Mia was informed by the kindergarten teacher that Gia and Maximo were missing from school. Her heart stopped at the news, and she rushed straight to the school, shouting and threatening the authorities to take legal action. How could her five-year-old twins go missing when they were not allowed to leave without someone picking them up?
Mia had clearly instructed the authorities and teachers that only she or Emily would come to the school to pick up Gia and Maximo. No one else should have access to her kids. The teacher and principal apologized profusely, offering to file a police report for the missing children. Mia took one of the teachers with her and headed to the police station, her mind filled with fear for her innocent kids.
What could have happened? Had someone kidnapped them? But she hadn't received any ransom calls. Her heart raced with terrifying possibilities. She called home, but the nanny informed her that Gia and Maximo hadn't returned. Mia immediately called Emily on the way
nd explained the situation. Emily suggested calling Adam and involving him, confident that his connections could expedite the search. But Mia hesitated; she didn't want to disturb Adam, knowing he was busy with his new movie shoot. Determined to leave no stone unturned in finding her children, Mia pressed hard on the accelerator and raced straight to the police station. If necessary, she would involve Adam afterward.
But before she reached the station, her phone rang, displaying Alessandro's number. She groaned in frustration. She didn't want to talk to him right now, in fact, she was very anxious to talk about anything, but a strange instinct compelled her to answer. "Mom!" Maximo's voice on the other end made Mia's heart skip a beat.
"Maximo!" Mia gasped, feeling a rush of relief flood over her. "Oh, thank God! Where are you? Are you alright?" Her words spilled out in desperation.
"Yes, Mom, I'm fine," Maximo replied hesitantly, sensing his mother's distress in her voice.
Any mother would be frantic upon learning her children were missing from school. Max bit his lip, bracing himself for his mother's inevitable fury over their reckless behavior.
"Is Gia also with you?" Mia asked anxiously.
"Yes, Mom, Gia is with me and she's fine too," Maximo replied.
Mia let out a breath of relief, closing her eyes momentarily and silently thanking God. But then realization struck her.
"Wait, why are you calling from Alessandro Valentino's phone?" Her eyes widened as her

Mia didn't need to hear more. "Don't worry, Maximo. I'm on my way sister. Mom is coming to save you," she said quickly, disconnecting the phone.
She pulled over, urged the teacher to get out of her car, and then took a taxi home. Once there, she immediately drove to Alessandro Valentino's office.
On the way, she called Emily to inform her about Maxi no's call. Emily wanted to come along, but Mia insisted she handle it alone.
Throughout the entire drive, her heart thumped so loudly with fear that she feared it might stop altogether.
Why were her children with the Italian Don?
Did he... Did he find out? She swallowed hard at the thought. She knew just how cruel the mafia king could be.
What could he be doing to her children? The thought brought tears to her eyes, but she pushed them back and focused on driving. She took a deep breath and was determined to save her children at any cost.
Mia parked her car in the parking lot of AV Enterprises and hurried towards the office. Alessandro's secretary met her near the elevator, clearly taken aback by Mia's panicked state.
"Hello, Miss Peterson. I'm Lisa, Mr. Valentino's secretary. He instructed me to take you directly to his office," Lisa informed politely.
"Where are my kids? How are they?" Mia asked urgently, her tone sharp with a mix of fear and anger.
"They are fine and with Mr. Valentino," Lisa replied, finding the question a bit unusual.
She had witnessed how well her boss treated the twins, one of whom bore a striking resemblance to him. For a moment, she had wondered if the boy was Alessandro Valentino's son. However, after overhearing their conversations, she realized her assumption was wrong. Lisa led Mia directly to the president's office. As soon as Mia saw the door, she pushed it opent and barged in, her manner frantic and accusatory. Her eyes widened, and her heart raced as she saw her kids with the Italian don.
"Stay away from my kids, or you'll regret it!" she shouted furiously at Alessandro, causing everyone in the room to turn their heads toward her in shock.
