"You think I'm the villain," he whispers, his voice cold as steel. "But villains are heroes in someone's story. I'm the nightmare no one sees coming."

His words slice through me like ice and my eyes sting, but I don't look away. "I will never belong to you," I hiss even though the tremor in my voice betrays me.

A slow, cruel smile curves his lips, "You promised me your loyalty," he says. "You're mine already-whether you believe it or not."

His fingers shift slightly, brushing over the frantic pulse at my throat. The touch is almost tender, but the power behind it isn't.

"This isn't love, Isabelle," he murmurs, eyes dark and endless. "It's possession. And I am the villain who owns your soul, your body, and every desperate heartbeat in between."

Tears slip silently down my cheeks. I'm unraveling, sinking into the shadows he's wrapped around me.

I'm drowning in him-
In the darkness.
In the lie of love.
In the nightmare that wears his name.
