Nicholas stood at the window of his office, staring down at the busy street below without really seeing any of it. Behind him, his lead adviser, a thin, nervous man named Ferris, shuffled papers quietly on the desk, waiting for Nicholas to speak first.

"Tell me again," Nicholas said slowly, not turning around, "how three of my longtime business partners suddenly decided this week that they need to distance themselves from me."

Ferris cleared his throat carefully. "They did not give exact reason

    Genevieve had only meant to borrow a pen from Sebastian's study, nothing more. He had stepped out briefly to take a call, and she wandered in quietly, scanning the neat rows of drawers along the side of his desk, searching for something simple to write with. She pulled open the top drawer, expecting nothing but paperclips and spare pens, but instead, her eyes landed on something that made her pause completely.A small folded piece of paper sat tucked carefully in the corner of the drawer, slightly worn at the edges. She recognized her own handwriting immediately, a quick note she had scribbled weeks earlier during one of their strategy meetings, reminding him about a phone call he needed to return before noon. It was such a small, meaningless thing. She was certain he would have thrown it away within minutes of reading it.Beside it sat another note, this one even smaller, just a few words she had written one evening when they were reviewing wedding vendor contracts, a joke about Aunt

    The kitchen smelled faintly of fresh coffee when Genevieve walked downstairs that morning, still tying the belt of her robe, her hair loose and slightly messy from sleep. She paused in the doorway, blinking in surprise at the sight of a warm cup already sitting on the counter, exactly where she usually stood, made exactly the way she liked it, two sugars, a small splash of cream, nothing more."How did you know I would be down at this exact time?" she asked, walking over slowly and picking up the cup.Sebastian sat at the table, scrolling through something on his phone, though a small smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. "You come down every morning around this time," he said simply. "I noticed."Genevieve took a slow sip, surprised at how perfectly it matched what she would have made for herself. "You remembered how I take my coffee.""It is not difficult information to retain," Sebastian said, though something in his tone suggested he had paid closer attention than he wanted to

    The conference room buzzed with quiet excitement that morning, a different energy than the careful, tense meetings Genevieve had grown used to over the past few weeks. A tall executive named Preston stood near the front of the room, clicking through slides filled with bright green numbers and confident projections, his voice smooth and practiced as he walked through the details of a potential acquisition."Halden Manufacturing," Preston said, gesturing toward the screen. "Profitable for six straight years. Strong client base. Excellent growth potential in the coming decade. This is, without question, one of the strongest acquisition opportunities we have seen this year."Around the table, several senior executives nodded in agreement, murmuring quiet approval. Genevieve sat quietly beside Sebastian, listening carefully, though something about the numbers on the screen tugged uncomfortably at the back of her mind. She told herself it was nothing, that everyone in the room clearly saw s

    Genevieve stood in front of the mirror that morning, smoothing down the front of her navy blue blazer, feeling a strange nervousness settle into her stomach that she had not expected. Sebastian had asked her to join him at his office for a meeting with investors, and though he had explained it simply the night before, something about the idea still made her hands feel unsteady."You will only need to sit beside me," Sebastian had told her the night before, though she noticed now that he had not actually promised that at all.When she walked into the large glass conference room later that morning, six people were already seated around the long table, folders and laptops spread out in front of them. Sebastian stood near the head of the table, and the moment he saw her, he smiled warmly and gestured toward the seat directly beside his own, not somewhere off to the side, not somewhere quiet and forgettable."Everyone," Sebastian said, his voice calm and confident as the room settled, "thi

    Nicholas stood at the window of his office, staring down at the busy street below without really seeing any of it. Behind him, his lead adviser, a thin, nervous man named Ferris, shuffled papers quietly on the desk, waiting for Nicholas to speak first."Tell me again," Nicholas said slowly, not turning around, "how three of my longtime business partners suddenly decided this week that they need to distance themselves from me."Ferris cleared his throat carefully. "They did not give exact reasons, sir. But given everything that has happened with the wedding sabotage, I believe they are worried about being caught in the middle of whatever conflict is growing between you and Mr. Voss."Nicholas turned sharply, his eyes narrowing. "They are afraid of him.""It appears that way, sir," Ferris admitted.Nicholas let out a short, humorless laugh, running a hand roughly through his hair. "I built relationships with those men for years. Years, Ferris. And the moment Sebastian Voss raises an eye

    The doorbell rang loudly through the quiet house, and Genevieve looked up from the notebook in her lap, confused for a moment since she was not expecting any visitors that afternoon. She walked toward the door slowly, and the moment she pulled it open, a bright, familiar voice filled the entryway before she even had time to react."There she is!" Aunt Gigi shouted, throwing her arms wide open. "Look at you! Look at that glow!"Genevieve barely had time to smile before Gigi pulled her into a tight, warm hug, squeezing her so hard that Genevieve laughed out loud, a real laugh that surprised even herself. "Aunt Gigi, what are you doing here?""Visiting my favorite niece," Gigi said, pulling back to hold Genevieve at arm's length, studying her carefully from head to toe. "And clearly, I did not need to worry as much as I did. Look at you. You look better than you have in years."Genevieve felt heat rise to her cheeks. "I look the same as always.""You do not," Gigi said firmly, shaking he
