That evening at De Luca's estate.

"Father, I believe the young woman with him looks familiar." Francisco addressed his dad. "I just can't place where I saw her." he thought to himself.

Before taking a sip of his whisky, his father gave him a hum.

After returning to their mansion from the McKinley Estate, Leonardo, Francisco, and their father Don Antonio sat in the living room and talked about what had happened earlier.

"I believe she resembles Mama Rachel." Leo spoke as he turned to face his younger brother Francisco.

They glance towards their father after hearing a thud of glass on the middle of the table. Their father said, "I told you not to utter that word again."

"Are you really going to give up like that, Father? What if she is indeed our---"

Francisco was cut off by a glass shuttered behind him, which was the glass of whisky that his father had just thrown at his side.

"I've said enough, I don't want to talk about this again." He stood up and left the living room as he said these remarks, leaving Leo and Francisco dumbfounded.

Francisco sighed deeply and rested his head on the backrest. "I'm just trying to tell him that what if that young lady is our long-lost sibling, and if she is, we'll see Mama Rachel again and ask her why she ran away? Especially with our little sister inside her womb."

"You understand why Francisco..." While scanning some papers, Leonardo told him, "Mama Rachel, can't even sleep a wink in that time that father killed someone in front of her and in that time she was pregnant to our younger sibling."

"I know that, but why?"

"The trauma that a pregnant woman witnessed will not be good for the baby. It was a wise decision to leave than having a nightmare every night and possibly stillbirth our younger sibling inside her womb," Leo said, dropping the papers he was scanning.

Francisco lets out another harsh groan. "Fuck!"

"But, yeah, I think she might be our lost little sibling," commented the man standing at the living room's entry, grasping some papers with photographs on them. He walks over to his brothers and hands them the papers. "When you told me that you saw a look-alike of Michael in one of the restaurants earlier and it's a good thing you captured some pictures of him, I immediately do a little investigation in his background and to his current family and look what I got."

Leonardo grabbed the papers from him. "When it comes to investigation, Erick, you're lightning fast."

Erick, their younger brother, scowls at him. "Of course, I would like to see Michael again. He's like a teacher to me," he explained.

Leonardo smirked at his younger brothers and shook his head in response to his remark; after reading the papers, he passed them to Francisco. Francisco scanned it quickly yet carefully, without letting any information escape into his eyes. He covers his mouth with his right hand since he can't believe the information he's receiving.

As he finishes reading it, he smirks and laughs, bringing his right hand to his forehead and laughing even louder as he leans his head against the backrest. After releasing all of his conflicted emotions, he stated, "That's why we can't even find her, she changed her full name." He sighed, "She is really a very clever woman."

"Matteo!" Yelled Leonardo.

When Leonardo called Matteo, one of their family's trusted men, he instantly went to where they were; in less than a second, Matteo was standing at the door to the living room, where the three brothers were.
