My heart pounded as we stood outside Christopher's luxury apartment building.

After what felt like an eternity, the door swung open. David, Christopher's personal assistant, greeted me with a warm smile.

"Ms. Wilson." His tone was welcoming and familiar.

"David, is Christopher inside?" I asked, unable to mask the urgency in my voice.

"Mr. Blake is in the-" David's words died on his lips as his gaze shifted behind me, registering Sean's imposing presence. The friendly smile vanished instantly, replaced by a guarded expression.

Sean moved to follow, but David instinctively stepped forward to block his path. "Sir, I'm not sure if-"

Sean's emerald eyes locked with David's, the intensity of his gaze so palpable it seemed to physically push the other man back. Without a single word spoken, David retreated, allowing Sean to enter.

The subtle aroma of polished wood and luxury enveloped me as I moved through the apartment. Then I heard it-Aria's distinctive laughter, bright and carefree, followed by a man's gentle voice.
