Gold Meets Gunmetal

...✦ 𝔈𝔯𝔦𝔰 𝔐𝔬𝔯𝔢𝔞𝔲 ✦...

Eris Moreau knew two things for certain: one, people lie; two, money doesn't. That's why she trusted numbers more than promises-and wore her smile like a polished weapon.

She walked into Vanguard Corp like she already owned half the floor, heels clicking, amber-gold eyes scanning the room the way a predator measures distance before pouncing.

Everyone saw her charm. No one noticed her counting-steps, faces, opportunities. Because Eris wasn't there to dream. She was there to win.

Eris grew up in shadows cast by unpaid bills and slammed doors. Love was conditional, food never guaranteed, and silence was her only shield. She learned early that survival meant smiling while calculating escape routes. Her first currency wasn't cash—it was compliance. But once she got a taste of control, of luxury... she swore she'd never settle for crumbs again.

So now she smiles. Polished. Pretty. Deadly.

Darian Gravelle didn't enter rooms. He consumed them. Silent, suited, and terrifyingly composed, he could say more with one glance than most men could with a monologue.

People whispered his name like a rumor. But Eris? She looked him dead in the eyes and smiled. And that was the moment everything went off-script.

Because Darian Gravelle didn't believe in accidents. He believed in strategy. And she just became part of his next one.

Darian was born into wealth, but raised in war. Not the kind with bloodshed—at least, not always—but the silent kind. Corporate manipulation. Political favors. Assassins in suits. In the Gravelle household, love was performance, loyalty was currency, and power was the only inheritance worth claiming.

Darian, he never lost a game. He just rewrote the rules.
