With some effort, Olivia pressed the code next to the door and proceeded towards the elevator. Olivia didn't particularly like being in small, enclosed spaces. People referred to it as claustrophobia. Fortunately, Olivia's claustrophobia wasn't too severe. As long as she didn't spend too much time in the elevator, she believed she would be fine. She couldn't imagine having severe claustrophobia, as it would mean having to climb the emergency stairs all thirty floors every time she visited the place.Olivia stepped out of the elevator, walked towards the door on the right, and entered the opening code. And there it was—a penthouse dominated by glass walls, offering breathtaking views of the city.Olivia had been going back and forth to the penthouse for two years. But every time she entered, she felt amazed. Looking out the window, it was like observing a beautiful metropolis painting.She placed her bag on the bar table, walked towards the island set, and started organizing the items

Honestly, throughout her life, she had seen shirtless men not just once or twice. Even since she moved in with the Quirino family, the sight of broad chests and six-pack abs seemed like a normal occurrence to Olivia.However, seeing the Quirino sons never tempted Olivia, let alone elicited the intense thudding in her chest like it did now. With messy long hair and a bathrobe revealing a small part of his broad chest, for some reason, Olivia suddenly felt uncomfortable. Her hands seemed itchy, wanting to reach out and touch the tanned skin.And again, seeing stubbles and mustaches had become a daily occurrence for her since she started working for the Quirino family. But seeing the tanned stubbles and mustaches on the man earlier made Olivia...She shook her head vigorously and quickly walked towards the kitchen.Olivia took out the beef she had just put in the freezer. She thinly sliced the steak meat she had bought from the supermarket. Then, she took out some button mushrooms from t

Olivia continued her work, leaving her guest to eat alone. As she lifted her cloth to wipe off dirt, her eyes widened in shock. A memory flashed into her mind. She turned back towards the dining table to make sure what she had seen was real. Earlier, she noticed a resemblance between the guest and her other employer. However, at that time, Olivia dismissed it, thinking they might be from the same country, and that's why their facial features looked similar. But now, after giving it some thought, what Olivia initially considered common was not ordinary at all. It was familiar. His face, although not identical to the photos in the Antony-Claire family's residence, was strikingly similar. The man currently having breakfast looked quite messy. His long hair was haphazardly tied at the back of his head, with strands almost covering two-thirds of his face. This appearance was vastly different from the person Olivia often saw in the family photos, the ones she had no idea when they were t

Wasn't their love story incredibly tragic and sad? When compared to his parents. His uncles. His siblings. It seemed there was no story sadder than his.Ignazio still stood there with all the sorrow he thought he could dispel but ultimately made him tear up again and cry silently. He tried to wipe away his tears roughly, although it didn't reduce the pain that stabbed his heart again and constricted his chest.Ignazio realized, the girl had sung a different song. The lyrics and melody of the girl's song had changed again. Ignazio didn't know why the girl was singing so loudly. As if she was mocking him.Did the girl know who he was? It was possible. If the girl indeed worked with her family, she must have seen his face in some photos that her parents probably displayed on the walls of their house.Although he had left America for five years, not much had changed about him.Except for his hair, which he now let grow longer than when he married Gianna. The beard and stubble he left unke

Olivia stepped out of the taxi right in front of the Antony-Claire family residence. She greeted the security guard who opened the door for her and walked through the side area of the main house towards her own living quarters. Just before she could open the door, she heard one of the house assistants calling her."Granny asked me to call you into the main house when you got back," said the woman in her forties who had been working in the Quirino family for quite some time."Why? What's going on?" Olivia asked, feeling anxious.The woman shook her head. "Granny has been asking repeatedly whether you've returned or not," she replied. Without waiting for further explanation, Olivia walked towards the main house through the kitchen.Olivia searched for the middle-aged woman who was said to be looking for her. But before she could find the lady of the house, she was instead greeted with a hug from a small hand that she recognized instantly.She turned around and saw Gianna grinning at her

"Physically, yes," said Olivia. Her eyes glanced at the oversized photo on the wall. "He looks very different from the one in that photo," she continued, seemingly making Mrs. Claire feel sad. "He doesn't talk much, not like Rayyan or Meizar. He's more like...""Geremia?" Mrs. Claire inquired. Olivia thought for a moment to make a comparison, but then she shook her head."Doctor Geremia's expression always appears cold, but he doesn't," Olivia countered."Zello?" Mrs. Claire asked again. Once more, Olivia shook her head."Neither," she replied honestly. "He seems calm like Mr. Luca. But still not quite like Mr. Luca.""Then, like whom?" Granny Claire asked impatiently."He's like Grandpa Antony," she answered then.Granny Claire appeared lost in thought. Olivia nodded in agreement with her own thoughts."His way of speaking is very polite and gentle. His gaze is also melancholic, but there's still a mischievous glint in his eyes. His skin isn't as pale as it appears in the photos, and

"We already know that Ignazio has returned," Geremia said when Olivia informed him of the information. Olivia stared at her brother-in-law in surprise, unable to speak."We have many people assigned to monitor him all this time, Olivia," Olivia turned to Luca, who happened to be visiting her brother-in-law's residence. She glanced back at Geremia and saw him nodding."We never let him out of our sight," Geremia replied. "We allowed him to leave, but that doesn't mean we let go of him just like that. Ignazio's situation is different. He didn't leave for a vacation. He left with a deep emotional wound. We don't know what demons might have whispered to him."It's possible he resigned himself to his fate and chose to end his life," Geremia said casually."We gave him time to think and heal his feelings. But we never stopped monitoring him," Luca added. "We know where he is, what he's doing, and everything he's up to, until the moment he booked his ticket to return to America, we received

Olivia remembered the first time she was introduced to the entire Quirino family was after Geremia and Rianna's official wedding. At that time, she had only glimpsed Ignazio, and even then, it was from a distance, much like during Gretta's funeral.Olivia continued to flip through the album. Every time, her eyes were drawn to the image of Ignazio full of laughter. His face was so youthful, although he had already started growing a stubble, beard, and mustache, but they were thin. Not like now, thick and even his hair was very long.She opened another cover, an elegant black leather album with gold letters on the outside that read Ignazio-Gretta, complete with the date and year of their wedding. Judging from the photos, the celebration was undoubtedly as festive as the one Geremia had organized for Rianna a few years ago.Once again, Olivia looked at Ignazio's laughing face, six years younger than the Ignazio she had seen in the penthouse. In the album, she could also see the affection
