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? Would she understand?

    Later that evening of his arrival. “Helen,” he said, turning to face her fully. “About what you said earlier... about needing to feel secure in our personal life. I realize that I’ve let work overshadow everything else. It’s not fair to you, or to us.”She looked up from the fire, her expression serious. “I appreciate you acknowledging that.

    Helen and Davin both had unsaid words that lingered but they were most especially weighed down by Davin’s mother current situation. They sat at the waiting room quietly while Maya had excused herself to the cafeteria. The sedative were still kicking in Margrets’s blood stream as she slowly recovered from it, the sudden news of her sickness and then the transfer from one to hospital to another even made them question the severity of her sickness, was she deteriorating in health yet the doctors kept it a secret?

Is she okay?”“Maya,” Davin said, keeping his voice steady. “What are you doing here?”“I came to support my family,” she said, tilting her head slightly. “Isn’t that what family does?”Helen shot Davin a look, and he felt the tension rise between them. “Support?” he echoed, doubt lacing his tone. “Or to make sure everyone knows you’re here?”Maya laughed, a sound that felt more like a challenge. “Oh, come on.

Let’s just focus on her,” Davin said, frustration boiling beneath the surface. “But don’t pretend that you aren’t looking for attention.”“Seriously, Davin?” Maya shot back, her voice sharp. “You think I’m here for a show?

She’s seriously ill,” Helen said, her words tumbling out in a rush. “They’re flying her out of Arctic City for specialized medication.”Davin’s heart sank. “What do you mean, ‘seriously ill’? What’s going on?”“They didn’t give me all the details, just that she needs immediate treatment,” Helen replied, her eyes brimming with concern. “They’re arranging a private jet to get her to the mainland for the best care.”“Why didn’t they call me?” he asked, rising from the table, the papers scattering as he stood.“I think t
