Knocking on the door Yasmin Giselle and Keisha waited out side of the Alessandro mansion, through all the ups and downs and everything that went on with their money they were surprisingly able to keep their mansion.

"You're here for Daddy, right?" Adelina asked.

Yasmin nods her head scooting over Adelina says. "Daddy's expecting you, he's waiting for you in his study."

The girls followed Adelina down the long mansion hallway in silence as they studied their surroundings. Making it to the door of her dad's study Adelina steps aside to let the three women in.

Watching Yasmin walk in first Mr. Alessandro flashes her a quick closed smile as he says. "Ahh, you must be Yasmin."

Looking at Mr. Alessandro was weird, he looks like an exact copy of Noah, almost like God put Mr. Alessandro into a copy maker and pressed copy. The only difference is Mr. Alessandro is noticeably older and has gray hair.

"Yes."

"Have a seat." Mr. Alessandro says stepping aside to allow the three girls to sit in the chairs that sat behind him, as Adelina quickly takes a seat on her dads desk.

"So." Giselle says as they sat down on the fancy chair.

"Do you guys want anything to drink?" Mr. Alessandro asked.

"No, thank you." The three replied in unison as Mr. Alessandro takes a seat across from them.

"You wanted to tell us something about Ms. Alessandro?" Yasmin asked.

Rubbing his legs as he lets out a deep breath Mr. Alessandro gets up in dead silence, walking over to the window Mr. Alessandro pushes back the curtains that faced his back yard, watching birds land on the bird bath he lets out another deep sigh. "I don't even know where to start."

"Take your time." Keisha replies.

Giselle snaps her head to Keisha like a vulture, the last thing they needed was for Mr. Alessandro to take his time. "What- rushing him isn't going to make it any easier!"

Mr. Alessandro lets out another deep breath. "Before Noah was born, I had an affair, I wasn't happy in my marriage, so I stepped out." Mr. Alessandro admitted causing Adelina to let out a shocked gasp.

"Daddy!" Adelina exclaims in shock. Part of her didn't blame him, she's lived with her mother 100% of her life, so she knew how her mom could get. She could see why her dad would step outside of their marriage, but still she wasn't expecting to ever hear those words come out of his mouth.

"Who can blame you, that woman is...." Giselle begins to say only to be stopped by an elbow to the gut from Keisha.

"Her name was Audrey she was as beautiful on the inside as she was on out."

"Okay." Giselle says as Adelina scoot forward in interest.

Letting out another deep breath Mr. Alessandro mumbles. "This is going to be hard." After a delayed response Mr. Alessandro continues with. "Audrey and I had a child."
