The Golden Secret of Canaima

In the heart of the tiny city of Valencia, Venezuela, there was an elegant mansion tucked away among the narrow alleys. This grand house was owned by the Rodríguez family, a well-off couple with a young son named Andres. Andres’ parents were often caught up in business meetings, leaving him to spend most of his time with his nanny, Lorena. Though Lorena cared for Andres as if he were her own child, the bond between them was not merely one of employer and servant. Lorena’s love for Andres grew deep, and she often wondered what the child’s life might have been like if his parents had spent more time with him. Life at the Rodríguez mansion was rich in luxury, but Andres’s world was one of solitude. Lorena lived in a small apartment quite far away and only had one full day off each month. Despite the long hours of work and low pay, Lorena always stayed, knowing that her presence was the only comfort Andres had in this lonely house. One evening, Lorena returned from her day off to find Andres upset and anxious.
