"But how do you know about that?",Damian asked, feeling shocked and surprised at the same time.
I heard your and my nanny Mrs. Briganza's conversation where she was scolding you for hiding my real mother's identity to me.
Then when she came back to me, I asked her about my real parents and forced her to spill out the truth then only I get to know that how my mother left me after my birth and you were the only one who raised me like your own child instead of my biological father who never even cared for my existence in the first place.",She blurted in one go, like she was telling them a story.
Damian hugged her immediately after watching her tears in those beautiful eyes and Stella hold both of them, making them aware of her presence and support to them.
"I love you Daddy, even if my real father one day comes looking after me, I will always choose you over him.", she said, in between her sobbing.
"Don't worry princess, I will never let anyone snatch you away from me. It's my promise to you."Damian promised, kissing her forehead.
"Now enough of your emotional talking. Who will come with me for an ice-cream treat from my side?",Stella questioned, trying to divert their mind from the current topic.
"Me..mee.."Scarlett spoke, raising her hands and everyone smiled, finding her gesture cute.
"Come. Let's go.",Damian said, taking her in his arms and holding Stella's hand in his.

"Khushi had a cruel past before where she only faced harassment and torture from her step mother and step brother.
When they crossed all their limits to torture her, she finally decided to escape from their ,not able to handle their cruelty anymore.
She loved her father who later got busy handling his business and taken the responsibility of Khushi to her step mother unaware of her torture.
Later he met with an accident where he got paralyzed but he still loves her and remembers her every time."Neil informed his boss, by collecting as much information as he could from his sources whom he hired for investigating her life in detail.
"That's really great. Now we know that Abeer had fallen in love with her. We had found his weakness finally and could use it against him now.",The boss said feeling happy.
"Yes, boss. Now I can take his place which he snatched from me earlier after his coming back to our life.", Neil said ,feeling relaxed.
"Keep your eyes on him as I don't want to take any risk like every time when our plan got backfired.''His boss informed, and hung up the call.
Neil was sitting in a restaurant waiting for his order to come when his eyes landed on Scarlett who was enjoying her ice-cream with her family.
Neil's world was momentarily upended as he locked eyes with Scarlett, a girl whose appearance was an uncanny mirror image of his ex-girlfriend, Amelia.
His face contorted into a mixture of shock and disbelief as he struggled to process the surreal scene unfolding before him.
Scarlett's features, her hair, her eyes, even the way she smiled, bore an undeniable resemblance to Amelia.
It was as if a piece of his past had been resurrected in the form of this innocent child.
The memories of his time with Amelia, the love they had shared and the pain of their separation, all came rushing back with a vengeance.
As Neil continued to gaze at Scarlett, he couldn't help but be haunted by the striking resemblance.
It was as if fate had conspired to place this child in his path, to remind him of a love lost but never forgotten.
In that moment, his emotions were a tumultuous sea of nostalgia, longing, and an inexplicable sense of wonder at the mysterious twists of life.
Scarlett's presence had resurrected a chapter of Neil's life that he had tried to move on from, and her uncanny likeness to Amelia left him grappling with a flood of emotions.
It was a profound reminder that sometimes, life had a way of weaving unexpected connections and bringing the past into the present in the most unexpected and astonishing ways.
"How could she be an exact carbon copy of her?"Neil questioned, his voice trembling in the pain he felt in his chest.
"Who is she? I have to know about her. Is she related to her? If yes, then how?"Neil questioned himself, his mind traveling to his past back with so many unanswerable questions.
Neil captured a photo of her in his mobile to gather some information about him.
"I am sorry Amelia for what I did to you. I know there is no apology for the crime I committed to you. And trust me, I regret everyday for committing the biggest mistake of my life by betraying you in the first place.
After leaving you, I realized I could not love anyone else like the way I used to do with you. You were the only one whom I loved with all my heart but lost you forever due to my stupidity.
But if fate has connected us again through her, I will make sure to go to any extent to make you mine again."He confessed looking towards Scarlett.
His eyes then landed on Damian and Stella.
"Why did I feel like I had seen them before ? I don't remember exactly where but somewhere I have seen them.",He whispered, talking to himself.
He then sent Scarlett's picture to his private detective, messaging him to find out all the details and her history within two days.
"I want to correct my mistake which I committed a long time ago but burning from inside everyday recalling how stupid I was to let her go from my life when all I ever wanted was her and only her.
Noone could give me the same love she used to give once upon a time.", Neil regretted his decision of cheating her.
