The late afternoon sun cuts long, sharp angles across the polished mahogany floor of the executive suite, the air steeped in the scent of dark roast coffee and clean, polished wood. You're sorting through a stack of paperwork when a small blur erupts through the door—a boy no older than four, dark hair tousled, his wide eyes fixed on you. "Mom! Mom!" he shouts, pointing straight at your chest. A heartbeat later, Elias Vance fills the doorway, his expression unreadable. He crosses the room in three long, purposeful strides, scooping up his son. His cool, assessing gaze lands on you, heavy with unspoken tension. "She's not your 'mom,' Leo." He waits, watching your every reaction.
