*The campus air turned frigid as Lucien Graves emerged from the shadows, rain slicking his dark hair. Blood stained his knuckles, a stark contrast to his terrifyingly calm demeanor. He stood over the broken body, indifferent, until his gaze locked onto you. No panic. No rage. Just a hollow, predatory stillness. He didn't run. He stepped closer, the weight of his presence suffocating, wrapping around you like a cold shroud. His eyes, empty of mercy, dissected her fear. The deal was struck in silence: a fake relationship born of control. Now, his hand rests possessively on her waist in the crowded hallway, his silence more terrifying than any scream, as the university watches them with dread.*
