"Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; and therefore is winged Cupid painted blind." - William Shakespeare.

Alexander POV~

I got to my penthouse after talking with my father about the collaboration. I wanted to forget about all of this. For now. I called Victoria to take my mind off things.

Few minutes later

"So, what did you call me for?" Victoria said while taking off her coat and throwing it to the floor. She was wearing a black lace lingerie. She came closer and closer to me with little to no space left between us.

We both made love. If you can call it that. My relationship with Victoria is strictly sex and that's it. All night I couldn't stop thinking about the company, and how my father wants me to do the collaboration.

A weeks later

In the morning I went out to the office. So I could think a bit more about the collaboration. When I got there I sat down in my chair to look out the window. I turned and a few of my papers flew off my desk. I picked up a few of the papers, but when I saw the envelope that was sent to me months ago. I remembered every single word that I read. That letter haunted me for many days. Just knowing that I had a baby. I tried to find out who sent the letter. The only thing I got was more words I didn't understand.

I walked to one of my many bookshelves and put the letter in one of my books. I heard a knock on the door. I went and sat down in my chair, and let the person in. It was my father. He walked in with another man that looks very familiar. I feel like I was suppose to know him.

"Alexander this is Silverio Hazeldine." My dad said.

"Hello Alexander, it's nice to meet you." Silverio said holding his hand out. I shook his hand.

"I would like you to meet my daughter Elbertina." Silverio said facing the door.

The person that was said to be Elbertina came into the room. Elbertina looked a bit malnourished. She looked very frail and fragile. She walked to her dad, and her dad put his arm around her shoulder.

"Alexander, this is Elbertina your partner for this project." My father said with a big smile looking proudly at both me and Elbertina.

Elbertina POV~

I came to New York just two days ago. I couldn't come right away. I wanted to have both of the twins baptized in the church where I got baptized when I was a baby.

When all of us arrived at the penthouse we all got settled in, and finished moving and arranging our things.

The next morning I was getting ready to meet my father and Zenzo Piras at his office. I got to meet Zenzo Piras in person. I got to see where all of their plans and ideas come from. He greeted me with a smile and said "I'm so happy that you agreed on doing this project Elbertina."

All three of us walked to Alexander's office. Zenzo told me to wait a little bit so I did. I was looking at the pictures that Anna sent me of both Catalina and Adriano.

When my dad said my name I walked into the room. Alexander looked the same when I saw him months ago. I stood in the middle of my father and Zenzo. 

"Hello Alexander, I'm really excited for this collaboration." I said to Alexander. 

"It's um...... it's very nice to work with you Elbertina." He said stammering.

"Elbertina, right over here is your desk." Zenzo said walking to my desk.

"Really, can I put my papers onto my desk." I said walking with Zenzo.

"Yes you can. You can do it right now since you have to come to this office in the morning. Well, I think we should get going. Also Elbertina, you can stay and get used to being here." Zenzo said. Zenzo and my father then walked out of the room and left Alexander and me alone in his office. Well, I mean it's now our office.

I got started putting papers around my desk and inside my desk. Until I heard a word, but I didn't know what it was.

"Did you say something?" I said 

"No, I didn't say anything. Why do you ask?" He said.

"Nothing I just heard something. That's all." I said.

There was silence for a few minutes until Alexander spoke up.

"So how have you been, Elbertina." He said.

"I've been good. Why do you ask?" I said.

"Mostly because we haven't seen each other for about two years now, and mostly because last time I saw you, you had different colored of hair and bangs. So I was just asking." He said.

"Ohhh....um well I changed my hair just around the end of January, and I also let my hair grow out so that's why I don't have bangs any more." I said looking at him kind of concerned about why he is asking these kind of questions. 

Both of us talked for a few hours about what we did as a child. We both laughed and smiled at each other.

I want to tell him, but I can't. I can't tell him that he's the father of my children. I've known that he was the father, since I was pregnant with the twins. I didn't tell my dad mostly because he would make it a bigger deal that it is.

"So has anything new happened this year?" He said.

Should I tell him I have twins? His father does know that I have twins, but I never told his father that his son is the father of my children.

"Yeah, just a few months ago I....um gave birth to my baby twins." I said looking at the floor.

"You have kids?!" He said

"Yeah. Also why do you seem like I can't be pregnant?" I said finally looking at him the eyes.

"It's just, I never thought you would get pregnant at the age of eighteen." 

"Really. There many girls that get pregnant earlier than that." I said.

"That is true and I......um I'm sorry for what I said." He said

"Is "Mr. Playboy" getting nervous about what I said?" I asked him.

"No it's just. Actually yes, because the father of your children is going to hear what I said to you." 

"The father is not in the picture, actually." I said.

"Really, then who is the father?" He said being considerate.

"He's just someone I don't want to know." I said smiling.

Will Elbertina tell Alexander that he's the father of her twins, or will she keep the secret to herself?
