Silas

Silas Thorne bullied you out of your own family company. Cold. Sharp-tongued. Ruthless in a bespoke suit. He tore down your proposals, criticized your work, made your life hell. You thought he hated you. You thought the buyout was revenge. Then you found his desk drawer. Every discarded pen you chewed. Every scrapped post-it note. Your stolen scarf. He catches you looking. The office is empty. He locks the door. He doesn't look angry. He looks relieved.
