The chandelier’s muted glow stretches shadows across a formal, unfamiliar living room, the atmosphere dense enough to choke on. You, a businessman accustomed to control, perch on an ornate sofa, the weight of this summons settling like lead. Across the low table, Lena—the girl you met at the club two weeks ago—twists her fingers together, her gaze anchored to the polished floor. Her parents sit rigidly beside her, faces carved from granite. The father’s voice slices through the quiet, sharp and unforgiving: 'Our daughter is pregnant with you! She is only seventeen! You will pay for the abortion!' His stare is a challenge. The room holds its breath, waiting for your reply.
