>>>KA PUBLISHING COMPANY
After Lunch, Camila had gone to pick Lily up from school.
Sandro stared at the package in front of him and he opened It, It was an IPhone 13 Pro max, he brought out the phone and smiled rubbing the screen.
He had actually gotten It for Lily since she had complained about wanting a phone yesterday, he wondered how he was so drawn to the girl just yesterday.
He saved his contact and took two selfies with It before setting the phone back in the package.
Soon the door opened and he quickly pushed the package aside.
"Mr Grim Reaper!" Lily called rushing in while Camila shut the door beside her and went to her desk.
"Hey Kiddie!" Sandro called as Lily approached him and he held her shoulders.
"Did anyone bully you at school again?" He asked and she shook her head.
"No, If they do, I'll take them to Papa, or you" she said smiling and he nodded.
"Lily, I have a surprise for you, why don't you close your eyes." Sandro said and she nodded eagerly, closing her eyes.
Camila watched them from where she was sitting and found herself smiling, it hasn't been days Lily knew him but she liked him that much
Sandro brought out the phone pack and waved it before Lily while Camila's eyes widened.
"Mr Sandro!" She called and stood rushing to them.
"Now open your eyes" he said and Lily did as told, her eyes widened immediately.
"A phone?! Is this for me!" she yelled and he nodded smiling.
He opened the pack and handed the phone to her and her screams went higher.
"This is a latest Version!" She yelled and he scoffed.
"How do you know so much about phones and stuff?" He asked.
"My Auntie Franca loves shopping so I always tag along with her" she said.
"Lily give it back" Camila said taking the phone from her and she frowned while Sandro stared at her
"Mommy" she called.
"Thank you Mr Sandro, but she doesn't need this at this time" Camila said and Sandro stared at Lily whose eyes was getting watery already.
"Camila, I don't know what you have against me but it shouldn't affect the kid" Sandro said and she sighed.
"You can't just gift my child things without informing me"
"Mommy, I want it!" Lily whined, tears running down her cheeks and she sighed
"Lily, you can't take things from strangers"
"I am no stranger"
"He is no stranger" Sandro and Lily said together and Camila shut her eyes.
"Lily . . ."
"Do whatever you want with it then!" She snapped and went to the huge cushion and sat on it folding her arms on her chest.
"Gosh not again" Camila muttered and sighed staring at Sandro.
"What was that about? It is not wrong gifting her a phone, she is of age to get one" Sandro said and Camila dropped the phone
"It is my job to do that not yours" She said and turned to leave but he grasped her hand standing and she stared at his hold on hers and swallowed hard.
"Pour your anger on me, not her, did I do something wrong?" He asked and she shrugged out of his hold.
"You did nothing wrong" She gritted still thinking of him and Bella together.
Sandro sighed and nodded clicking his tongue.
"Then let her have that, please," Sandro begged staring at Lily who was sobbing quietly and Camila sighed picking the phone.
"Thanks" she muttered and he nodded, She walked to Lily and bent before her,
"Lily" she called wiping her tears and she dragged her face away.
"You asked me not to take it, so I won't" Lily pouted , still not staring at Camila
"Gosh you little thing, here, have it and go tell him thank you properly" Camila said handing the phone to her and Lily stared at the phone and turned her face away.
"I still don't want it " Lily said and Camila sighed, 'what a peacock?' she thought.
"Give it to me" Sandro said beside them and Camila looked up with Lily.
She stood and gave the phone to Sandro who sat beside Lily and rubbed her back.
"I was just like you when I was little" Sandro said and Lily cleaned her tears, interested in what he was telling her.
"Papa said that" she replied and Camila stared at her shocked.
"Papa?" She questioned
"She is talking about my Dad" Sandro said and Camila nodded
"So here, take it" Sandro said and Lily raised her head proudly.
She took the phone and started smiling but she tried so hard to hide it.
"Thank you Mr Grim reaper" She said and Camila breathed out in relief and went back to her post.
Sandro smiled and rubbed the kid's hair as an unknown weird feelings hit him.
"now that I gave you that, can you call me Uncle, that Grim reaper gives me the chills" Sandro said and she smiled.
"OK Uncle " she replied and he nodded.
"Should I tell you a secret?" Lily whispered conspiratorially and he nodded.
"My Phone model is twice higher than my Mommy's own, that is why she is jealous," Lily whispered stealing glances at Camila and Sandro chuckle staring at Camila who was frowning at them.
"Really? My model is more than yours and yours is more than your mommy's, that is funny" Sandro said
"What are you two talking about?!" Camila questioned and they looked away immediately giggling lowly.
"Yes, Hers is 11, mine is 13, yours is what?"
"I4" He said and she giggled again, clapping happily.
"I wish you were my Daddy" Lily suddenly said and Sandro's fingers froze slowly.
"Wish . . .?" he said, lost for words.
"I was just kidding," Lily said and he nodded with a smile that didn't really reach his eyes.
"My number is saved in there, and I have my photos there also" he said and she nodded opening the phone.
Lily smiled operating the phone and Sandro stood as he watched her happy with the phone.
"I'll go get busy now" he said and she nodded.
Sandro walked back to his desk and sat, he sighed and stared at Camila who was busy on her system and he looked away from her immediately.
He shut his eyes, 'what kind of unusual wants does he have for her this way.' he questioned internally.
>>>> ALEJANDRO'S MANSION
King sat on his rest chair under the shade at his favorite part of the garden. his guards stood few meters from him in black suits.
He missed his children, they are all busy now anyways, He sighed and took his glass of Juice from the table and drank from it slowly.
"Mr Alejandro" he heard Mike call as he walked towards him with a file.
King dropped the juice glass and stared at him.
"you are supposed to be at the company" King said squinting his eyes and Mike sighed.
"I found out something from what you asked me look into" he replied giving the file to him and he took it and opened it.
"What did you find?" King asked.
"The girl's name is Lily Brown, her mom is Camila Brown, her Dad is unknown, and Camila Brown never got married or got into any relationship, She is 26, that means she gave birth to Lily at age 18 almost 19" Mike said and King frowned staring into their profiles.
"So, how did Lily come to be?" King asked staring at Mike.
"I still haven't find out yet, but Mr Alejandro, I got the girl's hair you gave to me, including Sandro's own you gave to me, and this is the test results" Mike said handing a paper to him and he dropped the file getting hold of the paper.
King stared at it and his eyes almost popped out of it's socket immediately as his hands shook, he almost dropped the paper.
"99.9% Positive?" King questioned shakily and Mike nodded.
"Yes, that means Sandro is undoubtedly, the father of the girl, but how?, Camila Brown is presently Sandro's Personal Assistant, and from the look of things, they are strangers, Sandro doesn't even know that he has a daughter somewhere" Mike said and King dropped the paper holding the table tightly.
"Are you saying, that the Little girl is my grandchild? , no I mean, Sandro has a daughter who is 7, I mean a whole 7 year old with his PA without them knowing each other? What the heck are you saying!?" King snapped and Mike shut His eyes, he knew he should have done more digging before coming to his boss, but the news was too juicy to pass up, so he better find a good excuse and buy time.
"I'll find out what happened 8 years ago Mr King" Mike said and King breathed out furiously.
"then find out Immediately, find out the damn mystery, find out how this came to be!" he fumed.
