I couldn't believe my eyes, this had to be some kind of voodoo.

She looks like me, her green eyes, her dark brown hair. I could see the same facial expression on Armani's face.
" I-I'm...n-number...f-fforty-nine," the girl stammered, her voice trembling. "T-that's...m-my...n-n-name." she doesn't have a name, number 45 that's all she has been all her life. Aliko walked in as we were asking the girl some questions. I was still bothered by this girl's appearance.
" Aliko, who is she and why does she stay here. She must be what 5 or something. A child this young shouldn't even be in this program. Have things really changed so much after I left?" I asked Aliko.
" I don't know how long number forty nine has been kept here but I think that she was brought here when she turned one or two. Rumour has it that she is Viktor's girl but we are not sure that is the truth because I don't think Viktor would have allowed his only daughter to be living here like an animal. Viktor would give orders to Vaselissa to clean her up or give her food, basically just keep her alive.
Vaselissa, that name rang a bell, she was the Armando's doctor and she ripped Leo out of my womb as instructed by Armando. I remember falling unconscious as she was cutting my womb open and then waking up to her on my face after I regained consciousness she gave Leo to me and told me I had given birth to a healthy boy.
" Bring her to me, she must be somewhere around. I need answers now" I instructed and Aliko compiled. Minutes later Vaselissa was dragged in by Aliko and Lee Jae-Hwan. She smiled when she saw me, it wasn't that she was glad to see me, it was mocking.
" Who is she? You have been taking care of her right? Is she Viktor's daughter? Is she...." I couldn't ask the question that was plaguing my mind.
" Yes to every question you have asked.... Even the question you were afraid to ask. She is number forty nine, Leonidas was number forty eight. Do the math , number thirteen. You were never pregnant with one child and after you fell unconscious during labour I did a C section on you and you had twins, a girl and a boy, number forty eight and number forty nine. The catch is, they weren't from the same father. The boy was Armando's kid and the girl was Viktor's kid. The only reason Number fourth nine was not killed at birth or even after that is because Viktor fought for her, in his own way I guess. That girl over there is yours and Viktor's child or should I say was Viktor's child since I heard you had your brothers have fun with him and Dimitri.
" You are lying, how is that even possible. Twins from different fathers? I ask, refusing to believe the truth. "Is this all her life has been?" I ask with a small voice.
" It's all she has ever known, this dark cell and the bathroom you saw to the left door. She has never seen the sunlight or even left this cell, it's home. What are you going to do know that you know who she is, I assume you have gotten to Armando judging from the blood that you are covered in." When she says that I recall that I'm still covered in Armando's blood. My first encounter with my spawn and I'm covered in someone's blood, great just great.
" Armani take her and Vaselissa they are coming with us back to Italy.," I said and then moved to Vaselissa as I whispered in her ear," the only reason Im not killing you is because you are the only person she knows and she is scared of all of us. Si don't count your chickens before they hatch." I say as I walk out to go get myself cleaned up. After I changed my clothes Aliko, Armani, Lucas, Lee Jae-Hwan, Bruno, Vaselissa, the spawn and I drove to the airport. The rest of our men would follow us after cleaning up the mess we left at Armando's place, it was truly a bloodbath.
The little girl had a panic attack before the jet took off and Lucas had to sedate her. She worries me, how fragile she is.
"How are you feeling about all of this. I know this took you by surprise and you are still trying to wrap your mind around this but Andrea please don't push her away, she needs her mother. You are all she has," Diego said as he held my hand. Those words rang on my mind, I am all she has.
We arrived at the house Vaselissa took her inside along with Lucas to lay her there. When we walked in we were met with the rest of the family arguing about something at the living room. I wasn't really paying attention to what they were arguing about until he spoke and I raised my head and saw that it was really him. He was here, awake, alive, home again. He walked over to me using his crutches I met him halfway and crashed him into a hug.
" Principessa, I'm very happy to see you. I'm sorry about everything that happened while I was away." He said as he placed a kiss at the top of my head.
" No, I'm the one who is sorry dad. About everything, I wasted so much time, pushed you away and punished you for Zeus taking me away, Armando being your twin, you didn't deserve any of it. I'm sorry I was a bad daughter and it took me to lose you to realise how important you are to me. You did protect me dad, the only reason everything happened was because you were not there, I know had you been there things would have been different." I said just pouring out my heart to him. It was all true, I just realised it very late, my dad Allesandro Bianchi would have moved heaven and earth to find me had he known Zeus and Armando had kidnapped me.
" Okay, it's only my first day back don't get me emotional now Principessa. Who is the lady and the little girl sleeping in her hands?" Dad asked.
" Um Nina can you please take Vaselissa upstairs so they can rest," I instructed and as they climbed the stairs I continued to talk.
" Well it turns out ironically enough I have a daughter I had never met. She was taken out me and away and they kept Leonidas with me which is why I thought I only had a son. Viktor was her sperm donor, I don't know why they kept her in a dark cell, even I had a little more freedom but I guess we will never know now." I said trying to give only the key details.
" Wow I did not see that coming, I guess Nico has a little friend now. If you are planning to keep her Sorella" Antonio said, more like pleaded for me to agree to let her be a part of our lives.
" A granddaughter, how are you feeling about the news and I take it all went well in Russia Principessa?" Mama asked. I don't know how I'm feeling about the news. It is all just too much right now.
" Aunty Andry ,What is her name? If she is your child she must be pretty right? " Nico asked in a sweet squeaky voice.
" Um well... She is very pretty, she even has green eyes like you." I took a deep breath before I continued. I knew my decision would have a lasting effect on that little girl's life.
" Her name is Alexia Thalia Bianchi now excuse me everyone, I need to go and check up on my daughter." When the words left my mouth I myself couldn't believe them, it all sounded surreal.i think it was only appropriate that I give her a name, she can't be called a number all her life, if I ever had a daughter I was always going to name her Thalia and I decided to put Alexia as her first name as a tribute to my fratellino.I had a daughter, she is here, with me.
