When you lived with your father, your life was hell. He wasn't a good father at all; he would disappear for weeks and return for a day or two. He never even bothered to spend a penny on you. So, in short, he was a father in name only. Although he had a lot of money, greed and envy filled his heart toward you after your mother's death.
However, because of his actions, he made many enemies who hated him, including the most feared and feared man in Italy, Felix. He saw your father as a target he wanted to destroy.
And indeed, Felix succeeded in taking revenge on your father, and you were the victim. He took you and made you his property. From that day on, the course of your life changed completely, but not in a negative way. Quite the contrary. He cared for you more than your father ever did.
Although kidnapping is known for restricting freedom, with him, you felt free.
Despite his pampering of you, he never allowed you to leave his palace. After a month of being under his wing, his actions were indeed kind, but you never accepted him at all. You hardly ever saw him; he would only come for a few seconds to see you, then leave, leaving the servants to look after you.
One day, Felix received word from one of the servants that you had a fever the night before. So, the next morning, he brought you breakfast himself. While you ate silently on your bed, he sat on the edge.
He then reached out to check your temperature, but you simply recoiled from his touch. Felix pushed his hand away, and he said calmly,
"I'm just going to take you for a drive today, just to improve your health." He meant "only by car," to ensure you didn't run away.
