~MALACHI'S POV~
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA
THURSDAY
11TH JANUARY 2024

I have so much work to get done and now I get a call from the school saying my son got into a fight, I don't even have to ask who. Antonio is much like his brother Marco and sometimes Dante, alway getting into fights.

I asked Dante to go and pick him up since it's almost after school, he is suspended for tomorrow and has detention the whole of next week.

I walk into my son's office, he has been doing well since he took over from me. "Alessandro, you need a break. You have been working since last night. You haven't even eaten yet, come on son." I care about my kids so much and I try my hardest to protect each and every one of them. It was hard when El left and took my little Bambina with her, I tried so hard to hate her but I can't. Still look for them everyday. I never ever will give up until my little Rose is at home safe.

I look back at my eldest son and sigh. "Can you atleast come down and eat lunch then I'll leave you, I know we have a meeting to prepare for later today but please come eat." I plead with him and he finally looks up at me. "Fine papa let's go." He looks exhausted.

We walk downstairs and see that the younger boys are home from school and the older ones are back from work. All my boys. "Antonio after lunch my office, me and papa want to speak with you." Alessandro tells his little brother.

He knows how to handle these boys and I tried to tell him that he doesn't have to do that, I'm the father but he insisted that he wants to teach them the proper ways of life.

We all sit down and the chefs bring out the food. Suddenly my phone starts ringing, I excuse myself from the table and walk to the living room.

I don't recognize the number but it could be business, I hit the answer button and put the phone up to my ear. "Good Afternoon Sir, I'm calling you from Providence Police Department. Is this Mr Valentino I'm speaking to?" The lady on other end of the call asks, why would someone be calling me from Rhoad Island. I don't have any business there not that I know of. "Yes this is him speaking." I reply. "Ok wonderful, now the reason I called is I regret to inform you that Lewis Oliver has passed on." She says. I don't know anyone by that name. "I think you have the wrong number, I don't know any Lewis Oliver." I was about to end the call. "Wait there's another reason I've called, Lewis was actually the legal guardian of your daughter Rosalie Valentino." Say says and it takes me a while to hear what she said and if I heard right. "My little Rose, did you say you found my little girl." I asked shocked. "Yes Mr Valentino, she's hear at the station right now." She says. "What about her mother." I don't know why i asked about her but I did.

For the longest time I thought when I find her I would ask her why she did it, why she took away my little baby away from her family. Why she left her sons and why she left me. "Mrs Ashmore and Mr Ashmore passed on a long time ago she's been living with her uncle Lewis and now I'm hoping you would be willing to take her in." So she got married and left my child alone with so,e stranger. "That shouldn't even be a question. I'll be there to pick her up. I'm leaving right now." My Bambina, I've found her. She's coming home. "Thank you for your time Mr Valentino, I'll let her know right away." She says and I greet her and end the call.

I walk back into the kitchen. All the boys look at me. "Papa what's wrong you look like you've seen a ghost." Luca one of my younger boys says and his other brother Antonio smacks the back of his head. "We need to leave now and go to Providence." The words rush out and they all look at me confused. "Why what happened, there's no business in Providence so far." Alessandro says. "They found her." I say, I can't get my words out properly. I'm still in shock and can't believe it. "Who, what do you mean. Who did they find?" Dante asks. Alessandro and Adrian stood up, they knew. They know who. "Papa are you being serious, is it actually her." Adrian asks and I nod.
