Chapter 4 - My Daughter’s Missing Father Was Alive and Had Been Protecting Isabella’s Child, and Alessandro Realized Someone Had Lied About Both Families for Six YearsWe found him.
Daniel Carter.
My former fiancé.
Sophia's father.
Alive.
He had been living under an assumed name.
He claimed he had disappeared to protect us.
I hated him for it.
Then he told me the truth.
Isabella had discovered a conspiracy.
Someone inside Alessandro's organization planned to control his empire through her.
She became pregnant.
Her child was an obstacle.
Daniel helped her hide the baby.
Then Isabella died.
Everyone believed she was gone.
But Daniel knew the truth.
The accident had been staged.
He believed Isabella survived long enough to send Alex away.
Then she was killed.
He disappeared with Alex.
But someone found him.
He had been hunted.
That was why Sophia grew up without him.
He hadn't abandoned us.
He had been running.
Alessandro listened.
Then asked:
“Who killed my daughter?”
Daniel said:
“Your father.”
Alessandro froze.
His father had been dead for ten years.
But the old patriarch had built a network that survived him.
He had wanted the empire.
He had used family.
He had ordered Isabella silenced.
And Marco had helped.
The betrayal was enormous.
Then Daniel gave us a recording.
Isabella's final message.
“Daddy, if you hear this, I'm sorry.”
Alessandro closed his eyes.
“She knew she'd die.”
The recording continued.
“I couldn't trust anyone except Sophia's father.”
I looked at Daniel.
“Why me?”
“Because Claire—”
He stopped.
“Who is Claire?”
He looked at Alessandro.
“Your mother.”
I stared.
His mother had helped Isabella.
And she had known about Sophia.
The families were intertwined.
Then Isabella's voice returned.
“The little girl will open the door.”
My daughter.
Sophia.
The room became silent.
The door opened.
Sophia entered.

She looked at Alessandro.
“She's calling again.”
