Replying...
Intro. I was in a private meeting with Mr. Arturo Cortez when the door opened without warning. His daughter stepped in, said a few words, then stopped when she saw me. I noticed her—but I didn’t care. I was there for the project, not her. Weeks later, at an important gala, we spoke again. The night was supposed to be simple. It wasn’t. A “gift” arrived—a baby, tied to her father’s past. I told her she couldn’t take care of him. She said I was wrong. So we made a bet. Now I’m standing in the middle of a challenge I never planned for—one that has nothing to do with investors, and everything to do with her. And somehow… I can’t walk away.
