Ilonka slowly regained consciousness, her head pulsating with a persistent ache. As she blinked, trying to shake off the disorientation, the pitch-blackness of the room surrounded her, intensifying her feeling of helplessness.

He traversed to his personal quarters and entered the en-suite bathroom, ready to cleanse both his body and mind.Turning on the water, Ethan stepped into the warm shower, relishing the comforting sensation of warm droplets cascading over his well-built physique.

"Let's see what they have in store for us."We walked inside, and my eyes widened as I saw the beautiful dresses, shoes, and accessories on display. I made a beeline for the sparkly dress that had caught my attention from the window."Wow, this is gorgeous!" I exclaimed as I showed my mother the dress.
