THIRD PERSON’S POV
The atmosphere inside Damien’s office was calm, but there was tension too.
Damien sat behind his desk. Marco was seated across from him.
There was silence in the room for a while. The room was filled with two dominant wolves who weren’t willing to submit to the other.
“I heard you went to Sophia,” Marco said finally.
Damien didn’t deny it.
“She came to me,” he replied calmly. “She asked me to reconsider the cooperation.”
Marco let out a quiet breath, leaning back slightly in his chair.
“And you agreed,” Marco said.
“Yes,” Damien answered.
There was a pause between them. Marco studied Damien carefully, as if trying to see what Damien’s end game was. Marco couldn’t help but wonder why Damien was helping them.
“Why?” Marco asked directly.
Damien did not hesitate.
“Because your company meets the standards,” he said. His tone was completely professional. “The data supports it. The risk is acceptable, and the potential return is worth it.”
Marco’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“That’s all?” he asked.
Damien looked at him without flinching.
“That’s all,” he said. “This decision has nothing to do with Sophia. It has nothing to do with Patricia. And it certainly has nothing to do with Peter.”
At the mention of Peter’s name, something changed in Marco’s expression, but he quickly controlled it. His jaw tightened slightly, but he didn’t interrupt Damien. This wasn’t the time and place to get angry.
“I run a company, not a family dispute,” Damien continued. “If your company didn’t meet the standards, I would not cooperate. It’s that simple.”
Marco crossed his arms slowly over his chest. He looked at Damien for a long moment, as if weighing his words carefully.
“And Peter?” Marco asked after a pause.
Damien’s expression didn’t change.
“I will compensate him with other opportunities,” he said. “He won’t lose anything from this.”
Marco let out a quiet breath. For a moment, neither of them spoke. The silence stretched between them, but it was no longer tense. It felt like something had settled, like a decision had been made and accepted.
“Understood,” Marco said finally.
He stood up slowly, adjusting his jacket as he did.
“I won’t rely on this,” Marco added. “I’ve already secured another cooperation. This is just... additional support.”
Damien nodded “That’s your decision,”
Marco nodded in return before walking out of the office.
-
The following days were filled with so much activities.
Marco threw himself into his work completely. He handled every meeting, every document, every negotiation with focus. He didn’t allow himself to think about failure. He didn’t allow himself to rely on anyone else.
He worked hard and it paid off.
The cooperation with the aviation company progressed faster than expected. Contracts were signed, agreements were finalized, and the financial pressure that had once tried to ruin everything began to stop. The company stabilized step by step.
Inside the office, the atmosphere changed.
There was anxiety before in the company. But now, there was relief. Employees who had been worried about their future began to relax. Their trust in Marco grew stronger.
Marco stood in his office one evening, looking over the finalized documents. The numbers were clear. The crisis had been resolved.
He let out a slow breath of relief
For the first time in a long while, he allowed himself to feel it.
He had done it.
-
At home, the mood was completely different.
Patricia stood in the living room, holding the report in her hands. Her eyes moved slowly over the pages, taking in every detail, every number, every confirmation that the company was safe.
Her hands trembled slightly.
“It’s... over?” she asked quietly.
Marco stood across from her, watching her reaction with a smile.
“It’s over,” he said.
Patricia’s lips parted slightly, and for a moment, she said nothing. Then her eyes began to fill with tears.
She tried to hold them back. She really did but she couldn’t.
