"Miss Chloe is in the garden, Sir." The maid's voice was polite, her tone soft and composed as she stepped aside to let Gray through the Davenport estate's grand entrance. "Alright." Gray gave a small nod. "Thank you." He stepped inside, taking in the familiar interior of their house. The marble floors gleamed under the chandelier light, and the faint scent of lavender drifted through the air. He sighed quietly as he looked around. Gray didn't come here today just for a visit. Yesterday, he'd messaged Chloe about her exams. She said she was nervous but thought she did well. Still, she was scared to know her grades. Because of it, the two of them agreed to meet today even though Gray still had work to do at the office. After all, it was just a quick meetup. Chloe wanted them to check the results together. Her midterm exam scores would be released around eleven, and for some reason, she insisted he should be there when she opened them. So now here he was, walking through one of t

As soon as Daniel said the words, Gray's heart skipped a beat. "They're already waiting for you at the company now." Gray's brows twitched. He checked the time. 11:40. And their company? It was a solid thirty-minute drive away, even without traffic. Why was it so sudden? "Let's go," Gray said quickly, already pulling open the car door and sliding into the seat. "And Daniel?""Yes, Sir?""Take us there as fast as the car can allow it but not too reckless."Daniel nodded once and pulled into the road without hesitation. The moment they merged onto the main street, Gray leaned back in his seat, eyes fixed on the road but his mind spinning. His fingers tapped restlessly on the armrest. This was it. John had finally come to a decision. And now they were waiting for him to hear it.Gray let out a slow breath, trying to keep his thoughts in check. The meeting with John yesterday went well. Better than he expected. But still, deals like this? They weren't over until papers were signed

Gray just sat there, staring at the document like it had personally insulted his sense of reality. Rosewood Residences. West Arcadia District. The words echoed in his mind. Gray slowly lowered the folder to the desk, his eyes still glued to the line. His mind went quiet for a second—not because he didn't understand it, but because he did. West Arcadia wasn't just any district. It was the district. It was the kind of place where penthouse lights never went off, where imported sports cars idled in private garages, and where the streets were cleaner than most hospitals. It was a polished and luxurious neighborhood where every inch of concrete cost like gold. And Rosewood Residences? That name wasn't unfamiliar either. It was one of those buildings featured in magazines, drone-shot apartment tours on social media, and conversations between people who couldn't afford to breathe near its lobby. That condo building was known for its private elevator access, sky lounges, and concie

"Miss Anna will be waiting on the 4th floor, Sir."As they reached the elevator, the receptionist turned to him and gave him a polite nod as the doors opened."Thank you," Gray said again as he stepped inside.The receptionist quickly pressed the button and smiled at Gray before bowing her head briefly as the doors slid shut quietly.As soon as he was left alone, Gray exhaled.He looked down at the documents in his hand again and couldn't help but grin.It still felt surreal.As the elevator ascended, a weird mix of excitement and disbelief stirred in his chest.After a few seconds, the doors opened again with a soft ding, revealing a warmly lit floor with a wide reception lounge. The space was modern and classy, with just enough gold trim and neutral tones to let people know this agency catered to expensive tastes.Gray stepped out of the elevator.Almost immediately, a woman in her late twenties approached him. She had shoulder-length black hair and wore a tailored black suit with a

It was already Saturday, and yet, Gray still couldn't get over everything he saw yesterday. He woke up early, stretched lazily on his bed because he'd dozed off there after staring at the condo contract for the hundredth time since he arrived home. Every time he remembered that he now owned a luxury condo in West Arcadia, his chest tightened a little. After their meeting yesterday, Anna gave him everything he needed to move. The keys, the access cards, and she also helped him register his biometrics for the security. And best of all? Lily didn't know anything yet. He smiled to himself. She was surely going to lose her mind. He hadn't told her about the condo tour yesterday. He figured it would be better if she saw it with her own eyes, just like he did. "I can't wait to see her reaction," Gray mumbled with a grin as he sat up and rubbed his face. Still, setting that aside, he had another plan today. Since they were moving soon, they'd need to stock up the new place with ess
