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 26: The Monroe's Mansion

    When they arrived at the Monroe residence, a maid greeted them at the door. The woman froze the moment she saw Aeliana. Her eyes flicked briefly toward Silvanus, uncertainty flashing across her face, before she silently gestured for them to step inside—but only as far as the foyer. Aeliana took in her surroundings, her gaze drifting across the grand interior—the marble floors, the sweeping staircase, the gilded chandelier above. She never imagined that on this very day, she would set foot inside the home of her… parents. Her grip unconsciously tightened on Silvanus’s arm. He looked down at her without saying a word. Instead, he reached for her hand—a quiet reassurance that she wasn’t alone here. The gesture made her chest loosen a little. Without meaning to, she looked up at him. His head was slightly bowed toward her, eyes calm and steady, as if silently telling her to be brave, to face whatever awaited her. The maid excused herself and left. They sat together on a small two-sea

  • The Forgotten Billionaire    Chapter 25: The Price of Claiming

    "You don't have to be shy. Don't cover it. I had already seen enough," Silvanus commented. There was a hint of motivation in his voice. She slowly removed her hands that were covering the most private part of her body. "There. It's really a good sight to see. And I really missed it, too," he declared. The light from the chandelier filled Silvanus's figure and texture. His nakedness, as well as hers, would never be a burden to seeing each other's wholly. Aeliana didn't want to look away from his throbbing manhood. It seemed ready to engage in a battle that she didn't know if she could handle. Silvanus once again positioned himself on top of her. He parted her legs for total access, and Aeliana gave in. She closed her eyes. Feeling the tip of his manhood at her entrance, he rubbed it slowly while kissing her like there was no tomorrow. Until she gradually felt his manhood entering her. Aeliana involuntarily gasped. Their eyes met. Her mouth was agape, her eyes wide. He was her husban

  • The Forgotten Billionaire    Chapter 24: A Night of Longing

    She felt heavy-hearted. They were on their way back to the mansion without having obtained even a little information. The driver only dropped her off and then excused himself to return to work. Aeliana waited for the time to pass. The day was still long, and she had nothing to do. She had many questions, and this time, they weren't just about the past. She was curious about the real identity of Silvanus Clemonte. Aeliana knew that there was still much she didn't know about him, and about how influential her husband was. That was what she needed to find out. Absentmindedly, she stared at their wedding pictures. Based on what she saw, she looked very happy, with his hands around her waist. She was brushing her teeth at that time. It was nine o'clock at night. She was just waiting for the time when Silvanus would arrive. The very next day, she would go to her parents' house. She had no idea how their arranged marriage with Silvanus came about. Aeliana wanted to know the origin. She did

  • The Forgotten Billionaire    Chapter 23: The Return to Lalakay

    Aeliana adjusted the clothes she was wearing. She could see how much the place had changed—unfamiliar and distant, almost like a forgotten dream. She couldn’t believe she had once lived there when she was young. Returning now, she didn’t know what she would discover—or if there was still anyone waiting for her. She was accompanied by the driver assigned to her by Silvanus. Their first destination was the place she had only recently learned about. She wanted to meet the woman who had raised her in the countryside, and to understand why she hadn’t grown up under the care of the Monroes. She had left the mansion early that morning, after Silvanus firmly reminded her to send him a message at all times, no matter what happened. Silvanus had mentioned that the woman who once took care of her lived in Lalakay, Los Baños, Laguna. Aeliana couldn’t explain why an odd nervousness began to rise from her chest—fear of what truths she might uncover. Why had the Monroes left her with a mere house

  • The Forgotten Billionaire    Chapter 22: Twilight Warmth

    Both of them were smiling on their way home. Riding on the back of the horse named Midnight, Aeliana no longer felt the weariness or the faint tremor of nervousness that usually accompanied her every time she's at the top of the horse. The presence of Silvanus behind her brought her an inexplicable sense of peace. There was a quiet intimacy in the way he held her — gentle, steady, yet full of unspoken depth. And Aeliana knew within herself that she was beginning to like the strange, comforting thrill that came with every brush of his fingers against her skin. She didn’t want the moment to pass too quickly. She wished time would simply stop — there, in that peaceful scene, with Silvanus by her side, smiling under the quiet breath of dusk. But she also knew that everything had its end. By the time they reached the ranch, the sun was already dipping beyond the horizon, surrendering to the coming night. The faint glow of twilight spread across the fields as the first hint of the m

  • The Forgotten Billionaire    Chapter 21: The Stream of Forgotten Kisses

    When Silvanus suggested bathing in the stream, Aeliana quickly refused, explaining she hadn't brought any clothes. "There's always a backup, Aeliana," Silvanus replied. "Backup? What do you mean?" she asked, intrigued by Silvanus's resourcefulness. He seemed to make the impossible possible. He moved away from the window and stood to Aeliana's left. Before him was a sizable rectangular box of moderate height. Silvanus opened it and pulled out a simple swimsuit. Her eyes widened in surprise. She couldn't believe he had women's clothes. "Don't give me that look, Aeliana. Any women's items or clothes I have are for you. Don't accuse me," he said defensively. She hadn't said a word, yet he seemed overly defensive. Besides, his initial attempt to ward off Lyra during her first visit to his office hadn't been very convincing. "What about Lyra?" she couldn't help but ask. "Why does she seem to come and go from your office so freely?" "That woman is stubborn. The more I reject her, the
