PART 1
Gabriel was only nine years old.
But there was no childhood left in his eyes.
There was silence.
The kind of silence that moves in after someone leaves the world too early and never comes back.
The kind that settles into a house, into a hallway, into a child’s chest.
Ever since his mother, Mariana, died, the mansion had stopped feeling alive.
It was still enormous.
Still polished.
Still expensive.
But it no longer had a heartbeat.
The hallways held no laughter.
The dining room felt like a hotel ballroom no one actually lived in.
The garden, once a battlefield for wooden swords and dragon hunts, had turned into perfect grass nobody touched.
Gabriel noticed all of it.
Children notice absence in strange ways.
Not in words.
In echoes.
In routines.
In the places where love used to sit.
His father, Ricardo, did not understand grief.
He studied it.
Categorized it.
Tried to solve it the way he solved business problems, with fast decisions, cold logic, and permanent signatures.
To him, loss was not a wound.
It was an inconvenience that required a practical solution.
That afternoon, he called Gabriel into his office with the same tone he used for board meetings and contract negotiations.
“Gabriel, come in. It’s time to move forward.”
The boy walked in slowly.
There was a knot in his stomach, the kind children feel when they know something bad is waiting for them but don’t yet have the language to name it.
Ricardo remained standing behind his desk.
“Today, you’re going to meet some people,” he said. “This house needs a woman again. You will choose who becomes your new mother.”
For a second, the world stopped.
Gabriel stared at him.
He thought maybe he had misunderstood.
Maybe adults sometimes spoke so cruelly by accident that even they didn’t hear themselves.
“I don’t need another mom,” he said quietly, but firmly. “I already had one.”
Ricardo shifted, irritated rather than moved.
“Life goes on,” he said.
That was when the first luxury car rolled through the front gates.
Then a second.
Then a third.
Then two more.
Five gleaming cars entered the driveway like a parade of wealth.
From them stepped five women so polished they looked almost unreal.
Designer dresses.
Jewelry that flashed in the sunlight.
Expensive perfume that drifted through the air before their voices did.
Perfect smiles.
Perfect hair.
Perfect posture.
And eyes that scanned the mansion longer than they looked at the child.
Gabriel felt something hot rise in his chest.
It was not just sadness anymore.
It was humiliation.
He turned and ran.
Not toward the house.
Toward the far end of the garden, where a small wooden bridge crossed a decorative stream Mariana had once insisted on building because Gabriel told her every great adventure needed a secret place.
