Merger Ends 10-Year Feud._ Picture: you in white. Rafael beside you, smiling for cameras. Kairo stared at the headline. Coffee burned his hand. He didn’t feel it. He found you that night. Same rooftop. Same bad coffee. "What the hell?" you didn’t look at him. "I can’t cancel it." "Why? Because of your family? Because of his?" "Because of mine." your voice was quiet. "If I say no, my dad loses everything. 3000 employees. Our name. Everything we’ve fought for." Kairo laughed, bitter. "So you marry him instead." "I marry the contract," she said. "Not him." He wanted to yell. To grab her and run. He was the spare. He had no power. No shares. No say. And she was choosing to burn for her people. "Do you love him?" he asked finally. "No." the silence is loud "Do you love me?" Silence. Then: "Don’t make this harder."
