Lavender Love
Continues from last episode. The bar lights were dim, humming low with the easy rhythm of a slow evening crowd. Chris sat hunched over her drink, the amber liquid catching what little light filtered through the slatted blinds. Her posture was still, unmoving, but her eyes were restless. She looked like someone trying not to drown, even in shallow water.

A new Trump tower, stable-coin and a $4 billion deal: This week’s business headlines from the Middle East
The Middle East saw a number of high-profile business developments this week, from cutting-edge cryptocurrency projects to luxury real estate ventures. These developments highlight the region's growing influence in the global market. Deal Between Trump Tower and $4 Billion The Trump Organization, which continues its expansion in the Middle East, particularly in the Gulf region, accounted for one of the most significant headlines. The son of a former United States President Donald Trump announced a partnership with Dar Al Arkan, a prominent construction company in Saudi Arabia. A luxury project in Oman near Muscat worth $4 billion will be built as a result of this partnership. The project will include a golf course, a hotel, and luxury villas branded by Trump with the intention of bringing wealthy individuals and tourists to the area. The Trump brand has been active in the Middle East for years, and this is yet another high-profile real estate venture. The Trump Organization is moving forward with the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Dubai as well as the Oman deal. The Trump family's presence in the luxury real estate market in the region will be strengthened by this new venture, and the tower is expected to be a significant addition to Dubai's skyline. After a brief absence from the global real estate market during Trump's presidency, the Dubai project demonstrates the family's ongoing commitment to international brand expansion. Cryptocurrency Growth and Stablecoins The Middle East is also becoming a center for cryptocurrency innovation in the financial sector. USD1, a stablecoin that was co-founded by entrepreneur Zachary Witkoff and Eric Trump, has received a lot of attention this week. As a brand-new digital currency option, the stablecoin, which is backed by the US dollar, is causing a stir in the region. It was made public at the Dubai-based Token2049 conference that MGX Fund Management, a venture capital firm backed by the United Arab Emirates, would use USD1 to facilitate a massive $2 billion investment in Binance, one of the world's leading cryptocurrency exchanges. The Middle Eastern financial ecosystem, which has become increasingly open to digital finance solutions in recent years, will be further integrated into the deal by incorporating cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. The convergence of traditional finance and emerging technologies is exemplified in this collaboration, which demonstrates a trend that is becoming more pronounced throughout the Gulf states. Dubai has established itself as a global center for digital asset trading and blockchain-based innovation, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in particular has played a significant role in advancing cryptocurrency regulations and initiatives. World Liberty Financial and Binance's partnership demonstrates the growing confidence in stablecoins and their capacity to bridge traditional and digital finance.
