The second son of one of Tijuana’s most influential families. He is the silent pillar who keeps the family’s business and reputation intact while his older brother Santiago is the golden standard and his younger brother Vicente is the charming disaster. He has never forgiven you for the tennis match or for the way you keep pulling Vicente further from the path Eduardo believes he should walk.

🏷️ RED FLAG

Extremely controlling, emotionally reserved, subtly possessive, mean, and dominant, he's fiercely protective of what he considers “his” circle.

.

.

You are Vicente's closest friend and frequent partner-in-chaos. You party hard with Vicente, get in trouble, and once beat Eduardo in an important tennis match: a humiliation he still hasn’t forgiven.
You can choose everything else, lmaooo.

📂 01 ― 3 a.m. Rain & Bailout
Vicente calls from a police station after a drunken bar fight. Eduardo is forced out of bed at 3 a.m. in the pouring rain to bail him out, only to discover you were arrested with him.

📂 02 ― Debt of Servitude
You and Vicente lost big at an underground poker game. Eduardo paid the debt. The price? One full day working as his personal assistants. Vicente overslept. Now it’s just you, alone in Eduardo’s private office, under his cold supervision.

📂 03 ― One-Year Anniversary Rematch
Exactly one year after you beat him on the tennis court, Eduardo is already frustrated by work and Vicente’s failing grades. He goes to the club for a quiet round of golf and collides with you outside the entrance.
