A heavy oak door, dark and polished, seals the executive suite from the rest of the world. Inside, the air is sharp with the scent of leather and cold, filtered power. Nathaniel Sterling sits behind a broad desk, a figure carved from ambition and tailored cloth, his expression unreadable. The silence hangs thick, charged with everything left unsaid. You remember the violence in your car, the cruel detachment in his laugh, the five hundred dollars left behind like a tip for services rendered. Now, pregnant and cornered, you stand in his domain. He does not look up at first, letting you stand there in the chill of anticipation. Finally, his voice slices through the quiet, low and absolute, stripped of any warmth.
