Anna's throat went dry when she heard her baby's question. What was she supposed to answer? Lie or tell the truth now?

She has been lying to her for so long. Was that worth it? Yes, both Alex and Kiara did come closer but now what? wasn't this supposed to come out one or the other day?

Moreover, Alex is waiting to get his real position as soon as possible. He is waiting how long it will take for him to love his daughter and hear the word, 'dad' from her mouth.

"Mommy? Is Alex's uncle really my real dad? Who we will though is no more in this world?" Kiara Once again asked when she noticed that her mother was absent-minded.

More or less, she was not in the right state to answer but Anna calmed her nerves and asked herself to stay calm. "Baby.. did you see the news that was there on the television?"

"I did and that is why I'm asking mommy." How stupid of her to ask this from Kiara. Obviously, she saw everything and heard it. That is why she is asking if Alex is her real daddy or not.

Her hand was almost covered with sweat due to the nervousness. She can feel her head was revolving at another kind of speed and it was even bringing some kind of new headache to her.

At last, Anna's heart can't lie any longer as he revealed, "Yes Kia, Alex is your real father, who wasn't there with us for so long. I know… you have any questions. Ask them if you want time…."

Kiara didn't show any expressions and it made her even more shocked. Her daughter was really good at hiding her emotions well behind her eyes.

Anna knew that she couldn't hide it anymore and heard Kiara saying, "Where was he for so long then?"

"Baby.." Anna took Kiara's hands in hers and looked deep into her eyes. "When I was pregnant with you, your father had an… accident..so he fell from the top of the mountains. We thought that he died.. but he didn't."

"He was in a coma… you can say he was sleeping for a very long time and he had no consciousness and no knowledge that he had a baby like you. When he woke up, he immediately came back to us and I introduced you to him as your uncle.."

"Kiara, I never wanted you to be shocked or surprised. We all thought that they actually died long ago and that..is why I told you that. No one actually believed that he will escape that fall.. When he came back, I didn't want you to be shocked and be confused and act like a stranger and be afraid of your own father.." Anna added which she felt was also necessary.

Anna simplified the words as much as she could. She doesn't want to confuse Kiara because she is still a child. What effect will it have on her if she says that she killed her father because of some misunderstandings?

Obviously, this will be revealed as well. She won't be able to hide the real identity of the underworld but right now, Anna knows that it is impossible for her. She can't take the same risk.

Kiara looked at Anna with her round eyes. "So… you mean to say that he wasn't with us because he was sleeping for so long?"

"Exactly my child. He fell from which height it took him the last five years to recover from that fall. Injuries were very much bad… and if he had come in for you in that condition, wouldn't that scare you much?"

"Maybe...yes.. maybe not… at the end, he was my father.." Kiara was confused or shocked, Anna can't guess it from her expressions.

When she saw the look on her face, she took her into her embrace and hugged her lightly, "It's okay to be not okay at this point. This might take a while to you to accept everything that is happening right now and..-"

"Mommy, can I confess something as well?" Kiara innocently asked and Anna nodded her head. Why will she not allow her? "I already knew that he is my father… not uncle from the start."

Instead, Anna choked on her saliva when she heard her daughter's words. It was unimaginable to her that Kiara knew everything from the start. But she never said anything to anyone?

How?! When?! She never thought about it. Kiara already knew that Alex is her father...wait, then why did she tell her?

"F..from where did you get to know?" Her voice cracked in the middle of the nervousness. But Kiara appeared to be normal. Neither was she too shocked or showed any kind of disappointment.

"The phone that you have. When I met my uncle in that restaurant, I thought of checking out your old pictures. Maybe I can replace him and dad together but… I just found your picture with him."

"Then I saw the pictures that were there in your phone.. of you and daddy. I always knew that you have kept his one picture to showcase me and I compared both the prices to see that… he is the same person. He is my father… who wasn't there for us for so long."

Kiara was pretty much straightforward which quite stunned Anna because she was least expecting her daughter to go to this depth to know about her father.

"So… all this time you're aware that he is your father and yet you never disclosed it. Why Kia?!" Anna asked because she can't believe her ears.

"I waited for you to tell me. I felt that if you are hiding it from me, there must be something really big for you to do so. You won't lie until it is really dangerous."
