I stared at the elderly. Their words were so unexpected to me. Shock, anger, and some disappointment flowed through my veins.

I felt myself freeze from his gaze. “Adrian. This is Claudio’s granddaughter Valeria. Your future wife,” I heard Pietro say to him.

Next day…….. I woke feeling energized and ready for the day. First thing in the morning, I noticed that Adrian didn’t come home because his office was empty.
