BRANDON

I was halfway through reviewing the revised recovery projections on my desk when Nia entered my office without knocking, moving fast enough that the door slammed lightly against the wall behind her.

The interruption alone made me look up sharply.

“Sir,” she said, trying to steady her breathing, “the Ravens board just released their final decision.”

I slowly lowered the file in my hand.

The conference room meeting from earlier immediately came back to mind. Clara’s presentation. The awkw

    THALIAHe was just standing beside his black SUV with his hands in his pockets, staring directly at us as though he had been waiting for hours.Adrian followed my gaze and immediately frowned. His expression darkened the longer he looked at Brandon."Now what is he doing here?" he asked, slowing his pace beside me. I let out a sigh and adjusted the strap of my bag on my shoulder. At this point, I was just as tired of Brandon's surprises as everyone else."Only God knows," I muttered. "I've stopped trying to understand why he does half the things he does."By the time we got close enough, the relaxed look Adrian had worn all afternoon was gone."I believe we don't have any meetings scheduled today, Mr. Langford," Adrian said calmly. "If this is business-related, my assistant can arrange something during office hours."Brandon gave a short laugh and shook his head. He didn't even glance at Adrian properly."I have no business with you, Vale. Trust me, if I wanted a meeting, I would've

    THALIAThe next morning, I barely made it to my workstation before somebody grabbed my arm.I looked up and found Olivia standing there with a coffee in one hand and an expression that immediately told me I was in trouble.“Wow,” I said, stopping short. “Good morning to you too.”“Don’t even start.”She grabbed my wrist again and started pulling me toward her office.“Olivia—”“No. Move.”I laughed despite myself.“What is wrong with you?”“What is wrong with me?” she repeated. “What is wrong with YOU?”Several people looked up as she dragged me past them.“Yesterday,” she said dramatically, “while I was home dying from the worst hangover of my life, you were meeting the Ravens Elite.”I groaned immediately."Oh yes, you are not sitting down until you tell me everything."The second we stepped inside properly, she shut the door behind us and turned to face me."I heard Caleb Woods was there yesterday."I stared at her for a second before dropping into the chair across from her desk."

    BRANDON I was losing my mind. The entire morning had been one call after another, and every single conversation somehow managed to be worse than the last. One company wanted to "review the terms of their partnership." Another said they needed time to reassess future collaborations. A third didn't even bother pretending. They all wanted out! I dropped my phone onto the desk and leaned back in my chair, staring at the ceiling for a second before another call started vibrating across the table. The second I saw the company's name, I already knew what the conversation was going to be about. The Ravens Elite. Or more specifically, the fact that The Ravens Elite was no longer working with Langford Biotech. That news alone had done enough damage, but the situation became worse every time someone discovered that Thalia was no longer working here either. People talked. Executives talked even more. By now, half the business world seemed convinced that if Thalia Wentworth had walked

    THALIA The brief introduction ended almost as quickly as it had started. One moment Caleb Wood had walked through the boardroom doors and drawn everyone's attention without even trying, and the next everyone was settling back into their seats and returning to business as though nothing had happened. At least that was the intention. Caleb took the empty seat beside mine, dropping a folder onto the table before glancing my way. "So you're Thalia Wentworth. I looked up from the notebook in front of me. "Last time I checked." The corner of his mouth lifted. "Good. I was starting to think the executives had spent the last two weeks talking about an imaginary person." A few people around the table laughed. One of the executives pointed a pen at him. "We have not." "You absolutely have," Caleb replied without missing a beat. "Every meeting I've attended lately has included at least one sentence about this brilliant lady." "That's because they're the reason this partnership exis

    THALIABy the time I stepped out of my apartment that morning, I felt lighter than I had in weeks.Not because my problems had disappeared.They hadn't.But for the first time in a long time, something good had happened.The Ravens Elite contract was real.Nobody could take that away from me.I slid into my car, dropped my bag onto the passenger seat, and started the engine.The meeting wasn't until later in the morning, but there was somewhere I wanted to go first.The hospital.Traffic was manageable, and forty minutes later I was walking through the familiar entrance with a small bouquet of fresh flowers tucked beneath my arm.A nurse greeted me as I passed the station.I smiled back and continued down the hallway until I reached my mother's room.The room was quiet except for the steady hum of medical equipment.Mom lay exactly where she always was.Still.Peaceful.I pulled a chair closer and sat beside her."Hi, Mom."My fingers wrapped gently around her hand.The skin felt warm

    THALIAA laugh escaped before I could stop it.At first it was only a small sound, but the longer Brandon sat there looking completely serious, the harder it became to take him seriously. I pressed my lips together, shook my head, and looked away, only for another laugh to slip out.“You can’t be serious.”“I am.”That only made it worse.I leaned back against the counter and stared at him. “Brandon, do you hear yourself when you speak?”“Usually.”“You just announced you’re moving into my apartment.”“I said I’m thinking about it.”“That is not better.”His expression didn’t change.Mine did.I threw both hands up in disbelief. “You know what? No. I have reached my daily limit for Brandon Langford nonsense, and it’s not even noon yet.”“The day is still young.”“Please leave.”He looked at me for a moment before setting his mug down.“The earlier you realize home is with me, the easier this will be.”I let out a short laugh and pointed toward the door.“See? That’s exactly the kind
