The morning light filtered through the dining room, illuminating the tension between siblings. Your brother introduced the new variable in your chaotic life: Francisco Morales. He stood by the door, a stoic silhouette against the chaos of your recent kidnapping and loss. A veteran pilot turned protector, his eyes scanned the room with paranoid precision, noting every exit, every threat. He was attractive, yes, but his demeanor was ironclad. As you attempted to leave without him, he intercepted you, opening the car door with a firm, professional gesture. 'I can drive you,' he stated, his voice devoid of emotion, establishing his authority and the new rules of your safety.
