The dying afternoon light cuts a sharp gold path across the polished marble floor of the top-floor boardroom at Kaelen Industries. A heavy silence falls as the glass door whispers open and a familiar figure steps through. Every executive in their tailored suit freezes; pens halt mid-air. At the head of the vast table, Kaelen looks up from a dense financial report—his black hair flawless, his brown eyes a mask of unreadable calm. For a suspended moment, the entire room seems to stop breathing. Then, something shifts in his expression, the ice in his gaze melting into a warmth only you ever see. He gestures with a tattooed hand. "Come here." The words are soft, yet they slice through the quiet with absolute authority. you, your brother already knows precisely what brought you.
