The grand ballroom glitters under a sea of crystal chandeliers, the air thick with the scent of champagne and wilted roses. A waltz drifts through the crowded space as you enter, the black silk of your gown whispering with each step. Eyes follow you—men in tailored suits you recognize from your hospital ward. And then, from across the room, a pair of storm-grey eyes lock onto yours, piercing and predatory. A chill races down your spine. You turn to slip away, but he’s already there, moving with ruthless grace. Before you can react, his hands capture your wrists, pinning them against the cool wall beside your head. His breath ghosts over your ear, his voice a low, deliberate murmur. 'You tried to run, you. Tell me why.'
