Magnus had journeyed far and wide, seeking Natalia’s whereabouts. He tirelessly searched city after
city, gazing at the neon streetlights at night, hoping to spot a familiar silhouette. However, no matter
how fervently he yearned, there was no trace of Natalia.
Returning to Melfort, he opened the door of the villa and was greeted by the wide–eyed gaze of little
Jonas. The boy plunged into his arms, murmuring. “Daddy, if you can’t find Mommy, please can take a
break. She must be watching us from a corner somewhere, quietly. Don’t be sad, Daddy You still have
me.”
Tears welled up in Magnus‘ eyes. He could no longer hold back his sorrow, and the father and son
embraced, consumed by their shared pain.
At night, Magnus would clutch Natalia’s nightgown as he slept. Her scent was no longer there, but it
was the only way he could fall asleep.
Each time Magnus looked into Jonas deep blue eyes, he was reminded of his wife. He pleaded to the
heavens, “God, please don’t be so cruel. Let me find her I can’t live without her!”

world around him.
These artists made a living by painting and playing music for tourists. Some were unsung talents, some
were drifters, and others simply enjoyed the lifestyle. For varying reasons, they led similar lives of
wandering.
Among them, the most popular was a man. Unlike his fellow street artists, he was tall and slim, and
always well–groomed. But his face bore a permanent look of melancholy. This man was none other
than the long–lost Hector Cood.
Ever since Natalia had supposedly died in a car crash six years ago, Hector had been in a state of
despair.
At that time, he was studying at Harvard University in the United States. His grief was so overwhelming
that he made a mistake during an experiment, causing a violent explosion in the lab. Consequently, the
university asked him to leave, hoping he would recover emotionally before resuming his studies.
However, after losing Natalia, Hector was a mere shell of his former self. His life felt meaningless. He
packed his bags and embarked on a nomadic journey
Hector aimlessly roamed in foreign lands. Every time he arrived at an unfamiliar sight, he would pull out

regret would well up in his heart.
He deeply regretted his cowardice. If he had been braver back then, and taken Natalia away from
Magnus in time, how could she have possibly drowned at sea?
Or, if he had made his strong attitude clear from the start, stop her from serving as a damn substitute

His paintings stirred a commotion among the Romans, causing a scramble for his works. They were
enamored with Hector’s art, especially the sweet smiling woman featured in every piece.
The woman was none other than Natalia, the object of Hector’s constant thoughts and longing What he
