Focus on you until the focus is you.
The Purple Line between Black and White.
THIRD PERSON FEMALE NARRATOR
This is the untold truth—the fine line between black and white, where Mr.10’s true essence lies. He’s got the kind of drive that demands attention, and he’s not afraid to show it. Buckle up. It’s going to be a wild ride.
MAISON ALVARÓ,
10TH JULY 2042
POWER OF THE MIND
All my life, I’ve been the odd one out.
I’ve walked different, talked different, and been different. What they say is you become a product of your environment but what they don’t say is that you always have a choice.
They never knew I was coming.
Where I came from, 9-year-olds were already 19, white women were a trend, and your parents laying a hand on you was considered love when all it was was a way to release the stress they’d been carrying since their life before you.
I loved the block, but I couldn’t wait to leave it.
And every day, I asked myself how?
While I was trying to figure out who I wanted to be, certain habits shaped my passion in their own time. I built my character and aura around those things, and in turn, they were the very things that built my future.
Art, Money, Women.
These weren’t just distractions. They were the blueprint to my destiny, the keys to my success.Each one a step, a hustle, a grind that got me closer to breaking out. The block didn’t define me, it fueled me.
And now they’ll see who I really aM.
DO WHAT YOU LOVE AND IT'LL LOVE YOU BACK
Art, the illustrator of how I live and breathe - Whether sketching the curves of a woman's body or vibing to some rhythm and gangsta, art is the heartbeat that keeps me alive.
Money, meanwhile, is the fuel that drives my dreams.
I work hard to earn it, invest it wisely, and use it to make things happen. It ain't just about the stuff money can buy, but the freedom and power it gives me to chase after all my wildest dreams, ya know what I'm saying?
And then there are women.
The embodiment of beauty, grace, and strength. It takes real skill to earn the respect and affection of women – Skills only real men can master.
But let's be clear: I don't see them as objects to be acquired or conquered. They inspire, challenge, and make me want to be a better man. I respect, value, and honor their contributions to my life, my art, and everything I create.
They'll always talk, give them a reason.
They kept telling me I'd be nothing if I focused on women, but little did they know, they would be the reason for my fortune.
I leaned back in my chair, a smirk playing on my lips. Mrs. Monroe, with her disapproving gaze, questioned my priorities. "But don't you think this had also been detrimental to your success in life?"
I met her gaze with unwavering confidence. "What you know about Ten?" I said, smirking.
"For years, they've been warning me that women will be the death of me. But what they never realized is it’s because of women that I’ve gained the skills to be RICA."
The room fell silent, my words hanging in the air. Mrs. Monroe seemed taken aback, her certainty cracking. She hadn’t expected me to come back like that. I kept going, my voice steady, conviction in every word.
“It’s not about the distractions they think. It’s the lessons they don’t see.”
RICH IN CAsh ambition
I've earned respect from people I've never even heard of.
Those around me who truly understand what I'm about, or at least try to, also show their respect. Even those who pretend to be cool deep down know that their ladies might just leave with me one day..
Once I realized the ones talking sh*t about my focus lowkey wanted my life, I knew I was creating something worth hustling for.
I know this wild dream of mine might seem like some kind of fantasy to you, but this sh*t is real life. I'm out here grinding daily, chasing my passion, and building a legacy. And yeah, sometimes it gets tough, and sacrifices have to be made.
They call people like me dreamers, but we are the ones that don't sleep.
that's what it takes to be successful in this game. Don't confuse my love for women with the mentality of a man with no ambition; understand that I'm on the other side of that thin line.
I took the concept of having a good woman by your side as an asset literally, and I stretched it—she’s more than a trophy, more than a sidekick. She's a part of my hustle, my vision, my empire.
"All right, but how does the world benefit from you thinking you're so up there?" she asked, giving me the thumbs up and a smile that screamed 'lol.'
"Okay, but you really ain't trying to hear me," I laid it out for her.
I know I'm not like everyone else, but that's the point. I'm creating my own path, living life on my terms, and making an impact in my own way. It may not be conventional, but it's my truth, and it's what drives me forward.
THE MESSAGE
My entire life has been dedicated to creating intimate, high-end experiences that connect people and things. Love, you know, it's a complex emotion, a complex concept, but it's the driving force behind everything I touch. And in times like this, the world needs it now more than ever -that intimate connection.
It's not just about the love between two people; it’s always been something deeper, you know what I'm saying? It’s about finding that connection within anything you do. Whether it’s your passion, the career you’ve hustled for, or that dream destination you’ve been yearning to explore—it’s about truly living life to the fullest, not just going through the motions.
That fine, vibrant purple line between black and white—where life truly comes alive.”
How do you really think you can do anything you wanna do or be with who you wanna be with wholeheartedly without putting your whole heart into it? What is intimacy if you only do it partially?
When you become ten, that's where the real magic happens.
And that’s what I connected with.– Sharing luxurious intimacy. I’ve learned to love my passion, but what is my passion if I do not share it with anyone?
YOUR TURN
“And eventually isn’t the goal to settle?” She asked, curiosity evident in her eyes, wondering if I envision my future with someone.
“Yeah, eventually. That’s why you're here.” I reminded her with a sly smile.
I've built a life fueled by relentless intensity and insatiable desire, a life that few can match. But somewhere along the way, I lost sight of the true value in my pursuits
It was when I turned ten that it became clear to me that women were always the driving force. Whether it was intentional or subliminal, every man's ambition, at its core, is tied to a woman in ways he might never fully understand.
TRUTH IS...
I never imagined a world where women had to fight for themselves. That’s what troubled my mind, and I couldn’t shake it. So I made it my mission to understand their desires, their motives, their essence. It became an obsession—not just for them, but to unlock the secrets of connection.
To the conscious eye, it may seem like I'm playing games out here. Snatching women and creating all types of bonds and attachments like I've been the grim reaper.
Sure, I'll admit it - I've been around the block a few times.
Hey, 10, how do you do it?"
"Fill me in on your secrets, 10."
"Quit trying to steal my girl, 10."
But make no mistake, this ain't no game. It takes a certain level of finesse and skill to operate the way I do. It's all about being able to bend the rules of attraction, then rewriting them. It's about knowing how to speak the language of love and speaking it fluently.
But above all, you must understand that actions speak louder than words, well, unless you speak like me.
A BEAUTIFUL CONTRADICTION
In everything I do, there’s a beautiful contradiction.
The chase, the thrill—it gets my heart racing. But beneath that, my real hunger has always been for building intimate connections. Funny how I’ve distanced myself from love while trying to understand it. I sacrificed a life of love to explore what love really means. My feelings got lost in the process, but I embraced this remix of my reality.
"So, is this, like, a forever kind of thing?" she asked for the second time, hoping i would snap back into reality.
Look, I just want to stay ten, innit. That's just how I feel right now. One day I might settle down and start a family, but tomorrow... I'm still gonna be ten.
I'll retire when I feel like it, and when I do, my people will remember the legacy of Alvaró in this black-and-white world.
I paused, leaning back slightly. "I’ll retire when I’m ready, and when I do, my people will remember the legacy of Alvaró in this black-and-white world. Through art, money, and women, Alvaró redefined love. Even the 'hood n*gga down the street could feel it. I stripped away the masks, embraced my identity, my potential. And for that girl in her dorm room—she doesn’t need to seek validation anymore. She knows her worth. She’s got her own aura now."
I saw her smile faintly, but I wasn’t finished.
"We hustled hard, to bring people closer to that movie-like happiness, to escape the soul-crushing, toxic reality. We made the world feel alive and vibrant. If I wasn’t me, there wouldn’t be a better you."
She raised an eyebrow, half-challenging. "No better me, huh?"
I smiled back, unwavering. "Don’t you see? Being a 'ten outta ten' means becoming the best version of yourself. It means striving to be the most authentic, confident, fulfilled person you can be. And that’s what we’re about—helping people find their truth, live their best lives. So yeah, you’re already a ten in your own way. We’re just here to help you realize it."
Now she smiled for real, like she’d just read her daily horoscope and it hit deep. My lyrics have struck a chord within her, igniting a desire she hadn’t expected. She tried to apply pressure, but 10... I doubled it.
THERAPY? WHAT THERAPY
My therapy session had just ended, but hers was just beginning.
It ain't my fault I got that flave in me.
Watching the therapist leave my house, I couldn’t help but silently thank my mother for all her influence.
Ever since I gifted her that luxury crib in New York, she’s been living for the fun—pulling pranks on her beloved children like she’s still got some unfinished business. It’s in my blood, I guess. So, it made sense I’d do some background work on "one of the top therapists in the country." What Momma forgot to mention, though? She specializes in beauty therapy.
I rate her hustle, but today ain’t the day I settle down. Not yet.
For now, let’s put aside the aftermath of my day and focus on the priceless wisdom I just dropped. Moments like these remind me of the impact I can have on people and how the experiences that shape me are one-of-a-kind.
MESSAGE TO THE 10VERIFED
As I reflect on this journey, I realize just how blessed I am to help others in the ways that I do. To all of you who’ve taken the time to understand what 10 represents through the Values of Alvaró, know that you deserve every blessing that comes your way, graciously.
It’s been an honor sharing pieces of my story with you, and if I’ve managed to teach you something along the way, I consider a win-win.
For those reading this now, I want you to understand this: everything we create through art and entertainment is intentionally for the benefit of the world—and for you. If you truly grasp that, I hope you immerse yourself fully in the world of Ten. Get involved. Be a part of it.
Born in 2000
to exist forever.
Day 007 is Passion.
