~ ITALY ~ SAND CASTLE ~

"Papa. I believe the Italians call their father that way. Nice to meet you"

Mariano was lost for words. Knowing the kind of job he has, Mariano have always been prepared for anything but he didn't really expect this sort of thing.

"You think you are my son?" Mariano asked.

"I don't think. I know that am your son, I heard mother talking about it" Lucas replied.

Mariano came down on his knees so he could be on the sand height with the kid.

"Tell me more about your mother" 

"She's Camila Carlos. She had been living here in the past but when she got pregnant, she went to California and also she mentioned someone that day...Err, Sabrina. Yes, she had called Sabrina though I don't know who she is" Lucas told him.

If it's the same Sabrina he knew then his mother will be Camila, Sabrina's close friend. 

A girl who have always looked at him with contempt and disapproval. If he had slept with her then he will surely remember.

"I forgot to tell you something else" Lucas voice broke into his thoughts.

"What is it?" 

"Mother has no idea that I am here, I kind of...ran away" 

"What!" 

*****

~ ITALY ~ AIRPORT 

As soon as she took her back pack which had a few of her necessities, Camila left the airport in a rush.

"To sand castle, please" she told the cab driver who immediately drove off.

Why would Lucas do such a thing...she will admit that it's her fault for giving him space to do whatever he want but she didn't expect him to go this far....she thought inwardly.

Unfolding the letter he had left her, she went through it's content again.

💌 " By the time you read this, I will be gone. Do not be alarm mom, I just went to Italy to see dad. I heard you talking with aunt Rose and I know that my father is someone called Mariano Castillo and that he lives in Florence. Am sorry if my leaving has hurt you but I...really want to see my dad" 💌

Camila crumple the letter hoping with all her heart that nothing has happen to him and that once she gets to sand castle, she will find him there.

Just the thought of Mariano aware of Lucas existence terrify her. 

Not only is he a devil, he is also a murderer. He had killed Sabrina after all.

"We are here " the driver said and after paying, she headed for sand castle.

*****

~ Sand Castle ~

Mariano stood against the wall watching Lucas play a game of chess with Cora who has been charmed by the little kid.

He will admit that there's a bit of resemblance there but then...Camila would never have had his child.

The incident which took place years ago have long been clarified. Sabrina had told him that she'd use the sperm on herself and he's sure that Camila would never have agree to having them inject his sperm in her or did she?

"Boss, the security guard just called saying there's a lady outside claiming to be the kid mom" one of his men said.

"Tell them to let her in" Mariano said and a while later, Camila was ushered into sand castle.

It felt weird being in this place again. If it were up to her, she would never have set foot in sand castle since she knew the illegal things they did but back then, Sabrina had always insist she come along whenever a party was being thrown.

"In here " the man escorting her said and she walk into what seem like a sitting room.

She could hear Lucas voice and she felt relieve.

"Lucas" she called as soon as she saw him.

"Mommy!" He called and ran to give her a hug in return.

"Do you know how scared I was" Camila ask as she held him tight.

"Am sorry mommy but if I had told you, you won't let me see daddy" 

"Daddy?" Camila asked a bit confuse.

Mariano chose that moment to show up.

"Yes, Daddy to be precise" Mariano answered her and on seeing him, Camila held Lucas protectively to her and Mariano couldn't help but to notice.

"Tell us why your son thinks me to be his father?" Mariano asked, waiting for an explanation.

"He is my daddy, right? I heard you talking to aunt Rose about him" Lucas said, staring up at her.

Camila pulled her gaze away from Mariano and force a smile on her face before crouching in front of her son.

"I don't know what you've heard but this man is not your father. I met your father back in the US" Camila said, hating the fact that she has to lie but its the best for everyone, most especially for Lucas.

"But you said..."

"Forget what you heard, okay" Camila cut him off and he nodded.

He move away from her and went to Mariano.

"It's all a misunderstanding sir, am sorry for the bother" Lucas said politely and Mariano couldn't help but to smile.

A frown replace the smile and he motion to Cora.

"Take him out for a stroll, I need to talk to his mom, alone" Mariano added and when Camila tried to protest.

Mariano took hold of her hand and pulled her into a room which could called a study.

"You are hurting me!" Camila said as she pulled her hand out of his.

"Care to explain what is going on?"

"There's nothing going on. I do admit that it's my fault for not watching over Lucas but you don't need to be bothered by it and you can be rest assured that he is not your son" She said crisply and notice the relief in his eyes.

"Are you sure cause I can't help but to think back to ten years ago"

"Ten years ago, you were dating my friend and ..." 

"Dating? " Mariano asked in disbelief.

"I definitely wasn't dating Sabrina. What Sabrina and I had was just...a Passionate rendezvous. She knew the score just like I did and besides I don't do dating" he said callously.

"Wow....I knew you were a jerk but never till this extent. If you knew you didn't love her then why on earth did you get involve with her? Love blinded her and made her choose the worthless of all men " As soon as Camila said that, she knew she'd said the wrong thing cause Mariano was no longer in a good mood.

His face has darken and he looked like the devil himself.

"I...I didn't...mean that" she said, moving backwards while he kept cornering her till she hit her back against the wall.

"When I met you ten years ago. I knew you didn't like me and believe me when I say that I didn't like you too. I tolerated your contemptful gaze because of Sabrina but now, Sabrina is gone and I won't hesitate to put you in your place" his voice came out rough and menacing, making Camila shiver in fear.

"Am sorry...I never meant to say that, neither did I mean to show myself in front of you again. Have book a flight back to California tonight, I promise to leave and never come back" she said, her eyes closed.

Minutes went by and she heard nothing from Mariano, she knew he was standing in front of her then why isn't he saying anything.

Opening her eyes, she saw him starring at her. A look she couldn't decipher was there on his face but then he masked it quickly and move away from her.

Clearing his throat, he said.

"You are going no where" 

"What?" 

"Stay here for the night and you can leave tomorrow" 

"But I... "

"It's late, think about Lucas. He's just ten" Mariano said as someone knock on the door.

"Boss, Lady Bianca said that should she begin the party preparation?" One of his men asked.

"Yes. As always, we will be having a party tonight but first, take this lady to madam Brooks, she will know what to do" Mariano said and left the study.

 ~ SAND CASTLE PARTY ROOM ~

The room was filled with sand castle employee as they all danced and enjoyed the night.

It was a tradition of Mariano to always throw a party after conquering an enemy.

Amongst the people in the room stood two handsome twins.

They were well built and were handsome too but most of all they were identical.

"Tch! Why are staying by my side when I know you want to be with those girls over there?" Alexis, the more calm and level headed amongst the twin asked.

"Nah! Have had enough of those girls already. Have got someone else in mind" Paolo, the more crazy one replied.

"Now who is this poor girl you plan on f**king and dumping?" Alexis asked slowly.

"Madam Brooks daughter" Paolo replied.

"The girl who just came back from California a week ago?" 

"The one and only. Her name is Cora and she's....quite stunning. I have a feeling that I will enjoy whatever f**k we both have" 

"That is if she falls for you" Alexis said.

"She definitely will, I will make sure of that" Paolo said and raise his glass at Bianca who just arrive.

On the dance floor was a plain girl in glasses, who kept stepping on the foot of her partner each time she dance.

"My God! Can't you do without stepping on me!" Matteo spat out in anger.

"Am sorry. I told you already that I can't dance but you insisted and..."

"So now, I can't ask my girlfriend to dance with me again? You prefer I dance with someone else?" Matteo asked and Luna quickly shake her head.

"You know what, I think it's best I dance with someone else. Seeing you alone makes me mad" Matteo said and right in front of her, he went to dance with someone else.

Luna went back to the counter only for someone to pass her a glass of whiskey.

"Had a fight again?" Enzo asked as Luna push up her glass.

"It's my fault. I kept on stepping on him" 

"He knew about it and still insist on you dancing, it's definitely not your fault" 

"It is, Enzo. I lack everything a woman has but yet, Matteo chose me to be his girlfriend and that's something am grateful for" 

"Grateful? Is it gratitude you feel towards him?" Enzo asked.

"Not just gratitude. I love him and he loves me too, he will never do a thing to hurt me" Luna said with certainty while Enzo felt sad.

"Hey bitch" Lenora called as she went towards Bianca.

"Have told you severally to stop calling me that!" Bianca half yelled.

"Okay! Am sorry. Seems like you are in a bad mood. Is it really true that the kid who came here today is Mariano's son?" Lenora asked.

"Of course not! The stupid boy just lost his way. Mariano isn't the type to have a child, if he were, I would have been pregnant by now" 

"Wow...you are willing to have Mariano's child , you must be hopelessly in love with him" 

"It's not a crime to be in love and as for having his child, I plan to work on it tonight. Can you help me " Bianca asked just as Lenora got a message.

💌 " The duck is acting out again. Bring your @ss to the back room, I need a little f**k " 💌

On reading that, a smile appeared on Lenora's face and quickly she excuse herself, heading to the back room.

~ SNEAK PEEK TO THE FUTURE ~

The car drove out of Sand Castle and Camila could finally breathe in peace.

She pulled a sleeping Liam close to her and was starring out of the wind screen when their car suddenly break to a halt.

"What's wrong?" Camila ask.

"Someone over took us " the driver replied.

At that moment, the door open and Mariano got out of the car with two men in toll.

The two men open the door and took Lucas from her.

"What are you doing! Why are you taking my son?" Camila yelled as she came out of the car.

"It would have been better if I didn't know of his existence and now that I know, there's no way In hell I will let my son go" Mariano replied and she gasp out in shock.

"Lucas is my son! You can't separate him from me" Camila yelled at him.

"And who said anything about separating you from him" she gave him a puzzle look.

"You won't be separated from him since you are coming along. You need to pay for hiding my son from me for ten years" he said and carried her over his arms,heading to his car...
