The gala hall buzzed with an electric energy as attendees mingled, their laughter and conversations weaving a tapestry of ambition and aspiration. Davin adjusted his tie, the fabric a sharp contrast against the tailored navy suit he wore. It was more than just clothing. It was armour, a symbol of his fame as he prepared for the impending debate with Collins. The leader of the Newfolds Consortium. As he surveyed the room, he caught sight of familiar faces, investors, industry leaders, and journalists, all eagerly anticipating the exchange that would unfold. He could almost hear their whispers of curiosity and speculation, each of them wondering how this confrontation would play out. It was a double-edged sword; on one hand, he had the opportunity to reclaim his narrative, but on the other, there was the looming presence of Helen, his wife. Would she be watching?

I want you to feel like you’re a part of everything, like your voice matters in this journey.”Helen leaned back, contemplating his words. “I know you mean that, Davin. But how can we ensure that our family life doesn’t get lost in the shuffle? I want us to be more than just partners in name; I want us to be partners in everything.”Davin nodded, appreciating her clarity. “What if we set aside regular time just for us?

Sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating the room and hinting at a promising day.As he made his way to the kitchen, the sounds of breakfast filled the air. Helen was already bustling about, preparing pancakes while Mia sat at the table, her homework spread out in front of her.“Good morning, family!” Davin announced, pouring himself a cup of coffee.“Good morning, Dad!” Mia replied, her head buried in her math workbook. “Can you help me with this problem? I’m really confused.”“Of course,” he said, moving to her side. “What’s stumping you?”“It’s this one about fractions,” she said, pointing at the page with a furrowed brow. “I don’t get how to add them.”Davin knelt beside her, explaining the process step-by-step. He loved these moments of connection, the way teaching Mia helped him solidify his own understanding of concepts. After

It was weekend already and the sun dawned bright and sunny, reflecting its warm glow through the window as Davin awoke, feeling refreshed. After the previous evening’s eventful drive and the satisfying dinner with his family, he was eager to embrace the day and make it more eventful. He glanced over at Helen, still peacefully asleep, and smiled at how lucky she was.Once dressed, Davin tiptoed into the kitchen to make coffee. As the rich aroma filled the air, he thought about how to surprise Helen later. It had been a while since they had a proper date night, and he wanted to change that. He’d plan something special, just for them.After breakfast and a lively chat with Mia about her upcoming school project, Davin turned to Helen, who had just finished her coffee. “How about we have a date night tonight?” he suggested, a playful grin spreading across his face. “Just you and me.”Helen raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “Really?
