The glass doors of Silvercrest Entertainment Agency slammed shut behind Sophia Bennett as she strode down the hallway.

Her heels struck the marble floor in sharp, furious beats.

Inside Lydia Hale's private office, the atmosphere was already tense, thick with unspoken accusations and barely contained fury.

Lydia stood beside the massive floor-to-ceiling window overlooking downtown Silvermont City, her silhouette sharp against the afternoon light. Her arms were crossed tightly over her chest, man

    Bianca slowly straightened from where Sebastian had caught her before she could collapse. Her hand still clutched her chest, fingers pressed against the silk of her blouse as though she could physically steady her racing heart. Each breath came shallow and quick, her composure hanging by the thinnest of threads. The room seemed to tilt around her, the familiar contours of Lucas's office suddenly feeling foreign and hostile.She blinked hard, willing the world back into focus. Years of maintaining perfect control in boardrooms and social gatherings had prepared her for many things, but not this. Never this.Her eyes locked onto Axel with an intensity that would have made lesser men flinch. The air between them crackled with unspoken tension. In that moment, she looked every inch the formidable woman who had built an empire alongside her husband, except now that foundation felt as though it were crumbling beneath her feet."Repeat," she said slowly, each word measured and deliberate. He

    Ethan ran straight into the dining room, his small feet padding urgently across the hardwood floor.The entire Grant family looked up in surprise, forks pausing mid-air.The boy almost never left his room once dinner ended, it had become an unspoken rule in their household, one that saddened them all. Yet here he was, standing beside the table with his father's phone clutched tightly in his small hands, his knuckles white with determination.He lifted the screen toward his plate, then toward his mouth, then pointed again with jerky, uncertain movements.Bianca blinked, her heart suddenly racing. "You're asking for food?"Ethan nodded quickly, his dark hair falling into his eyes.Bianca stared at him in disbelief, feeling tears prick at the corners of her eyes. This child had barely touched his dinner earlier, pushing the food around his plate in that heartbreaking way that had become so familiar. Yet now he was asking for food on his own… actually communicating a need.Before anyone c

    On the other side of the screen, Nina tilted her head slightly, studying the boy's animated gestures.Ethan was trying to explain something, his small hands moving with the urgency only a child could muster.But the words clearly weren't cooperating… they tumbled out in fragments, half-formed and tangled.He pointed at the screen with one determined finger. Then he swung around and pointed at the clock behind him, its hands showing well past his usual bedtime. Then back at the screen again, as if the repetition would somehow make his meaning clearer.Nina blinked, piecing together his wordless complaint. "…Wait," she said, realization dawning on her face. She squinted at him, a mixture of amusement and guilt flickering in her eyes. "You're saying I called late?"Ethan nodded immediately, his whole body bobbing with the motion.Then he folded his little arms across his chest like he was genuinely offended, his bottom lip jutting out just slightly.Nina stared at him for a moment, takin

    Axel coughed… a nervous, awkward sound that betrayed his discomfort. Sweat had already begun forming along his hairline, trickling down his temple despite the cool evening air. Across the dinner table, Bianca's eyes remained fixed on him like a hawk watching prey, unblinking and intense."Go on," she said slowly, her voice deceptively calm. "Finish what you were saying."Axel swallowed hard, his throat suddenly dry. Then he forced a laugh that came out strangled and unconvincing."Actually… Mom, it's nothing."Lucas calmly continued eating, his fork moving with deliberate precision as though the conversation didn't concern him at all.Axel wiped his forehead with his sleeve, the fabric coming away damp. "What I meant was…" He hesitated, choosing his words carefully. "Yesterday a woman approached Lucas and confessed her love to him."Bianca blinked, her expression shifting from suspicion to surprise.Axel quickly continued before she could interrupt. "And he rejected her," he added, ho

    The atmosphere in Grant Estate's dining room had grown noticeably quieter.Moments earlier, Bianca Grant had been passionately lecturing her eldest son about marriage, her voice animated with maternal concern and barely concealed exasperation.Now her attention had shifted elsewhere.To Ethan.The boy sat beside Lucas, small and quiet in his chair, almost swallowed by the ornate dining furniture that seemed designed for adults twice his size.His plate remained almost untouched, the carefully prepared meal growing cold. And in his small hands, he held Lucas's phone like it was the most precious object in the world, his fingers curled protectively around its edges.Bianca frowned, a crease forming between her brows."Ethan."No response.She tried again, softening her tone to the gentle lilt she reserved for the boy."Sweetheart?"Still nothing.The boy didn't even look up, didn't acknowledge her presence with so much as a flicker of his eyes.His gaze remained fixed on the dark screen

    Back at the dinner table, Lucas rubbed his temple, feeling the familiar onset of a tension headache."You mean the woman who tried to seduce me in my office?" he asked, his voice carefully measured.Bianca waved her hand dismissively, as if brushing away an inconvenient fly. "Oh please, she was just being friendly," she said with an airy laugh.Lucas stared at her, wondering if they had witnessed the same encounter. The memory of that particular disaster still made him uncomfortable, the woman had practically cornered him against his desk."Friendly?" he repeated, his tone flat.Sebastian laughed into his wine glass, clearly enjoying the exchange from his safe position as observer.Bianca shot him a withering glare, her eyes flashing with irritation."Oh don't start, Seb," she snapped.She turned back to Lucas, her expression softening into something almost conciliatory. "Well, maybe that one didn't work out," she conceded, though her tone suggested she still didn't see the problem.L
