Series 2 He Let Our Daughter Die , Now I'll Ruin Him Chapter 1 - A Nightmare Sophia's Pov " Admit what you've done , or watch your bastard daughter die ! " The words hit like a bullet to the spine . I stared at the open ramp of the private jet , heart pounding , breath caught in my throat . There she was - Ariella - my baby girl . Clutched in Lorenzo's arms , her tiny chest rising in short , panicked gasps . Her oxygen mask was gone . Her lips were already turning blue . Her little hands curled , clawing at the air like she was trying to breathe in the sky . " No ... no ...

Lorenzo , please - she needs the oxygen ! " I choked , my throat closing up . He stood just feet from the edge of the hatch , calm and detached , like he wasn't dangling a six - year - old over a crocodile - infested river thousands of feet below . " Nine minutes , " he said . I dropped to my knees . My fingers trembled against the cold floor of the aircraft as I looked up at him - at the man who used to cradle me like I was made of glass . His face was now made of stone . Not a flicker of mercy . He used to promise me the world . Now he promised to rip my heart out of it .

" Please , Lorenzo , I don't know what you're talking about , " I sobbed . " You kidnapped Renata ! " he thundered . Her name hit harder than a slap . Of course , it had to be about her . Renata . The woman who'd dug her claws into his bed and his heart . His mistress , his obsession - the one who poisoned my home . " I didn't , " I whispered , voice cracking . " I swear to you - I didn't touch her . " He gave me a chilly smile , making my blood freeze . 7:11 Tue , Sep 9 " Eight minutes . Tell me where Renata is ! " " She's your daughter too ! " I screamed , desperation clawing at my lungs .

That's when he laughed like it was a joke . " She's not mine , " he said , voice like venom . " And I've got the DNA test to prove it . You're such a filthy whore , you don't even know who her father is . " My eyes snapped to Ariella . Her lips were purple . Her chest stuttered , struggling to rise . Her legs kicked weakly . Her fingers reached for the oxygen . mask swinging in his other hand . I dropped lower - onto my knees , forehead nearly to the floor . My voice . trembled . " I swear I don't know where Renata is . Please , just ... save my daughter ," I cried , barely able to breathe .

" Please ... " Lorenzo moved then . Stepped forward and grabbed my arm in a vice grip , jerking me upright . " You are pathetic and a terrible liar , " he spat . And then the slap landed . Blinding and sharp . My vision burst into stars . My left ear rang , then went numb . " There's enough evidence to bury you in concrete , " he hissed . I looked up at him , my skin burning , my soul barely holding together . " You were the last person Renata texted , " he continued . " The hotel camera footage shows someone in your jacket dragging her by the wrist . Her bracelet ? Found near your bedroom .
