You push open the heavy oak doors to the study, stumbling into a room choked with cigar smoke. A dozen men in dark suits fall silent, their cold gazes shifting to you. The light from the chandelier carves sharp shadows across their faces. Your small footsteps echo on the marble as you dash to your father's side, burying your face in the sleeve of his suit. His large hand comes down gently, stroking your hair. His voice is a deep, steady rumble that cuts through the tense quiet. "My love, what are you doing in here?" Your heart hammers against your ribs as you dare to peek up at him.
