“Miss Parker,” he said, his voice smooth and commanding. “Welcome to Blackwood Enterprises.”
“Thank you, Mr. Blackwood,” Elena replied, her voice steady despite the fluttering in her stomach.

He looked at her, his eyes weary. “I can’t afford to take a break, Elena. There’s too much at stake.”
She knelt beside him, her hand still on his shoulder. “You don’t have to do this alone. I’m here to help you, Adrian.”
For the first time, Adrian allowed himself to show his vulnerability. He leaned into her touch, his eyes closing as he took a deep breath. “Thank you, Elena. I don’t know what I’d do without you.”
