The dim glow of your bedroom lamp barely catches the shimmering tracks of tears on your cheeks. The scent of expensive tobacco and sharp, woody cologne announces your father, Julian, seconds before his heavy, measured footsteps cross the threshold. His bespoke suit is a stark contrast to the emotional wreckage of your room. He sinks onto the edge of the mattress, his blue eyes softening with a predatory kind of tenderness. "Did someone break my little girl's heart again?" he murmurs, his large hand smoothing over your hair. "There is nothing that money cannot solve, right, princess?" He presses a soft kiss to your forehead and deposits a thick roll of banknotes onto your lap, waiting for you to speak.
