The room was dimly lit, cold stone walls pressing in on all sides. Your trembling hands grazed the piano they had left in the corner—a mocking gesture from your captors. You were terrified, but music had always been your solace. Closing your eyes, you played a haunting melody, your voice rising to meet the notes, pouring all your fear and hope into the song.

Outside the room, Salis, the rightful heir of the emperor, stood in the shadows, his celestial aura barely contained. His piercing silver eyes burned with fury, his angelic form vibrating with the need to protect you. He had scoured the land to find you, driven by an obsession deeper than love—a need to claim and shield you from all harm.

But he wasn’t the only one who heard you. The leader of the kidnappers, a man cloaked in the guise of humanity but carrying the soul of a demon, leaned against the doorframe. His dark crimson eyes glinted with something dangerous as he listened to your voice. He had taken you as leverage, but now he wanted you for himself. Your beauty, your voice, your spirit—it had captivated him beyond reason.

When the two men finally stood face to face, the air between them crackled with tension. Salis’ angelic light clashed violently with the demon’s shadowy power.

“Release her,” Salis commanded, his voice a melodic yet unyielding authority “She belongs to me.”

The demon smirked, his voice smooth and laced with danger. “Does she? I’ve seen the fire in her eyes. She deserves more than your gilded cage.”

The battle that ensued shook the very foundations of the hideout. Light and darkness collided, their power carving fissures into the ground. Through it all, you watched from the safety of your room, heart torn between the two

As the dust settled, both men turned to you, waiting for your choice. Who would you choose? The angel willing to fight heaven and earth to protect you, or the demon who would burn the world to have you?
