Sally never expected the school's powerful CEO, Joaquin, to take such a personal interest in her life. His piercing eyes and captivating charm make it difficult for Sally to resist, but her dedication to her students keeps her grounded. As Joaquin's attention grows, Sally is swept into a whirlwind of passion, intrigue, and high-stakes decisions that could change her life forever. Can she handle the challenges of romance in the corporate-driven school environment, or will her heart lead her into uncharted territory?
On a quiet morning in the town of Millwood, the sun shines a warm light, bringing hope that life will spring up again. Sally Boston is busy with her activities in the Millwood Middle School classroom. A passionate teacher, she is known to her students for her creative and fun teaching style. But behind his smile, he carries the dreams and fears that surround his heart.
As she arranges her books on the table, Sally thinks about the challenges she faces as a single mother. Her son Liam, a happy boy with long hair and an imaginative mind, looks up to her. "I have to be strong for him," she whispered to herself as she looked at the pictures she and Liam took. She always prays to be a good mother and teacher.
But behind his strength, there are shadows that motivate him-the fear of the rich, caused by his past. That opportunity came, when he met one of the richest people in their town.
It was a week before the school's annual charity event, when the invitation came to Sally. It contained the name of the most influential person in town, Joaquin Mercedes, the billionaire owner of the school. His fear immediately returned. "Why do we need to meet the rich?" he asked himself, as he thought about his experiences with rich and powerful people.
Once, his father worked for a rich family as a caretaker, but soon his family was hurt. Fear and suffering remained in his mind. He doesn't want to repeat the past, especially for his son.
When the day of the charity event came, Sally dressed in a simple white blouse and navy blue skirt, hoping that people wouldn't notice her. But upon his arrival at the venue, he was mesmerized by the luxury of the place. The decorations, the brightness of the lights, and the smiles of the guests seemed like a dream.
In her shock, Sally thought about leaving. But he decided to stay, because it was an opportunity to show support to his school. He started walking around, keeping an eye on his surroundings.
An hour passed, and Sally felt anxious. "Why don't I seem to fit in here?" he thought. He continued walking, until he encountered a wall of visitors. There, he suddenly saw Joaquin, standing in the middle of the group. His charisma and blazing eyes seemed to give a presence to the surroundings.
As Sally approached, he couldn't deny the attraction to her. Joaquin's eyes were full of determination and sincerity. He was dressed in a black suit that matched his figure, giving an impression of power and allure.
But as he approached, he hesitated. "Okay, I'm just a teacher. I have no right to be a part of his world," he whispered to himself.
Because of his thoughts, he didn't notice Joaquin approaching him. "Excuse me, are you a teacher here?" he asked with a smile. Sally was surprised and stopped. "Ah, yes. I'm Sally Boston," she answered, shyly.
"I'm glad to meet you, Sally," replied Joaquin, with a calm and kind voice. "I noticed your dedication to the children at school. This charity event is for them."
Here, Sally suddenly felt the tension in her heart. "Thank you very much, Mr. Mercedes. All this is for them," he replied. He felt the door to their conversation open.
As they talked, Sally felt her fear gradually disappear. Joaquin seems to surpass his imagination as a billionaire. His questions are full of understanding and respect, and Sally gradually learns that there is a deeper person behind her wealth.
"How did you find your passion for teaching?" asked Joaquin. Sally thought and talked about her students and the joy that comes from teaching. As he tells the story, Joaquin notices the fire in his eyes.
But soon, the happy conversation is interrupted when Katharina, an ambitious friend of Sally's, approaches. "Joaquin, would you like to meet the other guests?" she asked, seeming to show her interest in Joaquin.
In an instant, Joaquin lost his gaze on Sally. He felt annoyed. At that moment, Sally's fear returned. "This is right. I should go now," he thought, as he decided to leave their conversation.
But before he could get away, Joaquin called him. "Sally, I want to get to know you better. Let's start talking again. I will be at the school next week," he said with a smile.
His words gave Sally hope, but she also felt dread. "What if I make a mistake? What if my fear happens again?" he asked himself.
As he returned home, these questions flooded his mind. Fear and hope collided, but despite everything, she left Joaquin with smiles. He felt a new beginning, a hope in spite of the fears returning to his mind.
While in her room, Sally looked at the pictures hanging on the wall. "I have to be strong for Liam," she whispered, determined to pursue her dreams.
In the following days, Sally couldn't get Joaquin out of her mind. A billionaire full of mystery and personality, and their conversation gave him the courage to open his heart again.
Next time, he will wait for a new beginning. Her fears gradually disappear, and with each step, she learns that love and hope always have a place in her life.
