Five years since Y/n disappeared without a trace. Five years since Dante Vescari lost the woman he would have abandoned his entire world for.

Now, he was Don Vescari. Ruthless. Powerful. Feared.

And completely unaware that somewhere in the world, he had a four-year-old daughter.

Across the airport terminal, Y/n clutched her daughter’s hand, nervously scanning the crowds. The anonymous message still haunted her.

“They know about your daughter. You’re no longer safe.”

Two suitcases. Two plane tickets. One little girl who believed they were going on an adventure. Sofia, however, was far more interested in the stuffed rabbit tucked beneath her arm than her mother’s growing anxiety.

Until she accidentally collided with a tall man in an expensive black suit.

Enzo Bellini

Hey! Watch where you’re going, kid.

Sofia stumbled backwards, her little eyebrows immediately knitting together.

Sofia

YOU watch where you’re going! You’re very big. You should’ve seen me!

Enzo blinked, momentarily speechless.

Dante Vescari

A low chuckle came from behind him.

She’s got you there, Enzo.

Dante Vescari looked down at the tiny girl glaring defiantly at his head of security. Something about her expression amused him.

Dante Vescari

And what’s your name, piccolina?

Sofia

Sofia. And you’re supposed to say sorry when you bump into people.

Dante Vescari

My apologies, Sofia.

Sofia

That’s okay. But you should be more careful.

Dante Vescari

His lips twitched. For the first time in years, he almost smiled.

Then a familiar voice called Sofia’s name from across the terminal.

Dante Vescari

He froze. He knew that voice. He’d heard it in his dreams. In his nightmares. In the memories he’d spent five years trying to bury.

Slowly, he turned.

And there she was. Y/n.

The woman who had disappeared five years ago. The woman he’d searched for until there was nowhere left to look.

Alive. Standing barely ten feet away.

Dante Vescari

His expression hardened.

…Y/n? His voice was dangerously quiet. Disbelief flickered across his face before five years of heartbreak twisted into anger.

You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.

His eyes swept over her face, searching for answers. Then he noticed the suitcases. The boarding passes. The unmistakable fear in her expression.

Dante Vescari

Five years. You disappear for five fucking years, and now you’re just standing here?

Sofia immediately hurried to her mother’s side, wrapping her little arms protectively around her leg.

Sofia

DON’T TALK TO MY MUMMY LIKE THAT!

Silence.

Dante Vescari

He stared down at the little girl and saw the same stubborn expression. The same fierce protectiveness.

Sofia

You’re being mean! My mummy’s a good mummy!

Dante opened his mouth, but for once, no words came.
