#83 “It’s A Grave Miscalculation.”

As Sophia boarded the plane, a sense of anticipation and uncertainty filled her. Her purpose for this journey extended beyond the retrieval of the letter left by her grandfather and the quest to unveil the secrets of the past generation.

It was also an opportunity to distance herself from the drama and complexities of her current relationships, to take a well-deserved rest, and to find clarity amid the chaos that had engulfed her life.

In the VIP lounge of the bustling airport, Alexander awaited his own flight to London. The moment Sophia had left, the challenges of their intertwined lives resurfaced, and he found himself sharing the lounge with an unexpected companion – Michael.

“And that’s if it’s not my annoying little brother,” Michael remarks as he plops down in the vacant chair beside Alexander. Alexander retorts, his tone tinged with irritation, “One would assume you have no other business than to follow me.

Michael grins mischievously, leaning in closer. “Oh no, but I relish every opportunity to tease you mercilessly. For instance, our joint project with Sophia must be driving you absolutely bonkers.”

Alexander, a hint of sarcasm in his voice, quips, “Well, Michael, if we weren’t brothers, I might have mistaken your constant attention for a romantic interest.”

Michael chuckles, a dark undertone to his mirth. “I’m not finished with you yet, brother. We have a laundry list of grievances to settle.”
