Don't have to be Perfect
Chapter 19Maria’s expression softened, and she gave a small shake of her head. “You don’t need me to teach you how to act poor, Andrea. You’ve lived that life, longer than most in this house could even imagine. What you need… is to learn how to work like someone who wants to keep that job.”Andrea leaned forward, curiosity flickering in his eyes. “What do you mean by that?”Maria folded her arms across the table. “Internships are tests. No one expects you to be perfect, but they will watch how you handle pressure. They’ll test how quickly you learn, how well you follow orders, and most of all, whether you can swallow your pride. The moment you act like you’re above the work, they’ll write you off.”Andrea frowned slightly. “So I should keep my head down and just… obey?”“Not just obey,” Maria corrected, her tone firm but encouraging. “You should listen. Pay attention to the smallest details. When they assign you a task, even if it’s something menial—fetching files, organizing shelves
Trust yourself
Chapter 17Andrea moved through the estate quietly, his steps light, careful not to draw attention. He slipped past servants carrying trays, pausing at doorways and corridors where he could see without being seen.In the study, Anastasia sat behind a large desk piled with neatly stacked documents. Her quill scratched across the paper, the sound crisp in the quiet room. A maid hovered nearby, waiting for instructions.“Not that one,” Anastasia said firmly, sliding a sheet back toward the maid. “File it under expenses for the vineyard. And make sure the shipment report is signed by tomorrow. If it isn’t, we’ll be delayed another week, and I won’t tolerate that.”“Yes, my lady,” the maid answered quickly, hurrying away with the papers.Andrea lingered by the doorframe, watching. Her tone was sharp, but not unkind—commanding, yet fair. She took a sip of tea, then muttered to herself, “If only Chloe would double-check the ledgers as often as she checks the storerooms…”Suppressing a smile,
Anger
Chapter 16Sophia Pace paced back and forth across the hospital room like a restless lioness trapped in a cage. Her heels clicked sharply against the tiled floor, echoing her rage, while Nicholai sat silently in the corner, his eyes following her every move without daring to utter a word.“How could he cheat on me? After everything I’ve done for him!” Her voice trembled with fury, yet there was a bitter edge of heartbreak hidden beneath it. She stopped abruptly, clutching her chest as if Andrea’s betrayal had physically torn her apart. “Divorce me and run away with another woman? Is she even richer than me? Prettier? What could she possibly give him that I haven’t already given?”Her words spilled out like venom, but the more she spoke, the more fragile she became. “I thought Andrea couldn’t survive without me… I thought I was his world.” Her gaze shifted, wild and unfocused, until it landed on the hospital window. She rushed over, yanking the curtains aside, staring out at the dull c
Happiness
Chapter 15Chloe, who had been listening quietly with her chin tilted ever so slightly, finally spoke. Her voice was calm but carried an edge that cut through the air. “She doesn’t worth it, or you don’t want us to mess with the woman you still love?”Andrea’s eyes flicked to her instantly, caught between irritation and pain. His chest tightened as old memories came rushing back—the promises, the betrayals, the way Sofia had once made him believe in forever, only to rip it all away. He swallowed hard, then forced himself to answer.“I once loved her,” he admitted, his tone raw, almost broken. “But not anymore. That woman… she killed whatever love was left in me. There’s nothing to protect. Nothing to fight for.”Anastasia clenched her fists, her anger simmering like fire under glass. “Good. Because if she dares come near you again, she’ll answer to me. I don’t care who she thinks she is.”Chloe, in contrast, studied Andrea carefully. Her expression was unreadable, but her eyes softene
Chapter 14
“You look nervous,” Maria said softly, her voice filled with warmth. “You don’t need to be. Your sisters are all excited to finally meet their lost brother.”Andrea forced a smile and nodded, though his heart raced. It still felt surreal—like he was trapped inside a dream he didn’t want to wake up from. For so long, he had thought he was alone in this world. Now, suddenly, he had three sisters and parents who weren’t just wealthy, but powerful beyond imagination.Maria reached out and squeezed his hand gently. “Your parents have already taken care of us. We’ve each received our share of the properties—they made sure we were settled. We already own estates and businesses worth millions.” She paused, her eyes gleaming as if she couldn’t believe it herself. “But the remaining properties… all of that is for you. You alone.”Her words sank into Andrea slowly, almost painfully, like his mind was refusing to accept them. All for me? Why me?Maria continued to coach him, talking about staying
Perfect
Chapter 13Nikolas had been in a foul mood ever since Sofia’s mother visited that morning. He had lingered close enough to overhear their conversation, every word cutting into him like a double-edged sword—especially the part about him.Still, his emotions warred. On one hand, relief—Andrea was gone from the villa, finally divorced from Sofia. On the other, bitterness—because even in leaving, Andrea’s shadow still hovered between them.Nikolas glanced at his phone for what felt like the hundredth time, scrolling to the message he’d sent Andrea the night before. No reply. Not even a single word.He scoffed under his breath. He really doesn’t care? Fine. Let him stay gone. He better not think of coming back.A soft knock on his door jolted him.“Nikolas?” Sofia’s voice floated from the other side.Quickly, he shifted. The frown melted from his face, replaced with the fragile mask of a sick boy. He stood, dragging one leg slightly as he limped toward the door. When he opened it, Sofia wa
