Piagel stood at the waiting room in the Miller’s group for almost three hours with his assistant Kael, he was almost loosing his cool.

“Are you really sure he asked to meet us?.” Piagel asked for the upteenth time, frustration burning through his veins.

“I’m very sure boss.” Kael said, glancing through his watch.

“Then why isn’t he out yet?.” He groaned out, running his fingers through his hair.

“I—don’t—.”

“Mr Piagel Blythe.” Diego called out from the door, Piagel and Kael walked closer to him with anticipation.

“You are Mr Miller’s assistant right?. Where is he? We have been waiting for hours?.” Piagel complained, trying so hard to conceal the irritation and anger in his voice .

“ I am Mr Miller’s assistant and he is very busy and can’t grant you audience today.” Diego said with a calm voice but a very cold and blank expression.

Piagel felt like he was being drenched by a cold water, he had just wasted Three fucking hours in Miller’s group, waiting patiently for Kieran

    THOMPSON CORPORATION — NEXT MORNING Aurora walked into the emergency board meeting with her head high.Twelve faces stared at her. Mr. Chen front and center.“Miss Thompson.” Her father gestured to an empty chair.“Please sit.”Aurora remained standing. “I’d prefer to stand.”Mr. Grey’s mouth thinned. “As you wish. Let’s begin.” He pulled out a tablet. “These are the headlines from the past forty-eight hours. All featuring you.”He scrolled through them. Each one worse than the last.“This is affecting Thompson Corporation’s reputation,” another board member said. “Clients are asking questions. Partners are concerned.”“Concerned about what?” Aurora asked with raised brows.“About leadership. About stability. About whether personal drama will impact business decisions.” Mr Grey explained with a hint of caution in his voice.“Has it?”“Excuse me?”“Has my personal life affected any business decisions?” Aurora looked around the room. “Have I missed deadlines? Lost clients? Failed to deli

    THOMPSON ESTATE — NEXT MORNINGAurora woke to her phone vibrating.She grabbed it. Thirty-seven notifications. Text messages. Missed calls. Emails.She opened social media. Videos everywhere. Piagel’s outburst. Her speech. Her dance with Kieran.The comments were brutal.“Gold digger traded up, From manager to heiress to billionaire’s girlfriend—She planned this whole thing”.But also: “She shut him down perfectly”.“Finally a woman who doesn’t take garbage”“Power couple alert”.Aurora threw her phone across the bed.Downstairs, her family was at breakfast. All three of them looked exhausted.“Good morning,” her mother said carefully.Aurora poured coffee. “How bad is it?”“Depends on perspective.” Cody pushed his tablet toward her. “Financially? We’re fine. Socially? You’re either a villain or a hero. No middle ground.”Aurora scrolled through articles. Some called her calculating. Others called her brave. One fashion blog just analyzed her dress.“The board called,” her father said.

    THOMPSON ESTATE — 6PMAurora stood in front of the mirror while her mother fastened the diamond necklace. “Breathe,” Mrs. Thompson said with a soft smile.“I am breathing.”“No. You’re holding your breath.” Her mother’s hands rested on her shoulders. “Tonight isn’t a test. It’s a celebration.”Aurora looked at her reflection. The sapphire gown fitted perfectly. Hair swept up. Diamonds at her throat. She looked like someone she barely recognized.Someone who belonged.“What if they don’t accept me?”.“Then they’re fools.” Her mother kissed her temple. “But they will. How could they not?”. Downstairs, voices drifted up. Guests arriving. Car doors closing. The murmur of conversation.Aurora’s stomach twisted.“Five minutes,” her mother said, and left. Aurora turned to the window. The driveway was lined with luxury cars. Chauffeurs in uniform. Women in glittering dresses. Men in tailored suits.Velloria’s elite. Here to see her.She closed her eyes, Counted to ten, Then went downstairs.T

    SKY TERRACE RESTAURANT — 8PMThe elevator opened to a rooftop Aurora didn’t recognize.String lights crisscrossed overhead. Candles everywhere. One table. Two chairs. And beyond it, the city stretched like scattered stars.“You rented the whole place,” she said with a curious look.Kieran stood by the table in a black suit. No tie. Hair slightly messy like he’d been running his hands through it.“I wanted privacy.”“This is excessive.”“Is it working?”Aurora walked toward him. Her emerald dress caught the candlelight. “Maybe.”He pulled out her chair. Such an old-fashioned gesture. It made something warm bloom in her chest.Dinner appeared. Course after course. Each more elaborate than the last.But Aurora barely tasted any of it.She was too aware of Kieran. The way he watched her. Like she was the only thing that mattered in the world.“Tell me something nobody knows,” he said.Aurora swirled her wine. “Like what?”“Anything. What you wanted to be when you were young. What keeps you

    MILLER GROUP — 10AMKieran signed the last document. Set down his pen. Diego stood by the door. Waiting."What?" Kieran didn't look up."Someone's here to see you.""I don't have appointments this morning.""I know." Diego's voice was careful. "He says you know him."Kieran looked up. "Name.""Marcus Kane."The pen in Kieran's hand snapped.He stared at the broken pieces. Then at Diego. "Send him up.""Sir—""Now."After Diego left, Kieran stood and walked to the window. His city spread below him. Everything he'd built, Everything Marcus could destroy.The door opened.A man walked in. Older than Kieran remembered. Gray touching his temples. Same cold eyes."Kieran." Marcus smiled. "Look at you. All respectable."Kieran stayed at the window. "What do you want?""No hello? No how've you been?""What do you want, Marcus."Marcus laughed. Walked around the office like he owned it. Touched Kieran's desk. His books. Examining everything."Nice setup." Marcus picked up a crystal paperweight

    THOMPSON CORPORATION — 10AMAurora stood before the projector screen, remote in hand. Twelve pairs of eyes watched her.“The X-City development spans fifteen acres.” She clicked to the next slide. “Mixed-use. Residential towers, commercial spaces, green areas.”The 3D model rotated on screen. Glass and steel reaching toward the sky. Trees lining wide walkways.Mr. Greg leaned back in his chair. “Projected timeline?”“Three years. Phase one breaks ground in six months.”“And the budget?”“Two hundred million.” Aurora pulled up the spreadsheet. “Detailed breakdown is in your folders.”Papers rustled as board members flipped through documents.“This is aggressive,” another board member said. “What makes you confident we can deliver?” Aurora had prepared for this. She walked them through market research. Population growth. Housing demand. Every number backed by data.Mr. Greg raised his hand. “You mentioned a partner. Miller Group.”“Kieran Miller has committed to co-investment. Seventy-
