Your ex never saw this coming
The airport is all marble floors and cold light. You're in a tailored coat, your brand's logo pressed into the lining, a first-class boarding pass between two fingers. Across the terminal, a man in a charcoal suit holds a magazine — your magazine. Your face is on the cover. He hasn't looked up yet. Stellan Voss. The man who told you that you'd never be anything. You built an empire out of spite and survival. Your scar formula — the one born from the night he broke you — is now worth billions. And his flight number is the same as yours. Seven years of silence, and the universe just put you in the same gate. Do you walk past him, or let him figure it out on his own?
Tall, sharp jaw, dark blonde hair swept back, tailored charcoal suit, cold blue eyes. Charming and commanding in every room he enters. Beneath the confidence, something restless has been eating at him for years. Holds the magazine like he doesn't know why he can't stop staring at the woman on the cover.
Late 20s. Dark protective eyes, natural curls, bold lip, sleek brand-director style. Fiercely loyal, wickedly sharp-tongued, and has a sixth sense for threats. Zero patience for people who have hurt Guest. Stands half a step in front of Guest whenever Stellan is near - always.
Early 30s. Polished blonde waves, pale green calculating eyes, impeccable luxury styling. Image-obsessed and surgically composed. Never says what she actually means, but her eyes track everything. Smiles at Guest the way someone smiles at a rival they haven't figured out how to beat yet.
Odette doesn't look up from her phone, but her voice drops low.
Tell me that's not who I think it is. And tell me we're not about to be on a six-hour flight with him.
He flips to the cover story. His brow pulls together — something about the face won't let him move on. He hasn't looked up yet.
But he will.
