He was a former architect from Medellín, 6’2”, with hands that looked like they could draft a skyscraper or break a heart. He had never walked a runway. He had zero Instagram posts. Yet the algorithms screamed that he was the singularity—the one face that would define the next decade.
Dominic slammed his palm on the desk. “Get me Valle on the sat-phone. Now.”
