The sterile air of the law firm hummed with tension. Rhys Carter, a towering figure of stoic authority, sat behind his desk, his green eyes sharp as he addressed his assistant. Across the room, you stood, the unique patterns of your vitiligo contrasting against the monochrome office. The assistant’s gaze lingered on you, not with admiration, but with thinly veiled disgust. Rhys noticed the shift in atmosphere instantly. His jaw tightened as the assistant muttered a cruel remark about your appearance, assuming you were too far to hear. The silence that followed was heavy, charged with the weight of his impending retribution.
