The next few days were not getting any better. News of my mother's arrest were publicized by the media. Our company is in shambles and reporters flocked our home. I had to entrust the position of my mother to the COO so the company can still function but sales were beginning to decline. I was also shocked by the news that the Bernardini had disowned Domenico. They didn't want a scandal to affect their company as stated by their speaker. I tried contacting Enzo but he wouldn't answer. I apparently got the message that he wouldn't help us. Each day I visited my mother was like a treasure. I get to know her better in the short amount of time given to us. It would always break my heart everytime I would leave. As for Domenico, he still wouldn't talk to me. Its as if he has turned me into
