One More Risk

Adrian stood at the head of the Wolfe & Kings boardroom, the city skyline behind him, calm as ever.

But Eliana saw the storm in his eyes.

He was about to propose something bold—merging with a rising tech firm to reposition the company for the future. A move that would disrupt the old guard. A move that would either crown him as visionary… or ruin him.

"You don't need to do this," Eliana told him softly.

"I do," he said. "Not just for the company. For us. I built all this on control. Now I want to build something new. With you."

She felt her heart pull.

They weren't hiding anymore. She had her own company. He had his empire. They had nothing left to prove—except their future.

So she walked into that boardroom and sat beside him.

Not as his assistant.

As his partner.

He introduced the deal. The pitch was flawless. But when the vote came, hands hesitated.

Until Eliana stood.

"I built my name under his. I stand with him now, beside him. And if any of you can't see that the future needs to be built with risk and heart—then maybe you shouldn't be on this board."

Silence.

Then one by one, the votes came in.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

Unanimous.

Adrian exhaled.

She smiled.

This wasn't just business anymore.

It was the beginning of their empire—together.
