1- A World Divided

I could feel their eyes on me, even as I crossed the courtyard, pretending I didn’t notice the whispers. It wasn’t anything new. I was used to it—the stares, the occasional shove, the hushed comments that followed me like a shadow. Being an outsider in my own home had become second nature, but it still stung, no matter how much I tried to ignore it.“Hey, freak,” a voice called from behind, sharp and familiar. I froze, gripping my books a little tighter, but didn’t turn around. Not today. Not again.“You deaf, Carter?” That voice. Brady Thompson. Of course it was him. I forced myself to keep walking, each step heavier than the last.“Hey!” His hand clamped onto my shoulder, and I winced, my heart hammering against my ribs. He spun me around, the hard edge of his smirk slicing through the crowd that had started to gather.“Didn’t you hear me, or are you too stupid to know when someone’s talking to you?”I lifted my chin, meeting his gaze, even though my knees felt like they’d buckle an

2- The Price of Silence

The car’s silence was suffocating, broken only by the faint hum of the engine as we sped down the road. My heart pounded so loudly in my chest that I was sure they could hear it. I had never been so aware of my own breathing—shallow, uneven, as I tried to keep it under control. But every time I glanced at *him*, at Dante Ricci, my pulse spiked again.I wasn’t sure if it was fear or the cold, disinterested way he looked at me, like I wasn’t even worth the air I was breathing. His presence was suffocating, like a predator calmly watching its prey, waiting for the right moment to strike. My mind raced for answers, anything that could get me out of this situation. But I had nothing. No plan, no escape. Just the terror that was freezing my limbs in place.“Where are you taking me?” My voice barely came out, trembling and fragile.Dante’s eyes flickered toward me for a brief second before shifting back to the window. His jaw clenched, but he said nothing.“I—I didn’t see anything,” I presse

3- The Price of Silence

“I—” I swallowed hard, my voice barely more than a whisper. “I don’t know how to be strong in your world. But I can learn.”Dante stared at me, his expression unreadable. For a moment, there was nothing but silence between us, heavy and suffocating. Then, slowly, a smirk tugged at the corner of his lips.“We’ll see.”The smirk that curled on Dante’s lips made my stomach twist. It wasn’t the kind of smile that promised safety or reassurance. It was a challenge. A cold, merciless dare that sent shivers down my spine. Every part of me screamed to run, to escape, but there was nowhere to go. I was trapped in this dark, unfamiliar world, and now my life hung on his judgment.“We’ll see?” I repeated, my voice trembling. “What does that mean?”“It means,” Dante said, his tone casual, almost bored, “that I’m giving you a chance. You’re weak now, but you want to prove me wrong? Then do it. Show me you have some worth.”I swallowed hard. “How?”He stepped closer, his tall frame casting a shadow

4- A Prison of Gold

I stood frozen in the doorway of the grand entrance hall, staring at the opulence that surrounded me. The floors gleamed, polished to perfection, and the high ceilings arched above like the inside of a cathedral. Everything was immaculate, from the sweeping staircase to the ornate chandelier hanging overhead. It was beautiful, yes, but there was something unnerving about it—like a gilded cage, more prison than palace.The driver nudged me forward. “Move.”My legs, stiff and unwilling, finally obeyed, and I stepped inside. The cold marble beneath my feet sent a shiver up my spine. The grandeur of the place only amplified how out of place I felt. Everything was too clean, too pristine, like it hadn’t been touched in years. My fingers grazed the edge of the bannister as I walked, but I quickly pulled my hand back. I didn’t belong here. The driver walked ahead of me, his steps steady, a clear contrast to the hesitant shuffle of my own. I followed him down a hallway, long and lined with c
