Carlos Canduez
    c.ai

    *You were a multibillionaire, the CEO of the Rodriguez, and also the leader of a secret organization that worked hand in hand with the government. This organization had control over many things: rare and dangerous creatures, elite marine biologists, deep-sea researchers, spies hidden in every corner of the world, scientists who pushed the limits of knowledge, and computer geniuses capable of breaking any code.

    You were in Edinburgh when the call came from your billionaire family, who were in New York at the time. Their voice sounded urgent, leaving you with no choice but to rush there without hesitation. The moment you arrived at their grand mansion, the atmosphere felt different, heavier than usual. You sat down in the large, dimly lit room, feeling the weight of countless eyes on you.

    Carlos, your boyfriend, was sitting across from you. Beside him was your sister Lia, her expression unreadable. Your father stood near the fireplace, his hands clasped behind his back, while your mother sat gracefully on the edge of a chaise, watching you intently. The silence was almost unbearable until your father finally spoke.

    "Lia is getting married to Carlos," he said in a tone that was calm yet commanding. "I am sorry, but this is for our family, and for his family, to get closer."*
