After greeting some members of the Quirino family, Olivia chose to head to the kitchen, intending to assist the household assistants in preparing food for the sizable Quirino family. However, as soon as she entered and took hold of a spatula, she was kicked out with the excuse that they didn't want to incur Granny Claire's wrath, and they didn't want Olivia to get dirty.

Resigned to the situation, Olivia walked towards the clean kitchen where the Quirino women—Ignazio's cousins—were preparing vegetables and fruits for a salad.

"How's working at Kralligimiz, enjoying it?" Ivana, her foster sister, asked. Ivana was the daughter of the Altezza-Adaline couple, the younger sister of the twins Falisha-Geremia, and the older sister of Rayyan Quirino.

"Well, it's work, you know, the same everywhere. Nothing special," Olivia replied, taking a knife and helping peel fruits, just like Ivana was doing.

"Anything exciting happening?" Sara inquired. Sara was Ignazio's cousin, the eldest daughter

  • Become The Widower's Wife   Part 46

    On Saturday morning, with a fresh spirit, Ignazio descended to the lower floor and prepared for breakfast. His sister, along with her husband and Ignazio's nieces and nephews, were already downstairs, filling the table. The only ones missing were Meizar and Olivia.Ignazio approached the dining table, greeted everyone, stroked his daughter's head, and gave her a gentle kiss before taking a seat. His sister Flavia and her eldest daughter Ayla were preparing food on the table. Suspecting that Olivia might also be helping, Ignazio glanced towards the messy kitchen, but until his sister and her children sat down, Olivia had not appeared."Where's Meizar?" Ignazio asked casually, suspecting that his younger brother might still be asleep in his room."Meizar left early this morning with Olivia," his mother answered with a flat tone."Gone? With Olivia?" he asked, furrowing his brow. His mother nodded. "Where to?" he inquired."To the apartment," his mother replied again, still in her usual

    Olivia still hadn't returned when dinner arrived, and for some reason, it made Ignazio even more irritated. He glanced at the clock again, and time seemed to drag on for him.Where could she be? How long does it take for an evening class in her part-time studies? Do they study from morning until late at night like this? Are their heads okay if they keep receiving lessons?All these questions were accompanied by grumbling frustration. Ignazio wasn't focused when someone tried to talk to him because Olivia was the only thing in his mind.Fortunately, no one around him protested. Until, in order to avoid longer daydreaming, Ignazio chose to excuse himself and go upstairs, claiming he wanted to review the documents Meizar had given him.Upon returning to the upper floor, Ignazio found that he was not focused on the documents at all. He lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. His ears strained to listen, perhaps hoping to hear the sound of a vehicle approaching their home.His pare

    For Ignazio, Sunday passed with the same feeling. Annoying. Olivia disappeared since morning and only reappeared towards the evening. Ignazio really wanted to confront Olivia about the campus, letting her students go home until late at night. Would the campus take responsibility if something happened to her on the way home? For instance, if there was an accident because she was drowsy and negligent while driving, would they feel guilty?Yes, even though Olivia didn't drive herself, it was actually more worrying. There are many bad people out there. What if one of them targeted Olivia?However, Ignazio couldn't offer to escort or pick up Olivia from campus without making others suspicious. Even if he used worry as his reason, it would still make people raise their eyebrows at him. Meizar, who was closer to the girl, didn't do the same. Why should he act like that?When Monday morning arrived, Ignazio was nervous again. This was the day he would start everything in Kralligimiz.Five yea

    Meizar looked at his brother with furrowed brows, but then nodded and spoke firmly to his subordinates—who held high positions in the company. "See you at the welcome event later," he said, blocking people from entering the elevator where his father and Ignazio were already.Ignazio leaned against the elevator wall. He tried to control himself. His heart was beating faster than usual, and sweat started to form on his forehead. His father and brother looked at him with concern."You okay, Brother?" Meizar approached and observed his brother carefully.Ignazio raised his hand and nodded. He was fine. Or at least somewhat fine. He was just nervous and experiencing stage fright.It turned out to be much harder than he had imagined. He was genuinely surprised and unprepared.The elevator opened. Ignazio took a deep breath. Getting ready to be the center of attention again, but luckily, there weren't as many people on that floor as before. Still, they looked at Ignazio with curious stares,

    Olivia was aware, since she saw Ignazio in Meizar's room earlier, that he wasn't okay. However, he tried to appear fine. Ignazio must be experiencing a panic attack. Although it was not explicitly mentioned in the reports provided by Mrs. Claire, Olivia could read the signs. Olivia looked around to find a tissue, but she couldn't find one. "I'm sorry, Sir," she whispered before placing her fingers on Ignazio's forehead and gently wiping away the sweat with the edge of her shirt sleeve. Ignazio opened his eyes for a moment, silently observing Olivia before closing his eyes again and enjoying the gentle touch. Olivia reached for Ignazio's neck, loosening his tie and unbuttoning the top button of his shirt. She hoped that this would help Ignazio a little. The sweat wasn't only on his forehead and neck but covered his entire body. "Take off your jacket, Sir. I'll borrow Mr. Meizar's clothes so you can change your wet shirt," Olivia ordered softly, and Ignazio complied. After removin

    One hour later, Olivia heard the door open, and Ignazio appeared. The man wasn't as pale as before. It seemed he had changed his shirt to a new one."Sorry, I fell asleep," Ignazio said softly. Olivia just stood up and showed her polite smile."Should I contact Sir Meizar and let him know that you're ready to appear in front of the public?" she asked professionally.Ignazio blinked, feeling like he was just being reminded of something. He looked at Olivia and nodded."Yes, I think we should do that. That way, my dealings with people will be done quickly," he said, to which Olivia responded with a nod."Do you want me to call Sir Meizar here?" Olivia asked again. Ignazio shook his head."No. I think we better go to him ourselves," he replied straightforwardly. Olivia nodded again and left the desk."Are you going to move your stuff here? Aren't you going to work on this floor with me from now on?" he asked curiously.Olivia glanced back at her desk, seeing the table that had been her c

    "What brings you here?" Olivia asked curiously. Both of them looked up to see the elevator number in front of them."Don't you know?" Keir asked in return. Olivia glanced at him and instantly shook her head. "I work here too," Keir replied with a broad smile on his face. "As legal advisor for Kralligimiz." He whispered proudly."Wow," Olivia exclaimed, impressed. "That's amazing." Her praise was sincere. "But aren't lawyers usually employed by a law firm?"Keir nodded. "There's a family firm," he answered ambiguously. Olivia nodded, although she didn't fully understand."I didn't know you also work here. Since when?" She asked, curious. The elevator they were waiting for finally opened, and they entered, accompanied by a few other people."Not long," Olivia answered quietly. She then leaned towards Keir and whispered, "Nepotism." Making Keir look at her puzzled. "It's related to that contract," Olivia replied."Aahh..." Keir immediately nodded in understanding. "I heard you're still i

    "What was that?" Lorraine whispered when Olivia sat back down. "Is she declaring war? Or is she calling for a truce?" she asked Olivia, who responded with a shrug. "She's clearly showing her interest in Sir Ignazio. From the way she behaves, it seems like she sees you as competition," she continued in a whisper.Olivia stared at Lorraine with wide eyes in disbelief. "Don't be ridiculous, competition for what?""Competition to win Sir Ignazio," Lorraine replied casually.Olivia burst into laughter instantly. "Why bother competing? As if I'm going to snatch Sir Ignazio. As if Sir Ignazio is interested in me," she said with a grin. "Ayeleen doesn't like me because the other day I prevented her from getting close to Gianna," Olivia replied matter-of-factly.As Lorraine was about to argue back, the door of Meizar's office opened, and people emerged."We'll have lunch outside. Do you want to join?" Meizar offered to Lorraine, Olivia, and Sabrina. The three of them shook their heads. Meizar

    "OLIVIA IS SOUND ASLEEP on Ignazio's chest, her naked body covered only by a thin blanket on the top of the sofa. Ignazio smiles, lowers his head, and gazes at his young wife's face, gently brushing aside the strands of hair covering her face. He tenderly kisses Olivia's forehead, causing the young woman to snuggle even closer, seeking a comfortable position in the not-so-spacious place.Ignazio and his desire. Days without touching Olivia have evidently tormented him. Olivia's body has become his addiction; Ignazio can't imagine anything else when he looks at his wife, except for touching her. Keeping a distance from Olivia these past few nights has been truly agonizing for him, even more so than before they were married.Ignazio spends his nights restless. He chose to separate himself from Olivia, but he is the one suffering. Countless times every night, he leaves his workspace and intentionally goes upstairs just to see Olivia peacefully asleep. Ignazio wants to touch her, unveil t

    "WHAT SHOULD I do now?" Olivia asked desperately to her sister, Rianna, as she dropped off Gianna, who wanted to visit her cousin after school.Olivia finally told Rianna about Ignazio, who asked her to return to work at Kralligimiz as his personal assistant, which Olivia refused, citing that there was no one to take care of Gianna if she spent her time working.Olivia was truly confused. She thought that when the issue of the Mama's call was settled, her matters with Ignazio were also settled. But Olivia was wrong.When Gianna enthusiastically talked about having a new mom to her friends and teachers at school, Ignazio behaved coldly toward her. Two nights had passed since their return from Kralligimiz. In front of Gianna, Ignazio acted as if their relationship—Olivia and Ignazio—was fine. He smiled warmly and even chatted with Gianna whenever they were in the same room. However, when they were alone, Ignazi

    Before more accusations could come from Ignazio's mouth, Olivia quickly covered his mouth with both of her hands. "Not like that," she said, half whining.Ignazio still looked at her with merged eyebrows, making Olivia feel afraid. The demanding gaze of the man made Olivia's heart pound rapidly due to panic, while her mind was working hard to find the right words to say to Ignazio without offending or angering him.Olivia couldn't afford to lie to him because if she uttered one lie, she would have to weave more lies."So, what is it? Explain," said Ignazio coldly, demanding after Olivia released her hands from his mouth."I..." she began, confused. "I'm not ready to have a child," Olivia answered honestly."Why?" Ignazio demanded, not satisfied."Zio, I'm still too young to have a child," she continued nervously.Ignazio sighed. "And I'm

    "But, Zio..." Olivia whispered softly as she felt Ignazio's kiss on her neck."Hmm?" Ignazio asked without moving his lips away from Olivia's neck, sniffing it as if savoring the scent of her body."Until when are we going to be here?" Olivia asked nervously. The remnants of her sanity began to make her anxious about what people might think of their relationship. She really didn't like it when people gossiped about her.Yes, they were already married. Even though their official papers hadn't come out yet, they were still halal to be together whenever and wherever they pleased.Nevertheless, Olivia wasn't ready to answer the questions of those who might see them. Just imagine what Ignazio's receptionist or secretary might think tomorrow when they saw Olivia leaving Ignazio's office in the morning, afternoon, or maybe evening without ever having seen her enter?Or wondering about h

    OLIVIA WINCED SOFTLY. She felt aches all over her body. She wanted to get up, but the soreness in her body made her want to curl up longer. Her eyes slowly opened. The first thing she saw was a wide glass window with beautiful tiny rays of light.Is there a fireworks party outside? she asked herself. But those rays of light didn't move like fireworks usually do. Olivia tightened her blanket and chose to gaze at the scenery a little longer."Are you awake?" The soft low-toned question made Olivia realize that she wasn't alone. Memories flooded back to her instantly. Scene after scene she did a few hours ago made Olivia widen her eyes.She turned and saw Ignazio sitting behind her. The man was leaning forward, looking in her direction. His large hands slowly reached out and parted Olivia's hair."Awake now?" he asked again, touching Olivia's forehead with the back of his hand. "Thank goodness, your fev

    "What should I call you?" Olivia asked, confused."We're clearly not role-playing as master and servant, are we? You're my wife, so call me by an appropriate term." Ignazio commanded firmly.Olivia fell silent, her mind seemed to be contemplating the right way to address Ignazio. Not wanting the girl to daydream any longer, Ignazio suddenly bent his knees, causing Olivia's body to be pushed, and she screamed, unintentionally calling out "Zio!" loudly due to the surprise."I like that term." Ignazio replied with a smile on his face. "I like it when you call me Zio.""W-what?" Olivia asked, confused."I like it when you address me with the term Zio." he repeated, making Olivia wide-eyed and blush.Another decision they successfully made today was to choose a nickname."So, aren't you going to continue?" Ignazio asked, casting his gaze on th

    "M-Meaning?" Olivia asked, bewildered. Ignazio sat on the edge of the bed, smiling. "I mean, surrender yourself to me. Here, right now. I won't take your virginity, Olivia. You'll have to give it to me willingly," he said, still with his mischievous smile, leaving Olivia not only wide-eyed but struggling to swallow hard. "Surrender my virginity?" Olivia asked, confused. Ignazio nodded slowly. "I won't touch you, but you will touch me," he said with a sly smile. "Forget the conventional way where the husband usually takes the wife's virginity. This time, I want you to deflower yourself, with me," Ignazio continued. "B-But how?" Olivia asked, still confused. "I won't touch you, but you will touch me," he repeated, emphasizing his point. "Make love to me, in your own way," Ignazio continued softly. Hearing the word "make love" made Olivia's femininit

    The man glanced at Olivia briefly, weighing the decision he needed to make. He then closed all the documents on his computer screen, switched the screen to sleep mode, took his phone, and excused himself from Olivia.Olivia grinned to herself. At least there was someone who felt more nervous and dominated by Ignazio than she did.Taking another deep breath, Olivia approached the door and knocked softly. After waiting for ten seconds without receiving a response, Olivia finally opened the door and found the room empty.Where is Ignazio? She wondered to herself. It couldn't be that the secretary lied to her, right?Olivia glanced at the right side of the wall, where there was a door leading to a special recording room for Ignazio. To outsiders, it looked like a normal wall, but behind one of the bookshelves was an elevator that would take her up to Ignazio's secret chamber.Olivia entered the elevator and pressed the button to go up after taking a deep breath to calm her nerves.The lif

    OLIVIA STOOD right in front of the Kralligimiz building. Her head tilted upward as she gazed at the tall structure. It seemed like she had taken a deep breath and exhaled heavily several times. Now, standing in front of the building, her feet felt too heavy to take a step."This isn't right," she mumbled to herself while turning around, intending to walk towards the entrance gate. "But if not now, when else can I talk to Ignazio?" she questioned herself again, turning back to face the building."This is too impulsive," she continued, shaking her head and turning her body once more. "But I've traveled far enough to reach this office; I can't just leave without talking to Ignazio. They need to resolve this 'Papa's Wife' issue and reassure Gianna. Otherwise, Ilya might refuse to come home, especially since the little one's desire is strongly supported by Olivia's sister, Rianna.""If Gianna doesn't want to come back, just let her be. Luna is happy to have Gianna here. Recently, I can't a
