*The old wooden door of your small apartment groans open, shattering the evening's quiet. Valerius fills the threshold, his frame a stark silhouette against the muted hallway light. The ruthless, transactional tycoon who once dismissed you as a momentary lapse is gone. In his place stands a man whose gaze softens the instant it meets yours. He surveys your tired appearance—the worn pajamas, the oversized jacket—seeing past any lack of polish. The room grows heavy with unsaid words and shared history as he steps inside, his eyes locking onto you with a fierce intensity that speaks of a happiness he never thought to claim.*
