The lights dimmed.

Conversations softened, then gradually faded into a low murmur as attention shifted toward the center of the hall. It was a subtle cue; everyone knew something was about to begin.

After that, the fire display ignited. A burst of flames arose along the stage, drawing a reaction from the crowd. Orange hues danced upward, casting moving shadows across the room.

“Ladies and gentlemen,” the master of ceremonies began. “Tonight, we celebrate something extraordinary.”

I stood where I was, my gaze forward and body still.

“This year,” he continued, “Fiorane marks fifty years of hard work, excellence, and legacy, built by none other than William Florence.”

There was applause. Although some of these people weren’t fond of William Florence, nobody can deny his influence and power in the industry.

“And for this milestone year,” he added, building anticipation, “we bring you something special.”

“Something… unexpected.”

I exhaled slowly. This was the turning point.

I stepped forward, and the moment I did, eyes turned toward me again. Every single person in that hall took in my movement.

I walked toward the stage with a steady posture.

From the corner of my eye, I saw Serena’s group turn darker. I knew they were already aware of the collaboration, but they probably didn’t expect me to have this big a role.

I looked to a different side and saw my family. They were the ones who didn’t have an idea of this

collaboration.

My grandfather’s eyes widened slightly, but even then, his pride was evident.

Sara and Cara looked like they were about to lose their minds.

My father looked completely stunned.

“Please welcome,” the host announced, his voice rising slightly, “Tristan Hale of Hale Enterprises.”

Applause followed, stronger this time but also filled with curiosity.

I stepped onto the stage. The lights adjusted instantly, focusing in, isolating me in front of everyone.

I took the microphone and let the silence sit for a moment.

Finished

“You might be wondering. I began after a while, my voice calm, “why I am standing here in front of all of you when I represent another company.”

I could see their curiosity building with every word that left my mouth.

“I am honored to be here tonight,” I continued. “Truly,”

“I stand before you to introduce something new.”

I turned slightly, gesturing toward the display behind me.

“Something that represents not just innovation,” I added, “but alignment.”

The screen lit up, and the display moved forward.

The first image appeared, and the reaction was immediate.

The visuals transitioned smoothly, showcasing the product in full detail.

A new Dahlia was perched on top of new car–the Daz. The two complemented each other well, creating a powerful image.

“Fiorane and Hale have decided to collaborate for this year.”

Their reactions had gotten bigger, and even my grandpa stood from his seat, absolutely gobsmacked by the turn of events. However, the moment our eyes met, he smiled widely.

“A new Dahlia,” I continued, “and a new car for Hale the Daz.”

Applause broke out again, louder and stronger than before.

My dad, on the other hand, was looking at Marcus. I decided to look at my brother as well, and I couldn’t help but smile in amusement.

His jaw was clenched so tightly I thought it might crack.

Let him feel this defeat.

With my announcement, I had just done something irreversible. I had sealed my place. Hale was no longer something I was chasing.

It was fully mine.

But even as that thought crossed my mind, I realized something else.

It was not the most important thing to me anymore. Not even close.

Because standing here, in this moment-

I knew what mattered most.

It was her.

Willow.

My greatest achievement this year was not this.

It was not Hale.

It was loving her.

And I would give all of it up-

If it meant I could keep her.

I tightened my grip on the microphone slightly before continuing

“And along with this launch,” I said, bringing the focus back, “we also have something more.”
