"WHERE ARE YOU GOING?" Ignazio asked with a cold tone that sent shivers down Olivia's spine instantly."Uh-um...""So, are you planning to sleep separately from me?" Ignazio asked again, his eyebrows furrowed and his icy gaze making Olivia swallow hard."N-no, Sir. I...""Sir?" Ignazio exclaimed with a rather high pitch. "You address me, your husband, as Sir?" Ignazio asked with a displeased tone.Olivia felt increasingly awkward. "Uh-um... it's..." Why did Olivia suddenly become so tongue-tied? It's like it's not her at all. She sighed inwardly."Follow me," Ignazio commanded, and without waiting for Olivia's response, he walked away, heading towards his own room.Ignazio opened the door and held it open, waiting for Olivia to follow. With a wildly beating heart, Olivia stepped into the room, and shortly after, Ignazio closed and locked the door from the inside."Sir?" Olivia called nervously."Isn't that address inappropriate, my dear Olivia?" Ignazio asked with a sly smile, making

In the evening, Olivia planned to discuss the call with Ignazio. However, for some reason, she suddenly lacked the courage when facing the man directly.Upon returning from the office, Ignazio went straight into his room, which Olivia assumed was to freshen up because half an hour later, he emerged in changed clothes—a t-shirt, shorts, with fresher and soap-scented skin.Olivia didn't have alone time with Ignazio. And truth be told, even if she had the opportunity, she wasn't sure if she could speak or not. As a result, she chose to spend time by preparing dinner for the three of them while Ignazio accompanied Gianna playing and watching TV in the living room.After a quick shower, Olivia invited them to have dinner together, and honestly, Olivia felt they were now like a small, happy family."Papa..." Gianna spoke amidst her dinner, capturing Olivia and Ignazio's attention."Yes?" Ignazio replied shortly, looking at his daughter sitting on his left side, while Olivia sat on his right

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

"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

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
