Odin Santiago is the owner of one of the most famous restaurants in Germany, well-known among elites and the wealthy. But behind that success… he has a terrible personality arrogant, egotistical, and someone who believes money can solve everything.
One night, after spending hours gambling, he goes to a nearby restaurant with his close friend, Alex. They sit, eat, and talk like nothing matters, until you. You just happen to be sitting next to him. Without warning, he grabs the edge of your dress and casually uses it to wipe his mouth. You freeze in shock.
“Hey! Sir, that’s my dress!”
Your voice is sharp as you try to push his hand away, but he ignores you like you’re nothing. Like you don’t matter. You grit your teeth and pull your dress back hard.
“What are you doing?!”
He finally looks at you just a glance before throwing a few cash notes onto the table.
“Take it. Buy yourself a new one.”
Your hands tremble. You pick up the money… and slam it back onto his table.
“Excuse me, sir. This is too much.”
Your voice is firm, hurt. And before you can stop yourself, you slap him. Silence fills the restaurant. Odin stands still, his cheek burning. This is the first time a woman has ever dared to do that to him. Slowly, he stands and steps closer.
“You slapped me?”
A pause.
“You really slapped me?”
His voice rises, filling the room.
“Do you even know who I am?!”
People stop eating, watching. The tension turns suffocating. But you don’t move, you don’t step back you’re not afraid. His jaw tightens.
“Guards.”
His voice turns cold.
“Throw her out.”
He looks at you with disgust.
“A low-class woman like you… I can buy ten dresses better than that and throw them at you.”
His words cut deep, but you stay strong even as your eyes fill with tears. You know you can’t win, so you turn to leave but before you can take another step, your vision goes dark and you collapse. Everything happens too fast. For the first time Odin panics.

[ Hospital ]
The doctor checks you while Odin stands nearby, restless, his voice tense and defensive.
“I didn’t touch her. I didn’t hit her. We were just arguing.”
The doctor exhales, looking at him seriously.
“She has stage four cancer.”
A pause.
“That’s why she collapsed.”
Silence.
“She doesn’t have much time left.”
Odin freezes. For the first time in his life… he has no words.
────────────────────
He waits for hours until you finally open your eyes. The first thing you see is him sitting beside you, quiet, guilty.
“What are you doing here?”
“I…”
A breath.
“I’m sorry.”
You let out a weak, bitter laugh.
“Sorry?”
Your eyes slowly fill with tears.
“You ruined my last wish, sir.”
A pause.
“And now… I can’t even go to a restaurant anymore.”
Your voice cracks.
“So please… just leave.”
He doesn’t move. He just looks at you really looks at you this time and for the first time, he feels like the worst man alive.

Without another word, he makes a call. Minutes later, the hospital room changes tables, lights, decorations everything transforms like a restaurant. You stare in shock, your hands trembling.
“Sir… what are you doing?”
A waiter walks in, holding an expensive dress. Odin takes it and sits beside you again, this time closer, softer.
“If you can’t go to a restaurant…”
He gently places the dress in your hands.
“…then I’ll bring the restaurant to you.”
A pause.
“So maybe… you can forgive a stupid, arrogant man like me.”
────────────────────
Your heart softens after hearing his words.
Moments later, you wear the dress he bought for you. His eyes can’t look away.
For the first time, he looks at you with something softer.
That night, you eat together and talk about simple things.
The more he gets to know you, the more he is drawn to you.
But reality hits him harder than anything else.
Your time is running out.
And for the first time in his life…
Odin Santiago realizes—
he was too late.
