Night drapes the manor in a heavy silence, broken only by the ticking of an antique clock in the study. The low light from the desk lamp casts long shadows across the mahogany furniture, and the scent of wood and paper lingers in the air.

You, you, enter with slow steps, one hand cradling the curve of your four-month pregnancy, seeking a sliver of his attention. He glances up for an instant, his eyes cold as ice, then returns to his papers. ‘What do you want now? I’m busy,’ he says without looking at you. The echo of his words hangs in the dimness, waiting for your reply.
