Lucas stood motionless, the phone resting lightly in his palm as though it might shatter under too much pressure.

The screen glowed faintly in the dim room, casting a soft reflection across his otherwise unreadable expression. Shadows played across the sharp angles of his face, softening features that were usually set in careful control.

He exhaled… slow and measured, then gave a small shake of his head, almost as if trying to dislodge something invisible that had taken root there.

    Lucas didn't rush.He never rushed. Even after that strange, unexplainable morning, he moved through his routine with his usual precision. The memory of what had happened clung to him like morning fog, refusing to dissipate entirely.A faint distraction at the back of his mind, persistent and unwelcome. A pair of sleepy eyes staring at him through a screen, unguarded and vulnerable in a way that had caught him completely off guard. A flustered voice, breathless with surprise. A scream that still echoed faintly in his ears.He adjusted his cufflinks, his jaw tightening slightly. The motion was automatic, practiced, a physical anchor to pull himself back to the present.Focus.The hallway outside Lucas' room was already alive with the sounds of a household in motion. Soft footsteps echoed against polished floors. Muted voices drifted from distant rooms. The distant clink of porcelain against glass signaled breakfast preparations underway.Morning had settled into the house with the kind

    Lucas stood motionless, the phone resting lightly in his palm as though it might shatter under too much pressure.The screen glowed faintly in the dim room, casting a soft reflection across his otherwise unreadable expression. Shadows played across the sharp angles of his face, softening features that were usually set in careful control.He exhaled… slow and measured, then gave a small shake of his head, almost as if trying to dislodge something invisible that had taken root there."This has to stop," he murmured under his breath, the words barely audible in the stillness.It wasn't like him. None of this was. He prided himself on discipline, on the ability to compartmentalize every aspect of his life into neat, manageable sections.Yet here he was, holding onto a call he had no reason to continue, watching a woman sleep on the other side of a screen as if her presence somehow anchored him to something he couldn't name.It was irrational. Unnecessary. A disruption to the carefully con

    The call ended.The screen went dark.And Nina, completely alone in her apartment froze for exactly two seconds before she released a muffled scream into her palm."Arghhh!"She hurled the phone onto the couch as though it had personally betrayed her. It bounced once against the cushions, the screen still glowing faintly before fading to black."This is so embarrassing!"Her voice echoed in the quiet room, bouncing off bare walls that suddenly felt too close. She began pacing immediately, dragging her fingers through her hair until the strands tangled around her knuckles. Her heart hammered against her ribs,.. not from fear, but from the mortifying replay of every word she'd just said."And I actually argued with him—"She stopped mid-step, one foot hovering above the hardwood floor."…I argued with him."Her face scrunched up as realization sank deeper, settling like a stone in her stomach. Heat crept up her neck, spreading across her cheeks in waves she couldn't control."Is he laug

    Ethan didn't stop running until he reached his room.The door shut behind him with a soft thud… Click.Locked.Safe.He leaned against it for a moment, his small chest rising and falling as he caught his breath, as if he had just escaped something truly dangerous. His fingers trembled slightly as they gripped the phone.Then he lifted it again, bringing the screen close to his face.Nina's image filled the display, her expression warm and expectant. He stared at her, gathering his thoughts with the seriousness of someone preparing to deliver crucial testimony.His jaw set. His eyes focused. Then, with the complete conviction of a prosecutor presenting damning evidence, he spoke;"...Bad."A weighted pause."...Daddy bad."For a second, Nina blinked, processing the solemn declaration. Then she burst into laughter. A soft, uncontrollable sound that filled the quiet of her apartment, bubbling up from somewhere deep and genuine. She pressed her hand to her mouth, but it did nothing to con

    Nina stared at her phone for a long time.Too long.The screen had dimmed at least three times before she tapped it awake again, the blue light casting shadows across her face in the darkened room.Her thumb hovered over Lucas's contact, trembling slightly.She didn't press it.Didn't move.Just… stared, as if the name itself might offer some answer to the question she couldn't quite articulate.A quiet breath escaped her lips.This was ridiculous. It was just a call. Just a child… a boy who needed someone to check on him. And yet, her chest constricted, that familiar tightness wrapping around her ribs like a vice.Because children… Children had always been something she avoided, kept at arm's length with polite smiles and careful distance.Not out of dislike. Not out of indifference. But because of something far worse, something that lived beneath her skin like a second heartbeat.Pain.A slow, lingering ache that never truly left, no matter how many years passed or how deeply she bu

    The room fell quiet after Axel's question."Do you actually know anything about that girl?"Lucas didn't answer immediately.For a man who prided himself on precision, on preparation, on staying ten steps ahead of everyone else, the silence stretched longer than it should have. It hung in the air between them, heavy with unspoken admission.Axel noticed, naturally. He had always possessed an uncanny ability to read the spaces between words.Lucas's fingers, which had been resting lightly on the polished surface of his desk, stilled completely. His gaze drifted not toward Axel, but somewhere else entirely, somewhere inward, to a place he rarely allowed himself to visit.For the first time that night, uncertainty flickered across his features. Then came the realization, creeping in like dawn through shuttered windows.Lucas slowly leaned back in his chair, the leather creaking softly beneath his weight. The faintest crease appeared between his brows as he confronted an uncomfortable tru
