Chapter 19

NINETEEN

"Please, she is my daughter, Lorenzo. I would rather die than let them take her." Sophia begged.

Lorenzo let out a slow breathe, the weight of the situation was just too much for him to bear. Finally, after what felt like forever, he nodded. 

"I will help you, but we need to be careful. If the wrong people find out about this, we won't just be saving Ava, we will really be fighting a war." he said.

Sophia released a very shaky breath, relief was all over her expression.

"Thank you," she whispered. 

"First thing first," Lorenzo's gaze was now darkened.

"Do you have any idea where she might have gone?" he asked.

Sophia hesitated, thinking back to Ava's last words before she ran away. 

"No, but she is smart, and she is strong. She will find somewhere safe." she admitted.
