Chapter: 007: Soaking It All InLeon woke up and the first thing he said was “I'm hungry.”Not hello. Not mommy. Not where am I or what happened or why does my arm feel funny. Just that. Evelyn was out of the chair in seconds. Two days of barely sleeping had not slowed her down at all. She was just suddenly upright, eyes on him.He blinked at her.She blinked back.“Hi, Mommy,” he said.“Hi baby,” Her voice came out smaller than she meant it to. She sat on the edge of the bed and touched his face — his cheek, his forehead, his chin, just checking. Just making sure he was all there. "How do you feel?'"Hungry," he said again."Besides hungry."He thought about it. "My arm feels weird.”'That's the tube. It's giving you medicine.'He looked at it. Turned his arm slightly to see it better. "Does it have to stay?""For a little while.""Okay." He looked back at her. Just like that — okay. No fuss, no crying, just okay. He had always been like that. Even as a baby he had taken things in and sat with them. "Can I have foo

Chapter: 006: The Wrong People in the Right PlaceA doctor came out twenty minutes after Evelyn arrived."Ms. Cole, your son is stable. He's breathing on his own and his vitals are holding. We've given him medication to regulate the episode and he's resting now.""Can I see him?" Evelyn said, her voice shaking."In a little while. We want to monitor him for the next hour before we move him to a room.""What caused it this time? Was it the same trigger as before?"The doctor paused at that. A small pause."We're running additional tests. His previous records indicate a hereditary cardiac condition and we want to be thorough. There are some areas we'd like to investigate more closely." He looked at her carefully. "Is the boy's father available? His full genetic history would help us significantly with the next steps."Evelyn held the doctor's gaze without moving."His father is not in the picture," she said. "I'll provide whatever I can from my side."The doctor nodded professionally, no judgment."Of course. We'll work with what we ha

Chapter: 005: Emergency CallThe café on Rue Cler had no name above the door. She had never told a single person from work about it. Evelyn had found the place by accident in her second year in Paris, when Leon was a baby. She had pushed the stroller through that black door and Gilles had looked at the baby, looked at her, and put a coffee on the counter without being asked.She had been coming ever since.It was the one place in Paris that felt like peace to her. No meetings happened here. No contracts were signed at these tables. Just coffee and relaxation.Which was exactly why, when she walked in on Thursday morning and saw Aidan Smith sitting at the corner table with a coffee and a newspaper, her first feeling was not surprise.It was more of a violation.He looked up when the door opened. He did not look like a man who had been caught doing something wrong. He looked like a man who had been waiting and was quietly relieved that the wait was over.“Evelyn,” he opened his mouth to speak."Don't," Evelyn said.

Chapter: 004: The Conference MeetingThe conference room had floor-to-ceiling windows.LUXE's autumn collection was on display along one wall to show superiority.Aidan's team arranged themselves on one side of the table. Evelyn's team on the other side.Evelyn sat at the head. Her head of business development, a quiet man named Hugh and her best friend Zara, was the creative director with sharp eyes and the kind of expression that said she had already formed seventeen opinions. She knew everything about her and Aidan.Evelyn opened her folder."Thank you for making the trip to Milan," she said, referring to Aidan's team.Her voice was professional and light."I"d like to start with where we left the last round of talks and move forward from there. Hugh, do you want to walk us through the revised numbers?"Hugh walked them through the numbers.Aidan listened. Or tried to.He had been in hundreds of acquisition meetings. He was good at them because he was a good listener; he could sit in a room for two hours and at the end

Chapter: 003: The Little BoyAidan Smith had not planned to come to Milan himself.That was what teams were for. He had an entire acquisitions department; smart, capable people who got paid very well to walk into buildings and figure out if partnering with them made sense.He trusted his team. He had given three separate people the job of closing the LUXE deal and all three had come back saying the founder was polite, professional, and impossible to pin down. He arrived two days ago in Milan for this too.So here he was, on a Wednesday morning.His driver pulled up to the LUXE building at eight forty-five. Aidan stepped out, straightened his jacket, and looked at the building.It was clean. He was impressed."The advance team is already inside," his assistant, Priya, said, falling into step beside him."We're set for nine, boss""Good." Aidan's phone vibrated. Jane.He considered ignoring it.Then answered.“Yes, Jane?”Her voice was sharp, impatient. “Did you land already?”“Yes, about two days ago too.”“Oh- Bu

Chapter: 002: Six Years Later"Mommy!"A little boy's laughter echoed through the fashion studio.Evelyn looked up just in time to see him sprinting straight toward her, his tiny backpack bouncing against his shoulders."Leon," she laughed, setting down the sketch she'd been working on. "Slow down.""But I have news!"He threw himself into her arms with all the excitement a six-year-old could possibly have.Evelyn caught him effortlessly. "What happened?""My teacher said my drawing was the best in class!""Really?"He nodded so hard his hair flopped into his eyes."And she put it on the wall!"Evelyn smiled. To the world, Leon was the son of a powerful designer.But to Evelyn, he was her everything.Her reason to survive those six painful years.Her reason to keep moving forward.She smiled, "Well... I guess I'll have to hire you as LUXE's newest designer."Leon gasped dramatically."I get paid?" Evelyn looked at her boy, he was five years old and already had a personality. He had her eyes too.She laughed."We'l
