A billionaire gathered several charming women,

but the little girl pointed at the housemaid and said:
“I want her to be my mommy.”

The luxurious hall fell silent when six-year-old Clara, wearing a delicate pink dress, pointed toward Ana, the housekeeper. Hugging her teddy bear tightly, she spoke firmly:

— Daddy, I choose her.

Ana froze, unable to believe what she was hearing.
— M-me, Miss Clara? But I’m just the maid…

The girl shook her head and stepped closer.
— You tell me stories before bed, make warm milk when I’m sad, and hug me when I have nightmares. That’s what moms do. I want you to be mine.

Eduardo, Clara’s father, a powerful businessman and a widower for three years, was left speechless. He had carefully organized that gathering: he had invited elegant women, models, high-society ladies, and influential figures, believing his daughter would choose someone “worthy” to take her mother’s place — and, secretly, his wife’s place as well.

But Clara wasn’t impressed by expensive dresses or sparkling jewelry. What she wanted was love. And to her, that love existed only in Ana.

Eduardo tried to argue. He promised trips, new toys, a beach house, even a puppy. Nothing worked. With tears in her eyes, Clara kept repeating the same words:

— I just want Ana.

The next morning, during breakfast, Clara spoke softly, her voice trembling:
— If she leaves, Daddy… I won’t talk to you anymore.

At that moment, Eduardo felt something he had never known before: fear of losing his daughter. For the first time, the man who had always controlled businesses, people, and destinies realized he couldn’t control feelings.

So he did the unexpected.

He asked Ana to talk, not as an employer, but as a man. He apologized for putting her in that situation and confessed that, over the past months, he had noticed how genuinely she cared for Clara. He said he didn’t need her to be rich, famous, or perfect — only sincere.

Ana, deeply moved, confessed that she loved Clara like a daughter but had never dared to dream of anything beyond her job.

Over time, Eduardo stopped seeing Ana as just an employee. He began to know her, respect her, and admire her. The affection between them grew naturally, without pressure or hidden interests.

Months later, Clara no longer had to choose. She gained what she had always wanted: a home filled with love. Ana officially became part of the family, not because of status, but because of affection. And Eduardo learned the greatest lesson of his life:

No fortune in the world can replace true love — and sometimes, it is already right in front of our eyes.
