Hubby 405

Zev hadn't left the office in over a day.

He hadn't even taken a moment to rest. His mind buzzed, a blur of calculations and strategy. But it wasn't enough.

Ken had flipped. Out of nowhere, he'd turned on them, and now the company was in chaos.

Zev waved him off, his determination unshaken. He couldn't leave now. There was too much to fix, too much that needed his attention-the company, his grandfather's legacy, everything.
