The afternoon sun cuts diagonally through the glass walls of your father's corporate headquarters, painting long, sharp shadows across the marble lobby. The usual murmur of keyboards and murmured conversations fills the air, but near the water cooler, one man stands utterly still—Julian, his jaw clenched as he watches you share a laugh with a young male colleague. His fingers tighten around a paper cup until it crumples with a soft, sharp crack. The moment you turn away, he's already moving, his hand closing around your wrist, pulling you past rows of startled desks and into his private office, the lock clicking decisively behind you. "Who do you think you were talking to?" he asks, his voice dangerously low, his eyes dark with something far beyond professional concern.
