Third person's POV

The building stood on the corner of Fifth and Madison like a forgotten promise. Six stories of brick and grime, windows boarded up, graffiti crawling across the lower walls like urban ivy. But Jackson saw past all that. He always had been able to see potential where others saw problems.

"This is it?" Liam asked, stepping out of the car and staring up at the structure.

"This is it," Jackson confirmed, grinning like a kid on Christmas morning. "Our first official property."

Janet was already at the entrance, clipboard in hand, talking to a man in a hard hat who looked like he had been renovating buildings since before any of them were born. She waved them over.

"Liam, Jackson, this is Marcus Hendricks. He is the lead contractor. Marcus, these are the owners."

Marcus shook their hands with a grip that could crush stone. "Good to meet you both. I have been doing this for thirty years, and I have to say, this building has excellent bones. Someone built this right back i

    Note: It's explicitly written. Third person's POV Liam turned back and locked the door behind him. He stood there. “Hey,” Jackson said, leaning back slightly, voice roughened by exhaustion. “What do I owe this visit for?”“Does there have to be a reason?” Liam’s tone was light, but his eyes weren’t. They tracked Jackson the way a storm tracks the horizon. “I missed you.”Jackson exhaled, half amused, half resigned. “We saw each other this morning.”“That was breakfast,” Liam said, stepping closer. “This is something else.”He crossed the room slowly, his presence pulling the air tight. The scent of rain lingered on his clothes, faint and clean. Jackson didn’t move. He told himself he should, he always told himself that, but the truth was simpler: he wanted this. When Liam reached him, he didn’t ask permission. His fingers brushed Jackson’s shoulder, then slid down, finding the edge of his sleeve. That small touch burned more than any kiss could have.“You should be resting,” Jac

    Third person's POV Astor Sinclair sat across from Barrister Lincoln in the private study of the Sinclair mansion. The room was all dark wood and leather, the kind of space designed to intimidate. He dropped the glass of wine in his hand onto the side table with more force than necessary and growled under his breath. He felt betrayed that even the man who had been his lawyer for over a decade could not fight harder for him. But he honestly understood that when things reached this point, he had to fight for himself."What do you want to know?" Astor asked, his voice tight with frustration.Barrister Lincoln leaned forward in his chair, his hands folded on the desk between them. "What do I want to know? Come on, I thought I told you everything already.""Okay. It was not something I would have willingly discussed, but I cannot state everything other than what I have already stated. You are the one being indecisive here. So tell me what you want and I will reply to you." Astor's tone was

    Third Person's POVAvery was still asleep when Viviana walked into the bedroom carrying fresh towels. The room wasn't as spacious as Avery's old bedroom at the Sinclair mansion, with its walk-in closet and sitting area and views of the estate gardens. But this apartment was clean, modern, and would be more than enough space for anyone who possessed even a shred of gratitude."Good morning, ma'am," Viviana said softly, setting the towels on the dresser."Morning, Viviana." Avery's voice was muffled by her pillow. "Have you prepared my bath yet?""No, ma'am. I'm working on it right now."Avery sat up abruptly, her hair a mess around her face. "What are you ever good at? Tell me, because you know damn well I have an appointment with the new medical doctor this morning."Viviana kept her expression neutral, though Avery's words stung. "There was a power outage in this neighborhood earlier. The electricity only came back twenty minutes ago. I had to call Mr. Astor Sinclair, who contacted t

    Third Person's POV"Liam, you need to stop thinking like a bitch," Astor Sinclair spat the words like poison. "I raised you to be a better son, not some gay failure.""I'm sorry, but you can't change who I am," Liam yelled back at his father, his voice echoing through his apartment. "You don't get to show up here after disowning me and tell me how to live my life."They stood in Liam's living room like two fighters in a ring, neither willing to back down. Astor's face was red with rage and something else. Desperation, maybe. Or fear."I'm still your father.""You stopped being my father the day you threw me out of the family." Liam's hands were clenched into fists at his sides. "You held a press conference and told the world I was a disgrace. You can't take that back now.""I can do whatever I want.""No, you can't. That's your problem. You think money and power mean you can control everything." Liam stepped closer. "But you can't control this. You can't control me."Astor's jaw tight

    Third person's POV Jackson walked into his corner office, the city. The glass walls reflected his own image back at him, tailored suit, confident stride, the kind of presence that made people move out of his way.His personal assistant, Vivian, was waiting by his desk. She was new, recruited just three weeks ago from MIT's top graduates. Sharp as a blade, efficient beyond measure, with the kind of organizational skills that made running a major corporation feel almost manageable."Sir, you are back?" she asked, straightening papers that were already perfectly aligned."Yes. So tell me, Vivian. What is my schedule for today?"She rattled off a list: board meeting at two, called Singapore at four, investor dinner at seven, email approvals for the Riverside project. It was a full day, the kind that would have destroyed him months ago but now felt like routine."Shift the board meeting to three and push the investor dinner to tomorrow night," Jackson said. "Everything else stays.""Okay,
