I really messed up.

I knock on Noah and Angela's door.

"Riccardo." Noah said. "What's wrong with you? Your hair is messy and you look like you didn't slept for days."

"I didn't." I replied.

"Where is Aurora?" I ask.

"Upstairs..." Noah whispered.

I enter and I see Angela with Aurora.

"We need to talk." I said and Angela left immediately.

I sit down.

"I'm listening." She said not daring to face me.

"Years ago , I was married to a woman. Her name was Jade Smith. I was married to her two years. And I got her pregnant. I loved her so much and she loved me-..

-When Scarlett was four years almost five , Jade and her wanted to drive to Greece , to see me. But they had an accident. And they-.. they died.." I whisper.

"I had mental breakdown when I heard the news.."

Aurora turns around. "That's why you kept everything secret?" She asked.

"Yes.. I didn't want you to found out."

"Why not?"

Because you would left me.

"Because I was afraid of loosing you. Just for these things."

She nods.

"Aurora.. I still love you.. please.. forgive me.." I said , putting my hand over hers.

"I can forgive you , Riccardo. But I can't forgive what you did."

"I understand. Are you coming home?" I ask.

She nods and hugs me.

I hug her back and I kiss her.

"I love you." I whisper.

"I love you too." She said.

She cried a lot. Her eyes are puffy and red.

*FIVE MONTHS LATER*

Tonight we're going to a party.

A mafia party. I can't leave her alone so I had to take her too.

"What about Scarlett?" Aurora asked.

I don't know why she would ask after 5 months about her.

"Scarlett?- she hummed- Scarlett was my child. She died in the same day with her mother. She could've been around eight years old right now." I whisper , adjusting my shirt.

"I'm sorry." She whispered.

"It's okay. It was all in the past now." I said.

"Do you really love me or?.." she asked. "I do. I really do." I whisper , kissing her.

"Can you zip up my dress please?" She replied.

"Sure." I said , zipping up her white mermaid dress.

"Thank you." She mumbled.

"Let's go. We need to be there in fifteen minutes."

"Okay." She said.
