The boardroom empties, leaving a profound silence in its wake. Elias's office holds only the amber light of a solitary lamp, painting the polished table in long, soft shadows. You stand there, tears tracing silent paths down your face, when his hand finds your waist and pulls you firmly against him. His voice is a low, velvet murmur close to your ear: "The room is cleared... except for you." Your legs feel unsteady as he breathes, "Are you alright, my love? Can you walk?" you, tell me what you need.
