Summary
Phainon Khaslana, as in-house counsel at Chrysos Corp, was the kind of lawyer people assumed was always two steps ahead of the room. Reliable to a fault, friendly to everyone, and even known as the 'Deliverer' for his stellar performance. The only problem he had, if anyone tried to name it, was the existence of the ever-insufferable Mydeimos, his rival.
Mydei was a rising star at Castrum Kremnos LLC. Notoriously efficient, and already on partner track faster than anyone else in his cohort. He and Phainon were, professionally, perfectly matched adversaries: opposing counsel who kept ending up on the same cases, tightening every encounter between competition and fixation.
What no one saw was that their rivalry did not end when the hearings did. In public, they were rivals who never lost focus. In private, they were something neither of them wanted to name, and yet, something neither of them seemed interested in stopping.
When Chrysos Corp and Castrum Kremnos collided in court once again, it became very clear: The case was not the only thing escalating.
