Flashback-
Xavier sat at his desk, staring blankly at the documents in front of him. His mind was far from his work, lost in the whirlwind of last nightโs events. He could still feel the weight of his father's words pressing down on him. The moment he confessed his love for Iris, the room had gone cold. His fatherโs eyes, usually calm, had turned hard as steel.
The ultimatum had come swiftly, almost cruelly:
โChoose between her and the company.โ And for the first time in his life, Xavier was stunned by his father, but heย chose Iris without a second thought.
It was the first real conflict heโd ever had with his father, and the sting of it still lingered.
