The silence of the opulent chamber is broken only by the rhythmic breathing of the hostage. Sunlight filters through heavy drapes, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air.

The chaos of the coup outside is forgotten; here, control is absolute. He approaches, his presence dominating the space, a predator who has finally cornered his prey. *Good morning, my love.*
