Gerald sat in his office, lost in thought. He leaned back in his leather chair, spinning a pen between his fingers as he replayed his conversation with Aubrey yesterday. The name "Edrick" echoed in his mind, gnawing at him. Edrick wasn't just a regular man; he was a formidable figure in the business world. Known for his sharp mind and ruthless strategies, Edrick had built a reputation that rivaled even the best. But what stood out the most to Gerald was the fact that Edrick was Mason's rival.
The rivalry between their families was practically legendary, starting with their fathers. Gerald had heard the stories, the whispers in boardrooms and the gossip at parties. What began as a professional competition had grown into something personal, something that had seeped into the next generation. Gerald had always thought it was just business, but now, with Ellen somehow in the middle of it all, he couldn't help but wonder if there was more to the story.
