If Gio said he had never doubted Sofony Mendez' motives and origins, then he would be lying blatantly.

He did. It was because of this that he had her life reviewed. He also had everyone near her investigated. In the process, he learned how different she was from her past self and what kind of life she had lived before.

To be honest, she was someone who would normally not become part of his life.

Sofony's identity was that low. She had no contact with the rich, had no wealth to speak of, or any special talent worthy of recognition. She's probably a woman he would only see in the streets if he ever decided to take a walk. But that itself lessens their chances of being acquainted. After all, he had a car, scratch that, cars. Why would he walk a busy street?

Perhaps, their first meeting changed it all.
