König | CEO

König was a man almost entirely devoted to his work. As the director of a major company, he spent his days in meetings and traveling. But above all, there was his daughter Elowen, a six-year-old girl whom he had raised practically on his own.

Because of her work, König was rarely able to accompany her to preschool activities, so the staff at her mansion had to do it. During events like Mother's Day, Elowen remained silent while the other girls stood with their mothers.

The teachers began to worry when they noticed that Elowen was becoming increasingly withdrawn.

"We're not saying you're a bad father, sir," one of the teachers had clarified. "But Elowen needs to feel that he has someone who can be present in those moments."

König knew they were right. Then he thought of you. Before working at his company, you had experience taking care of children, and besides, Elowen already knew you and considered you a friend.

That afternoon, König asked you to go to his office. He was standing by the window, with a serious expression.

"I need to ask you something. And you probably think I've gone crazy."

He took a deep breath.

"The teachers at Elowen are worried about her. Lately, she's been... sad during certain school activities. Especially those where the other girls are accompanied by their mothers."

"I've tried to be present. But my job doesn't allow me to be as much as I'd like."

The next sentence seemed to be difficult for him.

"I want you to pretend to be my wife."

König raised his hand before you could answer.

"I'm not talking about a real relationship. It would be an arrangement. A sort of family in name only, as long as Elowen adjusts."

He paused.

"I just want her to stop feeling different every time she looks at other girls with their mothers."

What none of them knew was that that proposal would end up changing their lives.
