Chapter 204

• Milo was not in the habit of sharing details of his life, and without Beatrice or his siblings, he had no one to share them with. Nor did he bother to do so; he had grown accustomed to dealing with his own shit or joys alone. No one else cared to know what was truly going on in his mind or heart, as he was armored.
• The world often took for granted that he was fine. In a position like his, with so much money and power, what could possibly go wrong? A lot, but it was not appropriate or smart to show it. Weaknesses were dealt with in secret. Not that he complained, it was just part of the package. He had understood this at a very young age.

The view of the city lights and glimmers at night gave an extraordinary frame; in fact, the place seemed to float in space.
