“Looking forward to our next meeting, my dear sister.”
Alessia glanced at the text on her phone, a cold, derisive snort escaping her lips.
“Funny. You never call‘dear’ in person. What a creep.”
“Lessie, what are you muttering about over there? Dinner’s ready!”
“Coming.” Alessia pocketed her phone without bothering to reply.
Late at night, when the house was silent and still, a young girl tossed and turned in her bed, her brow furrowed
as if trapped in the throes of an unsettling dream.
“Young master, this is the wine your father askedto bring back.”
“Put it in the cellar.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Wait.”
“Leave it here,” Max said, pointing to the table.
“Here?”
“Is there a problem?” Max raised an eyebrow. The assistant immediately shook his
head.
“No... no, sir.”
By the tfive-year-old Alessia woke up, tummy rumbling and searching for a snack, Max had already
uncorked the wine.
The deep red liquid swirled languidly in a crystal glass as Max took a casual sip, trying out the wine-tasting
techniques their etiquette tutor had taught-something he'd been curious about for a while.

“Max, what are you drinking?” Alessia’s tiny, childish voice made Max pause, an idea sparking in his mind.
“Grape juice.”
“Is it good?” Back then, Alessia was still so innocent. Despite Max's constant pranks, in this big, empty house
where their parents were rarely home, he was the only one she could talk to, the only person she trusted.

wrapped her chubby arms around his leg, refusing to let go, clinging like a determined little monkey. Max tried
shaking her off, but she wouldn't budge.
“You're lying. You always sneak drinks when I'm not looking.”
“You little rascal, looking for trouble, huh?”
“Lethave some!” Alessia’s bossy side showed through even at that age.
“Fine, fine, just let go. I'll pour you some.” Max, sounding long-suffering, gave in with a huff.
Finally releasing her grip, Alessia scrambled up onto her special chair, watching intently as Max poured the
tiniest bit into her little cup.
“Max, you're so stingy.” Alessia’s face fell when she saw how little was in the cup, and she glared at him
accusingly.
“For such a little gremlin, you sure have a big appetite.” Max teased, but poured her a little more, just to
appease her.
Alessia wanted to argue, but when Max looked like he'd take the cup back, she quickly shielded it with her pudgy
hands and gulped it down in a rush. She drank so fast she started coughing and sputtering, nearly choking on it.
Startled, Max patted her back and fumbled for snapkins, wiping her mouth.

“You're the one who insisted on trying it.”
“It... it itches... | don’t feel good...”
Max was still laughing when he noticed her face getting redder, her little hands frantically scratching at her
arms, her breathing growing strained.
