Jane sat across from Marcus with one leg crossed over the other, slowly stirring coffee she had stopped drinking ten minutes ago.

Marcus was scrolling through something on his tablet.

"I have a surprise for you," Marcus said.

She looked at him, uninterested."I don't like surprises."

"You'll like this one." He lowered his phone slightly. "Remember days ago you asked me to find out about the man in the photograph. The one with Evelyn at the LUXE event you saw online."

She went still. "Daniel Mars

    London knew something big was coming.Barricades surrounded the Fashion Week venue. Fashion trucks lined the streets while photographers fought over the best spots. Reporters stood outside rehearsing interviews, and people had already started queuing even though the show wasn't until tomorrow."Tomorrow night, all eyes will be on LUXE," one presenter said into the camera. "Founder and creative director Evelyn Cole is making her London Fashion Week debut, and many are already calling it the most anticipated show of the season."Not far away, two women looked at the giant poster hanging outside the venue."I heard the entire front row is sold out.""It sold out in twenty minutes.""I've been waiting months for this show.""So has everyone else."Backstage was

    Damien's supermarket was not really his supermarket.It was a small organic grocery that he had invested in three years ago because the founder had a good idea and needed capital and Damien had learned early that the best investments were the ones nobody else thought were interesting yet.He came in occasionally today, not to check on things, just because it was on his way and the coffee they sold was genuinely good.He was standing near the back reading something on his phone and waiting for his order when he saw her come in.He recognised her immediately.He watched her pick up a basket without particularly deciding to watch her.She looked different today. Less assistant, more person; hair down, coat that wasn't a work coat, the slightly unfocused energy of someone who had n

    Priya had been home for eleven minutes.She had taken her heels off at the door, put the kettle on, and was in the middle of unpinning her hair when the knock came.She wasn't expecting anyone.She went to the door and opened it without checking first because this was a building with a secure entrance and a concierge downstairs and nobody got up here without being buzzed in.Jane Smith was standing in the corridor.Priya looked at her.Jane looked back.For a moment neither of them said anything."Hellodear," Jane said pleasantly. "Priya, isn't it?""It is," Priya said,still very suprised as to what this was about."May I come in?"Priya looked at her for a moment. At the coat, the composure. She knew exactly how this conversation was going to go.She stepped aside.Jane came in.She looked around the flat with the casual assessment of someone - not rudely, just thoro

    Marcus had never liked hospitals and disliked them even more tonight. The doctor had insisted on stitching the cut above his eyebrow. His mother had insisted on X-rays and his sister had cried the entire time. Marcus ignored all of them. As soon as they finished everything, he walked out. One eye swollen, his lip was split. His ribs hurting every time he breathed. He drove himself anyway. Half an

    Priya gave him the address in the car. It wasn't really hard for her to find it with a few calls.Aidan got out of the car without turning off the engine.Priya called after him. "Sir, be careful—"He didn't hear her.He went up the steps two at a time. He found the buzzer marked WEBB and pressed it and didn't let go.A woman's voice came through, surprised. "Hello?"He didn't answer. He pressed it again.Marcus walked toward the front door, loosening the tie around his neck.It had been a long day, I mean he went to see Jane and they had a time and he went to run some errands. "It's probably the post office, I'll just-"He pulled the door open.His smile immediately disappeared.Aidan. Standing there.Expressionless.Marcus barely had enough time to register the look on his face.When Aidan's fist crashed into his jaw.The force sent Marcus stumbling backward into the living room table. A decorative vase toppled over and shattered across the floor.His ears rang.Blood immediately fil

    Aidan drove all the way to AS Tech with one question in his head.What could possibly be so urgent that Priya was so hesitant about it?Priya never spoke that way unless it mattered, so he was hoping for something good.The drive back from the business meeting was oddly unsatisfying. He should be more excited that the partnership had finally been signed after more than a year of negotiations, instead, his mind kept drifting back to her.Evelyn's face, her tears, the pain in her voice when she told him to leave.“Stay away from my son.” He could still feel the angst in it.He gripped the steering wheel harder.The car rolled into the underground parking garage of AS Tech.As soon as he stepped out, his phone rang.It was Jane.He stared at the screen for a few seconds before answering."Baby..." Jane's voice came through quickly. "W-where are you right now?"Aidan rolled his eyes. "I just got back from a meeting.""Oh." There was a pause."So... where are you now?"Aidan frowned slight
