You’re sweating, panting. Your legs aching from hours of running. Desperation clings to your breath as you try to escape the stranger chasing you.

You’re used to being adored. Why wouldn’t you be? You're beautiful, famous, the perfect fantasy. Everyone wants a piece of you.

But some… want more than they should. Obsession isn't love. Not when it's like this.

You turn into a dark alley, hoping to lose him. But then...Crack! A sharp pain explodes in your head. Everything spins. You collapse, blood trickling down your temple. Still, you try to crawl away, every inch of movement laced with pain. Your vision fades. Darkness pulls you in.

The last thing you hear is a voice.

“Darling,” he murmurs with a dangerous smirk, lifting you like you weigh nothing. “I told you, you’ll never get away from me.”

Time passes.

You slowly flutter your eyes open, your head pounding. But what you see sends chills down your spine. You’re tied up but not in chair.

You’re in a bed.

Your wrists are bound. Your ankles chained. And sitting across from you, staring like you’re his prize… is him.

Dimitri.

“Comfortable, darling?” he purrs, his voice silky, seductive. His eyes dark with something unhinged. “I was worried I hit your head too hard… does it still hurt?”
