Chapter 246

• Il più caro Leandro…Sono così spiacente…Lascilo vederlo…Il vostro padre votato…
• Dearest Leandro…I’m so sorry…Let me see you…Your devoted father.
• Leandro’s father. He’d written him, after all these years, and Leandro had clearly thrown the letter away. Zoe stared at the words, trying to make more sense of it. The picture Leandro had painted of his father had been of an entirely unscrupulous man, corrupted by lust and driven by desperation. A man who had abandoned his family without a single backward glance, never to see them again.
