"Gianna is her name. When you are ready to meet your daughter, you know where to find me"

I was frozen in shock, unable to move or react when she left. The news that I have a daughter is overwhelming. A part of me struggled to accept it, given Leah's profession. However, I also recall that when we fucked, she worked as a cleaner. If she's telling the truth, this changes everything. I need guidance on how to navigate this situation, and I think Alessandra could provide valuable advice.

I drove for forty minutes to reach Alessandra's home, parked my car, and headed inside. I knew exactly where to find her, and she was right where I expected  surrounded by horses.

"When are you going to stop spending your days with horses?" I teased.

She turned around with a bright smile, threw her arms around me, and I chuckled, wrapping my arms tightly around her in a warm embrace.

"'You dick, I've missed you so much!' she says, breaking the hug.

"You know how busy I am, Aless,"

She adds with a huff "Let's go in, the horses are well fed already"

After moving to the outskirts of town five years ago, Alessandra built a life with Luise Miguel, and her passion for horses only grew stronger. Her cozy home, filled with the sweet scent of flowers, reflects her love for beauty and nature. She leads me to the kitchen, where I take a seat on a bar stool, and she prepares tea for us both. As we sit together, the warmth and comfort of her presence envelop me.

"'Spill!" Alessandra urges, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

"Can't I drive over forty minutes to see my sister?" I tease, trying to delay the revelation. But she's not having it.

"I know you, Dro. Start talking"

I sigh, taking a deep breath. "I have a daughter"

Instead of the shock or disbelief I expected, Alessandra squeals with delight and does a little happy dance.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?! How old is she? Who's the mother? Tell me everything" She settles back onto the stool, her enthusiasm tempered by concern. "What's going on, Dro?"

I explain the situation, from the one-night stand five years ago to the unexpected revelation today.

"Part of me refuses to believe it, but another part of me wants to believe it's true" I admit, feeling a mix of emotions.

"How about a DNA test?" Alessandra suggests. "That could answer all your questions"

I shrug, unsure of how to proceed "How am I supposed to do that? I can't just approach her and demand a DNA test. What if it turns out negative? That's just a waste of time"

Alessandra hums thoughtfully "Why don't you find a way to get close to your daughter? Maybe at her school? You could get a strand of her hair that way"

I hesitate, feeling overwhelmed. 'I have no idea what she looks like, Aless"

She raises an eyebrow. "Really, Dro? We're the Alfonso's! We can easily get our hands on any information we want, including finding out who your daughter is"

I nod, determination growing "Fine, I'll do that"

Alessandra sips her tea, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "What happens if she turns out to be your child?"

I take a deep breath "I'll take full responsibility"

Alessandra smiles, her expression warm. 'That's great, Dro. I'm really excited for you. And what about the mother? What are you going to do about her?'"
