“She’s over there, the one in the green T-shirt,” Raina said, pointing at the young woman standing by the sidewalk.

James glanced over and nodded before carefully pulling the car to a stop just a few feet ahead. The morning sun reflected off the windshield. Raina’s finger lingered in the air as she watched the woman walk toward them, Ariel.

No matter how many times James tried to convince her that he had a solid eye for fashion, Raina simply couldn’t wrap her head around trusting him with something as delicate as selecting a dress. He might be great at security, driving, or handling intense situations, but fashion? That was an entirely different area...

She had imagined herself in front of the boutique’s dressing mirror, stepping out in an outfit only to ask James for feedback? No way. That was a woman’s domain—a shared ritual, a moment of bonding, and if anyone understood that, it was Ariel.

The car door opened, and Ariel slipped in with a bright smile. Her energy, as always, was vib

    The soft sound echoed faintly in the corridor just as the elevator doors slid open with a Ding. Kai stepped out, his expression unreadable, and began walking with purpose toward Jamie’s office at Rainwoven. He didn’t knock. He never did when he was like this.Inside, Jamie was at her desk, flipping through a stack of documents and skimming numbers that barely held her attention. When she looked up and saw him, a smile lit her face instantly.“My love,” she purred, brushing a lock of hair behind her ear. “You didn’t tell me you were coming. If I had known, I would’ve had something special prepared for you.”But Kai didn’t smile. He didn’t respond either. He paced slowly across the room, his brows furrowed, eyes focused on the floor as though searching for the right words there. His silence made her pause. She tilted her head, watching him with a curious expression. She knew something was off.“What’s the matter?” she finally asked, her voice light but cautious.He stopped pacing, turne

    “Why… why must there always be one issue or the other when you two meet?” Donald asked, his voice heavy with exhaustion and long-standing disappointment. He stood tall in the hallway outside the boardroom, hands behind his back, casting glances between Aaron and Elise. His words weren’t directed at anyone in particular—more like a question he’d asked himself countless times“There’s no issue here, darling,” Elise said, her voice dripping with innocence as she took a step closer to him. “I was just giving Aaron some good advice. Advice I’m sure he’ll take seriously,” she added with a sly smile, reaching forward to gently run her finger along Donald’s beard.Aaron clenched his jaw and rolled his eyes so hard it almost hurt. The sight of Elise playing doting partner in front of his father made him nauseous. He had seen too many sides of her—none of which were as sweet as the one she was putting on right now“You know we’re at work,” Donald muttered, pulling slightly away from Elise’s tou

    *A few moments before he left…*Aaron stood in front of the tall mirror, tugging at the ends of his black tie with quiet focus. His expression was unreadable, his sharp jaw tightening every few seconds. He had done this a hundred times before, but something about today made his hands slower, less steady.Then came a knock at the door.He didn’t bother to respond—whoever it was would probably walk in anyway. And sure enough, a moment later, the door creaked open and Margaret stepped into the room. Her heels tapped softly against the floors.Aaron glanced back briefly, confirming it was his mother, before returning his attention to the tie. “Mother,” he said with a dry tone. “I see you decided to knock this time.”“We’ve talked about this,” she said as she strode closer. “Anytime I come to visit, I’m not knocking. I come in whenever I want.”Aaron smirked faintly, his eyes still locked on his reflection. “And boundaries continue to mean absolutely nothing.”Margaret waved off his remark

    “What happened to keeping to the rules and respecting boundaries?” Raina snapped, standing in front of Aaron, the toothpaste was still in her hand like it was the last straw holding her sanity together.Aaron groggily rubbed his eyes, still adjusting to the early morning light. His voice was husky and indifferent. “What is this?”Without hesitation, she raised the mangled tube of toothpaste to his face like it was damning evidence in court.“Why did you touch my toothpaste?” she demanded, her brows furrowed and her tone sharp.He blinked at her, then let out a short, amused laugh. “Wait—hold on. So you decided to cause all this drama this morning over… toothpaste?”“Yes,” Raina shot back, not missing a beat, “One that I specifically made it clear you should stay away from.”Aaron scoffed, shaking his head like she was being ridiculous. “Let’s rephrase that, Mrs. You told me not to touch a toothpaste that I bought? Do you even hear how crazy that sounds?”“That’s not the point!” Raina’

    “Now that we’re done with that,” Aaron said, his eyes still glued to the tablet in his hand, his fingers swiping through the notifications as if she wasn’t even there, “you can leave. I have a lot of things to do. And like I told you—use tomorrow to prepare. I want you looking your best.”His tone was dismissive, he didn’t even take a single look at her directionRaina stared at him for a beat longer than she should have, as if she was waiting for him to acknowledge her properly, but it was pointless. She sighed inwardly, turned on her heels, and let herself out of his office without saying another word.Once the door shut behind her, she paused. For a few moments, she just stood in the hallway, She was going to be nothing more than a handbag for the next few months. Dressed up. Paraded around. Expected to smile, nod, and be silent. The realization sank in like a stone in water, heavy and cold in her stomach.“Do you need something, ma’am?”The unexpected voice pulled her from her tho
