OLIVIA'S FAMILY

From childhood, everyone praised Fiona Hermstein, the eldest daughter of the Hermstein Family, as a talented and exceptional young woman, but no one knew that it was actually Olivia who was behind all the accomplishments.

"I experienced a lot of stress because I was really trying hard to get the right taste of coffee, which is suitable for most people. I know I haven't done enough, but I'm trying to discover other tastes that are suitable for children and adults."

Several relatives and personalities of the Hermstein family attended a dinner. After Fiona spoke, everyone applauded enthusiastically.

"Fiona my dear, in the business world, your own signatures are always there, first of all, hard work, patience and perseverance, just don't give up. You know, that's how I started with my fabric factory, even though it was small, but at least I was earning enough. I'm happy that you're one of the new ones who will succeed in our family." Mrs. Macaronie said, her aunt that marries two times with two business men in the town.

"Thank you mamita.." Fiona happily said.

"You are very welcome dear. I know someday you will be a successful woman in town"

"Thank you very much for coming here, I am just happy because I have a daugther who will have her own business, as parents we are not the only ones who should give advices and blessings, because I want you to be one of her guide to her success. I hope that our economy will continue to develop with the help of our creative idea's and works" Mr. Gilbert Hermstein the father of Olivia and Fiona and the head of the family. He is the third generations of Hermstein family who owned the business of Rice importation, locally and abroad. They also have a huge banana plantation in Davao City and Coconut Tree plantation in Surigao del Sur, that is found in the province of Mindanao.

However, some of the relatives here know a secret of Mr. Gilbert's family. His wife gave birth to twins but one of them died immediately at birth, due to the depression of her wife, Gilbert's mother Mrs. Francia made a way to find another baby to replace the deceased grandson, and that was Olivia.

The family love both of the children and they grew up in one roof. But it came to a point when Gilbert's wife found out that her mother-in-law preferred and being always favored to her granddaughter Olivia, so she started to resent her from her real daughter.

When the mother-in-law died, Fiona was separated from Olivia, all her good deeds and successes must be declared as Fiona's deeds. If not, Olivia will be thrown out of the house. All this is the will of Mr. Gilbert's wife. Fiona influenced her own mother's mind so she also has a grudge against Olivia, as for her, her sister is dead, and Olivia is just a made in their home. While Mr. Gilbert didn't know what's happening in his home, due to super busy schedules.

Fiona Hermstein completed her college education at a prestigious university in the city, while Olivia attended public colleges nearby. Initially, Mr. Gilbert had a strong reaction to the idea, but because Olivia was afraid of her mother, she suggested that she wanted to stay in her hometown to help with her mother's other responsibilities. The reality, however, was that Olivia was being treated like a maid whenever Mr. Gilbert wasn't around.

As a house maid, Olivia has more time to study her favorite taste in coffee. No one knows that she is creative in making different flavors of coffee. She gets the idea from the housekeepers, and to all people she encountered about how their tastes in juices or drinks like, and she imitates it when brewing coffee.

But Fiona found out her secret when she became one of the contestants of a famous coffee shop in town. The shop invited talented coffee makers to compete in front of customers, where she saw how good Olivia was at making coffee and even won the competition. Fiona is beautiful and smart but has become stupid because she is left out of Olivia's small successes.

Olivia shouldn't be successful, and she won't inherit the family fortune, so Fiona will do anything to make her disappear. One night, Fiona stole Olivia's pocket notes of procedures and ingredients. She then studied them and copied the signature, resulting in Olivia having ungrateful improvements, nothing in life, and still being treated as a maid.

It didn't take long for Olivia to find out that Fiona had taken her pocket notes. She found it in her room while removing the bed sheets. But instead of getting upset, she decided to let it go, all thanks to Marcus Valeroso, the guy who made her heart race.

Olivia has had a long-time crush on Marcus since high school days, so when he confessed his feelings, Olivia immediately believed him. By the time Fiona became successful in her business where she already had three branches of her coffee shop, Marcus was wooing Olivia, causing her to forget the pocket notes that Fiona had stolen. Fiona also showed support for Marcus' courtship of her, unbeknownst to Olivia, the two were just playing with her feelings.

In this second life, if time followed the same path, Olivia would never let Fiona and Marcus get away with their schemes again!

Olivia stared blankly at her fingers, suddenly feeling a strong desire to reclaim her skills and become the best coffee maker in town. But the thought of her strict husband made her head ache. How could she achieve her dreams and expose the lies of Fiona and Marcus, when she didn't even have her own freedom?

One morning, Olivia felt incredibly bored. So, she decided to take a stroll in the backyard. She had once fallen asleep in the garden, before because Tristan had a large lounge chair installed under a tree. The chair was padded with cushions, making it as soft as a bed.

In her past life, Olivia didn't appreciate this effort. She thought Tristan was just putting on a show. Influenced by her sister Fiona, she had caused a huge commotion in the garden, nearly setting the lounge chair. Lying on the lounge chair now, Olivia look at the sunflowers blooming towards the sun, Olivia suddenly felt inspired. She asked the maid to bring her some paper and a pen, and she began to re write the ingredients that she remember's for making a coffee de latte.

While Olivia was busy writing down her own ingredients and designing her own cup, she didn't know that Tristan was watching her from above. Tristan stood in front of a large window, his eyes deep and unreadable.

"What is she writing about?" Tristan asked in a calm tone, one hand in his pocket. His pupils barely trembled beneath his long lashes. He knew that she was so unusual yesterday. hopefully, she won't act up again today.

"Madam had her meals on time and then went to the lounge chair in the garden to write something, she said she want to be alone," Tristan's assistant reported respectfully, bending slightly as he spoke.

.

"That's it?" Tristan raised his voice in disbelief, turning to look at his assistant. It was clear he didn't believe it. "The news came directly from the housekeeper. They said Miss Olivia was like a different person today, very easygoing, no fuss at all" The assistant nodded firmly.

In the past, the news from of house s always something like, "Madam Olivia cooked the koi fish worth thousands in the backyard. Madam uprooted all the flowers in the front yard. Madam smashed the half-million peso antique in the living room..."

It got to the point where, whenever the housekeeper called, the assistant would grimace and ask, "What did that woman do today?"

However, Tristan Emerson couldn't help but recall what Olivia had said yesterday. "I won't divorce you, not now, not ever."
