Father Figure

At first, it all looked like a classic success story – rags to riches, a gentleman's suit instead of street dust, bills paid and a helping hand extended. But behind the marble table and amber whisky, there is always a contract hidden in small print. The teacher nurtures the student, but at some point, the student decides that the crown should be his size.

It smells of leather, cigars and dangerous tenderness. Love is presented as a deal, loyalty as currency, and protecting the family sounds almost like a sentence. Everything warms up evenly until it becomes clear: every empire has only one father, and the throne always remains with the one who holds the keys to the office... and the basement.
