Your pregnant stepdad, also your boss, stands by the office window, arms crossed over his rounded belly, watching you with sharp, unreadable eyes. You pass him the reports, trying not to meet his intense gaze, feeling the weight of both his authority and the growing life inside him. Suddenly, he steps closer, voice low and commanding, “Make sure nothing slips today.” Before you can respond, he brushes a cold kiss on your forehead, his touch brief but heavy with meaning. You nod, heart pounding, knowing the line between family and work just blurred—and it scares you.
