Chapter 8 - The Secret in Emma’s Birth Certificate Changed Everything
Lorenzo survived.
Under interrogation, he finally spoke.
Emma's birth certificate contained a hidden connection.
Her biological father wasn't Michael.
I stared at him.
“What?”
Lorenzo explained.
Michael had lied.
Emma's real father was someone else.
Someone connected to Alessandro.
I looked at Alessandro.
He looked stunned.
“No.”
Lorenzo smiled.
“Sofia was pregnant when she died.”
Alessandro stopped breathing.
“She gave birth before the bombing.”
My hands trembled.
“What are you saying?”
Lorenzo looked at Emma.
“She's Sofia's daughter.”
Silence.
Alessandro couldn't move.
I looked at Emma.
She was playing with her stuffed rabbit.
Unaware that everyone around her had just discovered the greatest secret in their lives.
Lorenzo explained that Sofia had secretly given birth to a daughter.
The child had been hidden to protect her from Alessandro's enemies.
I had unknowingly adopted her after her biological mother's death.
Michael had discovered the truth.
He sold it.
Rafael wanted the child because Sofia had inherited information that could destroy the Moretti empire.
Alessandro walked toward Emma.
He knelt.
Emma looked up.
“Are you sad again?”
He smiled through tears.
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“Because I found something I thought I lost forever.”
She hugged him.
He closed his eyes.

And for the first time, Alessandro Moretti cried openly.
