Pasco, sitting in his father's luxurious oce in Bangkok, couldn't shake the memories of Debbie. He stared out the window, the sprawling city lights reflecting his inner turmoil.
His father's voice boomed behind him. "You're
distracted, son. Is this about that girl again?"
"It's not just about her," Pasco replied, his voice low.
"It's about how much I've failed her—and myself."
"You didn't fail anyone," his father snapped. "You made choices. Now, stop brooding and focus on the merger.This family's legacy depends on it."
But Pasco couldn't. The weight of his unresolved guilt and his inability to truly connect with Debbie gnawed at him. For the first time in his life, he began to question whether his father's legacy was worth sacrificing his own happiness.
