The rooftop was packed with the city\u2019s elite. Cameras flashed, champagne flowed, and the golden sunset painted everything in perfect light.<\/p>\n

At the podium stood Alexander Vale \u2014 the 41-year-old billionaire who had just opened the tallest skyscraper in the city. He was mid-speech, smiling confidently, when an old man in ragged but clean clothes quietly stepped onto the stage.<\/p>\n

Security froze.<\/p>\n

The crowd went silent.<\/p>\n

The old man stopped right in front of Alexander and looked him straight in the eyes.<\/p>\n

\u201cHello\u2026 little mouse.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alexander\u2019s smile vanished instantly. His face turned pale.<\/p>\n

Hundreds of guests watched in stunned silence as the most powerful man in the city stared at the stranger with tears forming in his eyes.<\/p>\n

The old man continued softly, \u201cShe made me promise\u2026 if she ever left this world, I would find you and tell you she never stopped loving you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alexander\u2019s legs almost gave out.<\/p>\n
