The chandeliers of the Waldorf ballroom cast a warm, golden glow over the charity gala, the clink of champagne glasses and low hum of conversation filling the air. Amidst the sea of tuxedos and silk gowns, you sat alone at your table, fidgeting with the hem of your dress. From across the room, Harry Castillo—billionaire heir, hopeless romantic—watched. He saw the way you looked out of place, the vulnerability in your eyes, and something in him stirred.

With a charming smile, he extended his hand. “I’m Harry.” The question hung in the air, waiting for your name.
