Chapter 76 Dna Test
Alessandro had returned to Paris for a seminar, sitting in his office with his mind swirling with anticipation. He couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement at the thought of the joy the DNA test results would bring to him and his family. He had sent the samples to Paris, where fewer people knew about him in that big city. He didn't want the news to leak before he received confirmation.
He was absolutely certain that the test would be positive. Deep down, he didn't need confirmation that Mia was his sister, but having the results in hand would prove it to the world and to her.
He had meticulously conducted a background check on her and discovered that she lived alone with her twin children. There were no clues about her marital status or her parents, further solidifying his belief that she must be his long-lost sister.
Lost in his thoughts, Alexander's cell phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID and grinned upon seeing it was Mia. It seemed almost serendipitous that he had just been thinking of her, and now she was calling-it felt like a bond of family. "Mia!" he exclaimed as he answered the call. "I was just thinking of you," he blurted out honestly, unable to contain his excitement.
"Alexander!" Mia's voice came through the phone's speakers, and he could almost sense her smiling face as her voice reached him. "And in your thoughts, you sent me chocolates and a teddy bear. And guess what? I actually received them. Mia teased playfully. Alexander couldn't help himself; he had impulsively sent Mia chocolates and a teddy bear, a gesture he had always wanted to make for his baby sister. With the imminent arrival of the test results today, he was overflowing with excitement. Despite his eagerness to deliver these gifts personally, he restrained himself, waiting anxiously for the results to arrive.
"I hope you like them," Alexander chuckled warmly at Mia's playful banter. His heart swelled with a mix of joy and longing at the thought of always sharing such bright, light-hearted moments with his sister.
To the world, Alexander was known as a serious and authoritative figure, renowned for his cold demeanor and ruthless decision-making. But for his family, he was a different man-a caring and loving figure who would go to any lengths for his mother, sister, and the love of his life. "Yeah, I liked them, but you didn't have to do it, Mia replied hesitantly, her voice tinged with confusion. She couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled by the chocolates and teddy bear. After all, she was no longer a child or a teenage girl. "It was very unexpected to receive chocolates and a teddy bear," she mused aloud, her gaze drifting unconsciously towards the gifts Alexander had sent. "But it was nice at the same time," she added sincerely.
"If you don't like them, tell me. I can send anything you want," Alexander asked anxiously, his voice betraying a hint of desperation.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
"No, no!" Mia responded promptly, her tone firm. She didn't want him to send her anything. After all, he was her client, and she was being paid to decorate the interiors of his luxury apartment. She wanted to maintain a strictly professional relationship. Despite never sensing any ill intentions from Alexander, she preferred to keep a distance. Her life was already filled with enough drama, and she had no desire to invite
more.
"Well, are you free this evening?" Alexander asked impulsively, unable to stop himself.

Duke of Monaco's apartment, Mia replied, her tone tersing, which clicited a chuckle from Alexander
"I understand, Mia. My mother was in town, and I wanted you both to finally meet. Remember, you missed the opportunity last time," Alessandro said gently.
Camille had come with him, eager to see the DNA test results as well. The heart of a mother was anxious to find her lost daughter. It was going to be the most emotional and happiest moment all at once.
"Oh, yeah," Mia exclaimed, slapping her hand lightly on her forehead in mock frustration.
"I'm really sorry about that. I hope you conveyed my apology to Lady Camille, Mia added nervously. biting her lip. The Duke and his mother were prominent figures, and she didn't want to inadvertently offend them.
"Don't worry, Mia. She doesn't need an apology; she wants a dinner with you, Alexander assured her warmly.
He hoped Mia would accept his invitation for dinner, where he planned to reveal the DNA test results. It would be a beautiful moment to witness his mother reunited with her long-lost daughter.
"Fuck!" Alexander cursed silently to himself.
He had already planned so much to celebrate this occasion. Alexander eagerly anticipated calling Chloe and inviting her as well. Chloe was an integral part of his life, and his love for her was deep and genuine. He was determined to ensure she never felt like an outsider, especially after moments when his mother unintentionally made her feel that way,
But with his mother insisting on his marriage, how would he handle telling Chloe that he had to marry someone else, not her?
"Alexander! Alexander, Mia's voice on the phone snapped him back to the present, and he replied swiftly, realizing he had been holding the phone absentmindedly.
"Yeah, I'm here," he mumbled promptly.
"I'm very sorry for tonight; something urgent has come up. But I'll try to arrange a meeting with Her Highness very soon," Mia said, her voice carrying a genuine sense of helplessness that convinced Alexander she was not making excuses.
"Alright, Mia. We will be waiting," he replied calmly.
"Thank you," Mia murmured gratefully. "By the way, the apartment is almost ready. If you want to visit and inspect the work, you can come anytime," she suggested.
"No need. I trust your talent. I'll come to see it when the whole apartment is completed and you hand it over to me. And don't worry about the time. Take as much time as you need. No need to hurry and take care of yourself," he said warmly, his words contrasting with Mia's expectations based on what she had
heard about the Duke.
Mia felt her heart melt at the Duke's kindness, which was far from the rumors she had heard about him.
Mia nodded, though she knew Alexander couldn't see her over the phone.
Suddenly, a knock sounded at Alexander's office door.

"One moment, Mia. I'll call you later, okay? Take care," Alexander said urgently.
"Okay, bye, Alexander," Mia whispered softly before disconnecting the call.
"Come in," Alexander called out, his voice tight with anticipation.
His trustworthy assistant entered, holding a white envelope in his hand. Alexander's eyes gleamed with hope and anticipation, knowing what it could contain.
The assistant extended his hand, offering the envelope to Alexander. With swift movements, Alexander, took it and tore it open eagerly, his heart racing as he unfolded the contents and read the result inside. But all his hope shattered as he saw that one damning word in place of the DNA test result.
NEGATIVE.
Alexander couldn't believe it. How could his intuition, so certain for the first time in his life, be wrong? He cursed his luck and felt a profound disappointment that cut deeper than anything he had ever experienced before.
