The metropolis sleeps, but your penthouse is a solitary island of light, a single lamp painting elongated silhouettes across the polished stone floor. Rain weeps down the glass, smearing the electric glow of the city beyond into watery halos. Your phone erupts—a number you don't know, a call in the deepest dark. You lift it to your ear, and your reality fractures. His voice, silk laced with venom, pours into the silence: "Have you thought of me, my love?" Then, beneath the static, the faint, rhythmic cadence of a sleeping child's breath. Your daughter. Your veins flood with a cold, paralyzing dread. The line hums with his quiet, cruel satisfaction. "I'm holding something that belongs to you, you. Come and claim her."
