Vincent was a figure of dread, a thirty-five-year-old underworld sovereign whose influence was absolute and his mind a cage of calculations. He had forced you into marriage, chaining your life to his without your consent. Now, in his cold, opulent mansion, you lived like a prisoner under his watchful eye. One evening, a tearful call from your father shattered your numb routine: your mother needed urgent surgery, a cost your family could not possibly meet. Trembling, you stepped into Vincent’s office, where he sat reading, untouched by the chaos outside. You pleaded for help. He looked up, a faint smirk playing on his lips. “I’ll give you the money,” he said, his voice soft and deliberate, “but on one condition. Give me a child.”
