CHAPTER. 5 DANTE'S P.O.V Elle said, "We're waiting for you, Mr. Dante." I cleared my throat. "Um, please, just call me Dante, alright." I took a deep breath and began to explain. "Elle, I need to tell you something. It's about the sperm you purchased from our hospital." "I'm afraid we made a terrible mistake," I confessed. "The sperm you purchased was not anonymous, as we claimed. It belonged to a specific individual, and we mistakenly sold it to you." Elle's eyes widened in shock, and she looked like she had been punched in the gut. "What do you mean?" she asked, her voice shaking. "I paid for an anonymous donor." I nodded sympathetically. "I know, and I'm deeply sorry. We've been trying to find you to explain the situation and make things right." Elle's expression changed from calm to shocked. "WHAT!! What do you mean it was a mistake? No! No! No! It can't be. I bought it with my own money." I tried to calm her down. "Calm down, Miss Elle." But Elle was having none of it. "No! You can't tell me to calm down. You made the mistake, not me." Jessica, Elle's friend, intervened. "Calm down, Elle. Let's hear him out first." Jessica introduced herself. "Um, Dante, right? Yeah, I'm Jessica, Elle's friend. Okay, please explain it well to us." I nodded. "So, my friend's sperm was mistakenly sold to your friend." Jessica's eyes widened. "So, my friend wants to meet Elle to solve the problem. He wants to be in the child's life." Elle's voice was firm. "No way, Dante. No way." I tried to reason with her. "Elle, please. We've been searching for you for a long time now." Jessica suggested, "Elle, I think we should meet his friend." Elle hesitated before asking, "Okay, when can we meet your friend?" I replied, "I can take you to meet him now. Are you okay with that?" Elle nodded, and we headed out. I drove them to Lucas's company, L&D. As we arrived, Elle asked, "What are we doing at L&D company?" I apologized. "Oh, sorry. We're meeting my friend here." We walked inside and took the elevator to the top floor. I asked the receptionist, "Is your boss in?" She replied, "No, sir. He's at a meeting right now." I called Lucas to let him know we were on our way. "I'll be coming," I said. Dante replied, "Oh, yes, sir." She hung up and turned to Elle and Jessica. "Please, follow me." We walked to Lucas's office, and I opened the door. "Please, you all can sit down."Lucas said. Lucas stood up, smiling. "What can I offer you?" I declined. "It's okay, I said." Lucas nodded and gestured for me to sit down. Elle and Jessica took seats, and I stood by the door, waiting for Lucas to begin. LUCAS'S P.O.V Dante was supposed to stop by my office today. I was exhausted from holding three meetings and desperately needed some rest. As I walked out of the conference room, I loosened my tie and rolled up my sleeves. I headed to the front desk and asked Anna, "Did anyone come looking for me?" Anna replied, "Yes, boss. Your friend, Mr. Dante, is in your office." I turned the doorknob and entered. "Sorry, man. I'm a little late." But I was shocked to see two women with Dante. One of them looked calm, while the other, the beautiful one, looked furious. Dante stood up. "It's okay, Lucas." I sat down, looking at the two women. "Dante, I hope everything is okay here." Dante introduced them. "Lucas, this is Jessica and Elle Dickson." My eyes widened as I looked at Elle. "Elle Dickson." Dante added, "Yeah, the Mask Lady." Elle's eyes narrowed. "I know you somewhere." I nodded. "Yeah, we met at the club yesterday." Elle's expression turned icy. "So you were that guy." I confirmed, "Yes, I was." Dante explained, "Lucas here is the friend I'm talking about." Elle's face turned red with anger. "Are you kidding me?" Dante continued, "Lucas is the owner of the sperm... I mean, your child's father." Elle's voice was laced with venom. "Unbelievable." I stood up, extending my hand. "I'm Lucas Dimitri." Jessica shook my hand. "I'm Jessica." Elle refused to shake my hand. "I'm Elle." I tried to reason with her. "I hope my friend here has told you everything already. I just want to be in the child's life." Elle's voice was cold. "They are my children, not yours." I felt a surge of confusion. "What do you mean, 'children'?" Dante and I asked in unison, but Elle refused to answer. I stood up, my patience wearing thin. "Miss Elle, please. We are all here because of the child. I just want to be in their life." Elle's expression turned defiant. "No, you are not their father." I slammed my fist on the desk. "What do you mean, 'their'? Tell me now!" Elle took a step back, her voice trembling. "They... are twins." The room fell silent. Dante's eyes widened in shock, and I felt like I'd been punched in the gut. "TWINS?" Dante exclaimed. I stumbled backward, falling into my chair. "Twins...?" Jessica's voice was calm. "Yes, they are twins. Two lovely girls." I was speechless, trying to process the news. I was a father of twins? Dante looked stunned. "You're the man, Lucas. Twins straight. Can't believe it. You're now a father of twins!" Jessica added, "They look a lot like you, Mr. Lucas. They took only the color of their mother's hair. They are a photocopy of you. They are so beautiful. You'll see when you meet them."
