"Engagement?" Frederik's face turned ugly the moment he read the notification flashing across his phone.

Still groggy from sleep, he sat up and scrubbed a hand down his face. Before he could process anything, his phone buzzed again. His grandfather's name lit up the

screen.

Frederik answered without thinking. "Yes?"

"Did you know about this?" his grandfather barked on the other end. "The Rossi girl and Liam Horvath?"

Frederik got up and made his way to the kitchen. He grabbed a glass from the counter and filled it with water, listening as his grandfather's voice filled the quiet apartment.

"Of course not," Frederik muttered, setting the glass down without drinking. His stomach churned too much for that now. "You better be ready for the board meeting later," his grandfather continued. "This could be a stunt to clean up the mess from the assault accusations. Do you understand? Focus on the agenda. Make sure the others don't get soft because of a few headlines."

Frederik exhaled slowly through his nose, gripping the edge of the counter. "I understand."

"Good," his grandfather said before hanging up without a goodbye.

Frederik set the phone down and turned toward the living room. He grabbed the remote, flicked on the TV, and froze.

The scene unfolding on the screen was chaos.

A cluster of reporters swarmed the entrance of a hotel. Flashbulbs popped. Cameras jostled for position. The news anchor's voice cut through the background noise.
