"Congratulations on your success," Liam smiled as he handed a champagne glass to Izzy. "I knew you could do it."
Izzy smiled. "Did you?" She accepted the glass.
"I never had a doubt." Liam said as he sat next to her, staring straight at her. "But
you don't seem happy."
Izzy smiled at that. Doesn't she really look happy?
Izzy took a sip of the champagne and rested the glass on her knee. The celebration was quiet, the way she preferred it. The lights were low.
The view from the penthouse window stretched across the skyline, but her eyes weren't on it. She watched the reflection in the glass instead-Liam's beside hers. Solid. Still. Always watching.
"I'm not unhappy." she said. "It's just... enough, for now."
He didn't answer right away. He shifted slightly, turning toward her. His arm brushed against hers. He didn't move away.
"I didn't think I'd have to keep doing this forever," she continued. "I didn't think I'd have to keep fighting."
Liam reached for her hand, not sudden, just steady. His fingers closed around hers. Warm. Grounding. No pressure. He waited.
She didn't look at him. "They never stop. Frederik, the Rossi board, and even the media. I wake up, and there's always something new-another headline, another meeting, or another problem. And no matter what I fix, it doesn't end."
"You don't have to do it alone."
She looked down at their hands. His thumb brushed against the side of hers.
"I know," she said. "But even when you're not alone, it still feels like it's on you. Because no one else really understands what's at stake." She pulled her hand away gently, only to set the glass aside. Then she turned fully toward him, folding one leg beneath her on the couch. "The problem isn't that they're trying to push me out. The problem is I don't know who's really behind it. The leaks, the timing, the press-it's coordinated."
Liam nodded once. He didn't ask for more. He waited.
"And I- I don't want to keep fighting an invisible enemy, Liam. I just- I don't think I can do this all the time. Be on defense. Not being able to sleep property at night, thinking someone might be planning to end my life anything and I-” she swallowed. "I didn't want to drag you with me."
"Hey Hey you are not-"
