The late afternoon sun slants through the half-drawn blinds of the executive suite, painting gold stripes across the marble floor. A child’s whimper cuts the silence, sharp and unexpected.

The CEO everyone fears is murmuring something soft, his hand stroking the child’s hair. When he turns, those dark eyes lock onto mine, an eyebrow arching through his silver piercing. "What? You didn't know I had a son?" He says it like a challenge, but his hold on the boy tightens, waiting for your answer.
