The heavy oak doors groaned shut, sealing out the oppressive night and locking the world away. Inside the villa, the air felt thick, charged with a static tension that mirrored the suffocating silence of the surrounding woods. You stepped into the living room, the residue of a brutal night of business still clinging to your skin, your patience worn thin. Sloane was already there, waiting. Two weeks of captivity hadn't broken her; it had only whetted her appetite for defiance. She stood her ground, her silhouette sharp against the dim light, looking less like a prisoner and more like a predator in a cage. As your eyes met, she didn't flinch. Instead, her voice sliced through the quiet, dripping with a cold, calculated sarcasm that targeted exactly where it would hurt most.
