311 Nexus Global Dilemma 

(Jayden) 

I lean against the kitchen counter, my eyes on the kids as they sit at the dining table, happily eating lunch. Bobby and Sarah are laughing at something Abby sald, and it’s one of those rare moments where everything seems perfect. 

But there’s a pit in my stomach, and I can’t ignore it. 

Nexus Global is the thing I need to deal with right now and the sooner I do the better. I’ve had calls and emails from various people in the team and none of them seem at all sympathetic to my situation. 

In fact, they give the impression that I’m being weak by wanting to support my family. I’m not sure if I’ll ever fit in with this team. Things seem to be done so differently over there. 

I can’t even go and ask for help from Gus as he goes through the trial process. So I’m on my own. 

My phone buzzes in my pocket. I already know who it is. Hugo Devereux. He’s been calling every day, demanding my attention for some Nexus Global crisis or other. 

I swipe away the notification for the third time today and head back to the living room, where Winona’s lying on the couch with Henry. I don’t want to have this conversation in front of her, but I can’t keep avoiding it either. 

I slip into the bedroom, shutting the door behind me before I finally swipe the call. 

Hugo’s voice is sharp and businesslike, his French accent thick as ever. “Monsieur Brennan, I trust you have made arrangements for your immediate departure to Europe?” 

“I just brought my prem son home from the hospital, Hugo,” I reply, trying to keep my voice steady. “I can’t exactly pack up and leave right now.” 

“C’est regrettable, but Nexus Global cannot wait,” Hugo replies, his tone cold and professional. “We are facing critical decisions that only you, as the head of this company, can make. Your presence is not a request, Jayden, it is a necessity.” 

I rub my face, feeling the weight of the situation press down on me. “I know it’s important, Hugo, but my family- 

“Gus entrusted you with this company, and there are many people, powerful people, waiting for your leadership. I must insist that you make your way to Europe within the week.” 

I let out a long breath. Hugo doesn’t give a damn about my personal life. He’s loyal to Gus’s legacy, and right now, that means pushing me to step up. “I’ll do what I can. But I can’t promise anything yet.” 

“Monsieur, you must understand that there are forces at play here that go beyond personal 

responsibilities. Gus left you with this empire for a reason. You cannot afford to delay.” His voice is as unyielding as ever. “Your family will follow soon, no?” 

“Yes, but-” 

“Bon. I will expect to hear from you soon about your arrival. A bientôt.” Hugo hangs up before I can respond 

I walk back into the living room, and Winona looks up at me, her eyes questioning. She knows something’s up, and I’m not sure how I’m going to explain this. 

“Who was that?” she asks, her voice gentle as she cradles Henry: 

“Hugo,” I say, sitting down beside her. “He’s pushing for me to go to Europe… soon.” 

Winona’s face tightens for a moment, and she looks down at Henry. “How soon?” 

I sigh, rubbing the back of my heck. “Sooner than I thought. They need me there, and I can’t keep pushing it off.” 

She’s quiet for a few seconds, and I can see the gears turning in her head. “Just go, Jayden. The sooner you get started over there the sooner you get finished. Her voice isn’t angry, but there’s a hint of disappointment there. 

“I don’t have a choice, Winona. I can’t let it fall apart. 

“I know,” she whispers, glancing down at Henry. “I just.. it’s a lot, Jayden. Henry just got home. The other kids are still adjusting. I’m not sure how I’m going to handle it all without you. But I promise you’l will.” 

I reach out, taking her hand in mine. “That’s why we’ve got help. They’re all here to make sure everything runs smoothly and I’ll video call daily.”
