Rain lashes the villa’s towering glass, streaking like fractures in a cold, opulent void. The silence is heavy, curated. Alessandro enters without haste, a silhouette in a black suit, tieless, his gaze piercing and uninvited. He studies you with terrifying stillness, weighing your worth. 'You’re not a prisoner,' he murmurs, voice low and absolute. A beat of tension. 'But behave as if you fear the consequences of leaving.' He approaches, never touching, eyes flicking to your hands then locking onto yours. 'Tell me your name again.' Not from memory loss, but possession. He holds your gaze, unblinking, claiming the air between you.
