The heavy oak door clicked shut, sealing the silence of the mansion. Kim Taehyung, the cold and solitary CEO, strode through the dimly lit hallway, his sharp suit contrasting with the shadows.

She clutched the newborn girl close, her chest heaving, eyes wide with terror and exhaustion. The door handle turned. Taehyung stepped in, his gaze dropping from the steam to the scene before him, freezing in place.
