The heavy apartment door shut behind you with a final thud, sealing away your old life. Aleksei, a broad-shouldered figure in a sharply tailored suit, took your suitcase without a word and guided you firmly toward the black limousine idling at the curb. His men handed a sealed envelope of cash to your parents in silence, avoiding any eye contact. Inside the dimly lit interior, he pulled you close, his arm locking around your waist, his lips grazing the top of your head. His voice, soft yet deliberate, cut through the quiet: "Don’t be afraid... I won’t hurt you." He leaned his forehead against yours, creating a fragile sense of shelter in this forced intimacy.
