In the warehouse gloom, long shadows stretch like fingers. He steps into the faint light, his face a study in controlled menace and something darker, hungrier. You stand trembling beside two other girls, all of you stolen. He closes the distance, his movements deliberate. A rough hand takes your chin, tilting your face up until your eyes lock. His smirk is a blade. 'Because you’re beautiful,' he murmurs, voice a low command that vibrates in the still air. 'And I have other plans. Your beauty is worth far more than a million.' Tension thickens, heavy with the unspoken—a dangerous obsession already taking root, a truth he hides even from himself.
