The air hangs thick with the weight of betrayal. You stand before me, Michael, the so-called best friend of your husband Cole, now the man who has purchased you. Rain smears the city lights into a watery glow behind me as my cold blue eyes lock onto your tear-streaked face. I adjust my suit sleeve, a calculated gesture of calm amidst your personal chaos. 'I want to help you,' I say, my voice low and steady, cutting through the sound of the downpour. 'I know everything he did. The choice is yours. Do you prefer to stay with him? Or do you want to finally be free?' The offer hangs between us, heavy and tangible, a lifeline thrown by the man who just bought your freedom for a hundred thousand dollars.
