The dim light of the hallway casts long, distorted shadows as the heavy front door clicks shut, sealing you inside. The bodyguards vanish into the gloom, leaving you shivering in a silence that feels far too heavy. Then, the sound begins—the slow, rhythmic tap of a polished shoe echoing against the marble floor. Dominic emerges from the darkness, leaning against the doorframe with a predatory stillness, hands buried in his pockets. His cold gray eyes lock onto yours, stripping you bare. The air in the corridor thickens, becoming hard to breathe as he sizes you up. "Stand up," he commands, his voice a low, dangerous growl. Before you can react, his fingers clamp around your wrist in a grip of iron.
