As Bell made his way out, his steps lighter and more hopeful than before, Mila exhaled audibly, slumping slightly in her chair. βThat was way more intense than any meeting Iβve ever had.β
Vivian laughed softly, finally allowing herself to relax fully. βEvery day is a new battlefield.β
Allen chuckled lightly, brushing his hand through his dark hair. He wasnβt naive enough to believe the battle was overβfar from it. But for now, at least, heβd laid a foundation.
βYou really think Bell can handle Sophia?β Mila asked softly, a hint of worry still lingering.
Allen glanced back at her calmly, the smallest smirk playing at his lips. βThatβs up to him now. I gave him an opening. Whether he survives depends on his own decisions.β
Vivian stood gracefully, eyes sparkling with gentle admiration. βEither way, it was impressive. You really are terrifying when youβre like this.β
Allen smiled warmly, briefly touching her hand. βOnly when necessary.β
Mila stood up slowly, cheeks slightly flushed again as she watched Allen with admiration. βYou know, Allenβ¦ Iβm glad Iβm not your enemy.β
Allen gave her a faintly amused smile, his eyes calm but intense. βThatβs probably wise.β
Mila swallowed, her cheeks warming again as Allenβs calm gaze lingered on her. She knew his words werenβt meant as a threatβbut the certainty behind them sent a small shiver down her spine anyway. Allen was powerful. He was the kind of guy who could casually drop a bombshell of information, manipulate a room, and still look completely unfazed. It was part of why she was so drawn to him. And yet, she couldnβt deny it made her feel a bit nervous, too.
She took a breath, gathering her courage. Her heart felt like it was fluttering wildly, like a trapped bird inside her chest. But she couldnβt hold it back anymore. She needed to speak up.
βAllen, umβ¦ about us,β she began hesitantly, her voice soft but clear enough to draw his attention.
Allen turned slightly toward her, a gentle curiosity flickering briefly in his gaze. βHm?β
Mila bit her lip, nervousness welling up inside her chest. She fiddled absently with a strand of her hair, twisting it between her fingers. βYou know my family is your familyβs business rival, right?β
Allen nodded calmly. βYeah, I know that very well.β
Milaβs cheeks burned brighter, but she didnβt falter. βWell, Iβm pretty sure youβre already aware that IβI have feelings for you. Iβve never exactly been subtle about it.β
He didnβt respond immediately, but his expression softened a bit. βYes. Iβm aware.β
She hesitated, her voice catching slightly in her throat. βI justβ¦ I know itβs complicated. Really complicated. Our families, our backgroundsβitβs not something easy to handle. But Iβve said it before, and I meant it. Iβm serious.β
Allen watched her steadily, his eyes calm and thoughtful. βI know youβre serious.β
Mila fidgeted, growing more flustered. She knew she was laying her heart out in front of him again, completely vulnerable. But the more she tried to explain herself, the harder the words became. She finally sighed, frustration coloring her voice. βI just donβt know what to do, or what to expect you to do. IβI donβt even know where to start.β
Allen exhaled slowly, thoughtfully, watching Milaβs anxiety rising. She was brave, he knew. Braver than most. Confessing feelings when they came from rival families wasnβt easy, especially in their world. Allen admired that courage, but he also knew she needed direction.
He stepped closer, not touching her, but closing the space enough to make their conversation feel intimate, private. βWant to hear my advice?β
Milaβs eyes widened slightly, startled by his directness, and then she nodded quickly. βYes, please.β
Allen gave her a gentle but firm look. βTake it slow, Mila. I understand your feelings clearly, and I respect them. But pulling away from your family, your background, everything you knowβitβs not simple. Itβs not something you rush into. Just calm down for a second. Weβll figure this out, step by step.β
Milaβs expression softened, hope flickering briefly in her eyes. She knew Allen was right, but her heart felt impatient, anxious. βBut taking it slowβ¦ that means it could take forever.β
Allen nodded solemnly. βYouβre right. It probably would.β
She hesitated again, searching his eyes for some hidden meaning, a tiny shred of hope. βSoβ¦ is that really all we can do? Wait forever?β
Allen gave a small, enigmatic smile. βNot necessarily. Thereβs another solution, but itβs risky.β
Milaβs breath caught in her throat, a cautious optimism rising inside her chest. βAnother solution? What do you mean?β

Allenβs gaze drifted briefly over to Vivian, who had tactfully turned away, still gazing at the cityβs skyline, giving them their privacy. His voice was low, serious. βMaybe our families donβt need to be rivals anymore. If the Stoutforge and the Goldborne could find common groundβwork together instead of against each otherβwouldnβt that solve most of our problems?β
Mila stared at him, stunned. The idea wasβ¦ bold. Impossible. But also strangely appealing. βWork together?β she repeated slowly, as if trying to convince herself sheβd heard him correctly.
βExactly,β Allen replied calmly. βIt wouldnβt just solve personal issues. It could benefit both our families immensely. Business-wise, reputation-wiseβit could change everything.β
Mila went silent for a long moment, her mind racing with scenarios. Sheβd grown up listening to her father and older brother talk about the Goldbornes with grudging respect and endless frustration. Rivalries that ran generations deep werenβt something easily overcome. But maybeβjust maybeβAllen had a point.
βIt does sound good,β Mila admitted softly, her eyes lifting to his face again, hesitant but hopeful. βBut youβre right. Itβs incredibly risky. I donβt think my family would just accept it.β
Allen leaned back against the sleek meeting table casually, his posture relaxed but eyes sharp with calculation. βYouβre right. And neither might mine. This isnβt a conversation we can decide alone. Itβs business. Your father and my father would need to see clear, undeniable benefits. They might outright refuse at first.β
