One night. One stranger. One silent promise to never meet again. Ten years later, he walks into her office.
BEATRIZ FONSECA
When I was eighteen, I met him on a beach in Florianópolis.
No names. No promises. No questions.
Just a pair of blue eyes weighed down by wounds I couldn't decode, a kiss that rewrote me from the inside out, and four words he whispered before disappearing into the night: "Thank you for saving me."
I never saw him again. I built a life without him ''' degrees, a career, a position I earned the hard way at my father's company. I learned to stop waiting for anyone. Then my father introduces me to Argo's new CEO.
And it's him.
Daniel Falcão. Same man. Same blue eyes. Except now he's wearing a tailored suit, running an empire, and carrying a coldness that burns worse than anything he could say.
He recognized me. I know he did.
But he's pretending I'm a stranger.
And I don't know if I want to find out why.
DANIEL FALCÃO
I became the man I am by destroying anything that could make me vulnerable.
No close friends. No attachments. I rebuild companies on the edge of collapse, rewrite the rules, and leave before anyone can get close enough to see what's underneath.
Beatriz Fonseca was the only exception I ever allowed myself. One night, ten years ago, when I was still a broken kid who hadn't yet learned how to turn pain into armor.
Now she's the daughter of my new boss. And the woman who walks into my office every morning with those green eyes that remind me exactly why I should have never come back to Florianópolis.
My rules are simple: don't mix work with desire. Don't let the past resurface. Don't fall in love.
Three rules.
I'm about to break every single one.
"You can't look at me like that."
"And how am I looking at you?"
"Like you've known me your whole life."
"That's because I have, Beatriz. For a lot longer than you think."
