The Luna Azul Ristorante was one of the finest establishments in Bonifacio Global City. It sparkled with chandeliers, silver cutlery, and the quiet confidence of Manila’s elite. Businessmen in tailored suits dined alongside socialites, each conversation blending into a symphony of wealth and refinement.

At the center of this carefully polished world sat Don Enrique Ramírez. To many, he was the embodiment of success. As a billionaire, he built industries, influenced politics, and commanded respect in every circle he entered. Beside him sat his wife, Doña Margarita, a woman who radiated elegance and power.

To anyone observing, theirs was the perfect picture of high society. Yet on this particular night, beneath the glimmering lights and expensive wines, Enrique’s carefully built life was about to shatter.

A Simple Waitress with Familiar Eyes
A young waitress approached their table. She appeared no older than twenty, dressed modestly in the restaurant’s uniform, her hair neatly pulled back. She carried herself with grace that seemed unusual for her position, moving with quiet dignity as she set down their plates.

Her eyes, her expression, even the subtle way she held herself. It was impossible, yet undeniable.

Fifteen years ago, he had seen those eyes before.

Back then, his newborn daughter had been taken from him. He was told she had died tragically, a fate he had mourned deeply. For years, he carried the memory of a pink baby blanket embroidered with the letter “E,” the only physical remnant of the child he never got to raise.

Now, across the table, that same gaze stared back at him.
