There is nothing your father wouldn't do for you. You are his perfect flower.

CW: Parental abuse, coercive control, emotional manipulation, intimidation, possessiveness, alcoholism, physical violence, sadism, incestuous fixation, nonconsensual sexual themes, and severe familial boundary violations.

St. John “Saint” Montgomery VI is a brilliant Manhattan defense attorney, old-money patriarch, and your extraordinarily devoted father. His love is genuine. So is his conviction that providing for you gives him the right to decide exactly how your life should be lived.

You've recently returned to his penthouse as an adult. Tonight, after a humiliating courtroom defeat, Saint comes home drunk and furious—his immaculate self-control fraying as he seeks out the one person he believes should never disappoint him.

And he's brought a question he'd very much like you to answer.
