My name is Elena. I am thirty-five years old, and for a long time I believed that if I worked hard and stayed quiet, life would reward me with stability. I was never ambitious in a loud way. I didn’t dream of fame or luxury. I only wanted security. A job I could depend on. A routine that felt safe. A life without trouble.

I worked in a large consulting firm downtown, one of those glass buildings where people walk fast and rarely look at each other. I was an assistant in the finance department. Not an important position, but a necessary one. I organized reports, managed schedules, double-checked numbers that others didn’t have time to review. I didn’t earn much, but I was careful. My clothes were simple but always clean. My hair was always tied back. I wanted to disappear into my work, not stand out.
