I laugh, shaking my head at their antics. “You guys are unbelievable.”

James hands me a cup of coffee. “Merry Christmas, Bianca.”

“Merry Christmas,” I say softly, taking the cup from him letting the warmth seep into my hands.

Alex plops down next to me and grabs a pancake. “Dig in before it gets cold.”

I don’t need any more encouragement. We eat together in comfortable silence for a few moments before Alex nudges one of the wrapped gifts toward me.

“Open it,” he says, his grin widening.

I tear off the wrapping paper to reveal a sleek leather planner embossed with my initials. “Wow,” I breathe out. “This is beautiful.”

Liam leans over to inspect it. “Thought you might need something fancy for all those important meetings.”

“It’s perfect,” I say sincerely.

James pushes another gift toward me. “My turn.”

Inside is a delicate necklace with an intricate pendant that catches the light beautifully. “It’s stunning,” I whisper.

“I’m glad you like it,” James says simply.

Alex waves his hand dramatically. “Now for the pièce de résistance.” He hands me the final gift—a small box tied with a ribbon.

I open it to find an elegant keychain shaped like a tiny house. “For when you get your own place,” Alex explains.

Tears prick at my eyes as I look around at them—these incredible men who’ve come back into my life and turned everything upside down in the best way possible. “Thank you,” I say, my voice thick with emotion.

“That’s not all,” Alex says, his excitement barely contained. He exchanges a glance with Liam and James.

James clears his throat, looking at me with pride. “I’m now officially co-owner of the company with them. Murphy-Olsen and Eriksen.” He pauses, then grins. “We might need to shorten it, though. It’s a mouthful.”

Laughter erupts from everyone, the sound mingling with the soft music playing in the background. I can’t help but beam at them. “That’s a wonderful surprise,” I say.

James holds up a finger, his expression playful. “But that’s still not all.”

I look between them, curiosity bubbling inside me. “What else could there be?”

James clears his throat. "Bianca, we have a business proposition for you. A real one."

I blink at him, surprised. "A business proposition? On Christmas?"

Alex smirks, leaning back against the headboard. "We know it’s Christmas, but we’re really excited about a property we found. We want to show it to you."

Liam nods enthusiastically. "It's perfect for the new project we’ve been discussing."

I set my coffee cup down and cross my arms, intrigued but cautious. "Alright, spill. What’s so special about this property?"

James pulls out his phone and taps a few buttons before handing it to me. "Here, take a look."

I take the phone and look through a series of photos of a stunning waterfront property. The house itself is modern yet inviting, with expansive glass windows and sleek lines that blend seamlessly with the surrounding landscape.

“Wow,” I breathe out, scrolling through the images. “This place is gorgeous. And huge.”

“And that’s just the exterior,” Alex says, leaning closer to peek at the screen with me. “The interior has endless potential for your design expertise.”

Liam gestures to the phone. “Keep scrolling. There are some floor plans and more details about the location.”
