Georgio POV

The day had started off like any normal one, with me in my office head down in my work.

I didn't come out of my office much, some would say that I didn't come out at all in these last 15 years. The only time I did come out was when I had to travel for a business meeting, but most of the meetings were held in my office, I preferred it that way.

As I completed a form, my eldest son came barging through the door. I looked up to see him out of breath and panting. It looked like he'd ran a marathon. His green eyes full of happiness sparkled and his lips were turned up in a huge genuine smile.

This sight alone shocked me. I had never seen my son so happy. Not since Alexandra was taken.

This had to be important.

"What's got you so happy?" His smile only grew, if that was even possible. "I've found her dad, I've found her, she's coming home, we can bring her home!"

I sat there stunned. His words sinking in. The day we had all been waiting for was finally here. We had found our baby. She was coming home.

I grabbed my son and we both made our way downstairs to tell the others to get ready.

Our baby was coming home.

Time skip

We all piled in to the car. Everyone sat in comfortable silence. We had been driving for around two and a half hours now and we were nearly there.

Apparently, Alexandra was currently at school and by the time we would get there, we would be just in time for the start of her first lesson.

I was nervous. I mean I haven't seen her in 15 years. A lot can change during that time. I don't know how she's been or what has happened in her life or even who her friends are. Will she still be the same over excited 2 year old I know?

Will she even know who I am? Will she blame us for her being taken?

This killed me the most. I wanted my baby to know that we have been fighting to find her and that we didn't let her go. I wanted her to know the truth.

I was pulled out of my thoughts by the twins telling me to get out of the car. They were extremely excited to meet their baby sister as they were only 3 when she was taken.

Although they were so young, they still remember her and missed her just as much as the older kids. I remember the day like it was yesterday.

Flashback

I had just come back from a business meeting with some colleagues. The downstairs of the house was eerily quite. 'That's odd, the boys are never quiet'

I heard screams erupting from the second floor. I ran upstairs in record time. My children were upstairs I had to save them.

I reached for my gun as I neared the sound of the screams. They were unmistakably the screams of my boys.

I burst through Alexandra's room door. The scene in front of me pained my heart. My eldest Alfonso who was 9 at the time and my second oldest Matteo who was 7 were in tears tearing the room apart whilst repeating the phrase "Where are you, come back, please."

Whilst this was happening, my other two sons Damien and Elias the twins, were screaming and crying on the floor in a pool full of tears. I realised someone was missing.

Alexandra.

My eyes glossing over due to the scene in front of me, I ran to my kids and hugged them. I had to make sure they were alright.

My kids meant the world to me.

When they finally calmed down, Alfonso explained to me what had happened.

Flashback in a flashback

The boys had been playing with Alexandra downstairs when their mother came down and told them it was time for Alexandra to go to sleep. They did find it a bit odd as it was only 5:30 but seen as 'mother knows best' they ignored the odd feeling and went back to playing.

At 6:45 Alfonso went upstairs to see if Alexandra was asleep. Unlike the rest of his brothers, he could not just ignore his gut feeling. What he saw next broke him.

His little sister was not sleeping soundly in her bed like they thought. In fact his sister was nowhere to be seen. He frantically looked for her checking the whole room. He opened her closet to see a few of her clothes were missing. Alexandra was not the type of person to run away, she was only two, and he didn't think a two year old could reach and carry all those clothes. He checked for any signs of a break in getting more and more desperate as every second passed.

When he found none, he ran to his mother's room. He was in tears at this point he had to tell her what had happened. He barged in through the door only to see her mother wasn't there. He checked her closet yo see that all of her clothes were gone.

He sank to the floor sobbing hard and loudly. His mother and sister were both gone. He continued crying until he saw something that caught his attention in the corner of his eye. He wiped his eyes and made his way towards the mysterious object.

How had he not seen it before. There was a letter written in a neat form sat on the bedside table. The writing looked familiar and he could definitely tell that it was his mothers. H3 began reading the words.

Dear Giorgio,

By the time you read this I will be long gone. The fact of the matter is that I have fallen out of love with you. All your time is spent at work and with the kids. When I married you I thought you would at least pay more attention to me but you love your kids and your dear Alexandra so much. It's always Alexandra this Alexandra that. Well I've decided to take Alexandra with me, when I say with me, I'm not going to keep her. I'm sure one of my friends would love to take her somewhere where you would never find her. Take this as revenge. I also want to say that I've been having am affair. I don't regret a thing. Goodbye Gio, I hope I never see you or the kids again.

Louisa

End of flashbacks

My hands balled up into a fist as the memories of that night flashed through my head.

Not only had my wife taken my only daughter away from me, she had also been cheating.

I pushed all my thoughts to the back of my mind and followed my sons to the principles office to get ready to meet Alexandra.
