Roman leaned back in his study chair, the glow from several monitors washing over his tired face. His gold-rimmed glasses rested low on his nose, the sleeves of his shirt were rolled above his elbows, and the top two buttons had long since been undone.

Theon’s voice flowed through the laptop speakers.

“If we reduce the compound ratio by zero point three percent, the binding agent should stabilize. The original formula was far too volatile.”

Roman jotted down a few notes.

    Roman leaned back in his study chair, the glow from several monitors washing over his tired face. His gold-rimmed glasses rested low on his nose, the sleeves of his shirt were rolled above his elbows, and the top two buttons had long since been undone.Theon’s voice flowed through the laptop speakers.“If we reduce the compound ratio by zero point three percent, the binding agent should stabilize. The original formula was far too volatile.”Roman jotted down a few notes.“I came to the same conclusion. But the temperature threshold has to come down as well. The original lab had a controlled environment. We can’t recreate those conditions.”“We’ll compensate somewhere else.” Theon scribbled across the page in front of him. “I’ll run another trial with the revised formula and send everything over.”Roman closed his notebook. “Do that. We’re getting close.”The discussion continued for several more minutes as they compared data, challenged each other’s assumptions, and pieced together fr

    Jessica stared at Evelyn, completely caught off guard.Her mouth opened, then closed again. The answer seemed to reach her lips before disappearing just as quickly.Then Evelyn's phone rang, shattering the silence. She glanced at the screen. It was Roman. “I’m sorry.”She rose from her seat and stepped into the hallway to answer it.Roman called to check whether they had arrived safely, how Noah was doing, whether the villa was comfortable, and if she had eaten. Evelyn answered each question, but part of her mind remained inside the drawing room, replaying Jessica’s reaction over and over.When she returned a few minutes later, Noah’s cries greeted her before she crossed the doorway.The nanny Jessica had assigned was pacing with him in her arms while Lena stood nearby, pulling ridiculous faces and puffing out her cheeks in a desperate attempt to distract him.Noah was having none of it.His tiny face had turned bright red, and his cries only grew louder.Evelyn laughed despite herse

    Lena followed Caspian down a quiet hallway lined with portraits. Oil paintings of stern-faced ancestors watched them pass.He stopped in front of a large window overlooking the garden. The afternoon light streamed through the glass, casting long shadows across the polished wood.Caspian was quiet for a moment, then he turned to face her."I know you weren't really Theon's girlfriend," he said.Lena's stomach dropped. "I—"He waved Lena off. "I'm not angry. I've known since the beginning."Lena stared at him. "You did?"Caspian nodded. "Jessica and I know our son. He doesn't bring women home. Especially not women married to his cousin." He chuckled. "We knew something was off. But we also saw how he looked at you."Lena's throat constricted."And we saw how you looked at him." Caspian's gaze held hers. "Even if you were pretending, there was something real there. That's why we never said anything."Lena didn't know what to say. Her fingers curled against her palms."How do you feel abo

    The morning sun spilled through the villa's wide windows, casting golden rectangles across the cool terracotta floors. Evelyn stood on the terrace, Noah cradled against her shoulder, watching the waves roll in below.Lena appeared beside her, a cup of coffee in hand. "You're up early.""Couldn't sleep." Evelyn shifted Noah to her other arm. "He was hungry, and then I couldn't stop watching the sunrise."Lena took a sip of her coffee, looking toward the horizon. "It's beautiful here."Evelyn smiled. "Come on. Let's take him to the beach."—The beach was a short walk from the villa, a crescent of golden sand tucked between rocky cliffs. The water was clear and calm, lapping gently at the shore.Evelyn spread a large blanket on the sand and settled Noah on it, his tiny legs kicking in the air. He stared up at the sky with wide, curious eyes, his small fists opening and closing.Lena sat beside her, watching the baby explore the world with innocent wonder. "He's so calm today.""He's bee

    The Aurelion jet descended through a layer of thin clouds, revealing the coastline of Olyndria below. The sea glittered under the afternoon sun, its surface rippling with shades of deep blue and turquoise. White buildings stretched along the shoreline, climbing gently into emerald hills where rows of villas overlooked the ocean. From above, the entire country looked like a painting.Evelyn leaned closer to the window, unable to hide the smile that spread across her face. "It's beautiful," she murmured. "I didn't get to see it properly last time."Lena stretched in her seat, rolling her shoulders. "You were a bit preoccupied. What happened? Something about Alexander collapsing?"Evelyn let out a helpless groan. "Don't remind me. That trip was supposed to be relaxing, and it turned into something else." She paused, her gaze distant. "We had to leave so quickly. I barely got to see anything that night.""Well, this time there's no drama." Lena paused. "At least, not yet."Evelyn shot he

    Roman sat behind his desk, the glow of several monitors washing the office in a pale blue light. His sleeves were rolled to his forearms, and a cup of coffee sat forgotten beside the keyboard, long gone cold.His phone rested against a stack of documents, the screen occupied by Theon’s face“I still don’t understand why you’re making this so complicated,” Theon said, rubbing between his brows. Several reports and laboratory samples littered the desk behind him. “You created the virus. You created the antidote. Just tell me the formula.”Roman leaned back in his chair, his fingers pressing against his temple."It's not that simple. The original formula was destroyed when I burned the lab. What I remember is fragmented. I can give you the framework, but you'll have to fill in the gaps.""Fragmented?" Theon's brows shot up. "You designed the damn thing from scratch. How is it fragmented?""Because I didn't write it down." Roman's voice was flat. "I kept it in my head. And my head hasn't

    For a long moment, the grand ballroom was completely silent. Every guest seemed to be holding their breath.All eyes turned toward the source of that commanding voice. Roman walked calmly through the crowd, his presence commanding immediate attention. Nathan began trembling visibly."U-Uncle?" Nath

    Roman returned to find Evelyn pacing the suite like a caged tiger. She whirled around the moment she heard the door open, her eyes blazing with frustration and determination."We need to talk about this—right now!" she demanded."Not here," Roman said firmly, his tone leaving no room for argument.

    Evelyn's heart hammered as she stammered, "N-no..."Roman's intense gaze never left her face. "I think you understand exactly what I mean by making the pregnancy real," he said, his voice low and dangerous.Evelyn's breath caught. "I thought this was supposed to be a business arrangement."Roman le

    Evelyn struggled wildly as the men dragged her down the hallway. This was her only chance to expose the truth, and it was being ripped away from her. She tried to scream, but one of them pressed a cloth over her mouth.They were almost at the conference room when three large men in dark suits stepp
