Matthew, previously deep in a restful sleep, was now sharply awakened. His face, normally relaxed in slumber, was now marked by a cold, stern expression.

Despite this, he maintained a firm hold on Aurelia, embracing her tightly in an effort to offer comfort. It was clear she was experiencing deep distress, seemingly caught in the throes of a terrifying nightmare.

Within the safety of his arms, however, Aurelia’s agitated emotions began to subside gradually, as though she was pulling herself back from the edge of a harrowing dream scene.

His colleagues, who had once been overly flattering, seemed to have caught wind of his family’s financial woes and had begun to subtly probe him for information.

Particularly noticeable was the shift in office dynamics following the return of Xavier from a business trip. Those who once sought Aaron’s favor were now gravitating toward Xavier, relegating Aaron to a peripheral status within the company.

During his lunch break, concerned and desperate. Aaron made a call to Benjamin. “For the past two months, you haven’t transferred any money into my account. I’ve nearly spent all I have. Could you please deposit some more? Not much, just a million would suffice.”
