When Aeliana could no longer see Silvanus’s figure, she lowered her head. The smile that once lingered on her lips slowly faded, replaced by a quiet unease.

Her gaze drifted around the expanse of the mansion. The place was far too vast—like a castle—for a single person to live in all day. There was something strange in its atmosphere. The mansion seemed to breathe out sorrow, loss, and longing. A heaviness settled in Aeliana’s chest, and a sudden change in her mood washed over her.

Was this house once happy?

The mansion itself was beautiful—there was nothing wrong with it. And Aeliana, who often preferred solitude, normally found peace in silence. Yet there was something different about this house.

It radiated a kind of sadness that seeped into her, as though a thousand silent griefs pierced through her heart every time she moved from one room to another.

She decided to return to her room.

Her footsteps were heavy, her pace slow. In that moment, she thought perhaps she should s

  • The Forgotten Billionaire    Chapter 5: The Dream

    Seated on the couch was a little girl. In front of her stood a man and a woman, both smiling warmly at her. The house was grand, filled with guests applauding and celebrating. Everyone seemed joyful, as though the moment itself was wrapped in happiness. The little girl stood and walked toward the stage. There she was—smiling as if there were no tomorrow—wearing an elegant gown that shimmered beneath the chandelier lights. On the opposite side stood two tall, magnificent cakes, each adorned with the number ten on top. To the tune of Moonlight Sonata, the little girl felt a tender solitude radiating from the artist playing the piano. The music fit perfectly for the moment, graceful and gentle—just like the young girl standing proudly on the stage. And then, she began to dance. The little girl swayed to the sound of the music, her movements graceful and light. Everyone in the room chanted her name, praising and complimenting her. It was her tenth birthday. The guests came from

  • The Forgotten Billionaire    Chapter 4: Different

    While Aeliana stayed in Silvanus’s mansion, she slowly began to feel a sense of comfort within its walls. Each morning, the first thing that greeted her upon waking up was the fresh morning breeze. Whenever boredom crept in, Aeliana would stroll through the wide garden visible from the mansion’s main entrance. There stood a small but grand pavilion—its design so old that Aeliana couldn’t tell how long it had been standing there. Once a week, the couple Bob and Lindy came to the mansion to oversee the general cleaning. On the days the couple weren’t around, Aeliana was left with only Silvanus’s company at night. Although Silvanus was her husband, Aeliana still felt awkward around him—something she couldn’t quite explain but somehow felt natural. Every day, Aeliana was alone in the mansion from morning until dusk. Silvanus would return home only after work. Yet, Silvanus never forgot to bid her goodbye. Her bedroom was their meeting place every night. As soon as Silvanus arrived,

  • The Forgotten Billionaire    Chapter 3: Resentment

    Day and night passed swiftly. Little by little, Aeliana was learning to adapt to the modern world around her. Silvanus could see it—he could feel it. For reasons he could not explain, he too began to sense a change within himself. Aeliana, his wife—though stricken with amnesia—moved and spoke differently than before. Her manner was unusual, even peculiar. Bob and Lindy, the couple who had known her from the very beginning, also noticed this on the first day they saw her again. Silvanus was troubled. He could not bear the thought of Aeliana suffering further. Thus, he decided that the only way to shield her from more pain was to remain silent, to keep certain truths locked within himself. Not long ago, Silvanus had received a phone call from his parents, Hannah and Dave, inviting him to return home to where they lived. Hannah and Dave harbored resentment toward Aeliana. Once, they had been kind and welcoming in the days when he and Aeliana were still lovers. But one mistake—one tra

    Not so long after, the doctor announced that she could finally go home. The doctor prescribed Aeliana medicines and pain relievers in case the headaches she had been experiencing would return.She left the hospital accompanied by Silvanus, who drove the car towards an unfamiliar place.Aeliana grew restless.When they arrived, the two of them stood before the gates of a massive mansion. Many thoughts crowded Aeliana’s mind, doubts gnawing at her—should she really trust this man, who still felt like a stranger to her?The only thing she clung to in that moment was a fragile hope—that Silvanus was telling her the truth. The mansion, Silvanus claimed as his own, was empty of residents. Silvanus explained to Aeliana that from time to time, he paid people to keep the place clean and in order.As Silvanus opened the door, Aeliana was greeted by the grandeur of the architectural design of the foyer. Everything, including the staircase that spiraled upward to the second floor, was foreign to

  • The Forgotten Billionaire    Chapter 1: Awake

    She regained consciousness in the hospital. Feeling exhausted and weary. She remembered nothing—not even her own name. On the soft, white bed lay a woman who slowly opened her eyes. She could not move her body. Every attempt to do so only rewarded her with unbearable pain. For a moment, she froze when she realized where she was. She was in a single room, alone. Gathering her courage, she pulled the blanket higher to cover herself from the piercing cold. What was she doing in the hospital? And why was she there in the first place? She tried hard to recall her senses, but no memory came into her mind. Then she heard the door open and close. The sound of footsteps slowly approached where she lays. She could not bring herself to look at whoever it was. All she could do was pretend to be asleep. She heard a deep sigh. Right before her was an unfamiliar scent and a figure she did not recognize. “Aeliana…” A man. The voice belonged to a man. Her chest stirred at the sound, awakening
