Alessandro’s POV

I typed in my passcode and unlocked the door. I can hear the hum of my mother already, I had forgotten she forwarded me a message stating she would drop by.

“Hello, slumberer," my mother sang as I strolled into the living room, spotting Micah lounging on the settee. “Seems like somebody is carrying the world on his back”

“Mom,” I said, dropping my briefcase by the door. “Be nice. He is exhausted, not a punching bag.”

Micah groaned, leaning back into the cushions. “I am fine. Just… long day.”

“You consistently say that,” my mother joked, sitting on an armchair. “Come on, tell me everything.”

I nudged Micah lightly with my elbow. “Go on. Do not hold back. How was the visit?”

Micah gave me a small smile, still looking tired. “It was good. My father was calm. Normal, even. We just talked… you know, father-son stuff. Nothing dramatic, nothing crazy.”

My mother’s eyes softened. “That is good to hear. You need that sometimes, a little normalcy.”

“I know,” Micah said, stretc

  • Straight Until Him   Knives on the Table

    Alessandro’s POV“I still can’t believe we are doing this,” I whisper as the car slows in front of the Duvall mansion.Micah exhales like someone walking into a warzone. “It is just dinner. A normal regular dinner.”“Yeah. With your sis who happens to be my ex fiancée, your mom who hates me, and your dad fresh out of prison. Sounds relaxing.” I mutter, under my breathe.“Keep that sarcasm to yourself or she will throw you out before dessert.” Micah retorts.“I will take my chances.” I utter.Sandra turns around from the passenger seat, her tone sharp. “Can the two of you shut up before I change my mind about bringing you.”I smirk. “You love us too much to do that.”She rolls her eyes but does not deny it.When the car stops, Mrs. Duvall is already at the door, dressed in pearls and tension. Her posture is perfect, her eyes colder than marble.I do not understand how her car reached here before us since we all left the prison center at the same time.“Well,” Mrs. Duvall says, glancing

  • Straight Until Him   When the Past Walks Out the Gate

    Sandra’s POV“Stop fixing my tie, Micah. I can do it myself.”“You say that every time, and every time you do it wrong.”“I am not a child.”“Then stop acting like one.”“I hate you.”“You love me.”Alessandro laughs from the couch. “If this is how you two act before a press conference, I am terrified to see what happens at board meetings.”I glare. “You do not get to talk, mister ‘I own five ties and still borrow Micah’s.’”He lifts his hands. “Fair.”Micah straightens my collar one last time, then nods. “There. The new CEO of Duvall Enterprise.”I exhale. “Feels weird hearing that.”“It suits you.”“You sure?”“Absolutely. And for the record, Dad already said he is proud of you.”“I know.” My voice softens. “He is the only one who always said that, even after everything.”“You earned it this time.”“Do not make me cry, idiot. I have mascara on.”“Then stop being sentimental and go conquer the media.”Later, at the conference hall.“Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. It is an honor

  • Straight Until Him   Chaos, Caffeine, and Concrete Dreams

    Micah’s POV“Get up.”“It is Saturday, Micah.”“I know. That is why you should get up.”“Whatever you are planning, it is too early for it.”“Alessandro, trust me, you will thank me later.”“Last time you said that, we ended up in a warehouse full of fake leather samples.”“That was market research.”“That was trauma.”“Okay, okay… no fake leather this time. Just… greatness.”“I already do not like the sound of this.”“Shut up and wear something decent. You are not stepping into this place in pajama pants.”“Define decent.”“Anything that does not scream unemployed."“Wow, inspirational.”“Move it!”Thirty minutes later“Okay, now tell me where we are going.”“You will see.”“You have said that five times now.”“And you have complained six times, so technically I am winning.”“Micah.”“Relax, bro. You trust me, right?”“No.”“Ouch.”“Last time you ‘surprised’ me, we almost got banned from a café.”“That barista had an attitude.”“She had a knife.”“Semantics.”“Micah.”“Fine! I am tak

  • Straight Until Him   Blueprint in Motion

    Alessandro’s POV“Okay, I am not gonna lie, this place smells like ambition and burnt coffee.”“You sure that is not just your cologne?”“Please. My cologne smells like success. This smells like someone has been trying to build a startup on four hours of sleep and cheap caffeine.”“That is… exactly what we are doing.”“Touché.”Micah drops his bag on the table and grins. “Still can’t believe it, though. Novaré. It is happening.”“Feels surreal, does it not? One idea, one revolutionary conversation in you’re the penthouse, and now…”“Now we are sitting in a co working space that costs more per month than my first car.”“Your first car was a death trap with wheels.”“It had character!”“It had smoke coming out of the hood.”“Tomato, tomahto.”I shake my head, trying not to laugh. “You sure this is the right spot though? We could have gone for something smaller, less flashy.”Micah leans back, scanning the wide glass windows overlooking the city. “Nah. This is perfect. Look at that view.

  • Straight Until Him   The Weight of a Crown

    Micah’s POVThe boardroom was already tense when I walked in. Eyes followed me as I took my seat at the head of the table.“Thank you all for coming on such short notice.”“That is what emergency meetings are for, is it not?” Mr. Kellan leaned back, smirking. “I hope it is not another press crisis.”“Not this time.”“Then what is it?” one of the older shareholders asked. “You sounded… final on the phone.”“It is final.”A hush spread across the table.“I have made a decision,” I said, steady. “I am stepping down as CEO of Duvall Enterprises.”“What?” several voices at once.“Stepping down?” Kellan’s voice cut through the confusion.“It has been a privilege leading this company,” I continued, ignoring his tone, “but this position was never meant to be permanent. I took the role because the company needed stability. It has that now.”“Who put this idea in your head?” someone muttered.“I do not need anyone to make my decisions for me.”“Micah,” one of the board members, Mrs. Collins, sa

  • Straight Until Him   Roses and Regrets

    Sandra’s POVThe others had gone inside, but I stayed. The garden was too peaceful to leave; especially with the smell of roses everywhere.I did not expect anyone else to be there until I heard a soft voice behind me.“You like roses, do you not?”“I… do. They remind me of home.”“Ah, then your home must have been beautiful.”“Not really. My mother loved orchids. Roses were not… her thing.”“Orchids are elegant, but roses are honest. They bleed when you touch them, but they still bloom.”“That is… poetic. Do you talk to everyone like this, Mrs. Romano?”“Only the ones who look like they are hiding a storm behind their smile.”“So I look like a storm?”“More like someone who survived one.”“…I guess that is close enough.”“Come, sit.”“I do not want to intrude…”“Nonsense. You are Alessandro’s past, are you not? That makes you part of our story too.”“That is one way to put it.”“And yet you are still here, sharing brunch with us. I take it that means bridges were not entirely burned?
