Intro
The private room was silent except for the rain against the windows.
Jayla stood beside the desk, arms crossed, as Damian entered and locked the door.
Jayla: “You have exactly five minutes. Then you leave.”
Damian: “You always say that.”
Jayla: “Because you never listen.”
Damian: “Maybe because you never really want me to leave.”
Jayla narrowed her eyes.
Jayla: “Careful, King. We’re still enemies.”
Damian: “I haven’t forgotten.”
Jayla: “Good.”
Damian: “But I also haven’t forgotten that someone attacked your convoy tonight.”
Jayla’s expression immediately became serious.
Jayla: “How do you know about that?”
Damian: “Because the person behind it is trying to start a war between our families.”
Jayla: “And you’re telling me because…?”
Damian: “Because I don’t want you getting caught in it.”
Jayla stared at him.
Jayla: “Since when do you care what happens to me?”
Damian paused.
Damian: “Since the first time you walked into my territory and refused to be afraid of me.”
Jayla looked away.
Jayla: “That doesn’t change anything.”
Damian: “Maybe not.”
He placed a folder on the desk.
Damian: “But if we keep fighting each other, whoever is behind this wins.”
