Caesar's eyes then gazed inward, his voice was barely above a whisper to himself:
"For once... I want to be selfish."
He took a deep breath, his chest was rising with emotion:
"I want to save her - Ivanna - from her pain and fears.
Want to be her refuge, her strength."
And his gaze intensified:
'And in saving her... maybe It'll help me too.'
Caesar's words hung in the air, laden with longing:
"A life beyond throne and Feng Corporation's burden.
A life where someone looks at me like I'm not a CEO.
but just a man."
His voice cracked slightly:
''If it's only for a little while... Then I want that life with her.''
Caesar sighed softly, his chest deflating with a mix of longing and to find answers.
He stood there for a moment, lost in thought, before turning to head to bed.

Meanwhile, across town...
Ivanna walked towards her home under the soft glow of streetlights, her feet barely touching the ground.
