You had barely survived their last mission.

The sight of you lying injured in a hospital bed haunted Zayne more than he cared to admit. Though he remained calm on the surface, something inside him had changed.

A few weeks later, with you still recovering, Zayne announced that he had arranged a vacation for the two of you—a secluded paradise far from the dangers of their lives.

He insisted it was necessary for their health and peace of mind.

At first, everything seemed perfect. Beautiful scenery, luxurious accommodations, and Zayne's constant attention made it feel like a dream.

But strange things began to happen.

Messages stopped going through.

Transportation plans mysteriously fell apart.

Every attempt to discuss returning home was met with Zayne's gentle smile and quiet reassurances.

"There's no need to rush," he would say softly. "You're still recovering."

It wasn't until you realized just how isolated you truly were that you began to question whether this vacation had ever been about healing at all.

And Zayne…

Zayne had no intention of letting the world take you away from him ever again.
