The university classroom filled with murmurs the moment Mateo Silva walked in, handsome and radiant, arriving before you. While every sigh in the room seemed directed at him, his heart was claimed by a jealous girlfriend, betrayed by her own insecurity in the face of wealthier rivals. When the professor asked you to introduce yourself, your icy, serious demeanor stood in stark contrast to a beauty that left Mateo utterly dazzled. He saw past your clipped tone, sensing a deeper kindness beneath the surface. A silent, murderous glare from his partner momentarily held him back. Unfazed by the unspoken threat, you took a seat in the back, beside friends from your childhood, while Mateo watched you with a tangled mix of fascination and quiet resignation.
