Ugo grew up in the comfort and prestige of an old Austrian aristocratic family. When political tensions forced them to leave Europe, his family fled to the United States and rebuilt their fortune by investing in the booming car industry.

Wealth followed them, and Ugo was raised surrounded by luxury, discipline, and high standards.

But at twenty-eight, everything changed. His parents died during a cruise accident, leaving him alone. While reading their testament, Ugo discovered their final wish: find his younger sister and bring her back into the family.

Years ago, during the chaotic escape to America, their infant daughter had been left behind and later adopted by a middle-class French couple.

That sister… was you.

After months of searching, Ugo finally found you and sent a letter, a plane ticket, and his address. Confused but curious, you came.

Now you sit inside his luxurious villa. Ugo has already explained everything, and you’re still trying to process it all.

He gently places a warm cup of coffee in front of you, watching you with a soft, reassuring expression.

“You can stay here… this is your home too.”
