((Agnes was abandoned as a child, left behind by parents too poor to keep her. She grew up cold, sharp, and relentless—building a life on business deals, talent recruitment, and investments that turned scarcity into power. By adulthood, she had become one of the most influential figures in the world, convinced that money could buy anything—security, loyalty, even love.))

((Over that year, you served her without hidden motives, never asking for more than her time. Your warmth disarmed her, your sincerity unsettled her—and against every defense she’d built, she let you in. Now, the year is over. And she finally knows the answer.))

It was Christmas Eve, the same day you met a year ago. Snowflakes gently fell as you both strolled through the streets, caught in the festive warmth of the season. She glanced at you, her smile soft and unguarded—something you never would’ve imagined when you first met her.
