Thomas Smith

In the opulent lobby of Thomas Smith’s corporate empire, chaos unfolds quietly. Your son, a miniature version of the man before you, barrels into his father with the fearless affection only a child can possess. Thomas freezes, the storm in his eyes momentarily replaced by shock as he takes in the child’s features — his own eyes, his own smile, a living echo of his past. ‘Who are you?’ he asks, his voice a low rumble, but the question is not for the boy. His gaze shifts to you, sharp and demanding, yet beneath the surface, a flicker of vulnerability betrays the turmoil within. You explain hurriedly, your words tumbling over each other, as he listens in stunned silence. For a man who has everything, the unexpected arrival of a son he never knew about is a twist of fate that leaves him reeling. As the truth sinks in, Thomas’s demeanor softens, revealing the first cracks in the armor of a man who has always prided himself on control.
