---
The quiet hum of the afternoon was broken by a single, hesitant pause. Wynn held her phone tightly, her heart beating a little faster than she wanted to admit. She had called Trevor for a reason—one that felt fragile even to her own ears. She hesitated, just for a moment, gathering her thoughts before the words finally slipped out.
The purpose of her call: the project. The one the Locket family desperately wanted.
On the other end of the line, Trevor's voice was calm, measured, as if he were turning memories over in his mind. "I think I did hear about a project like this before," he said. "It's already time for the bidding? Which companies are participating?"
Wynn recited the names carefully—each one a heavyweight, a titan in the industry. Velotra. Data Wing. And of course, Yoda Vision. Her own family's company, Locket Tech, soundly smaller, hungrier, and infinitely more vulnerable. She let the names hang in the air, as if hoping they might sound less intimidating spoken aloud.
They didn't.
Trevor let out a quiet breath from his side. "With so many big companies involved," he said, his tone carrying the weight of simple truth, "it'll be almost impossible for Locket Tech to win."
Wynn already knew that. She had known it before she made the call. Harvey knew it. Everyone in the family knew it. But knowing was different from accepting. They needed something more than a polished proposal. They needed connections, influence, a quiet hand of support that could tilt the scales just enough to give them a fighting chance.
But that was not something she could say outright. Some requests, if spoken too plainly, lose their power and become nothing more than desperate pleas.
So she simply said, "That's true, but the family still really hopes to win this project..."
She heard Trevor pause—a pause that felt longer than it actually was. Then his voice returned, smooth but guarded. "I see... I've been quite busy these past couple of days. I'll have someone go over the proposal later."
Wynn felt her shoulders loosen just a fraction. That was something. Not everything, but something. "Okay." She paused, then added from the heart, "Thank you, Trevor."
They exchanged a few more words, but it was clear Trevor had matters to deal with. The call ended gently, leaving Wynn with a fragile sense of relief growing in her chest.
When the Locket family learned that Trevor had agreed to send someone to help, a collective sigh of relief rippled through them. They allowed themselves to believe, for a short while, that perhaps the tide was turning.
Not long after, someone from Trevor's side reached out. The contact was professional, almost impersonal. They reviewed the proposal carefully, and with Harvey's approval, made several revisions—tweaking technical details, adjusting financial projections, sharpening the language to make it more competitive. The proposal read better now. It breathed with a new confidence.
But that was all.
When the same person left, Harvey couldn't help but stare after him for a moment, his brow furrowed. He turned to Wynn, his voice low with worry. "Did Mr. Fleming only give these instructions?"
The man adjusted his glasses and smiled. "Yes."
"Is there anything else in the proposal that still needs adjustment?"
Of course not. The proposal itself was fine. But what they truly needed—backing, connections, a powerful corporate name attached to their bid—remained absent. That was not something they could ask of an outsider. Wynn stood silently nearby, her eyes lowered, understanding the unsaid words hanging heavily in the air between them.
After Harvey left, the man's gaze shifted toward her. She knew exactly what Harvey wanted—she could feel the unspoken request burning in his parting glance. Call Trevor again. Find out what's really going on.
Wynn didn't need to be asked twice. She wanted answers just as badly. She dialed Trevor's number, her finger pressing the screen with a nervous touch. The call rang. And rang. And then went unanswered.
Maybe he was busy. Maybe he would call back soon.
But two more days passed. She called twice more. Each time, the same silence. The void on the other end of the line stretched wider, and with every unanswered ring, the light of hope grew a little dimmer.
Then came the day of the bid.
Wynn arrived alongside Harvey, dressed in sharp business attire that felt more like armor than fashion. They entered the conference venue—a grand, glass-walled space filled with the quiet confidence of powerful corporations. The air was charged with ambition.
Then, almost instantly, Wynn caught sight of a familiar face.
Celeste.
Their gazes met across the room—cool, measured, unreadable. Neither of them spoke. Words weren't necessary. The tension between them said everything.
Wynn had heard that Yoda Vision wasn't particularly interested in this project. They were already stretched thin, swamped with other commitments. Originally, they hadn't planned to participate in the bid at all. But somewhere along the way, that changed. Someone had decided it was worth their time.
Celeste had deliberately made time to prepare a proposal. All because she had learned that the Locket family was paying attention to this project.
Her motives were clear: she didn't need to win. She just needed to make sure the Locket family didn't.
With a calm, almost dismissive grace, Celeste withdrew her gaze and turned back to her team. Wynn's heart sank, but she kept her expression steady. She had to. The bidding room was no place for weakness.
As the proceedings began, the presence of the major corporations filled the space like enormous tidal waves. Each presentation was polished, backed by decades of experience, massive resources, and the unspoken promise of influence. The Locket family presented their revised proposal with all the strength they could muster, but it was like bringing a well-crafted boat to face the open ocean.
Just as the Locket family had anticipated, not long after the bidding got underway, their expressions darkened. One by one, the advantages of the other companies became glaringly obvious. Their own strengths—what had seemed so promising in the quiet confines of their own planning—suddenly looked limited, fragile, almost naive in comparison.
The weight of that realization pressed down on Wynn's chest. She glanced at Harvey. His jaw was tight, his eyes fixed ahead, watching their hopes slowly slip away.
And somewhere in the back of her mind, the unanswered calls, the silent phone, and Trevor's absence echoed louder than any of the presentations in that room.

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
This chapter fills the heart with a heavy, aching tension. It's a quiet storm with no thunder—just the slow, painful draining of hope. Wynn's desperation is palpable, and Trevor's drifting silence creates a melancholic undercurrent. The moment that truly stings is seeing Celeste's cold calculation: not to win, but simply to block the Locket family from ever reaching the light. It's a painful reminder that sometimes our deepest obstacles aren't the ones we can fight, but the ones who decide we shouldn't even be in the race. Beautifully written, emotionally resonant, and the closing scene at the bid feels like watching a glass shatter in slow motion. For me, this is a powerful, heart-rending chapter that builds anticipation for what comes next.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ Rating: 4.6 / 5 Stars
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
The bid results will likely go against Locket Tech, and the family will face a crushing defeat. But in the aftermath, Wynn's frustration with Trevor's silence may boil over into a confrontation—or perhaps a desperate last-minute intervention will turn everything upside down. I predict we'll see Celeste gloating over her victory, and Harvey forced to make a hard choice about the family's future. Yet, shadows of hope may emerge from unexpected corners, possibly through Trevor finally revealing why he went quiet, or someone else stepping in to offer a lifeline when all seems lost.
