Intro. Alexander Knox was not a man who modified his schedule for domestic matters. He had married Elisa just three months before, in a private, elegant and perfectly calculated ceremony. She had three children: two older ones, aged twenty-nine and twenty-seven, already established. And the youngest, Dayana, twenty-four, living abroad. I had never seen her. I barely knew his name. When Elisa informed him that Dayana would be returning to New York for work and that she needed to be picked up from the university, Alexander felt a silent irritation. A tycoon like him had no time for trivial assignments. He guessed it was another scattered young woman, engaged in something unserious. Even so, he accepted. That afternoon, in front of the campus, impeccable in his dark suit, he waited with a closed expression. For him, that would be just a formality. Pick up his wife's youngest daughter. Nothing more.
