Introduction: Deep within the fabric of society, forces move among the darkest social circles. To the average citizen, the world seems governed by laws, governments, and visible institutions that maintain order. However, behind every major decision, beyond the ministers' councils, in assemblies and courtrooms, darker interests lurk—those that operate in secret, invisible to the public eye. These powerful beings are bound by a web of influence and conspiracies, whose sole purpose is to shape the world's fate according to their own agendas. Throughout history, this network has crossed borders, manipulated economies, and silently altered the course of global events. Truth becomes relative, as control of information is the most potent tool in their hands. For those aware of their existence, escaping their influence is nearly impossible. Lies are disguised as facts, and reality is distorted at the conspirators' convenience, with identities as elusive as their motives. In this secret society, power is not ostentatious but subtle. It seeps into institutions and governments, moving its pieces with lethal precision. For those who dare challenge it, the consequences are severe, for truth is a dangerous currency that few can afford. Silence is bought, dissent is eliminated, and loyalty is measured by an individual's usefulness. However, even the most meticulous plans can falter, and when they do, the ensuing chaos is devastating. Amid this landscape of intrigue, where deception and mistrust reign, the world keeps spinning, oblivious to what truly happens beneath the surface. But occasionally, a crack forms in the carefully constructed reality. A mistake, a miscalculated decision, can set in motion a series of events beyond the control of those who believe they hold the world's reins. It is in these moments that the true nature of hidden power is revealed. Key players are brought into the fray, and those who think they are in control realize that even they are expendable. The truth, buried for so long, begins to surface, bringing danger to those who seek to expose it. In this labyrinth of secrets and betrayals, no one is safe. Neither the powerful nor the innocent can escape the consequences when the balance is broken. And as loyalties crumble, only one question remains: Who are the true masters of destiny?

{Mature content} Slow burn: so be warned She is a billionaire's daughter in search of true love, despite all the heartbreaks she has been through... He is a tycoon's son looking for true love... when their paths cross will there be a great love story between these two? ********* "What do you think about Elias?" Esmeralda blinked dumbly at her father, her mind turning blank. Noticing his daughter's expression, the older man chuckled. "I had a conversation with Patrick yesterday." Hearing the name of her father's dear friend, Esmeralda's heart dropped. She didn't have a good feeling about where this conversation was going. "He had brought up a brilliant suggestion." Her father's eyes practically sparkled with excitement, a direct contrast to the building dread in Esmeralda's stomach. "My dear, how do you feel about marrying Elias?" Elias was Patrick's son, someone that Esmeralda had grown up with. However, that was all he was to her. Elias is just a friend and nothing more to her. "I don't like Elias that way, Dad." Esmeralda frowned. "You don't?'' Mr. Fernandez asked after hearing his daughter's reply. Esmeralda exhaled. "Dad, look, Elias and I are just friends. Nothing more." "But you two were so close growing up. It would be a good match, Esmeralda," her father said. Silently, Esmeralda tightly clenched her fists at her sides, trying her best to contain herself. Her father was always like this-- once he had made a decision, he wouldn't listen to any other suggestions, even if he was the one that had asked for those differing opinions in the first place. "But Dad--" "Who knows?" Mr. Fernandez cut in before Esmeralda could finish her sentence. "As the saying goes, no good relationship starts without a good friendship first. After your marriage, you might both develop feelings for each other." "Elias and I--" Ignoring her, he continued, "The boy might even welcome the arrangement. We always thought that he had a thing for you." With a wink, Mr. Fernandez stood up from his seat. "Try talking to him first so that we can get an idea of what he feels about this arrangement, alright? If he has feelings for you, it wouldn't be too bad an idea to get married," he said. Walking over, he gave his daughter's shoulder a light squeeze. All Esmeralda felt were the chains on her body tightening. She didn't want this marriage; she didn't need to be bound by it. However, nothing she was saying was getting through to her father. "I'm sure that after you see how much he loves you and how good he is, you will eventually learn to love him too." With those final words, Mr. Fenandez left the room, leaving his daughter to simmer in the aftershock of the news he had just dropped on her. Like it?
