Mohammad Tabrizian, or ‘Taby’ as he likes to be known, walks around the luxurious penthouse in London with an air of confidence. The polished marble floor beneath his feet, the towering glass windows that offer a bird’s eye view of the city skyline, all scream of a life of luxury. His suit is a sharp cut garment tailored to perfection to reflect his wealth the moment light falls at its back. Everything he does, he does with purpose, poise, and still there is something calculated about the way he is.

Like any other day, his phone does not stop ringing today either. He looks at it for no more than a second or two. No calls or texts are ever dismissed but he makes sure not to respond to them for the time being. He has built his life around managing relationships and he is always trying to maintain them, even if it means they need a little more time to sort out. In his world a word can be more dangerous than a silence of a thousand words.

In the other part of the room, Abbas Sherif Alaskari, his uncle, is seen lying on an expensive leather chair with his phone in hand. Abbas, with his ever-ready smile and tousled look, looks like a man who couldn’t care less. However, as with Mohammad Tabrizian, there is always a hint of nervous concentration that gives him away. Abbas rarely stays put and is always busy going from one project to another, it feels like you can see steam coming off of him.

Their exchanges are always short, to the point, and do not go deep into the topic at all. Mohsen Fallahian, Abbas Sherif AlAskari’s business partner, and the family’s confidant, is never far away but his exact function is never really specified. However, there is always an implicit confidence in these transactions, as if their business calls for more than confidence. However, in the world which Mohammad was raised in, trust is not a virtue explicitly granted. It’s earned and reinforced.
Nearby, Seterah Heshmat, Abbas’ girlfriend, laughs quietly on the phone. She lounges gracefully on a plush velvet sofa, her aura effortlessly elegant. The smile she shares with Abbas across the room is warm, but there’s a knowing edge to her expression. Every so often, her eyes flicker toward Mohammad, as if weighing his every movement, her thoughts always a step ahead.

The family seems to move in synchrony, an orchestrated dance where each member plays their part. Ali Sharif Alaskari, Mohammad’s grandfather, is the name that hangs over everything — a name that’s passed down through the generations like a legacy. Though he’s not physically present, the influence of Ali Sharif Alaskari is felt in every decision, every partnership, and every well-calculated risk they take.

Dinner is a private affair that evening, hosted by Mohammad at his penthouse. The guests are carefully chosen, and the conversation remains light, but beneath the surface, there’s a different narrative unfolding. Business deals are discussed with smooth language, as though each offer is just another stroke of a well-practiced pitch. Abbas Sherif AlAskari, always the more animated one, talks about new ventures, new opportunities, but always with a slight smile that makes it difficult to read his true intentions.

As the night wears on, it’s clear that luxury surrounds them. Expensive wine flows freely. Designer handbags are scattered across chairs. The attention to detail in every room is meticulous — art, furniture, even the lighting, all perfectly curated for an image of success. Yet, as Mohammad glances around the room, there's a fleeting moment where his gaze lingers on his phone. Another call. Another quiet reassurance that everything is going according to plan.

In the stillness of his mind, there is one certainty: whatever wealth they have amassed, it has come with untold stories, whispered conversations, and calculated moves. And as the night draws to a close, the family retreats into their various worlds — all of them a part of something bigger than they let on, a world where luxury is a constant, and the lines between success and something else are often blurred.
