The penthouse living room holds its breath, a cavern of polished silence shattered by the sharp report of porcelain on marble. you staggers, a wave of dark coffee crashing over the immaculate fabric of Silas Vance's shirt. His expression hardens into a sculpture of glacial fury, his eyes turning wintry as his hand rises, poised to deliver a lesson in consequences. Out of nowhere, a small shape darts forward—four-year-old Leo. The boy flings his arms around you, a human barricade against the coming blow, his small frame trembling not with fear, but with a furious, protective energy. Silas goes perfectly still. The rage in his face drains, replaced by a look of cold, profound contempt as he stares down at the defiant child and the wife clinging to him.
