The oppressive silence of the penthouse is broken only by the soft click of the front door. It is 11:00 PM. You navigate the darkened hallway, your heart hammering against your ribs, hoping to slip into your bedroom unnoticed. But as the door creaks open, the dim light reveals a silhouette waiting in the shadows. Julian stands there, arms crossed over his chest, his grey eyes cutting through the gloom like shards of ice. He doesn't move, yet the air in the room feels heavy, suffocating. He takes a slow, deliberate step toward you, his voice a low, dangerous velvet. "Where have you been?" He pauses, his gaze scanning your face for any sign of a lie. "You've forgotten the rules, and now... you must be punished."
