After a long day at work, Lucas returned home to his grand mansion, eager to unwind in the serenity of his now personal sanctuary. As he stepped into the master's bedroom, he was pleased to see that the servant he had tasked with redecorating the space had done an exceptional job. The room was transformed into a haven that perfectly reflected his taste - simple, yet elegant, and bathed in warm, inviting light.Soft, creamy white walls and plush beige carpets created a calming atmosphere, while the thinner silver gray drapes covering the floor-to-ceiling windows allowed the golden hues of sunset to pour in. A sleek, minimalist four-poster bed stood as the room's centerpiece, adorned with crisp, snow-white linens and a few carefully chosen pieces of abstract art. A comfortable reading nook beckoned in one corner, with a plush armchair and a floor lamp casting a warm glow.Lucas' eyes lingered on the subtle accents - a vase filled with fresh white lilies on the nightstand. Something he d

After the long drive, Lucas finally arrived at the mansion. He parked his car and stepped out, his thoughts consumed by the funeral ceremony ahead, as he instructed his staff to take care of his mother for the burial. As he entered the living room, his jaw dropped in astonishment. The head maid had truly outdone herself with the decorations. The room set for the reception after the funeral, was transformed, almost unrecognizable beneath the elegant black and white balloons that floated gracefully from the high ceilings. Black ribbons cascaded down the stairway, and intricate arrangements of white flowers added a touch of serenity. And the filling aroma from the buffet at the corner, filled his nostrils.It was a bit much for him and yet Lucas' face broke into a satisfied smile as he took in the majestic scene."I see it meets your approval, Mr. Graham. I was a bit worried that it was a bit much, but I didn’t want to spare any expense." the head maid observed, her voice tinged with pr

As Lucas prepared for another busy day, his thoughts lingered on Sophia's compelling presentation. The memory of her confidence and expertise fueled his enthusiasm and with what he had seen the day before, he couldn't deny that LunaTech had won the partnership with his company. Still, Lucas couldn't understand the reason for his curiosity and why he had thought so much about her the day before, but something about her stood out for him.As Lucas' car glided through the morning traffic, he scanned his schedule on his phone. A few board meetings were lined up, but nothing that required his direct participation. He could easily assign the tasks to his trusted team.The office building soon appeared and Logan expertly maneuvered the vehicle to the entrance."Logan, I'll be in meetings most of the day. Come back at the usual time," Lucas instructed, stepping out of the car."Very well, sir," Logan replied, tipping his hat as Lucas got down from the car. Lucas strode into the building, h

The next day at work, Lucas sat in his office, head deep in a stack of documents and financial reports. The morning sunlight streaming through the window highlighted the lines of concentration etched on his face. The night before had occupied his mind for some time, but when he had had a good night’s sleep, his mind went right back to the matter at hand. Growing the company in his image. Nothing else.Helena walked in a few hours later with a warm smile. "Good morning, Mr. Graham. I have some news that I believe you would be interested in."Lucas looked up, his eyes narrowing slightly from focusing on the paperwork. "What is it, Helena?" He asked promptly."The partnership with Ms. Sophia's company is officially a go," Helena announced, her voice filled with excitement. "The board has reviewed and approved the contract."Lucas' expression relaxed into a relieved smile. "That's great news," He said.It was not like the board had the power to reject something he had already approved him

Another text message from Sophia appeared on Lucas' phone."Why are you ignoring me?" the message read, the question hanging in the air.Lucas didn't flinch, his gaze remaining steadily fixed on the documents spread out before him as he returned the phone to the table. He didn’t want to engage with this woman, especially after her husband had barged into his home. He had no desire to input himself in their marital trouble. In less than five minutes, the door to Lucas’ office barged open with Sophia walking into the office. She walked into his office, her footsteps firm and loud like she was on her way to a fight. Her face was a picture of displeasure, a deep frown etched across her features.Lucas raised an eyebrow, wondering why Helena hadn't sought his permission before letting Sophia in, something she had always done, but he was sure that it was because he had sent her on that errand earlier.Sophia closed the door firmly behind her, the sound echoing through the room just as Luca
