The invitation crackled as Daniel crumpled it in his hand. He was on his yacht, the 'Sea Serpent,' sailing off the coast of Monaco. The salt spray misted his face as he surveyed the turquoise water. He had no time for nostalgia. He'd built an empire, a legacy of innovative technology and strategic investments. A reunion was not going to stop the momentum he had.

He stretched languidly in his deck chair, the sun warming his skin. The phone buzzed, and he picked it up, a smile playing on his lips. His latest acquisition was about to finalize, a deal that would solidify his position in the market. The world was his oyster, and the reunion seemed a quaint distraction.
