The chairman signed at eleven fifty-three.I watched his pen move across the final page and felt something loosen in my chest.Nikos shook hands around the table. Closing deals of this size was something his body did automatically while his mind was somewhere else entirely.When his eyes found mine across the room, his expression shifted. I looked away first.Outside the compound, the Mykonos afternoon hit us with white stone, blue water, and light so sharp it made everything look like it had been cut out and placed deliberately against the sky. We walked to the car without touching his arm, but his arm brushed mine twice on the path.“You held the position perfectly,” he said.“I told you fifteen,” I replied.“Four times,” he said.“And I was right all four times,” I said.“Yes,” he said simply. “You were.”The driver opened the door. I got in while he settled beside me, and the car moved away from the compound, and I looked out at the water and told myself that winning this negoti

Nikos POVI heard her moving around the bedroom for an hour.The small sounds from the soft close of a drawer to the shift of the mattress, the occasional silence that meant she’d stopped moving and was probably sitting very still staring at nothing.I knew that because I watched her do it enough times to recognize the pattern.She came out of the bedroom at nine.I kept my eyes on my laptop and told myself to focus.I looked up from my laptop and looked back down before she could catch me doing it.I read the same paragraph four times and closed the laptop.The Hellenic position papers need a final review before tomorrow. The chairman was sharp, and his legal team was sharper, and one weak clause was all it would take to lose sixty million euros and three months of work.She ordered room service without asking what I wanted while we worked.I looked up. She was already sitting back down, opening her laptop, completely unbothered.“You didn’t ask what I wanted,” I said.“You were goin

Three days passed, and the space between us was very obvious.It was professional and exactly the way I liked it. The questions were via mail, not by stopping by my desk randomly or making random glances.Every morning while dressing up, I told myself I would avoid him, and I saw that by taking the stairs instead of the elevator he sometimes used.I hated it, not because I wanted the tension back. I just didn’t expect this space to feel loud.Wednesday morning his assistant called my desk at eight thirty.“Mr. Stavros needs you in the main conference room now, if possible.”I closed my laptop. “Tell him I’ll be there in five minutes.” I took four to get there.He was already there when I walked in, standing at the head of the table, sleeves rolled, a map of the Aegean spread across the surface with documents weighted at the corners.The two other people I didn’t recognize sat on one side; they seemed legal, from the look of them.He looked up when I entered.Our eyes met for exactly o

He was already in the conference room when I arrived. He stood when I walked in; that surprised me. Nikos Stavros didn’t stand for people. He waited for them to come to him. “You came early,” I said. “So did you,” he replied. I set my bag down and stayed on my side of the table. “Talk,” I said. He didn’t flinch at the flatness of it, pulled out the chair across from mine, and sat down. “What do you want to know?” he asked. “Everything you didn’t tell me,” I said. “From the beginning.” He was quiet for a moment, then finally spoke.“My father died two years ago,” he started. “He and Katrina had been separated for three years before that. The divorce was complicated.” He paused. “She walked away from most of it and didn’t fight for what she was entitled to. I never fully understood why until recently.” “Why recently?” I asked. “Because she seemed happy,” he said simply. “For the first time since I’d known her, she seemed genuinely happy. And then your father told

He texted at nine fifty-three. How are you holding up? I stared at it in the back of the cab and put my phone face down on my knee. I didn’t know how to answer that honestly, and I was too tired to answer it any other way. Katrina was already there when I arrived. My father wasn’t. She was sitting alone, wine in hand, completely unbothered. She looked up when I walked in and smiled like she’d been eagerly awaiting this for a while. “Elena,” she said, standing. “I’d know you anywhere. Your father talks about you constantly.” “He talks about you too,” I said. “As of yesterday.” She had the grace to look slightly guilty. “I know, I asked him to wait. I wanted to meet you before it became official.” “Why?” I asked, sitting across from her. “Because you matter to him more than anything,” she said. “I didn’t want you to feel ambushed.” I looked at her properly. She was warm without performing it. I could see exactly what my father saw, and I resented how easily I could

I was halfway through my second coffee when Nikos’s assistant called. “Mr. Stavros would like to see you. Now if possible.” It was seven fifty-three in the morning. “Tell him I’ll be there in five,” I said. I took my time, not to be difficult. Just because walking into that office on his schedule felt like giving something up, and I’d already given up enough this week. His door was open when I got there. He was standing by the window with his sleeves already rolled up. He looked like a man who hadn’t slept, which made two of us. “Close the door,” he said. I closed it and stayed near it. “You wanted to see me.” “Sit down, Elena.” “I’m fine standing.” He turned from the window, staring at me for a long moment. “Sit down,” he said again. This time quietly, not like a command, so I sat. He came away from the window and sat across from me. In the chair directly across. He was deliberately removing every layer of authority between us. That got my attention. “You
