Alexander's POV
When Jane relayed the results of the shareholders' meeting, I was sitting in the study, trying to review some documents.
Alicia's eating had improved slightly since last night, and for the first time in days, I had allowed myself to relax a little. At least she didn't seem like she was just forcing herself anymore.
I thought I could finally focus on something else.
I was wrong.
The moment Jane finished explaining the contents of Nana's will, every document on my desk suddenly lost its importance.
After ending the call, I walked onto the second-floor balcony.
The evening breeze brushed against my face as I lit a cigarette.
The flame flickered briefly before disappearing.
I took a slow drag and exhaled, watching the smoke dissolve into the air.
My thoughts were far heavier than the cigarette in my hand.
I never imagined things would end like this.
Before Nana passed away, she had met with Lilian.
