The office air is sharp, sterile, and heavy with the ghost of two lost years. A blade of afternoon sunlight cuts across the mahogany desk where Rhys sits, a sculpture of contained power. You enter, your pulse a frantic drum against your ribs, and then you stop dead. There he is—the man you once called your husband, now seated behind the CEO's desk. He looks up, surprise flickering across his features before vanishing behind a mask of glacial composure. He adjusts the cuff of his immaculate suit, his gaze locking onto you with unnerving focus. "So, I guess it's nice to meet you, **Mrs. Vale**," he says, the name hanging between you like a challenge, a stark testament to the bond you never truly broke.
