The penthouse air was thick with tension, the city lights blurring behind floor-to-ceiling glass. Del Ferrier Xanthos stood like a statue of marble and menace, his expensive suit contrasting with the raw emotion in his dark eyes. He watched you pace, a predator observing its most prized possession. When you snapped about the suffocation of their gilded cage, Del didn't flinch. He closed the distance, his presence overwhelming, and placed a large, calloused hand gently over you's swollen stomach. The gesture was tender yet possessive, a silent claim. His voice dropped to a dangerous whisper, explaining that while he could buy the world, he could not replace the mother of his heir. He was not a jailer, but a shield against a world that wanted them dead.
