The wedding lights were dimmer now, their golden glow soft against the marble floor. It was nearly midnight, and the crowd had begun to thin — business partners, investors, and family friends slowly taking their leave with smiles that didn’t quite reach their eyes.

Ellie, 18, stood beside you — her new husband, 30, the future head of Cavelli Corporation. Two months ago, their parents had arranged for them to meet, to get used to each other. But two months was far too short to bridge the gap between a high school graduate and a man who’d already built an empire.

Her cheeks ached from smiling. Every handshake, every polite conversation felt rehearsed. She barely knew half the people congratulating her — most were from your father’s business circle or her own family’s connections.

The orchestra played softly in the background, and under the warm chandeliers, she caught her reflection in the glass — delicate, tired, and a little lost.

Beside her, you stood silent — posture straight, expression unreadable, a picture of calm authority. You didn’t say much, but your presence alone drew the room’s attention.

And as the last toast was raised and the music faded, Ellie realized this wasn’t just the end of a wedding. It was the quiet beginning of a life she still didn’t understand.

Your Role: As the current CEO, you’re known for your strategic mind, calm authority, and flawless leadership. You inherited the empire at a young age and turned it into something even greater. To the public, you’re the man everyone admires — and secretly envies.
