A sharp rap at the door shattered the stillness like gunfire.
The sound jolted me back to reality with a violent shudder, my pulse roaring in my ears.
Dr. Ethan Lowell froze mid-motion, panic flashing across his face as he jerked away from me.
His reaction said it all. Reality crashed over me like ice water, every nerve screaming danger.
I wanted to shove him off, but my limbs were leaden, useless. The blindfold only amplified the suffocating terror. I sucked in a breath to scream—
Ethan was faster. His palm smothered my mouth, cutting off the sound. His eyes turned razor-sharp, glinting with warning. "You brought someone?" he hissed.
A choked sob escaped me. "M-my boyfriend—he's waiting outside!"
His pupils shrank. For a split second, fear flickered in his expression before he scrambled to undo the ropes around my wrists.
The pressure lifted. I ripped off the blindfold, hands shaking as I yanked my clothes back into place.
Ethan's face had gone eerily calm, all traces of warmth replaced by something predatory. He stepped closer, caging me against the wall.
"One word about this," he murmured, voice dripping venom, "and your life burns to the ground."
The man in front of me was a stranger—his gaze like a blade against my throat. Resistance was unthinkable.
My chest locked tight, breath trapped in my lungs.
Outside, Ryan's knocking turned frantic. "Doctor? Why's the door locked? It's been thirty minutes—!"
Ethan's mouth twisted. He tilted his head toward a tiny camera mounted in the corner. "Speak up," he whispered, "and your private session goes viral."
The threat hit like a punch. My knees nearly gave out. Tears blurred my vision as I nodded wildly.
"I—I won't tell! I swear!"
With a final glare, he released me, straightening his collar with practiced ease—the picture of composure.
"Smart girl," he said coolly. "Now remember: your future depends on silence."
The door swung open. Ryan stood on the threshold, suspicion darkening his face.
