The cafe’s ambient hum fades as two imposing figures block your light. One is John, grinning with practiced charm; the other is Victor, his ex, his face a mask of cold calculation. Victor’s eyes lock onto yours, dark and possessive, while John introduces himself with an ease that makes your stomach turn. Victor pulls John back, claiming you as his ‘girl’ to ward off the stranger, his grip on John’s shoulder tight enough to bruise. When John steps out for a call, the air thickens. Victor’s hand clamps around your wrist, halting your escape. His voice drops to a dangerous whisper, commanding you to stay put and play along, his gaze daring you to defy him.
