LEAHI blinked, genuine surprise hitting me at the audacity of his question."Whoever I’m talking to is none of your business," I said, my voice sharp and steady as I held his intense, burning glare from across the desk. "We are here strictly on confidential business, Mr. Asher. You explicitly made it clear that you have no interest in my personal life, and I expect the exact same professional courtesy from you in return."Asher’s broad jaw tightened, a hard flicker of annoyance crossing his features before he leaned back into his executive chair. "I am not interested in knowing about your personal life," he bit out coldly, dismissing me with a flat wave of his hand."Good," I murmured, keeping my posture rigid. "Now, if you’ll excuse me."I turned on my heel without waiting for another word and walked straight out of his home office, pulling the door shut firmly behind me.I navigated the wide, quiet hallway of the penthouse until I reached the spacious guest suite assigned to me.

ASHERI stood by the floor to ceiling glass window of my penthouse, looking straight down at the private driveway seventy floors below.A sleek black car pulled up to the curb right on time. The rear door swung open, and Leah stepped out onto the concrete, holding a messenger bag across her shoulder and a luggage. I lifted the white ceramic cup in my hand, taking a slow sip and gulping down the bitter dark coffee as my gaze remained pinned to her every movement. Two of my security detail stepped out from the main entrance, falling into step on either side of her as they escorted her into the building."So determined to work with me, are you?" I whispered under my breath, the cool glass window fogging slightly from my warm breath. A dark edge touched my thoughts. "Well, Leah... let's see what you’re truly capable of doing."I turned away from the panoramic city view, crossing the wide hardwood floor toward my executive desk. I threw myself back into the chair, setting the empty ceramic

LEAHI pushed through the glass doors of the firm, my heels clicking against the polished floor of the lobby."Leah! Good morning, Leah!"The director was already waiting near my desk, wringing his hands together with a tight, nervous energy that instantly made my stomach turn. "Mr. Asher is coming today," he said, his voice hushed and hurried as he hovered over my workstation. "He confirmed the meeting just a few minutes ago. I need you to prepare all your past projects right now. Everything. Every single blueprint, every concept design, every major render you’ve ever completed. Have them lined up and ready on the big screen in the main conference room before he steps foot on this floor.""I'm on it," I replied, setting my purse down and pulling up my master archives on the monitor. My fingers flew across the keyboard, organizing and transferring the high-resolution files over to the presentation tablet.It didn't take long before the glass doors at the end of the corridor swung wide

LEAHI still couldn’t believe I had seen Asher today.Seeing him after eight long years had completely thrown my entire day into total chaos. My mind kept pulling me back to that conference room, back to the crushing weight of his cold stare and the suffocating silence that had settled between us. What made it worse was the reality resting squarely on my shoulders: I had to convince him to take on this project. I dread every single second of what lies ahead, but there is absolutely nothing I can do to avoid it. My entire career depends on this partnership going through.I paced back and forth across the floor of my apartment, my restless footsteps echoing in the quiet room. My mind churned with endless arguments I should have made, words I should have said, and ways I could present the blueprints to his inbox tonight without letting our personal history ruin everything.A buzz broke the silence, vibrating against the glass table.I stopped in my tracks and picked up my phone. A text m

ASHERI couldn’t believe Leah was sitting right in front of me.Eight years. Eight long, agonizing years since the girl had walked completely away from my life without looking back, leaving me behind.She looked different now. Completely different. The soft, hesitant edges of her youth were entirely gone, replaced by a quiet breathtaking maturity and elegance that made her so painfully beautiful my chest tightened until it genuinely hurt to breathe. My fingers inside my suit pockets clenched into tight fists as I took her in, trying to reconcile the raw memory of the broken girl who tore my world apart with the calm, dignified woman sitting across the glass table today. Every breath I took felt tight but I kept my posture rigid and my jaw locked, refusing to let a single crack show in my surface.I flicked my wrist slowly, checking the polished face of my silver watch before pushing my chair back and standing up to my full height, towering over the meeting room. "I’ve got somewhere to

LEAHToday was the big day. Our architecture firm was holding a crucial meeting, and we were finally sitting down with the high profile business associate our company was partnering with on the massive new deal.I stood in front of the full length mirror near the hallway, checking my tailored suit one last time and smoothing down the lapels of my jacket."You look completely presentable, Leah," Emilia assured me, stepping up behind my reflection with an encouraging smile."Thanks," I murmured, turning around to pull her into a quick, warm hug. I leaned down right after to give little Maya a tight squeeze, holding her close against my shoulder. I looked up at Emilia with concern. "Are you sure you’re going to be alright?""I’ll be fine," she said, giving my hand a reassuring squeeze before glancing at her phone. "I really need to leave for the airport now, though." She pointed a playful finger in my direction, her eyes lighting up. "Just make sure you update me with whatever goes down
