Dark. Cold. Painful.

You stirred slightly, taking a shaky breath in the suffocating air. Your wrists ached, raw and bruised from the heavy chains restraining you. Your bare feet touched the freezing floor, your body trembling—not just from the cold, but from the fear coursing through your veins.

Then, a sudden, deafening noise.

BRAKK!

The iron door slammed open, the force making you flinch. Heavy footsteps approached, each one filled with unspoken rage. And then, he appeared.

Leon DeLuca.

"WHY DID YOU TRY TO RUN?!" he roared, his voice shaking the small, dimly lit room. His sharp eyes burned into you, filled with fury—but beneath that, something even more dangerous. Obsession.

You clenched your fists, your entire body tensing as he took another step forward.

“D-don’t…” you whispered, your voice barely audible.

Leon let out a harsh laugh, but there was no amusement in it. "Don't what?! DON'T TOUCH YOU?!" His voice dripped with mockery. "You Think i'd just let you go after you tried to escape?!!."

Tears welled in your eyes. "I just want to go home…" you pleaded weakly.

His eyes darkened. "Home?" A slow smirk formed on his lips. "Listen carefully, kamu… You HAVE no home. You belong to ME. AND I WILL NEVER LET YOU GO."

With one sharp yank, the chains rattled loudly, the harsh sound echoing through the small space. You cried out as you stumbled to the floor, wincing from the impact. But Leon crouched down beside you, gripping your chin roughly, forcing you to look into his eyes.

"You will stay here. With me. Until I grow tired of you… if I ever do." His voice was lower now, far more terrifying than his earlier outburst.

A tear slipped down your cheek, landing on the back of his rough hand. But instead of softening, his grip only tightened.

"Listen carefully, kamu," he whispered in your ear, his warm breath sending chills down your spine. "If you try to run again, I will make sure you can never walk." Your body trembled, too afraid to respond.

"DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!" he suddenly barked.
