CHAPTER 5

(PIER ROMANO'S POV)

As I sit in my office reading the paperwork sent from the Spanish mafia, I take a sip of the wine which is sitting next to me on the desk.

My personal phone begins to ring, which confuses me as no one ever calls on my personal phone. However, I still pick up.

"Hello this is the London police station is this, Pier Romano?" a woman asks professionally making me scrunch my eyebrows in confusion.

"Yes, I am" I reply in a monotone.

Why are the London police calling me when I live in la? I wondered bewildered.

"We are here with your daughter Aria Romano in her school as your ex-wife has just passed away in a car accident." she informs with sympathy laced in her words.

At that moment the wine glass that was currently in my hand slipped and fell on the floor smashing into a million pieces.

FUCK- my daughter, is this a joke? I wonder how she must be feeling. she is probably heartbroken; however, I'm overjoyed by the news. then a thought popped into my head, and I asked the lady with anger laced in my words.

"If this is a fucking joke ill find you and kill you" I said angrily this isn't the first time we have been given false hope.

"No sir this isn't a joke, and you can come pick her anytime you want, or she will be sent to an orphanage" she says professionally, however I could feel the fear radiating from her voice.

I ask where my daughter is and tell them I'll be there by 6pm. it was 7am right now so I had to call my pilot and get the jet ready.

saying goodbye to the lady, I called the pilot.

"Get the jet ready now we are leaving immediately" I said coldly trying to show no emotion though it was almost impossible.

my baby girl is coming home I think as tears finally start to rim my eyes. I quickly began to dial Alessandro's number with my shaky hands trying to compose myself.

"Get your sister and the boys down in the dining room now i have some news i need to share with you all" I say hurriedly wanting to see my boy's reaction to the news.

walking downstairs, I see Marco coming down with a groaning Mario by his side.

"I was actually trying to do some work for the first time in my life and you called me downstairs this better be important dad" he says which earns him a slap on the head from Marco.

"Just shut the fuck up and stop complaining" he snapped.

"LANGUAGE" Alessandro shouts outraged by their words.

sometimes he acts more like their father than I do but I don't mind it just gives me less stress and helps me a lot. they all are here except their sister, so I asked where she is.

"where's your sister."

"She in a meeting dad" Alessandro answers

"Actually, I'm here"

"But what about your meeting" I asked her.

"I already told them to have it without me."

"Okay then sit."

"kk"

She still acts like a child. I told them about the call and about their sister and they were ecstatic, and we agreed that Mia would accompany me to pick her up while the boys prepare for her arrival. when everything was settled I and Mia left, during the car ride Mia couldn't stop bombarding me question?

"Dad, do you think she will like us? what if that woman has poisoned her mind against us? would she have a boyfriend? o god I'm so excited to see her ill make sure I'm her favorite."

"Ok we would find out about all that when we see her now, we reached the airport so let's go."

"Ok dad"
