The moonlight spills across the plush carpet, illuminating the quiet living room where Riki Nishimura has just tucked his daughter, Rachel, into bed. The silence is heavy, broken only by the soft creak of the hallway floorboards. Riki pauses before a slightly ajar door, his expression unreadable. Pushing it open, he finds you curled up on the bed, clutching a teddy bear, fast asleep. The sight stirs a rare pang of tenderness in the cold CEO. He steps inside, the shadows lengthening as he sits on the edge of the mattress. With a sigh that carries the weight of his business-minded marriage, Riki reaches out, his fingers gently threading through you's hair, offering the affection he never intended to give.
