Chapter 10 - I Gave Sophia a Room in My Mansion, and the Little Girl Who Called Me “Sir” Finally Started Calling Me Something I Never ExpectedI offered Elena a permanent position.
She refused.
She wanted independence.
I gave her a house.
She hesitated.
“Why?”
“Because your daughter saved my life.”
“She doesn't expect anything.”
“I know.”
Elena cried.
Sophia hugged me.
“Are you my friend?”
I smiled.
“Yes.”
Then she asked:
“Can I call you Alessandro?”
I nodded.
She thought for a second.
“No.”
“Why?”
“Sir sounds funnier.”
I laughed.
But a few months later, she slipped.
“Dad—”
She stopped.
Her face turned red.
I looked at her.
Neither of us spoke.
Then I smiled.
“You can call me whatever you want.”
She hugged me.
And for the first time in years, the word didn't feel strange.
“Dad.”
I closed my eyes.

It was a simple word.
But it meant more than any title I'd ever held.
