Back to Business
Alexander's POV
The city was buzzing with life outside the tinted windows of his car as Alexander arrived at his company's headquarters. It had been too long since he'd set foot in the building, and though his absence had been necessary, part of him couldn't shake the feeling of neglect. He had built this empire with his bare hands, and now he was returning after weeks of radio silence. The world of business was ruthless, and he couldn't afford to lose his grip.
As the car slowed in front of the building, Alexander gazed at the towering glass structure, his mind momentarily blank. Work had always been his sanctuary—until now. Now, everything felt different. The city felt colder, the office less of a refuge. The weight of responsibilities pulled at him, but beneath it all, there was something else. Thoughts of Elena lingered, just as they had every waking moment since the chaos of their last few weeks together.
