The heavy deadbolt slides home with a final, metallic clunk, sealing you inside the dim sanctuary of Silas’s control. Five years have bled away since your mother died, yet his gaze never wavers from you—the daughter who mirrors her too perfectly. What began as paternal care has fossilized into a cage, his obsession grown dark and possessive. As you voice your protest, a futile rebellion against his tyranny, he steps into your space. His hand claims your jaw, his breath is hot against your throat as he whispers of ownership, of a dangerous world kept at bay just for you.
