1057 Words
Three years ago!
The mafia queen, Elena Valenti, lay on the grand velvet hospital bed, sweat-soaked and screaming in pain. Her husband, the feared mafia king, Lucien Valenti, stood in the hallway, hands clenched, sons behind him with wide, hopeful eyes. Even the unshakable mafia guards murmured quiet prayers for the queen who is in labor.
But when the doors opened, the doctor stepped out with red-stained gloves and a bowed head.
"I'm sorry," he whispered. " It.....it was a boy, Stillborn".
A gasp swept through the family. Lucien shattered, broke down on his knees. Inside the queen, has already fallen unconscious from blood loss.
"A boy?" whispered the eldest son, Cassian. "But.....we thought...."
The doctor simply nodded, avoiding their eyes.
What no one knew was that it was not a boy at all.
The child born that night was a girl - delicate, breathing, alive.
But she was stolen minutes after her first cry. Taken by a rival mafia who bribed the doctor.... and replaced her with a lifeless baby boy.
The Valenti family mourned a son that never existed - while their only daughter was dumped at the doorstep of an orphanage... nameless, forgotten.
Three years later......
