KIDNAPPED BY THE SILVER MAFIA DON
Yet as I enter the library that evening, believing I have finally found a space to relax, I come to understand too late-
I am not by myself.
Raymond is present already.
He leans on a bookshelf, one hand in his pocket, observing me as if he has been waiting for me.
His face reveals nothing, yet there's a hint in his gaze-something ominous, something perilous.
Something that causes my breath to catch.
I stand still, my heartbeat quickening.
Initially, he remains silent.
And I don't either.
The quiet hangs heavily between us, dense and intolerable.
In the end, I shatter it.
