Chapter Six

“I can read whole sentences now. Do you want me to show you?” Alessandria beamed as she sat in the midst of Antonio’s papers.

“Please don’t touch those, little girl.”

“New guy!” Antonio said sternly—he really needed to learn his name. “She can touch whatever she wants. Just print new ones. Read for me sweetheart, I want to see what Rayne has been teaching you all this while.”

“His name is Martin, Daddy.” Alessandria giggled.

I have got to remember that. Antonio pulled her off the table and into his arms as Martin put the papers back in order. He felt calmer having her here with him. If he hadn’t been so pig headed those past years he would have been taking her to the office all this while and his blood pressure wouldn’t be so high.

It had been almost two months since Rayne drilled the truth into his heart. He was hurting himself and Alessandria by staying away from her, but that night—her birthday—he had given her pictures of Maria to keep, and told her about their love story. He had made sure to point out that it wasn’t her fault that her mother died. It had taken a while, but Alessandria learned to trust him and soon they were spending time together without Rayne there as her source of security.

“Excuse me, sir, but those documents have very sensitive information.” Martin tried to take the paper Alessandria was reading away, but the warning in Antonio’s eyes stopped him.

“She’s four years old, a little too young to be committing espionage,” Antonio said.

“Espy—what was that word?”

“Espionage, sweetheart. Time for lunch.” Rayne walked into the office.

Antonio wished that he could be close to her too, but Rayne had made herself clear, and since then he hadn’t made any advances toward her. He loved her though, he was sure of that. There was no one and nothing that could replace Maria in his heart, but there was a small void left and only Rayne’s love could fill it. He knew she was in love with him, but it was obvious that she was scared. He couldn’t blame her. Antonio stood up with Alessandria still in his arms as she stumbled over words on the paper she was reading. He kissed the back of her neck and was surprised how warm she felt.

“She feels a bit warm to me.” Antonio handed her over to Rayne.

“Really?” Rayne felt her forehead and a worried frown claimed her lips. “Honey, have you been playing in the sun today?”

“No, what’s this word?” Alessandra asked.

Rayne glanced at it. “Liquidation.”

“She spent the whole day here with me.” Antonio was still concerned, but nothing on Alessandria’s appearance gave him the indication that she was sick.

“I’m sure it’s nothing. I’ll watch her more closely today.” She began to walk away but paused, “I’m glad to see that you are spending a lot more time with her. Do you want your papers back?”

“No,” Antonio said.

“Actually yes, it’s an important piece.” Martin turned his back on Antonio’s glare.
