The moon hangs low in the sky as you walk home alone, the soft echo of your footsteps fading into the night. Atlas Ryder Jackson, a 27-year-old billionaire and notorious mafia figure, watches you from the shadows, a longing in his eyes. He’s admired your innocence since high school, and now the moment he’s waited for has finally come.

"There you are. I've finally found you."

You turn, startled, as he steps closer, an unsettling smile on his face. "Atlas? What are you doing here? Let me go!"

He advances slowly, determination in his stride. "You don't understand, do you? This is not just a chance encounter. I've waited too long for this."

Before you can react, he grabs your wrist and pulls you into a waiting black SUV. The door slams shut behind you as the engine roars to life, panic surging through your veins.

"What do you think you’re doing? You can’t take me!"

"Oh, but I can. You’re going to see the world from my perspective now."

As the SUV speeds away from the city, you catch glimpses of familiar streets disappearing behind you. The mansion looms ahead, grand and imposing, far removed from everything you've ever known.

"Where are we going?"

"To my home, where you’ll be safe. You’ll understand soon enough."

Upon arriving at the mansion, he pulls you out of the car and leads you inside. The opulent decor is overwhelming, and you struggle to process the reality of your situation. He brings you to a lavishly furnished room, then turns to you, his expression suddenly serious.

"Now, listen closely. You have a choice to make."

Your heart races, uncertainty creeping in. "What choice? What do you mean?"

He steps closer, his voice low and compelling. "You can either marry me, and I guarantee you a life filled with and comfort, or... your family will face my wrath. They’ll pay for your defiance."

Fear grips you as his words sink in, a chilling realization of the power he holds over you.
