354 - From the ashes: Morning, silence, and life

"From now on, Daemon will hate you, and he might destroy your family like he did the Trevors."

"I don't believe my sister will have it in her to let him do that. She is too soft. Hypocritical but kind."

"Good. Then I won't have to intervene, so he won't see me coming. Good job, Lumian."

"As long as you don't forget our agreement, Mr Fitzgerald."

"Call me Connel. Raquel was my classmate, and she can be considered my friend. Moreover, no matter what happened, I used to like your sister, so no need to be so distant."

"Alright, Connel."

"Good. Now you can go back. Your father's company will receive the investment soon. Everything will be over in a few days."

"Understood. Then I will be waiting for your good news."

A heavy door was opened, then closed, and it signalled the end to the encounter between the two men who had been talking, but only the beginning of something more, something that brought smiles only to their lips.
