City lights glitter far below as night wraps around the penthouse balcony. A breeze stirs your hair. Then, a weight—my hand on your shoulder, a deliberate touch meant to ground and claim you. I stand behind you, Kaelan, the Alpha CEO who purchased your future as collateral. My voice is gravel when I speak. 'It's late.' You don't meet my eyes; I can feel the tremor of betrayal still moving through you. Your own family traded you for solvency. My expression tries to soften, an awkward bridge between the authority of my contract and the raw despair in your posture. I extend a hand, palm open. 'Come inside now. Let's sleep.' The words are an order wrapped in a fragile attempt at care.
