"Clink"

The sound of glass cups clinking echoed in Pierce's sparsely decorated yet spacious dining room as he and Natasha enjoyed an expensive Italian dish; the white alba truffle.

"Com,on now," Natasha complained, not impressed by how Pierce was treating the meal in front of him. He had barely touched the exquisite food, instead draining his wine glass with a grim focus that spoke of anything but enjoyment.

Reluctantly, Pierce dropped his wine cup and raised his head tiredly, their faces meeting. "What?" He mumbled, dragging the word.

"What do you mean, 'what'?" Natasha shot back, her voice laced with exasperation. "You've not touched your food a bit. You're just finishing wine bottles like you've been depressed or something since I got back. What is wrong with you?"

Pierce let out a low, humorless laugh and immediately reached for the bottle, pouring the dark red liquid into his glass until it nearly overflowed. He stared into the swirling wine, his words slurring slightly. "Do

    Elijah leaned lazily against the polished mahogany counter, phone in hand as his thumbs glided across the glowing screen. The salesgirl’s cheap vanilla perfume tried to mask the exhaustion that clung faintly to the air while his detached reflection shimmered in the glass countertop. The double glass doors separating the waiting room and the main boutique parted, and Bartholomew strode in with measured confidence. Behind him, two guards pushed chrome trolleys piled high with garment bags and boxes, the branded luxury logos shouting money. "My lord," Bartholomew’s proud tone carried caution as he halted a few feet away. "Do you love these… or should we pick other ones?" Elijah slid his phone into his inner pocket and turned, his icing gaze flying to the trolleys. "Hmmm. I can’t come all the way from San Dicevey to the capital just for scraps. The most important thing is Naomi. Did you get a gown? Exactly her size and beautiful enough for her that she will love?" Bartholomew’

    The Aviatux Luxury Manor guests' dining hall was a sight of pure elegance. A grand chandelier bathed the room in golden light, reflecting off the polished marble floor. Towering black-and-gold columns lined the walls, while deep crimson drapes framed massive windows overlooking the glowing gardens. The air carried the soft hum of Aveston's orchestral music, blending with murmured conversations. A semi-circular dining table stretched across the hall, draped in fine silk and set with gold-rimmed plates and handcrafted glassware that had the diagram of two intertwined bracelets, the crest of the Aviatux family. The scent of gourmet dishes filled the air as business moguls, officials, and dignitaries sat in quiet discussions. Among them were Damien Aviatux’s most trusted staff and guards, their eyes sharp and watchful.
