Blinded Love
The quiet glow of late afternoon poured into the library of the Kingsley penthouse, casting long shadows across the polished hardwood floors.
Avery sat at the dark oak desk, staring at her laptop screen. On the display was the official confirmation from the Swiss banking portal: $145,000,000 under her personal control. It was a staggering, almost abstract number.
She leaned back in her chair, a soft, troubled sigh escaping her lips.
Damien stepped into the library, carrying two warm cups of tea. Observing her quiet expression, he placed a mug near her hand and leaned against the edge of the desk, his silver eyes watching her with gentle concern.
