Steven’s cell phone vibrated on his desk. After making sure the room was quiet, he picked it up and pressed a saved number. His voice sounded cautious, yet full of determination.

“Hello, Uncle Faisal?” he whispered.

On the other end, the deep voice of a middle-aged man was heard. “Steven? It’s been a long time since you last called me.”

Steven took a deep breath, staring at the large window in front of him. “I have a big plan, and I want to involve you.”

“A big plan?” Faisal asked in a probing tone. “Explain.”

Steven leaned back in his chair. “You know Nathan, right? All of the Drake family’s wealth fell into his hands. Even that big company is entirely under his control. I’m sick of seeing him always glorified. When in fact, both of us are also descendants of this family.”

Faisal’s voice turned slightly cold. “Do you think I don’t know? I am Clara’s brother. Since the beginning, I have only been considered a shadow. All the inheritance went to Clara, then passed on to Nathan. While I

    The meeting room at the design office that afternoon felt warm with sunlight. Olivia sat at the end of the long table with several sheets of the newly made ground-floor sketches. Even though her eyes were slightly puffy from lack of sleep, her expression remained professional.The door opened and a middle-aged man walked in with steady steps.“Good afternoon, Miss Olivia,” the man greeted warmly.“Good afternoon, Mr. Veer,” Olivia replied as she stood and shook his hand.Mr. Veer immediately sat down and looked at the neatly arranged papers. “Wow, I’m really curious. You said this is still in the sketch phase?”Olivia nodded. “Yes, Sir. I’ve only finished the rough outline of the ground floor. But I’ve already created the flow concept to keep it efficient for the 500 units later.”Mr. Veer already looked enthusiastic even before touching the papers. “May I see it?”“Please.”As soon as he pulled the sketch closer, Mr. Veer’s eyes brightened. He leaned forward, examining every detail o

    — Olivia sat in her workspace, staring at the laptop screen that was still blank. The worksheet for the twelve-story apartment project with 500 units had been open since morning, yet she hadn’t managed to draw a single line. Her sketch pencil lay beside her hand, completely untouched.Her mind was still filled with the sound of hospital machines, the smell of antiseptic, and the doctor’s words that kept repeating in her head.“Mr. Arnold’s condition is very critical… we will try, but medically… please prepare yourself.”Those words made her chest tighten every time she remembered them.The office door was knocked softly.“Liv?” Elena’s gentle voice called. “Mommy’s coming in, okay?”Olivia only nodded without turning her head. Elena walked in with Tamara, who carried a cup of hot chocolate.“We made this so you don’t sit here stressing alone,” Tamara said as she set the cup down.Olivia gave a small smile. “Thank you, Mommy Tamara.”Elena stepped closer and sat beside the desk. “You

    The hospital corridor was still filled with the smell of medicine and the soft beeping of medical equipment. Olivia sat on the metal chair in front of the ICU room, holding Arnold’s hand that was connected to an IV. Her eyes were swollen, but she tried to stay strong.“I’m here, Arn…” she whispered softly. “I won’t go anywhere.”Even though Arnold’s body did not move at all, the heart monitor beside him continued to beep steadily but weakly. Olivia gently stroked his cold cheek, hoping he would open his eyes.Elena stood near the door, watching her daughter with a sad expression. “Liv, you need to eat first, Sweetheart. You haven’t eaten anything since this morning.”Olivia shook her head without looking at her. “I’m not hungry, Mom.”Nathan approached. “Liv, you need strength. Arnold would want you to take care of yourself.”“I don’t want to leave him, Daddy. Arnold is scared of dark rooms, he once told me. If he wakes up later, he’ll panic if I’m not here.”Elena pressed her lips to

    Queen Elisabeth’s boutique was busy that afternoon. Several tailors walked back and forth carrying fabrics, while an assistant was arranging beads on the long table. Olivia stood in front of the large mirror with a bright expression on her face.“Mom… this is so beautiful,” she said, holding the waistline of the white dress that was only half finished.Elena—known to everyone as Queen Elisabeth—smiled with satisfaction. “Of course it’s beautiful. Who do you think Mommy is?”Olivia giggled. “Yes, yes… I fully trust you on that.”Elena stepped closer, adjusting a bit of the dress around the shoulder. “Are you comfortable? Anything too tight?”“No, it’s perfect. I love the design. Simple but elegant.”Elena nodded. “That’s because you don’t like anything complicated. Mommy purposely made it without too many embellishments so you can move freely.”Olivia gave a warm smile. “Thanks, Mom.”Meanwhile, Arnold was driving toward the boutique. On the passenger seat was a small box containing th

    The next morning, the atmosphere in the small office where Olivia and Arnold worked felt quite busy. Olivia opened her laptop while checking several initial design files she needed to bring to a client meeting. Arnold had just arrived carrying two cups of coffee.“This is for you,” he said, placing one cup on Olivia’s desk.“Thanks.” Olivia smiled and took a small sip right away. “Who’s the meeting with today? You haven’t had the chance to tell me.”Arnold pulled his chair closer. “They said it’s a new client. Not a big company, but the project is decent. They want a concept for their dream home.”Olivia nodded. “Okay. Hopefully the brief is clear, because I don’t want to do five rounds of revisions like last time.”Arnold chuckled. “Relax. They said the assistant will explain everything first. The boss rarely shows up.”Just as Olivia was about to ask more, the office secretary knocked on the door. “Young Master Arnold, Young Lady Olivia, the client has arrived. They’re waiting in th

    JFK Airport was crowded that afternoon, but the atmosphere felt different for Elena. She stood while clutching her small bag, unable to stay still as she waited for the arrival gate to open. Nathan stood beside her with his usual calm demeanor, though he glanced at his wife from time to time, noticing how nervous she looked.“Relax, Honey. Olivia will come out any minute now,” Nathan said, gently patting Elena’s shoulder.Elena let out a long breath. “I know… but I still can’t help feeling anxious. Our daughter hasn’t come home in such a long time. And now she’s coming back as—”“A master in construction design/architecture,” Nathan cut in with a smile. “Sounds impressive, doesn’t it?”Elena smiled, her eyes glistening. “I’m so proud. She truly made her dream come true.”A few seconds later, the automatic doors in front of them slid open. Passengers began to pour out. Elena immediately straightened her posture, her eyes scanning every face eagerly.“Mom!” Olivia’s voice rang out clear
