Chapter 3 He wouldn't lie to me right

Allegra's pov

I stood fixed. My eyes couldn't have deceived me. Did he follow me here?

"Dad, this is Allegra my bestie I always talked about" Fiorella introduced.

"Did she just say dad?" I moved back a bit my body trembling. I remembered the promise I made to Fiorella...

"I believe your parents will sort out their issues" I consoled Fiorella.

"No, dad has another woman" Fiorella screamed. I closed the door not to attract attention.

"You can't say that. Your parents will get back together. I will make sure of that" I said firmly.

"That woman is preventing dad from working things out with mom, I'll kill her when I see her" Fiorella screamed throwing and smashing her phone.

I held her tightly and hugged her trembling body. She's been sad for a very long time and I understand she's trying to have a happy family.

"I'll take care of this third woman and bring your parents back together" I promised her.

I let out a laugh of mockery, so I was the other woman all along. I was the obstacle ruining fiorella's parents.

I looked at Santino, his eyes filled with love when he saw his daughter's happy face.

Foolish me!

I was learning how to be a step mom. But I can't anymore. I loved him.

I could feel santino's eyes savouring my body silently.

Ginerra's pov

I saw the shock in Allegra's eyes and smirked.

USA, New York City

"So you mean Santino moved on this time?" I trembled. I thought he loved me and would not move on.

He would always fly to New York city every week and I knew it was to spy on me because he missed me but suddenly he stopped.

So he moved on and he's moving with another chick?

"Send all her informations to me now, I need to know that girl" I bit my nails angrily.

My body shook violently.

Beep

I clicked on the message immediately to check about this girl.

Lo!

Santino moved on with a twenty years old girl? He dumped me for a college girl? The anger in me suddenly started boiling at 102 degree.

But something caught my attention. The girl attend same school as my daughter and she has a best friend...Fiorella?

"Did Fiorella linked her bestie up with her father?" I felt like strangling her. How dare you?

I dialed fiorella's number. I swallowed my anger when she picked my call.

"Hello mommy" I could feel the happiness in her voice. I almost cried, I wanted to hug her so bad and tell her that her mom was not an angel like she thought.

"Mom's birthday is coming soon" I said suddenly. I was too sad to speak. I hurt my girl. And I'm in pain.

"I told dad to hold a party at the mansion for you this year again, I hope you won't miss it" she requested.

She never skipped hosting a birthday party for me at the mansion each year but I never attended. I knew how sad she was all the time I missed the party.

I wiped the tears welling up in my eyes. This year I'm making a difference not because of my daughter but to deal with that little girl holding Santino.

"I'll come this year Fiorella" I muttered gently. My heart beating fast. I heard her screamed in joy but I knew I wasn't coming for her.

"Come with your bestie too" I said. At least I have to keep her at arm length to be able to deal with her.

"Really? I'll tell her right away. Believe me mom, she's the nicest girl you'll meet on this earth" Fiorella complimented her friend.

I let out a mocking laugh after I hung up, nicest girl indeed, that's why Santino is not ready to leave her.

"Let's have dinner, I believe you're hungry" I called everyone's attention. I walked towards Santino and hugged him tightly.

I could feel daggars behind me and I knew who they were coming from.

"Your little girl will be jealous" I whispered and I could feel his body tense. I like this drama today.

"At least she's not leaving me like you" he mocked. I clenched my fist tightly. Santino had never supported any woman except me.

"I wonder how Fiorella would react when she finds out" I pulled away from him and faced the guests.

"I feel so honoured, thanks so much everyone" I bowed.

"Mom, Allegra and I wants to sing you a birthday song" Fiorella giggled happily.

I let out a sigh of bitterness. I couldn't be the best mom for my little princess.

"I'm tired Fiorella, I want to use the bathroom" Allegra stood up.

"Are you angry about something? I've I done anything wrong?" My voice trembled.

"What happened Allegra" Fiorella looked worried.

"Nothing. I'm fine. I just want to use the bathroom" she muttered quietly. Fiorella pointed at a direction to her. She walked gawkerly towards the direction.

"I have some things to sort out" Santino walked out of the garden.

"I told you, your dad hates me" I muttered to Fiorella. I could see tears welled up in her eyes.

Allegra's pov

I entered the bathroom and sat on the sink. I let out the tears.

I could see the distance in his eyes, he acted like he has never seen me before. Like he didn't tell me I was the only one.

He hugged another woman without caring about me. I pinched myself, I have to leave him.

I think this will make it easier for me to leave him. I've been holding back but this is the best opportunity.

"Why are you crying" I questioned myself. I went to the sink and washed my face.

The door knob turned but I ignored it, "Don't tell me you cried?" His deep voice startled me.

"Why are you here?" I raised a brow. He moved closer to me.

"I'm sorry" he apologized. He rested his back on the wall, folding his hands and looking at me quietly.

"Don't talk to me" I tried to wipe my tears. "I'm keeping her close for fiorella's sake" he explained.

I felt good somehow but it was suppose to be a bad feeling. Fiorella wants them together but her dad isn't helping, so I wasn't the problem after all.

I was accused, Fiorella thought her dad was pushing her mom away because of the other woman which is me...

"Fiorella won't like this" I managed to say. Preventing myself from smiling.

"Ginerra is not who you think she is" Santino muttered and moved close to me.

I moved back a bit gulping hard. "She never loved Fiorella" Santino revealed.

"Hmmm" I almost choked

Ginerra never loved Fiorella?

But ... I looked at Santino...he wouldn't lie to me right?
