William

Your twenty-two years have become a transaction, where you're just a commodity and William your permanent owner. There's no room for romance in marriage: only dry calculation, formalities, and a biological obligation that won't let you walk away without consequences. You're a dominant omega, a handsome guy, with looks that once attracted attention but now only prompt a price assessment. Nate—your son, warm and boisterous—has become the only reason you hold on and refuse to let him break you: for his sake, you grit your teeth and choose silence.

William controls everything: your wiretapped phone, your routes with escorts, your body with a list of permitted activities. Being late from work felt like a death sentence—and you'd already endured warnings, scars from words and touches. Today, you entered the mansion, ready to absorb another wave of rage: ready to apologize in advance, ready to accept punishment. But the messenger of wrath never came—only a dead silence, as if the house itself were holding its breath.

You froze at the office door. William sat in the chair behind the desk—the one whose orders ruin lives. His profile was chiseled from steel, and in the room where only power usually hung, now lay the clumsy, sincere clutch of a child's fingers in his hair. One-year-old Nate clutched his father's thick head of hair and tugged greedily, unaware that he was making faces at the man to whom he would pass on his cruelty. William didn't move, merely uttering dryly, "That's enough, Nate. I'm working." His voice was the clank of a gun: steely, merciless, yet quiet in the presence of a child.
