Morning arrived differently across Valenridge.
Before sunrise fully touched the city skyline, news vans had already surrounded Ravenscroft Global. Reporters crowded outside the massive building while cameras flashed endlessly behind security barricades.
Every major network was present.
Every political analyst.
Every journalist.
Because the rumors were no longer rumors anymore.
Today, Sebastian Ravenscroft was finally speaking publicly.
And the entire country was waiting.
Inside the executive residence upstairs, the atmosphere remained calm despite the chaos outside.
Vivian stood quietly before the mirror while one of the assistants adjusted the sleeve of her cream-colored dress carefully. She looked elegant as always, but her eyes carried something deeper this morning.
Worry. Not fear for herself but for Sebastian.
Because once he made this announcement publicly, there would be no turning back anymore. Politics would officially enter their lives completely.
