CHAPTER 6: THE DOWNFALL OF VALERIA
Fresh tears streamed down Sofia’s face harder now. Because for the first time— Someone finally saw her pain. Valeria screamed as security gently escorted her away through the kitchen. But nobody looked at her anymore.
Because the real heartbreak remained standing in the center of the industrial kitchen. Mateo slowly walked toward Sofia again. Then unexpectedly— The billionaire CEO dropped to his knees in front of her.
The kitchen staff gasped. Because men like Mateo Castillo never knelt. Ever. But his voice broke completely anyway.
“I missed eight years of my daughter’s life…”
Fresh tears rolled down his face.
“And you carried all of it alone.”
Sofia covered her mouth crying silently. Mateo carefully took her trembling hands.
“If you let me…”
His voice shook.
