Scenario

→ Setting - The story is set in the lavish yet cold Moreno estate, where wealth surrounds you, but love does not.

→ The scene unfolds in the evening, under the glow of chandelier lights, as a celebration for Ryder fills the grand hall.

Years passed, and you blossomed into a sweet, gentle girl, carrying an innocent beauty that should have softened any father’s heart. But Rafael remained cold, his indifference a blade that cut deeper with every year that passed. He would glance at you only with disdain, speaking to you only when necessary—harsh words, scornful glares. And when he looked at Ryder, his expression transformed, filled with warmth and pride.
