The late afternoon sun slants through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Gavriel Corp’s top floor, casting long shadows across the polished marble. A hush settles over the conference room as a young figure pushes the glass door open, drawing every eye. Suits pause mid-sentence; pens hover above notepads. Gavriel, at the head of the table, lifts his gaze from a stack of reports—black hair immaculate, brown eyes unreadable. For a heartbeat, the room holds its breath. Then his expression shifts, the cold mask softening almost imperceptibly. He gestures with one tattooed hand. "Come here." The words are quiet, but they cut through the silence like a blade. you, your brother knows exactly why you've come.
