 Mr. Ashford was busy with his company when he receive a call he was waiting for days now

[sir we've finally track her down she was one of the caretakers at **** orphanage] the man said on the other line

"did you find her name?" he ask

[sorry sir no one knows her real name so they all call her Ms. Nameless]

"where is she right now?" ask Mr. Ashford

[she's at the orphanage sir] the man replied

"thank you" Mr. Ashford said and ended the call

'**** orphanage, is it just a mere coincidence or your hiding something from me, Layla?' Mr. Ashford thought as he stood up grabbing his coat and went out of his office

"cancel all my appointments this afternoon reschedule everything including my appointments for the next three days" he instructed his secretary before he left the building

He drive to the orphanage and parked his car near the entrance as he sat there watching the entrance his grip on the steering wheel tightens

On the orphanage the lady was still lying on her bed despite the sun shining highly on the sky as the memory of everything Layla told her the day before keeps bugging her not letting her get a single blink of sleep

"tell me everything, I wanna know everything?" she said begging while Layla look at her full of sadness and hesitation

"will you be able to take everything?" Layla ask her again

"tell me" she answered determined

"where should I start?" Layla ask

"who am I?" she ask

"your real name was... Celeste... Celeste Luna Ashford" Layla said as she just continued to listen

"you have a family, your husband's name is Daemon Ashford and you have three children namely Danica Luna, Darcel Luan and Daeven Luan" hearing this she felt happy but at the same time sad then she remember that boy again who came with Sean in the orphanage

"Darcel... is that the boy that came with your son?" she ask

"yes" Layla answered

"your husband he..." Layla continued but once again hesitated if she should tell her everything at once

"what? Just tell me I don't want any more lies Layla I want to know everything" Celeste again said in a determined voice

"he was a mafia boss" Layla said in a low tone

"mafia boss?" ask Celeste
