Re: My granddaughter, Arielle Garnier

My granddaughter, Arielle, has moved to Dallas, Texas, and successfully taken over Premier Academy for Pre-schoolers. But during my recent investigation to find her and her brothers, it was brought to my attention that she’s pregnant and has been unable to locate the baby’s father. I’ve been advised by the lead investigator that he’s Zach Forsythe, whose nephew attends Premier Academy. I have every reason to believe they will come face to face in the very near future. That said, I expect you to arrange whatever you deem necessary to accomplish my goal of bringing them together. Keep me informed of the progress.

As always, I am relying on your complete discretion in this matter.

Valente’s Baby by Maxine Sullivan

“Maybe you could have handled this differently, figlio mio”

“You were the one who told me to marry her, Dad.”

“Megan needed the Valente name. If you hadn’t, I would have found a way to force you.”

“Yeah, like you did with Alex and Nick.”

“Naturally.” There was a lengthy pause before Cesare spoke again. “What are you going to do now?”

“I’m not sure,” Matt murmured, sounding distracted.

Lana, standing in the doorway, felt as though her breath had been cut off. They were talking about her.

And what was this about Alex and Nick? Cesare had forced them to marry their wives? He would have forced Nick to marry, too?

God, how many lives were the Valentes prepared to wreck for the sake of the family name?
