View MoreThe sky was beginning to burn gold as I returned to Carter farm, painting the fields with a warm haze that clung to the treetops. The walk back was quiet, except for the crunch of gravel beneath my boots and the occasional rustle of wind in the wheat.I spotted Henry near the barn, struggling with an old wooden wagon. One of the wheels had come loose, and the frame leaned to one side, looking as tired as the man working on it.“You need a hand?” I called out, already rolling up my sleeves.Henry looked up, surprised—but not displeased. “You don’t mind gettin’ your hands dirty, missy?”I smiled. “Not if the wagon minds getting fixed by a city girl.”Henry chuckled under his breath. “Well, I’ll be the judge of that.”I knelt down beside him, reaching for the tools. As we fixing the wagon “Seems like you could use an extra pair of hands more often,” I said.Henry: “What makes you think that?”I shrugged, because it was obvious. “You don’t look like the kind of guy who likes asking for he
I stepped away from the barn, pressing my phone to my ear. The wind was cooler out here, brushing past my skin like a warning.“Katy?” I answered, already sensing the edge in her voice.“Hey,” she said, her tone clipped. “You didn’t text back last night.”“I was with my family,” I said calmly. “And… Haze. I was showing her around Fairbook.”There was a pause. “Right. Her again.”I sighed. “What’s that supposed to mean?”“Nothing,” she replied too quickly. “It’s just… I thought this was your family trip. But it feels like you're spending more time with her than with me.”I rubbed the bridge of my nose. “Katy, she is planning a company event. And she don’t know anyone around here. I can’t exactly ignore her.”“I’m not asking you to ignore her, Richard. But she’s always there. Even when we’re together in the city, somehow she’s around—at home, in your drafts, in your head.”That last one landed sharper than I expected.I exhaled. “She’s my roommate. And a model under Tyto. I can’t preten
The silence that followed her confirmation wasn't awkward—it was… reverent.I had always imagined the person behind those precise, no-nonsense instructions to be older. Harsher. Someone who wore a mask of strategy without warmth. Someone whose power came from detachment.But it was her.Haze.The woman I watched command attention at board meetings and disappear behind curated smiles. The one who walked through chaos like it was choreography. The one I had grown to admire—slowly, quietly—and eventually, without control.And now I knew.She wasn’t just the face of the company. She was its pulse.I looked at her again—not the same way I did before, not as the model, not even as the woman who had once entered the boardroom to tip the scales—but as the leader who had trusted me enough to carry her instructions, knowing I never knew who she was.“You’re not angry?” she asked, reading my silence as uncertainty.“No,” I answered immediately, surprising both of us.Because I wasn’t.There was
The boardroom was sterile, cold, and too quiet—exactly the kind of silence that preceded war. I sat at the long, polished table, eyes calmly scanning the room as the first few shareholders trickled in. Same faces. Same pattern. Routine.At least, until he walked in.The door creaked open and in strolled Maximillian Duval like he owned the floor beneath him. Confidence clung to him like a tailored suit—sharp, calculated, and impossible to ignore. His presence bent the atmosphere, drawing attention like a magnet. I didn’t react. I didn’t need to. But I braced myself.He wasn’t here for observation. He was here to dominate.The meeting began in its usual rhythm—Howard leading, a few figures nodding, reports flying back and forth. I listened, contributed when necessary, all while maintaining the composure expected of me. For months, I had represented Tyto Corp in public, acting as the face of leadership while answering quietly to someone behind the scenes—someone I only knew through sharp
I woke up early the next morning, feeling surprisingly rested. The sounds of birds chirping and the gentle rustle of wind outside the window had a calming effect on me. It was so peaceful here, so different from the constant hum of the city.As I made my way downstairs, the smell of freshly baked b
The drive from the airport to the Carter farm was a long one, but I didn’t mind. It had been years since I last came home, and the closer we got, the more memories started resurfacing. The familiar stretch of land, the scent of freshly plowed soil, the sight of the wide-open fields that seemed to g
After I put back Richard’s draft like the way it was before, I remembered about how Fairbook agricultural event is been held back, seems like I need to directly involve in this one. And maybe I can use this event to start my plan regarding Maximillian.Sighing, I search of coffee to the kitchen. As
I pressed my fingers against my temple, staring at the reports on my desk. The numbers swam in front of me—project delays, shareholder disputes, Maximillian’s latest maneuver. No matter how many angles I considered, I kept running into the same question.How do I approach Maximillian without making
