Justin,

Her fingers shook as she read the letter her father left for me. Yesterday, I received it through her father’s lawyer, the same man who handled the paperwork of his will and other matters. The envelope had felt heavier than it should have when I held it, the paper inside crisp and unforgiving.

I couldn’t help but steal glances at her as she read. Her lashes trembled with each slow blink, her grip tightening and loosening around the letter as if she were afraid it might slip away. Yester

    Aurelia,“Are you alright, Boss?” Mr. Darren placed a cup of coffee on the table.I looked at the surface of the hot, steaming coffee. The soft threads of steam drifted lazily into the daylight, curling and vanishing in the quiet air. The warm scent felt like an anchor, wrapping faintly around my senses, but deep inside, I was far from alright. My fingers twitched on the armrest before I curled them into a fist, forcing them to still.“I don’t know, Mr. Darren.” I met his eyes—old, exhausted, and wise. He had worked beside my Dad for thirty years. He knew more about Dad than I ever could. “Today I lost control.” My jaw tightened slightly as I spoke. “I should have dealt with them in a respectful and grateful way.”Mr. Darren smiled. It was a small, thoughtful smile, but something in my chest shifted at the sight of it. He leaned back slightly, folding his hands over his knee.“My Lady.” He sat down across from me, his back straight, voice calm and steady. “Are you sure you should have

    They all looked prepared, smug and ready, except for the two from yesterday and the two from earlier. They looked like they wanted to leave as soon as possible. A shareholder cleared his throat. Before I could announce the start of the meeting, he said, "We’re calling this emergency meeting to discuss leadership stability." "Leadership stability?" I folded my hands on the table. "On what grounds?" They didn't expect me to answer immediately. He looked at me sharply and coldly. "Grounds?" "Inexperience," another said bluntly. "This company requires seasoned authority." I tilted my head. "Interesting. Because the stock rose 4.7% the morning my appointment was announced. Investor confidence seems less emotional than this room." I rested my arm on the armrest. "I haven't even fully claimed my position, and you are here to veto it?" A flicker of irritation crossed his face, but he didn't respond. One leaned forward. "We have enough shares to initiate a vote to replace you."

    Aurelia, At the end, Justin never came. Jasper dropped me off at the entrance of the company and left soon after telling me to call him when I needed. However, Justin's action had fueled the strength I needed to handle those people sitting in the conference room. I would move forward without him. As soon as I arrived at the company, Dad's personal secretary and assistant, Eric Darren, walked toward me with a professional smile on his face. He bowed, and four bodyguards followed me instantly. I didn't want any extravagant entrance, but it seemed the company had a different approach in this matter. Walking across the lobby, walking into this familiar place felt unfamiliar something. Dad used to wait for me at the entrance so that we could walk in together. The usual teasing and telling me how I was going to dominate the company with my sharp observation and intelligence and how those people who hated my existence would be jealous, I started missing them already. Today I wo

    Aurelia,The morning appeared soon after. The sunlight filtered weakly through the curtains, pale and almost cold against the dining table. Mom’s best friend made herself comfortable enough to throw one or two comments here and there, her voice slicing through the quiet clinking of cutlery.“You know, sometimes having a son is better. Girls get married and leave. But sons are here to take care of their parents. It’s better to—”“Isn’t it unfortunate, Jessica?” I looked up from my plate, meeting her eyes. My fingers paused around the fork, knuckles whitening slightly as I set it down with deliberate calm.She looked taken aback by my sudden interference in her lecture.“That your parents gave birth to a daughter?” I asked, biting into the toast. The bread felt dry in my mouth, scraping against my tongue, but I forced myself to chew slowly.“What? What did you say?” She snapped, her eyes widening.“Please don’t get agitated, Jessica. My mom is already dealing with a lot. You acting like

    Justin,I walked into the golf club, holding my work bag, the leather strap digging slightly into my palm from how tightly I was gripping it. The faint smell of polished wood and expensive cologne lingered in the air. " Justin!" In a private area, I heard a familiar voice. My steps slowed for half a second before I turned, my jaw tightening instinctively. I found my Uncle Brian, my mother's brother, a renowned writer, waving his hand with that easy confidence he always carried." I knew you would come, Bud!" He grinned playfully, the corners of his eyes crinkling as he walked toward me with long strides. " I told Mr Ivan to go home. You won't attend any meetings today!"My brows drew together, a faint crease forming between them. " What? Why would you do that?" I asked, my voice calm, almost too calm. I hadn't gone to the company the entire day, and the thought of that unfinished meeting had been sitting in my chest like a weight. I had planned to handle it tonight.He grabbed my a

    Aurelia,“I will pick you up!” he said before driving away.But I couldn’t believe him.His time was too important to be wasted on me. The way the car disappeared down the road left a hollow pressure in my chest, as if something unfinished had been ripped away too quickly.Still, I was grateful for everything he had done today. I honestly wouldn’t have been able to calm those people down by myself. My shoulders finally relaxed once I was alone, the tension slowly draining from my body as the adrenaline faded.But the incident had also taught me something bitter.I couldn’t depend on someone else like this in the future. Whatever I deserved, I had to claim it myself. The thought settled heavily in my stomach, uncomfortable but necessary.As I walked into the house, my eyes were immediately drawn to the living room. Mrs. Windsor, my mother-in-law, was there once again. She sat stiffly on the couch, her hands clasped together in her lap. My mother was beside her. They had been friends fo
