HEARING OLIVIA'S VOICE, Mrs. Claire, who was walking behind her husband, turned around.

"What happened to Grandpa?" Olivia asked, worried as she approached quickly.

Mrs. Claire looked surprised. The woman in her early sixties seemed uneasy. Her eyes scanned the surroundings before answering. "Nothing, Antony is just tired," she replied, appearing a bit nervous.

The driver opened the back door, and the two sturdy men who helped carry Mr. Antony carefully seated him. Olivia couldn't see Mr. Antony's face because it was obstructed by the bodies of the burly men.

Olivia again observed Mrs. Claire, who circled the back of the car to enter through another door. Before getting into the car, she said, "Go back to the party. The event is not over." She commanded firmly and without saying anything more, entered the car, which immediately sped away.

Olivia remained frozen in place as she saw her stepbrother, Geremia, half-running toward the front of the hotel with his phone to his ear. The

    "How's Dad?" "Where's Geremia?" "How's Antony's condition?" Similar-toned questions almost simultaneously came from the Quirino family members. Instead of answering, Olivia became motionless and even stepped back to make way for the people who wanted to enter the treatment room. But once again, before anyone managed to open the door, it swung open, and Mrs. Claire emerged from the treatment room. "Your father is sleeping," she said more to her children. "Why are you all here? What about Meizar?" Mrs. Claire asked anxiously. "Don't worry. Rayyan, Elara, Luca, and Zello are with him," Gilang, Flavia's husband who was also Claire's twin brother, replied. "We made sure Meizar's happiness wasn't disturbed. He thought we came home because we were tired." "How is he?" Gladwin asked curiously. "At first, he fainted, but now he's sleeping because the doctor gave him medicine," Claire replied wearily. "I want to see Dad," Flavia requested, Antony's eldest daughter. Claire nodded and st

    "I am crazy!" "This doesn't make sense!" "What on earth! This is not a reasonable request!" Olivia hoped to hear those sentences from the people around her. Unfortunately, what she heard was silence. A rather long silence. As if everyone was immersed in their own thoughts. "If that's the case, just do it." Francisca said, causing Olivia to jerk up from her seat and look at the woman in confusion. "Francisca!" A shout came from Falisha. Olivia and several others now shifted their attention to Falisha. "That's not a bad idea." She said, surprising everyone. Because honestly, Olivia thought the woman would reject Francisca's statement, but she actually smiled and nodded. "Fali!" Now Mr. Altezza addressed his eldest daughter. "What's the matter, Pa?" Falisha looked at her father and asked in a more polite tone. "What Uncle wants is reasonable. What part of it is irrational?" She asked for an answer from her father. "Uncle Antony wants Olivia and Ignazio to get married, that's logic

    "We all here know what sins and even scandals we've committed in the past. So don't be offended if I bring this up." Gladwin's statement received a silent response from everyone, and he took it as agreement. "Antony is acting like this because he feels regret. He doesn't want the mistakes of the past to repeat. He doesn't want Gianna to experience the same thing Flavia went through." Gladwin's words made everyone now turn to look at Flavia, who happened to open the door to the care room. "Ignazio and Antony made the same mistake, that is, both abandoned their daughters. And Antony thinks he can redeem Ignazio's mistake by doing the same thing he did in the past, which is to give Gianna a mother. "But Antony didn't consider further that everything—the reasons why Ignazio left Gianna, Gianna's mental state, and the solution Gianna needs—it's different from the way he dealt with Flavia. "Yes, Antony left Flavia when she was still young. Entrusted Flavia's upbringing to her parents, j

    OLIVIA LOOKED AT IGNAZIO with an incredulous gaze. She demanded an explanation from the man without uttering a word, but Ignazio completely ignored her. "So, when will the wedding take place?" Ignazio asked more directed at his mother. His mother rose from her seat and wiped her tears roughly. "Who said I would allow Olivia to marry you?!" Mr. Altezza asked harshly, making the atmosphere in the room even more tense. "I don't need Uncle's permission to marry Olivia. She doesn't need Uncle to be her guardian because she's an orphan, isn't she?" Ignazio asked harshly, challenging his uncle, which left Altezza silent, whether consciously or not, Ignazio's words also hurt Olivia. They reminded Olivia of who she truly was. Even though Mr. Altezza referred to her as 'my daughter,' she remained an outsider brought in. "That doesn't change the fact that she is under my protection now," Mr. Altezza insisted. "So, do I have to reveal our secrets here first before Uncle will allow us to marr

    Olivia fell silent and looked at Geremia with confusion. "I don't need to know about the 'scandal' Ignazio mentioned last night. I just want to know if you did something that offended him. "Something must have happened between you two for his ego to be hurt so badly," he continued with an investigative look. At first, Olivia looked at her foster brother, but then she averted her gaze. Honestly, she didn't know what caused Ignazio to be angry with her; all she knew was that she was frightened by his expression last night. "I've known Ignazio since we were babies. Although everyone thinks Ignazio changed since Gretta died, his basic nature is still there. "A person's character doesn't change so drastically in a short time. "There's an issue between you two that not everyone knows, isn't there?" Geremia asked accusingly, accompanied by a sharp gaze at Olivia. Olivia just lowered her head. "I saw Ignazio's ego hurt last night," he continued. "Ignazio is a caring type of guy, even t

    THE WEDDING IS UNDERWAY. In the morning, Olivia was picked up by the family car and then taken to the hospital where Mr. Antony was being treated. Yes, Olivia and Ignazio's wedding was going to take place at the hospital, in a simple ceremony attended only by family members. As discussed earlier, Olivia and Ignazio's marriage would be conducted privately before being officially registered later. Or perhaps it had already been registered, Olivia didn't know. Until Olivia was picked up, her foster parents didn't say much. Olivia knew that her foster father still hadn't given his blessing for Ignazio to propose to her. But Olivia thought that he was doing all of this for the good of everyone, for the well-being of her foster father. Because Olivia was convinced that deep down, her foster father wanted Mr. Antony to recover. After briefly checking on Mr. Antony, Olivia was led to one of the bedrooms in that white room. There, Francisca and her makeup equipment were already scattered on

    After an unknown amount of time passed, the door to the room was suddenly knocked, and someone walked in. Olivia turned her body and saw her foster mother approaching, showing her usual warm smile. How was it possible that her eyes could always provide shade and make Olivia comfortable even when she was troubled? Olivia remembered their conversation a while ago. "Remember, this marriage happens not only because of fate but because of choice. The choice you and Ignazio made. No marriage is easy, Olivia. Whether it happens with or without love. Whatever problems arise in the future, after you officially become husband and wife, you have to share everything." Her advice was more or less the same as Francisca's. "Don't burden yourself if you have problems. Ignazio has to know what you feel, what you want, and what you need, and vice versa. You have to be able to share everything—body, feelings, thoughts. Hopefully, in the future, your marriage, even if problems arise, you'll be able to

    Ignazio stood with an uncertain feeling. He had been restless all night thinking about his marriage to Olivia. This wasn't his first marriage, but he couldn't deny feeling nervous. In the morning, his two cousins had come to pick him up, expressing their fear that Ignazio might change his mind at the last moment and choose to run away before the wedding took place. Crazy. Their thoughts were so random. If Ignazio really wanted to run, why didn't he do it days ago? He thought cynically. He was more than ready to face this marriage, especially considering the revenge he would exact on Olivia afterward, making a sly smile linger on his face. Ignazio leisurely took a shower, not rushing despite his cousins urging him to do so. Nevertheless, even though this wedding would be a simple affair, Ignazio still wanted to look perfect. As he stepped into the walk-in closet, he was surprised to find Xaverio and Luca there, invading his private space and teasing him by whistling when they saw hi

    "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
