Amy woke up to an empty bed, Zion was nowhere to be found.

Amy wasn’t bothered, so she took her time to gather her things together and move back to her room. She called her favorite house assistant; Thelma to help get this done.

I no time, Amy was fully back to her room.

She sighed in relief as she fell on the bed.

Dragging herself out of bed, Amy went through the motions of getting ready for the day, the routine providing a comforting sense of normalcy amidst the chaos of her emotions. As she m

  • Black Coffee With No Sugar   CHAPTER 88: WHAT THEY COULD SEE

    Her parents' invitation arrived two days after Amy’s meeting with Margaret.Dinner.No explanation.Amy stared at the message on her phone while sitting at her desk at Aurelia.She had learned enough about family invitations to know that “dinner” could mean anything from a quiet meal to a conversation that had been rehearsed by several people before she arrived.She called her mother.“Is everything okay?”Her mother laughed softly.“Yes.”“Then why does Dad want me for dinner?”“Because your father wants to see you.”“That sounds suspicious.”“It isn't.”“Are you sure?”“Very sure.”Amy glanced toward the glass wall of her office, where two members of her team were discussing a client proposal.“What are you not telling me?”“Nothing.&

  • Black Coffee With No Sugar   CHAPTER 87: A SEAT AT THE TABLE

    The invitation arrived on a Tuesday morning.Amy was halfway through a meeting at Aurelia when her assistant placed a cream-colored envelope beside her laptop.“It's for you.”Amy glanced at it. “Who is it from?”“I wasn't told.”She opened it after the meeting ended.Her eyes moved across the page once, then again.It was an invitation to a private business dinner attended by several established business leaders, investors, and founders. Aurelia had been included because of the work it had begun doing with emerging companies.Amy leaned back in her chair.This was not the kind of recognition she had expected so soon.She had imagined months of quiet work before anyone outside their small circle noticed Aurelia. Instead, someone was already paying attention.Her assistant looked at her. “Should I confirm?”Amy looked at the invitation again.“Yes.”Then she paused.“Actually, give me a minute.”She picked up her phone and called Zion.He answered almost immediately.“Hi.”“I've been i

  • Black Coffee With No Sugar   CHAPTER 86: THE THINGS THEY HADN'T SAID

    Monday morning arrived with the familiar rush of traffic, ringing phones and unfinished thoughts.Amy returned to Aurelia with the quiet satisfaction of someone who had finally remembered that work could wait.The weekend away had done more for her than she expected. She had slept properly, laughed without checking the time and spent two entire days with Zion without discussing a single contract unless it was absolutely necessary.Still, by ten o'clock, the demands of the new week had taken over.She was reviewing the first client's revised strategy when her assistant stepped into the office.“Mr. Armstrong is here.”Amy looked up.“My father?”“Yes. He said he won't keep you long.”Amy closed the file.“Send him in.”Zack entered a moment later, carrying a slim folder.He looked around the office before taking the chair opposite her.“I ho

  • Black Coffee With No Sugar   CHAPTER 85: THE WEEKEND AWAY

    By Friday afternoon, Amy was already thinking about work when Zion walked into her office.She had spent most of the week moving between Aurelia's client work and the countless small decisions that came with running a new company. Nothing was falling apart, but nothing seemed to happen without requiring her attention either.She was reviewing a proposal when Zion placed a small envelope on her desk.Amy looked at it.“What is this?”“Open it.”She picked it up, turning it over in her hand. “Should I be worried?”“No.”“That sounded suspicious.”“It isn't.”She opened the envelope and pulled out a reservation confirmation.Her eyes moved across the page before she looked up.“A weekend away?”Zion nodded.“This weekend?”“Yes.”Amy stared at him. “You planned th

  • Black Coffee With No Sugar   CHAPTER 84:THE FIRST SETBACK

    By Wednesday afternoon, Amy had learned an important truth about owning a company.The work did not become easier because she was passionate about it.If anything, caring about the outcome made every problem feel more personal.She sat at her desk studying the figures from Aurelia's first client while the rest of the office hummed quietly around her. Their initial assessment had revealed more structural problems than the client had disclosed during their first meeting. The company's finances were not in immediate danger, but several areas needed attention before any meaningful expansion could happen.Amy rubbed her forehead and read the report again.Their proposed timeline would have to change.So would the budget.More importantly, she needed to tell the client that some of the assumptions made during the initial consultation were wrong.It was not the kind of conversation she had imagined having during Aurelia's first week.She closed the file and stood.Her team was gathered aroun

  • Black Coffee With No Sugar   CHAPTER 83: THE LAUNCH

    By Saturday morning, Amy had almost forgotten about the date.Almost.The launch of Aurelia Development Partners was less than three weeks away, and the company had suddenly developed a talent for demanding her attention at inconvenient hours. There were contracts to review, office equipment to approve, client meetings to arrange and a growing list of things that seemed small until she realised they had to be done before the doors officially opened.She was halfway through an email when Zion appeared in the doorway.“Get dressed.”Amy glanced at him.“Good morning to you too.”“Good morning. Get dressed. You've spent enough of this week behind that laptop.”“I have work.”“You have had work every day this week.”“That's because I'm starting a company.”“And today you're going somewhere with me.”She studied him, immed

  • Black Coffee With No Sugar   Chapter 1: The Heiress's Dilemma

    Amy Armstrong adjusted the sleeve of her blazer for the third time before stepping out of the car.The towering glass building before her reflected the early morning sun like a polished diamond.Diamond Towers.Her father’s empire.Soon to be hers.A lump formed in her throat.“Miss Armstrong?” the

  • Black Coffee With No Sugar   Chapter 5: A Twist (Amy's POV)

    I had walked into intimidating rooms before.Boardrooms filled with executives who thought they knew more than me.Meetings where my last name spoke before I did.But nothing prepared me for this.Zion Petrakis didn’t just sit behind his desk.He owned the space.The room was too quiet, too bright,

  • Black Coffee With No Sugar   Chapter 4: Zion (POV)

    Nobody spoke when Zion Petrakis walked through the executive floor.Not because they weren’t allowed to.Because his presence demanded silence naturally.The sharp sound of his shoes echoed against the polished black floors as employees quickly moved out of his path.Some nodded respectfully.Others

  • Black Coffee With No Sugar   Chapter 2: The Weight of Expectations

    Amy threw her heels across the room the second her bedroom door slammed shut behind her.One landed near the vanity.The other hit the wall.“Perfect,” she muttered bitterly.She loosened the collar of her blouse and stared at herself in the mirror.Calm face.Perfect hair.Controlled expression.Ex
