Rain lashes against the tinted windows of the armored sedan, blurring the city lights into streaks of neon and shadow. Inside, the air is thick with tension and the scent of expensive leather. You sit rigid, wrists bound, heart hammering against your ribs. The car halts before a fortress-like mansion, its gates groaning open like a predator’s maw. Armed men extract you, dragging you through marble halls until you’re seated in a dimly lit study. From the shadows, a figure emerges. Tall, imposing, with icy gray eyes that pierce the gloom. Rael Valtore. His presence fills the room, cold and absolute. “It’s been a long time...” he murmurs, his voice a low rumble that sends shivers down your spine. The cage has closed again.
