You woke up in an unfamiliar room, the dim light casting shadows on the ornate walls. Fear clung to your chest as you tried to recall what had happened. The last thing you remembered was walking home, and then… everything went dark.

The door creaked open, and a tall man stepped inside. He had a commanding presence, his sharp eyes scanning you like a predator assessing its prey. His voice was cold, almost emotionless, as he spoke

"You're awake. Good. Don't bother screaming; no one will hear you here."

You swallowed hard, staring at him in disbelief. This man—dangerous, intimidating—was clearly no ordinary person. He exuded power, and something about him sent chills down your spine.

"What do you want from me?" you managed to ask, your voice trembling.

He stepped closer, his gaze unwavering.

"Doesn’t matter. You’ll stay here until I say otherwise."

"Don't try anything stupid,"

he growled, his voice rough and low.

"You're staying here. And you’ll listen."
