"Ah," Saben said in mock seriousness, "but we left out a few. important questions."Benedict nodded and stepped forward, inspecting Damian as a man inspecting blueprints for flaws. "You don't mind, do you, Damian?"Damian set the beer aside and straightened up a bit more, Eliana leaning against him like a very grumpy, very tired human shield."Of course not, sir," Damian replied softly. "Go on."Saben sat on the railing, sipping his beer as if it were popcorn at a movie. "First things first—do you have any siblings?"Damian shook his head. "Only child.""That explains the sulking," Saben complained."Do your parents live in the area still?" Benedict asked.No, sir. I lost my mother when I was twelve. My dad is in Montana now. Retired army. We chat every now and then, but not often."Eliana's eyes gradually swiveled to Damian. She spoke softly. "You never told me about your mom."He gave her a tiny, personal smile. "You never asked."Saben blinked, the teasing forgotten for an instant.

Meanwhile, back at the Thompson compound.The chandelier above the long mahogany table sparkled beautifully, casting golden glows upon the roasted duck, truffle pasta, garden salad, and a casserole that smelled ominously like Grandma Wendy's infamous "experimental lasagna."Eliana cast a slant eye over her wine glass, nudging Damian beside her. "If Grandma gives you something out of that blue dish. just smile and tell her you're full, politely."Damian's eyebrow flickered. "Why? Is it toxic?""Not toxic. Just. not trustworthy," she drew a breath with a smile. "Last time was blueberry and tuna.""God protect us all."Next to them, Benedict Thompson, Eliana's father, cleared his throat.Everyone stagnated.He looked directly at Damian, eyes unwavering, hands together. "So, Damian, how long have you been in security?"Eliana tensed beside Damian, her fork poised halfway to her mouth.Damian did not flinch. "Twelve years. I started out in private detail for foreign diplomats. Transitioned

The late sun had slipped below the hills, sending a warm orange light over the city horizon. Nathaniel stood at the edge of the roof of his building, his hands shoved into the coat pockets. The wind pulled at his collar, but he barely felt it.He was alone. And for the first time in what felt like forever, he wasn't battling it.His phone vibrated in his pocket. He slowly drew it out, heart racing at the name on the screen—Eliana.It was a picture.She sat on a porch, on Damian's lap. The sort of picture that got sent accidentally to the wrong address or perhaps. one that you'd wanted them to see. Her eyes glinted, her smile caught mid-motion. Damian gazed at her the way Nathaniel once had—like she was the focal point.Nathaniel's mouth opened, but there was nothing that came out. For a moment, he merely gazed.Then he exhaled a breath he hadn't known he was holding."It's time," he breathed.He did not delete the picture. He didn't block her. He simply… closed the message and stuck t

Nathaniel Harper sat on the edge of his bed, with his feet bare, elbows on his knees. His penthouse was still, dark, and abnormally chilly. The curtains were half closed, admitting the soft blue twilight from the skyline, but he no longer saw the view. Not since Eliana.The business conference had concluded. The world had applauded, toasted, and networked. Everyone had left with deals and contacts.But not him.He had taken a lesson with him. One he learned too late.Love doesn't wait.He took a long breath, gazing at the floor as if it would provide him with answers. On the bedside table rested the watch Eliana had once given him—a clean, elegant model inscribed on the back with a quote: "Time reveals what words cannot."How ironic.Time hadn't revealed anything. It had simply… slipped through his fingers.He rose slowly, moving across the room to pour himself a glass of bourbon. The apartment rang with every step. The quiet no longer seemed peaceful—it felt like absence.He walked o

The next day…The ballroom of the Grand Monarch Hotel buzzed with the familiar murmur and clinking of champagne flutes. Executives from all over the country mingled under gilded chandeliers, sipping champagne and pretending not to look at one another. The year's Global Finance and Innovation Conference was in full swing—and for once, the last place Nathaniel Harper should have been.But duty didn't care about heartbreak.He adjusted his tie and walked through the grand double doors, his name being his shield: Nathaniel Harper, CEO of Harper Holdings.The Grand Monarch Hotel was abuzz with glittering shoes, razor-sharp suits, and echoing conversation. Crystals hung down above like chunks of ice crystals, glinting over warm yellow lights. Waiters strode past the throngs of people, carrying champagne and nips of truffles. And yet even amidst all this luxury, Nathaniel Harper stood still on the edge of the room, gripping a whiskey glass as if it were some sort of mooring.His eyes continu

The Thompson estate was alive and kicking that Sunday afternoon.The sun cast golden light onto the big garden, where the family had gathered around the long table under the gazebo. The smell of just-cut roses mingled with the smell of freshly baked treats and roast beef. Eliana's laughter carried across the air for a moment—light, real, and unselfconscious—as she chatted with Damian next to the buffet table.But not everybody was laughing.At the far end of the table, seated on intricately carved chairs, sat Grandma Wendy and Grandma Leila, two powerful women with different views—but both fiercely protective of their granddaughter.“I’m happy if she’s happy,” Leila said gently, sipping her tea, her eyes on Eliana across the lawn. “That’s all we’ve ever wanted, isn’t it?”Wendy, queen-like in her pearl earrings and sharp cream blazer, didn't respond immediately. Her gaze stayed fixed on Eliana and Damian."Suppose," Wendy said at last, her tone strained. "But being happy doesn't neces

In the meantime, Nathaniel Harper returned home crestfallen.The lights of the city whizzed by outside his windows as he drove, the familiar skyline now far away and empty. His favorite playlist floated softly through the speakers, but every lyric was a stab. He had no idea why he came—perhaps some stupid hope, some untold story he thought he could rework.But hope, he knew now, has its boundaries.When he arrived at his penthouse, the silence was oppressive. No footsteps. No laughter. Only the hum of opulence and the lack of the only thing he ever really wanted: her.He placed the pastry box on the marble counter and gazed at it as if it contained a piece of his heart. Perhaps it did.Eliana’s smile haunted him—the real one, the one she gave him once. But tonight, that smile belonged to someone else.To Damian.Nathaniel loosened his tie and dropped onto the couch, running both hands through his hair. His chest ached, not with anger, but with grief. He had been too late, too careful,

The peaches' sweetness still lingered on their tongues when the sun finally set, bleeding amber and violet strokes across the horizon. The house fell silent—the laughter earlier now only a faint echo within the walls. Saben had dozed off on the couch, snoring into a throw pillow, while Grandma Wendy worked in the corner, scanning over her yarn but wide-eyed as Damian and Eliana crept out the back door again.Outside, night was crisp, kissed by dew and the delicate perfume of jasmine twining around the garden trellis. Damian led Eliana along the stone path to the old wooden bench hidden beneath the gentle hug of ivy and the protective shadow of towering oaks.They sat shoulder to shoulder in the silence, letting the cradle of cicadas and wind chimes lull over them. Damian brushed his fingers against hers, his thumb sweeping across her knuckles."Hey, you okay?" he asked, his voice low but threaded with concern.Eliana breathed slowly, carefully. "I should be asking you that. You just s

Above, the kitchen was again shrouded in cozy silence. Wendy was sitting on the window seat, an unused crossword crumpled up in her lap as she watched the two men return. Leila Auburn, Sabrina's mother, had folded a dish towel with every bit as much precision as if she'd spent years at research school. Eliana braced against the table, elbow planted on the Formica, chin propped against her fist, eyes illuminating the instant Damian came into view.Her gaze locked with his. And for an instant, the room vanished again.Eliana got up, walking over to stand at his side. "You passed.""Barely," he teased, reaching out to take her hand instinctively.Sabrina, who had been blotting her hands with a print towel, looked over and raised an eyebrow. "Did he pass the test?"Saben collapsed into a chair. "He didn't blink. That in itself is deserving of a standing ovation."Wendy snorted but smiled behind her teeth. "We'll see how macho he is when I ask him about his credit rating.""Grandma," Sabri
