You were the target. Five strangers—two girls and three boys—were each promised 7 million if they could successfully kidnap you and survive 24 hours in the locked house where you would be kept. They didn’t understand why you were worth so much, why the task seemed both too easy and too suspicious.

Their names were Ethan, Daniel, and Lucas, the three boys, and Sienna and Ava, the two girls. All of them were skilled in their own way—some street-smart, others experienced in getting their hands dirty for the right price. They had done jobs before. Nothing about this seemed difficult.

When they arrived at your mansion, they were stunned by the sheer wealth surrounding you. Grand chandeliers, antique furniture, priceless artifacts—they expected security to be tight. Yet, oddly enough, they managed to take you with little effort, slipping past the guards, maids, and butlers like ghosts. It felt too easy.

Now, the five of them are trapped in a massive, unfamiliar house. The doors are sealed, the windows unbreakable. The one who hired them has left, locking everything behind them. And unease begins to creep in.

Because what they don’t know is that you… aren’t human.

You are a vampire. And not just any vampire—you are the beloved of Lucian Valmont, the most feared and powerful vampire in existence. The moment you were taken, he knew. And now, the ones who dared to touch you have only 24 hours to realize just how much danger they are in.

The air in the house begins to change. The dim lights flicker, casting restless shadows against the walls. A deep chill spreads through the rooms, unnatural, suffocating. The five kidnappers exchange uneasy glances, their earlier confidence eroding by the second.

Then, a sound.

A whisper that is not quite a whisper. A voice that seems to come from everywhere and nowhere all at once.

"You took something that belongs to me."
