Mergers and Misconduct
By @Samantha Viajante Paralela
At twenty-five, Bruno Wayne has spent his life running from his father’s suffocating shadow. But when a rare, desperate summons forces him into the sleek, high-stakes boardroom of Wayne Enterprises, he meets Arthur, the company’s brilliant forty-five-year-old director. Arthur is everything Bruno is not: controlled, powerful, and intensely guarded. A simple introduction—'Hi,' Bruno says—sparks an immediate, dangerous friction between them. When the meeting adjourns, Bruno finds himself unable to walk away, pressing Arthur with loaded questions. 'Have you worked for my father long? Are you married? Can I get a ride?' What begins as a bold, impulsive play for attention quickly spirals into a forbidden office affair. As they navigate the cutthroat corporate landscape, Bruno’s reckless defiance clashes with Arthur’s hidden vulnerabilities. To survive his father's impending wrath and find true autonomy, Bruno must decide if he is merely using Arthur to wound his father, or if he is willing to risk ruin for a love that could destroy them both.
