Vanessa's eyes gleamed with greed and wickedness. "I know my part very well, and I will give Alessandro an heir who will rule the Italian malia after him."

Maria nodded, satisfied with Vanessa's response. Exactly. Once you're married, you'll have access to everything. Just remember, this is about securing our family's future. Alessandro's leadership in the mafia is unmatched, and having a child with his name will solidify our control."

Vanessa's cunning smile grew wider. "Don't worry, Aunt Maria. I'll handle it. Alessandro will never know what hit him, and soon, the entire empire will be within our

Maria patted Vanessa's arm approvingly. "Good. Now, go make sure he sees you in the best light. We don't have time to waste."

Vanessa nodded, her mind already plotting the next steps.

"By the way, did you also notice that bitch looks similar to Alessandro's dead wife essa

Maria took a deep breath, looking back as if she could see Mia through the wall. "You won't believe how similar they both are," she sighed. "No wonder Alessandro mistook her for his

wife.

"But how is it possible for two people to be exactly similar? I mean, there should be some differences, right?" Vanessa insisted, looking at Maria intently.

"I was wondering the same thing. Not a single difference, same complexion, hair, height, and voice. The only difference was the confidence and elegance that woman exuded. However, Aria was so slim you could count her bones through her skin, while this woman has curves in all the right places," Maria explained. "Still, I need to confirm something," she said, pulling out her phone from her Chanel clutch.

She dialed a number and waited for the call to coCt. "Listen, I need details of a woman"

Her skeptical gaze met Vanessa's, and an unspoken understanding passed between them.

"Let's wait for the information to come," Maria said darkly. "Now, if you're done inspecting the house, can we return? I need to make a good impression by taking care of my stepson. during his illness."

"Why do you care if he wants to die out of stubbornness?" Vanessa scowled.

"He can't die before marrying you, do you understand?" Maria stared at the stupid supermodel. "However, you underestimate Alessandro Valentino. He's called invincible for a reason and can't be killed by such minor illnesses." Maria spoke with extreme hatred for her 1/3

She had hoped he would perish, leaving everything to Enzo, but to her dismay, Alessandro only grew stronger with each passing day.

Mia was busy, so Emily picked up Gia and Maximo from their school and dropped them off at home. They had a nanny to look after them while Mia was at work. After ensuring they had their meal, Emily left for another meeting as Mia had instructed her to attend with a potential client.

Once Emily left and the nanny became occupied with some tasks, Maximo signaled to Gia, and they quietly slipped into Mia's home office. Closing the door behind them silently, they switched on the lights.

"Gia, you start the system," Maximo instructed, launching an app on his phone that he had developed and connecting it to the computer with a USB cable.

"Let's do some research," Gia cheered.

Maximo's fingers worked like magic as he ran the application from his phone, causing internet files to swiftly open on the computer screen. He opened a file named Alessandro Valentino, which contained detailed information about him. "That's him! That's him!" Gia squealed, looking at the photo and Maximo hushed her to lower her voice.

"He looks so similar to you, Maximo," Gia wondered, her eyes darting between the photo of Alessandro and her twin brother in awe. "Could he be our dad?"

Maximo shook his head. "I don't know. But he is Mr. Valentino, Mom's client. I hacked into Mom's system and found his name among recent clients," he said, typing something on the computer system.

"I've hacked his social media account, and it showed he was once married, but I couldn't replace even a single photo of his wife, Maximo muttered in frustration. "But I did replace that this man was linked to numerous women and seems to be a womanizer." "But he is very handsome. If I were Mommy's age, I would have married this handsome man," Gia blushed, causing Maximo to roll his cyes.

"He's okay, but he's not a suitable match for Mom's future husband," Maximo mused, looking intently at the photo of the rich business tycoon "Why?" Gia's eyebrow shot up in question.

"Can't you see?" Maximo opened numerous photos of Alessandro with many supermodels.

Gia sighed, looking at the handsome man.

"Why do you have to be such a casanova, Mr. Valentino?" she murmured.

"There's something more about him," Maximo delved deeper into Alessandro on the internet and found something. "He is rumored to be the Italian Don, but the police have found no proof against him, and he comes out clean every time," he thought deeply. "That shows he's as clever as us," Gia grinned.

"Come on, Gia. Don't be so happy. Remember what Mom told us?! Our father never wanted us. So it doesn't matter if he is our father or not. Either way, he is out of the picture," Maximo. said, closing all the windows and disconnecting his phone from his mom's system. "Now let's leave before Mom catches us hacking sites for information again. She'll be very upset," Maximo suggested, taking Gia's hand and leading her out of their mom's home office.

But Gia's heart was not ready to believe that the handsome man was a bad guy. She had met him only once, but he seemed nice and gentlemanly, so handsome, just like she had always. imagined her father would be.
