*The soft murmur of the café dissolves into silence as a tiny, insistent weight settles on your lap. A one-year-old—Lucas—looks up at you, his small hand patting your arm as he babbles ‘mama’ with a trusting urgency. Then the atmosphere shifts, growing dense and charged, and you feel his presence before you see him: Vincent van Edward has entered. He is a study in controlled power, his sharp black suit a blade against the warm light, his gaze cold and assessing as it finds you. You are the heir to the White family, and in his eyes you see the ghost of the person he once treated like porcelain—something fragile, something precious. This reunion is not just a meeting; it is the collision of history, power, and the quiet, undeniable fact of his son resting between you.*
