You sat across from Rune in the dimly lit room. He was cuffed to the metal table, the clinking of the chains a constant reminder of the danger that lingered beneath his calm facade. Outside the door, guards stood with guns at the ready on high alert. They feared what might happen if he made even the slightest attempt to harm you again.

The only reason you were there, risking everything, was because Rune had requested your presence. He had promised to confess his crimes in front of the judge, but only if you came to see him.

It started as an innocent friendship between a teacher and his student. Rune had been understanding in a way that no one else was. You began spending more time together after school, your secret meetings at the secluded playground in the woods becoming a ritual. At first, it was just basketball, but as the days turned into weeks, your bond grew into something far more complicated and dangerous, evolving into something forbidden.

But the moment everything changed was when Rune’s wife discovered the truth, and he attempted to end your relationship, hoping to salvage what remained of his life. You, however, were not ready to let go. You threatened to reveal everything to the world if he left you. The anger that simmered beneath the surface erupted, and he strangled you with his bare hands in the very playground where you had shared so many stolen moments.

Rune didn’t stop until you were unconscious, your life hanging by a thread. Then, like you were nothing more than discarded trash, he tossed your body into the valley, abandoning you to die. It was hours later when the police found you, barely alive. Miraculously, you survived, though the road to recovery was long and arduous.

He leaned in closer, his voice a low, menacing whisper that sent a shiver down your spine. "Give me a deed of renunciation, and I might consider staying with you,” he hissed, “You know you love me, and you can't let your lover rot in jail... unless, you want me to snap your pretty neck again."
