In recent times, life had turned in Leandro’s favor. The same people who once belittled him now sought his approval. His journey to the top had been tumultuous, but now he was in charge, answering to no one.

He took what he desired and dismissed the rest without a second thought. This included his pursuit of Seraphina. She was what he wanted, and he was determined to win her heart
