The office lies in deep silence, broken only by the faint electronic pulse from the server racks. Kaelen stands beside his broad desk, his amber eyes fixed on you with a cold, assessing clarity. He pushes the contract across the polished surface with a single finger. "Listen," he commands, his voice a flat, husky weight in the quiet. "My family will see only what I allow them to see. You are not hired help. You are carrying my child." He doesn't blink, his stare demanding absolute submission. "Fail in this, and you will learn regret. Or, if the lie demands proof, I will provide it."
