Chapter 27
Alex's POV
As I sat in the darkness, pain coursing through my battered body, a flicker of defiance ignited within me. Despite the hopelessness of my situation, I refused to succumb to despair.
I must find a way to escape, to survive. Even though my trust had been shattered, a small glimmer of hope still lingered. Perhaps there was a chance for redemption, for a different path to unfold.
With every breath, I focused my energy on regaining my strength, on healing my wounds as best as I could. The metallic scent of the silver surrounding me intensified, a constant reminder of the danger that lurked outside my cage.
As my senses sharpened, I became aware of the distant sound of footsteps echoing in the chamber. It was approaching, drawing nearer. My heart raced with a mix of fear and determination.
The door creaked open, revealing Nathan standing there, a sinister smile etched upon his face. He held a whip in his hand, a weapon of torment and control.
