Miranda who is this person that you gave the baby to?'' I asked getting angry.

No answer. She just stared at me. ''I do not remember.'' She spoke.

''You do not remember? Are you trying to cover up for this person?'' I asked.

''No Damien I do not remember. I do not know; I do not remember.'' She spoke.

''Miranda, I never thought you were capable of such but do not worry I do not want you to die before I show our daughter.'' 

''O.. I. Our daughter?'' She stammered. ''But she is dead Damien, she has to be dead. No Damien she is dead.'' She repeated.

''Yeah, to you she is,'' I said and left. I heard her scream my name but I wanted to be anywhere but not in this hospital with her heck! 

''What? What person? Tony asked. After I told them what she said.

''I do not know she did not say the name she said she cannot remember,'' I said trying to think of the possible people who could have helped her. The only person that was close to her was her father, but he wanted the marriage to be so that when his daughter got pregnant, he was very happy.

''This is even complicated,'' Joaquin added. ''If we have to find this person, where will we start? How did they even communicate?'' 

'' What do you suggest we do now?'' Leo asked. I thought for a while and told them after the DNA results are out, we will think of something. 



Hello, again I  hope you all love the book. If by any chance the names are familiar from somewhere do not take it the wrong way,  it is pure coincidence.
