Chapter 1 - The Little Girl Who Entered the Billionaire’s World
The billionaire had fired 47 employees that year...
but he almost fired himself from his own life.
At 35 years old, Alexander Reed owned one of the largest technology companies in America.
Private jets.
Luxury apartments.
A mansion overlooking the ocean.
A bank account large enough that he never needed to check prices.
But every night, when the lights of his mansion turned off...
he ate dinner alone.
The giant dining table that could seat twenty people always had only one plate.
His employees called him brilliant.
The media called him unstoppable.
His competitors called him dangerous.
But nobody called him happy.
Because happiness was something Alexander Reed had forgotten how to feel.
Three years earlier, his younger sister Emily died unexpectedly.
She was the only person who could make him laugh.
The only person who reminded him that life was more than business.
After she was gone, Alexander buried himself in work.
He became exactly what his father wanted.
A machine.
A man who never showed weakness.
A man who never needed anyone.
Or so he believed.
One rainy evening, Alexander returned home earlier than expected.
The mansion was unusually quiet.
His housekeeper, Maria Alvarez, was supposed to finish cleaning before leaving.
She was one of the few employees who never tried to impress him.
She simply worked.
Quietly.
Honestly.
That was why Alexander respected her.
As he walked through the east wing, he heard something strange.
A child's voice.
Singing.
Alexander stopped.
Children were not allowed in his mansion.
Not because he hated them.
Because his house had become a place where happiness disappeared.

He followed the sound.
It came from his private office.
