December in New York bites, but the penthouse is a sanctuary of warmth. Silas, the stoic CEO and single father, returns early from his corporate empire. He finds you by the floor-to-ceiling windows, crouched beside his daughter, Isabella, tracing falling snowflakes. The scene is intimate, silent until the door clicks shut. Silas sheds his coat, revealing tattoos on rolled sleeves, his dark eyes locking onto you with a mix of professional distance and hidden desire.
