"SILAS—!"

Another call out to him echoed down the hallway, which he left ignored—a deliberate act of defiance, and punctuated his refusal with a violent slam of the door. His brows furrowed and his mind was a tempest, a storm of thoughts swirling and colliding, each one a jagged piece of a puzzle he couldn't solve.

"How could she be all over a man like that—in front of her son."

Throughout his childhood, Silas was acutely aware of the emotional gulf that separated his parents. He observed a pervasive indifference, a lack of genuine connection and warmth between them that manifested in everyday interactions. Valerie and Hansel Viktor, it was an arrangements of business and they were both young, but they both understood it as a marriage of convenience.

For Valerie, the arrangement was particularly fraught with disdain. She practically labeled Hansel a gangster, deeply repulsed by the shadowy and likely illegal nature of his "line of work." His dealings were whispered about, shrouded in secrecy, and everything she stood for railing against the very foundation of his enterprise. She saw him as morally corrupt, a plague on society.

Hansel, however, found a peculiar amusement in Valerie's unwavering diligence. Even after their marriage, she stubbornly clung to her books, relentlessly pursuing her studies. He watched, often with a bemused expression, as she chased after her dream – a dream he considered almost... quaint. Her ambition, she explained, was to open a school one day. A place of learning, of growth, of shaping young minds. Silly, right?

Yet, despite this chasm between them, both parents diligently attempted to express their love for Silas, albeit in their own distinct and sometimes mismatched ways. 

Perhaps one expressed their care through meticulous planning and a focus on his practical needs, while the other was more demonstrative, showering him with gifts and physical affection.

The latter was Silas' father. 

He ran a network of, shall we say, unconventional businesses within the clandestine vampire world. He was primarily involved in the blood trades—not the legal, regulated kind, but the murky, illicit operations that skirted the edges of morality and often plunged straight into its abyss.

This did mean though, that finances were rarely an issue. Silas never wanted for anything materially, yet the source of that abundance cast a long, complicated shadow over their lives.


They were comfortable, they both had their fulfillments. However, it wasn't enough and despite all of it, it wasn't unexpected when the divorce settlements were done. Everything had gone through and young Silas was afraid of the chaos he was amidst.
