The morning sun streamed through the windows of the Sinclair estate. Selene sat on the edge of her bed, her violin case beside her, her new uniform immaculate. Austin stood by the door, his baseball glove tucked under his arm, his shoe tapping impatiently."Where is Papa?" Selene asked.Jovi knelt in front of her, adjusting the collar of her blouse. "He had to go with Grandfather. To a meeting.""But he promised.""I know, baby. He will make it up to you."Selene's lower lip trembled. "He always promised. But he is never there."Austin kicked the doorframe. "Why does Grandfather always take him away?"Jovi's hands paused. She did not have an answer.The car arrived. Selene carried her violin. Austin carried his glove. They climbed into the back seat without another word. Jovi sat beside them, her hand on Selene's knee.The school gates appeared. The red brick walls. The ivy.Selene looked out the window. "Will they like us?"Austin did not answer."They will," Jovi said. "Just be your

The restaurant was called Le Rêve. It was decorated with crystal chandeliers and ark wood panels. Waiters in crisp white jackets moved between tables with silent precision. A private room had been reserved on the second floor, overlooking the garden.Ronald Sinclair arrived first. He checked his watch. Then his phone. Then his watch again.Zane sat across from him, a leather portfolio on his lap. Inside were months of work. Sketches. Blueprints. Proposals. He had stayed up late for weeks, refining every line, every angle."He will be here," Ronald said. It was not a reassurance. It was a command.Zane nodded, his shoulder stiff.Less than two minutes later, the door opened.Alistair Harrington walked in. His hair was silver, his suit was dark, his eyes were sharp. He was not a tall man, but his presence filled the room. He had built an empire from nothing, and he had never forgotten it."Ronald." He extended his hand.Ronald stood and shook it. "Alistair. Thank you for agreeing to meet

Jovi heard their voices fade. She heard Selene laugh. She heard Austin describe the playground. She heard Zane ask questions, his voice warm, engaged, present.He had not looked back. Not at her, the wife who begged his attention.She sank to her knees. The carpet was soft. But the room felt cold.He used to love her like that. He used to look at her like she was the only woman in the world. He had left Nerissa for her. He had followed her across the ocean. He had promised to always be by her side.Now he walked away.She pressed her hand against her mouth. She did not want the children to hear.He still loves the twins, she thought. But he does not love me anymore.She cried alone.***In the hallway, Selene held Zane's right hand. Austin held his left. They chattered about their day."Marcus said I throw harder than anyone," Austin said."Lily said my violin sounds like singing," Selene said.Zane listened. He nodded and smiled. Enganging himself with his children.Then Selene stopp

The morning sun streamed through the hospital window, pale and indifferent.William Blackwood sat on the edge of the bed, his legs weak beneath him, his hands gripping the mattress. The doctors had finally given him permission to leave. The heart attack had not killed him, but it had humbled him. His body was no longer his ally.Lily stood beside him, folding his clothes into a small bag. Her movements were calm and practiced. She had been by his side every day, through every test and every silent hour.The tablet on the bedside table buzzed.William reached for it. His fingers were unsteady.He read the news.Vance Blackwood, the new CEO of Astera Spire, had announced a sixty percent reduction in executive salaries. The savings would be distributed to lower-level employees. It was a radical move, a controversial move. And it had triggered a wave of resignations.The articles were everywhere. "Vance Blackwood: Radical or Reckless?""The Son Who Would Burn His Father's Empire.""Astera

"I read your name everywhere, Vance. You have become another spotlight in our society... just for a different reason now. About you being radical. I think someone is eager to see you fail Astera by using public opinion like this."Vance's jaw tightened. "I am well aware, Ashworth. I just do not care enough about it."There was a flicker in Ashworth's eyes as Vance said it. He smiled, not warmly, but knowingly. Then his gaze shifted to Nerissa."I want to be honest with you, Vance. I do not think you are being effective like this."The words landed like stones. Vance and Nerissa paused. Ashworth had been supporting and trusting Vance's ideas for five years. He had never once expressed disagreement, they shared the same values. He was a pillar in Vance's world. His opinion mattered. Especially when it was disagreement."Why so?" Vance asked after the pause.Ashworth leaned back, steepling his fingers. His eyes moved between them."I want you to merge Astera and Horizon together.
