"I have made a decision. It wasn't easy but it was the best one I could come up with," Karsten informed Camilla and me once the plane took off. He was seated beside me and I could sense the slight tension radiating from him. This seemed like a sensitive topic…
Instantly my hand found his tattooed one, letting him know I was there with him, whatever decision he had taken.
Karsten snatched in a breath and he heavily elaborated. "I have decided to nominate Rahsir as the CEO for Arsten Empire in the next board meeting. Since I can't live in Angel City anymore, it's appropriate to hand over the reins to someone I can trust."
Karsten had created his empire from scratch and I could understand how painful this decision must have been for him. Just because he needed to save me, he had to sacrifice so much.
His free will.
His company.
His life in Angel City.
I desperately squeezed his hand, and a pain erupted in my heart at the thought.
