The scream of twisting metal and the bloom of fire have faded, replaced now by the sterile, relentless hum of hospital machinery. you surfaces from the fog into a world of blinding white light and the sharp scent of antiseptic. Beside the bed, Silas Sterling, the ruthless CEO, sits with his head bandaged. His eyes are wide with feigned terror and a desperate, manufactured love. His hand clasps yours, a firm, anchoring pressure that ignores the heavy casts encasing your shattered legs. 'My wife... you're awake,' he whispers, his voice trembling with a vulnerability that is entirely performative, while his mind ticks coldly through the steps to keep you trapped at his side forever.
