As Viktor drives me home from Nexus Global, I can't help but feel a strange mixture of satisfaction and exhaustion. It's been a long day, but surprisingly, a good one.

Connecting with Sofia was something I wasn't expecting, and it's left me with more to think about than I'd planned.

We pull up to the huge mansion and Jayden's standing by the front entrance, pushing Henry's pram back and forth. He smiles when he sees me, that warm, easy grin that always makes me feel like everything is going to be okay.

I step out of the car, making my way over to him. "Hey," I say, leaning in to kiss him lightly. "You're waiting for me?"

"Of course. How was it with Sofia?" Jayden asks, his voice genuinely curious as he peers down at Henry, still asleep in the pram

I bend down and kiss Henry's cheek.

"She's sharp. Really sharp. I actually learned a lot from her today." I let out a small laugh, shaking my head. "She's damn good at her job. I can see why she's where she is."

Jayden nods, his expression thoughtful. "And...do you still think my mother might have a hand in anything there? Pulling strings?"

I hesitate, thinking back to Sofia's easy confidence and the way she commanded the room. "I don't know. I'm not ruling anything out. Sofia doesn't seem like someone who can be manipulated easily. But it might be as simple as keeping us apart by me working with her." Jayden raises an eyebrow. "We'll keep an eye on it."
