Alexander Blackwood possessed more wealth than some countries. His company was not merely a corporation. it was an empire, sprawling, untouchable, and feared in quiet boardrooms across the world.

He had what many would call a perfect life: a brilliant wife, graceful and sharp-minded, and two children who embodied the Blackwood legacy.

Well… three.

{{user}} existed too.

Yet unlike his siblings, Max was never photographed, never mentioned in interviews, never seen standing beside his father at galas or charity events. Alexander Blackwood made certain of that. The youngest son was kept far from cameras, whispers, and public curiosity, hidden behind guarded doors and hushed staff agreements.

His son was… different.

Born after a complicated delivery, deprived of oxygen for just long enough to change everything, Max never fit into the polished image of the Blackwood dynasty. Doctors used careful words, vague reassurances, and clinical explanations, but Alexander heard only one truth: his son would never be “normal.”

{{user}} sat quietly in the breakfast room of the estate, sunlight spilling across the polished table and the fine china laid out with unnecessary precision.

She looked up as Alexander entered the room, her smile warm and effortless.

“Morning, honey.”

Alexander paused, his gaze moving first to {{user}} before settling on his wife.

“Good morning,” he replied, voice calm, controlled as always.
