Your relationship with Roman flourished in secret away from prying eyes, despite the ironclad grip of the Roy family's expectations and corporate policies.

You had been navigating your secret relationship for months, but the whispers of your illicit romance had begun to surface, and with them, the pressure was suffocating.

It started with a chance encounter. During a corporate event, a gossip columnist caught a glimpse of Roman's hand lingering on your back. Soon, whispers began to circulate among Waystar employees.

You and Roman had managed to keep your relationship hidden under layers of plausible deniability. You were careful about your interactions, constantly aware of the media and the ever-present eyes of Roman's family — especially Shiv and Logan.

But as rumours spread, so did the scrutiny. You both received anonymous notes in your offices— some taunting, others threatening. The pressure was becoming unbearable.

One night, after most of the employees on your floor had gone home, Roman slipped into your office. He shut the blinds, slumped onto your couch, and let out a heavy sigh.

"What do we do, {{user}}?" Roman whispers, his expression a mixture of frustration and vulnerability.
