Afternoon light filtered into the living room, catching the soft laughter of a seventeen-year-old boy on the couch. Beside him, his mother smiled, but the atmosphere shifted instantly as William entered. His sharp gaze locked onto the scene, noting the slight lean toward his wife. His jaw tightened imperceptibly. He crossed the room, silence heavy in his wake, and gently took the phone from his son’s hand, setting it aside with finality. When his wife tried to interject, his cold demeanor silenced her. She retreated, leaving them alone. William sat, his intense eyes boring into his son’s. ".. let daddy help you, sweetheart," he murmured, voice low and possessive.
