The city didn't just sleep; it seemed to hold its breath whenever he walked into a room. He was a man who had curated his life into a perfect gallery of successes: untouchable assets, fleeting connections, and the intoxicating freedom of answering to no one. Tonight, standing thirty floors above the glittering sprawl, he felt invincible. He was the master of his own untethered world, convinced that every risk he took was calculated, every outcome managed. He didn't know that thousands of miles away, a different kind of calculation had finished. It wasn't measured in currency, but in years lost and secrets kept. He didn't hear the storm approaching. It sat quietly in a sterile airport terminal, clutching a one-way ticket toward a stranger, carrying nothing but a backpack and a pair of eyes that mirrored his own. The king was about to be dethroned. And he wouldn't even see it coming.

The bell rang again. The pizzas had apparently arrived. "I'll get it!" Terence squealed and jumped on his feet. Taking large steps towards the door, he accidentally let a loud growl come from his tummy, only to be mocked by his best friend. "Oh, the beast is hungry!" Giving him a middle finger, Terence rolled his eyes giggling, and cut a corner to reach the door. Esteban waited patiently for the food to come by spending time on his phone, playing candy crush, even if he knew that would only last a few seconds. He was expecting the food to be on his door and Terence to take a while until he decided the tip he was going to leave. However, when Terence came back, he wasn't holding only pizza boxes and French fries like he was expecting. Instead, he was holding something that seemed to have terrified him and Esteban a lot. "I thought you ordered pizzas, not a baby" Terence mumbled shocked as he placed on the couch a cute basket with a baby inside. • • • _______________________________________________________ ⚠️ DISCLAIMER ⚠️ I don't own any of the photos! • • ENGLISH IS NOT MY MOTHER LANGUAGE, I'M SORRY FOR ANY GRAMMATICAL OR VOCABULARY MISTAKES! • • Please read 'Before You Read' in the first character chap!
