LOTUS'S POV

My playing session with my son is cut short by a notification of a text. I'm surprised because only my parents have my new number.

Unknown:you must report for work tomorrow morning at Ricci winery at 7:30AM sharp,I will not forgive any tardiness.

Who could this be? How the hell did Luciano get my number? Anyway I save his number as rude sexy Italian, I sit on my bed and imagine working in the same place as Luciano. I'm sure they will choke each other. Speaking of choking,I wonder if Luciano is into such,I shake my head in an attempt to get rid of the unholy thought.

I make my way to the walk-in closet where my son is arranging my shoes.

Since I'm starting to work. I might as well prepare what I'll wear.I want to make a good first impression for my coworkers.I don't know how I'll handle it, it's been so long since I've worked.

" Just tell Luciano I've apologized,he wanted to beat the shit out of me because of it",I laugh and we reach Liam's new school.

I speak with his teacher and they say I can pick him up later that day. I tell Enzo to make a detour to 

Luciano's POV

I can't believe this so the prodigal daughter returns. I better go see this for myself,I remember when Troy and his wife wouldn't want to talk about her. I can't believe a woman could be this cruel all because of love she took away everything her parents entrusted her with and handed it over to her husband,who has now left her.

She doesn't value her parents. I'd give anything to have my parents with me even if I'd have to spend only a few minutes with them.

Troy knew my dad back in high school and they kept in touch till my parents died,I was only five. That is why I knew he was the only one that could help me when I was in a financial crisis,I couldn't just sell this land to anyone,it was my grandmother's pride.
