"Here you go, make sure it gets to him and do not mess with it or you'll have to deal with me. Is that clear?" I say to one of my father's men.

I figured giving it to someone to give to him was way better than handing it over to him myself. The guilt was eating me up and again, my heart ached.

"Yes, boss," He says with his head still facing the floor and he leaves.

So now that this whole thing is over, what now? After tomorrow, Sophia is going to hate me and whatever we have will end. Well, of course it will.

I don't want it to. I think I am in love with her and not ready to let her go, I just can't. Maybe, I've made the biggest mistake of my life and all for what? A dead person who Enzo keeps saying didn't love me?

I groan as I slump down onto the sofa. This is just bullshit! I need a drink. I walk up to the fridge in the kitchen and grab an energy drink and soon replaced it with some wine from the cabinet. I don't need to be energized, it will just make me think about all this more. I need to get drunk and sleep.

It won't help me escape the problem, but it will comfort my emotions and maybe hold it in for a while.

My eyes land on a file and as I go closer, her name appears. It was her file and everything about her life. I guess I forgot to add it to the other files. It must not be important anyway.

I pick it up and sit, preparing to just take a glance at it. There she was, on the first page, looking beautiful as always. A chuckle escaped my lips and I kept flipping. Her date of birth, adoption papers and everything was in here.

She was adopted by Ashley's parent, so it seems. No wonder she loves her so much, they are practically sisters.

The details of her parents death was also printed here. Seems like they died in a car accident and it was a rainy day too, more like a storm. Poor Sophia, she was in the car too when it happened.

August 30th, 2016. That date seemed very familiar. I gasp as the realization dawns upon me, Valentina died on that same day. Father told me that they killed Valentina, but that doesn't make any sense because of the time of Sophia's parents death, 16:30pm. Valentina died thirty minutes after.

That bastard lied to me.

I spot the address and phone number of Ashley's parents. They are the only ones who can give me answers. I check the time and see that it's pretty late to visit old people. I can't go tomorrow, it will be too late.

I pick my car keys and grab my coat.

I need answers now!

I pull up into their driveway. It was a cute house and it looked comfortable too. The lights were still on, thankfully.

I walk up to their door and ring the doorbell. Soon it was opened my a cute lady, she aged rather beautifully.
