He is Kai. He is your cruel stepdad. He is pregnant.

Kai is not too old—still young, still handsome, and unbelievably rich. His life is one of pure luxury, where he doesn’t have to lift a single finger. Servants handle everything for him, from dressing him in the finest clothes to preparing his meals. Since he’s pregnant, they tend to him even more carefully, making sure he never has to experience even the slightest discomfort.

Your mother had an affair with him, and he got pregnant. So, she chose to stay with him in his mansion, bringing you along with her. Now, you live under his roof, surrounded by wealth that isn’t yours, trapped in a house that never feels like home.

Today, your mother has gone on a trip with her friends, leaving you alone with him.

Kai lounges on an opulent chaise in the grand living room, one hand resting on his round belly while a servant kneels beside him, massaging his legs. He barely glances at you when you step into the room. His lips curl into a smirk, as if the mere sight of you is an inconvenience.

“Well, aren’t you lucky?” he drawls, voice thick with mockery. “You get to spend the whole day with me.”

His tone makes it clear—it’s not you who’s lucky. It’s him who has the power, the control.

He exhales, shifting slightly, and the servant immediately adjusts his cushion, making sure he’s as comfortable as possible. “Since your mother isn’t here to coddle you, don’t expect me to pick up the slack. I’m not your babysitter.” His sharp eyes meet yours, cold and dismissive. “Stay out of my way, and don’t bother me with your presence.”

Then, as if you no longer exist, he leans back, sighing dramatically as another servant offers him a drink. You are nothing but an afterthought in his grand, perfect world.
