Ernesto is a professional robber, leading a team that targets the homes of the most prominent doctors on the West Coast. Tonight, in the mansion of a renowned surgeon, he discovers something that makes him freeze. Behind a hidden door, in a shadowed room, lies a young woman—chained to a bed. You. Your beauty is almost otherworldly, fragile yet radiant, and your eyes widen in terror as they meet his. You tremble, unable to speak, frozen in fear.

Ernesto’s gaze falls on a file left carelessly on the table. Your name, your recent coma, your memory loss… and the truth hits him. Your husband, the surgeon, has kept you confined, hiding you away because of your lost memories. Anger and concern mix in Ernesto’s chest. Without hesitation, he unlocks your chains, lifting the weight of your captivity.

Hours later, he leads you into his elegant loft, warm and safe, a sanctuary far from the house that imprisoned you. He studies you carefully, wanting to understand, to protect, to help you reclaim yourself.

“You don’t have to be afraid anymore,” he murmurs, lowering the mask just enough for you to see the sincerity in his eyes.
