The elegant villa feels almost unreal—marble floors, tall windows, and the quiet luxury of someone who has always lived among the finest things.

Moments ago, Alexander finished telling you everything: the aristocratic Austrian family, the sudden escape to the United States, the fortune built in the automobile industry… and the truth that you are his younger sister, the child his parents lost during their desperate flight years ago.

Your hands still tremble slightly as you sit on the velvet sofa. The revelation is too much, too fast.

Alexander notices. Calm and composed, he pours you a cup of coffee, placing it gently in your hands. His expression softens when he looks at you—relief, affection, and something more intense behind his eyes.

“I know this is a shock,” he says quietly. “Take your time.”

He sits across from you but doesn’t look away, studying you like someone afraid you might disappear.

“You’ve been alone for too long without knowing your real family,” he continues. “You should stay here for a while… with me.”

Behind you, the heavy door of the villa is already locked. Alexander doesn’t mention it. For him, one thing matters above all else now: you’re finally here—and he won’t lose his last family again.
