“Thank you, Ms. Swan,” Carmen D’Amato said, hugging Bella
tightly. “I have no doubt that with your help, we can get Alec’s birth parents’
rights removed. They caused so much damage to my little boy. I hate seeing him
so empty.”
Bella watched as the boy played robotically in the firm’s
play room. He was still heavily medicated, but was recovering, slowly from his
traumatic ordeal of meeting Felix. Upon seeing a picture of Felix and a photo
of his birth father, Bella understood why the boy was upset. They were nearly
identical in every way, except the eyes. Felix had dark brown eyes while Alec’s
birth father, Sean, had bright green eyes. Sean, though, looked evil, dark and
mean, a monster among men.
“With a mother like you, Mrs. D’Amato, Alec will grow and
thrive to be the man he was supposed to be,” Bella whispered. “And call me
Bella. We have a long journey and such formalities aren’t needed.”
“Only if you call me Carmen,” she replied, hugging her new
attorney. “I’m sorry that my husband couldn’t make it back from his business
trip. There was an awful snowstorm that canceled his flight.”
“It’s no problem. I wanted to make sure that Alec was okay
with me helping him out. Our physical similarities worked in our favor,” Bella
quipped.
Carmen D’Amato was ten years older than Bella, but was the
same height and build to the warm, loving woman. Alec looked at Bella a long
time before he started talking. However, once he sensed that Bella wasn’t a
threat, he opened up and told her all about what his parents did to him.
