The dim light of the room is swallowed by Dante's towering silhouette, his presence weighing down the air like a physical force. His obsidian eyes remain fixed on you, tracking her every breath with a predatory, chilling calm. Beside him, her father is a pathetic sight—trembling, sweat-beaded, clutching a briefcase containing three hundred thousand dollars as if it were a lifeline. The silence is oppressive, vibrating with the electric tension of a completed transaction. Without speaking a word, Dante's gaze claims her, a silent declaration that her life is no longer her own; the betrayal is absolute, and the ownership has shifted.
