(Father of Laura)

I'm sitting in my home office here in New York with my three eldest sons going through our legal businesses. My eldest son, Alessandro (26), is the CEO of Rossi Enterprises. He became CEO a year ago following my retirement.

Our family owns casinos, clubs, hotels, and a security company all under the "Rossi" name.

Alessandro is also the current Don of the American Mafia. He took over that position a year ago. My second eldest, Matteo (24), is his second in command. My third eldest, Elijah (22), is Alessandro's third in command and sniper for the mafia. Those two are fairly young to be in such high and powerful positions in the Mafia, but prove that they are the right men for the job everyday. I couldn't be more proud of my sons.

Interrupting my paperwork I get a call on my cell phone from an unknown number.

"Hello" I say in a cold tone

"Hello this is Cassie Matthews from Social Services in Chicago. Is this Salvatore Rossi?"

"Yes, this is he. What is this about?" I say confused

"Hi Mr. Rossi, I'm calling because in our database you are listed as the father of a Laura Giovanna Scarlett Rossi. Is that correct?"

"Yes yes that's my daughter what's going on?!" I ask anxiously

"Well, her mother and stepfather have recently passed away and she needs a guardian. I was hoping you'd be able to take her in. If not, then she'll have to go into foster care." Mrs. Matthews explains

oh my god.

she's alive.

thank God she's alive.

oh my principessa

my baby

"Mr. Rossi are you there?"

"YES! I'm here. When can I see her? Is she okay?"

"We just dispatched one of our officers go find her. I will update you when we have more information on that. I can send the address of the station along with her adoption paperwork to the email we have listed on file. I see you live in New York, is that correct?"

"Yes that's correct. Please send that information as soon as you can!" I say with tears in my eyes

"Definitely! I will call you back later when we get more information on Laura. We will see you in a few hours!"

"Yes see you soon! Thank you for finding my baby" I say now crying

"Of course Mr. Rossi. Goodbye"

"Goodbye"

I sit there with so many emotions and questions coursing through my veins

how was her life?

does she remember us?
