He’s been waiting for her for years. And this time, he’s not stepping aside.
Rafael Griffin is the green-eyed billionaire who keeps showing up: at her gym, at her door, in every place Beatriz Cruz is trying to move on.
He gives her space to heal. She calls it friendship. He lets her...for now.
Because Rafael doesn’t do halfway. Especiallynot with her.
It starts small.
A look across a crowded room that lingers too long. A hand held out for a dance she shouldn’t accept, but does.
When her her past walks in, she moves without thinking—straight behind him. Like her body already knows where she’s safe.
And then he crosses a gala floor and tells her, low and certain, to stop putting another man between them. It stops feeling like friendship and becomes inevitable.
Rafael has always known how this ends.
Bea is just the last one to admit it.
And once she lets him in…there’s no version of this where he lets her go.
