"Someone wants to see you, Miss Carlotta." Aunt Valentina approaches Carlotta who is cooking soup for a children's lunch at the orphanage.

Carlotta's eyes were still the result of crying all night. His clothes are dirty stained with food. Her hair is a bit wrinkled. However, his heart was pounding hard. No one knows he's here. How could there be a guest for him?

"Who, Auntie? Is Alessandro?"

Aunt Valentina shook her head sadly. "We have not received the latest news about Alessandro's condition until now. Your guest today is named Giacomo."

Carlotta's eyebrows are linked. The name was not foreign, but he did not remember it. "Giacomo?"

Aunt Valentina nodded. "He said his name was Giacomo Marinelli."

Then Carlotta remembered everything. Giacomo. Is correct. That's his brother's name. His father had an illegitimate child before he was born. The boy used to be so similar to his father. His father's version is mini. Carlotta couldn't have forgotten the boy. Her crying used to make Carlotta's heart ache. He was so sad and devastated to learn that he had an older brother who lived a difficult life on the streets.

Carlotta had been preparing to meet someone shabby and seedy. However, when faced directly with the brother, apparently Carlotta was the shabby and seedy.

His sister stood so tall, with a large body full of muscles, and a shiny expensive motorized jacket suit. His face was clean and very similar to Carlotta, the male version. Her hair was lustrous healthy, curled into macho spikes on top of her head. His smile was as sweet as Carlotta remembered.

"Sister Gio..." Carlotta has been through a lot lately, so that when there is something as small as anything, the woman becomes easy to cry.

Giacomo spread out his arms, and without being asked twice, Carlotta immediately entered in his arms and cried there. "Oh, Oh my God. It's been a long time since we last met!" Carlotta exclaimed cheerfully.

Giacomo. His carlotta was still the warmest person as he was as a child. "How are you?"

Carlotta let go of Giacomo's embrace and wiped her tears. He showed off his stomach proudly. "You'll have a nephew soon."

Giacomo. The man stroked Carlotta's hair affectionately. "May I touch it?"

"Can."

Giacomo placed his hand on Carlotta's stomach. "It contains a baby, huh? It's amazing."

Carlotta nodded. "I also feel so every time."

"A long time ago we did not meet. What if we go out for a while and chat in a tavern. Is there something you want to eat?" Giacomo did not want to offend Carlotta by saying he was too thin. However, his sister's condition did look miserable. Those pretty eyes looked withered. Face pale. That woman looks tired.

It seems like the news of Alessandro Ferrara's single accident affecting his younger brother is more powerful than Gio expected.

"Can you wait? I have to prepare food for the kids first. They're starving, too." Carlotta smiled faintly.

"I'll buy them all the food and send them here. Please don't worry about anything today and go breathe some fresh air with me. Yea?" Gio rubbed Carlotta's hair gently, as if Carlotta was seven years old.

For Giacomo, Carlotta will always be the little sister he has to protect. 

"You're really gonna do that?" Carlotta looked unsure.

Giacomo laughed amusedly. "Don't you believe your brother's been a successful man now?"

Carlotta nodded quickly. "That's not what I mean... Feeding the children is my job. I don't want to burden you."

Giacomo looked at Carlotta deeply. "You're a good girl."

Carlotta smile. "I'm glad you think I do."

Carlotta laughed. "He wasn't even born yet."

Giacomo pretended to pout. "But we must pay attention to his nutrition long before he is born. Didn't you?"

Carlotta could not argue.

"When was the last time you ate?" Giacomo asked again.

Carlotta shakes. "I don't remember."

"Oh my God." Giacomo held his own chest in a dramatic manner. "You must be mean to my niece!"

"No! How could I be?" Carlotta protested loudly.

Giacomo laughing. Now, he embraces Carlotta and takes the girl away from there. "Then, we'll feed my niece a delicious and nutritious meal today."

Gio takes Carlotta to a tavern on the outskirts of Verona. Gio guessed that his sister did not know that her beautiful face was plastered on the front page of the gossip tabloid, so Carlotta did not really care if anyone recognized her.

But Gio cares. He chose a fairly quiet and secluded shop, reasoned the cuisine there was amazingly delicious. Gio actually ordered a lot of food for Carlotta and forced the younger woman to eat it all.

When Carlotta finished eating, Gio just started a conversation. "I saw you on the front page of a gossip tabloid."

Carlotta. "really? Is that news about my resignation from Princess Gaia's movie?"

Gio shakes. His face showed seriousness. "It was about your pregnancy. You and Alessandro Ferrara adorn the front cover with a big picture."

"Oh, jeez!" Carlotta was surprised. "They hooked me up with him? B-but how is that possible?"

"You were seen together on the street near Juliet's house." Giacomo informed.

Carlotta suspects that there were paparazzi taking pictures during their accidental meeting a few days ago.

"Ferrara's side didn't take the news out of the media?" Carlotta asked.

Giacomo. "It looks like they're focusing on something else. You... have you heard the news of Alessandro Ferrara's accident?"

Carlotta nodded slowly.

Giacomo watched his sister closely. "How do you feel when you hear it?"

Carlotta did not expect to get the question, but she would not give a lie to her brother. He started crying again. "It felt like being pushed into a ravine. I'm really scared. I-I never expected him to be wretched."

"Of course." Gio said confidently. Carlotta has an angelic heart. The attitude of protecting others has been in him since childhood, where might he have the intention to harm others?

"I-I feel like I'm going to die. Closer to death than when, you know, when I was trying to drown myself in a bathtub." Carlotta said very slowly, so that Giacomo would not be surprised. However, her brother said nothing. So, he continued. "Alessandro and I used to be in a relationship. We were apart for almost ten years before she met me the night before."

"What happens when you meet? What did he do to you?" Gio asked. The tone was so calm, that Carlotta felt safe to tell a story.

"He..make me. The next morning when I woke up, I couldn't think. I don't think long. I forgot that I still had the responsibility of raising my sisters. You remember Ciara and Carina?"

Giacomo. "Yes, I remember."

"I didn't think of them that morning. What's in my brain is that I've become a filthy, worthless woman. I hated Alessandro so much at the time, but I hated myself even more who loved him no matter what he did to me." Carlotta continued.

"And this pregnancy of yours..What was the result of her actions that night?" Gio asked probing.

"Yes." Yeah."

Gio's hands clenched firmly on the sides of his body, but Carlotta was unaware of that. Gio's anger rose and was ready to explode. Gio once killed people, and would not hesitate to do it again to protect the honor of his beloved sister.
