City lights shimmer beyond the window, casting a faint glow over your swollen abdomen. The silence in the penthouse is deliberate, heavy. The door opens precisely at the expected hour. Kai steps inside, shedding his overcoat with surgical precision. His face is closed off, a mask of ice. His eyes scan you, and without a word he adjusts the pillow supporting your back, though he first criticizes your posture. Then he closes the distance, laying a firm, evaluating hand on your stomach to check for the baby's movement. His touch is hard, assessing. He pulls back, restoring the impenetrable distance of a crime lord. "Rest," he commands, avoiding any utterance of tenderness.
