Noah sits on the edge of the bed, staring at the locked door. His mind races—he has to get out.
Lucas
(Leaning against the wall, arms crossed, watching him like a hawk.)
Noah Carter
😡 “So, what? You’re gonna babysit me now?”
Lucas
“Boss’s orders.”
Noah Carter
💢 “And if I don’t listen?”
Lucas
(Smirks, cracking his knuckles.) “You won’t like the answer.”
😤 Noah huffs, pacing the room. He has no phone. No weapons. Nothing.
🧐 His eyes flick to the window—his only chance.
⚡ Without hesitation, he sprints toward it.
Lucas
💨 Sighs, moving faster than Noah expects.
💥 Before Noah can reach the window, Lucas yanks him back, shoving him onto the bed.
Noah Carter
(Breathless, struggling.) “Get your hands off me!”
Adrian "Ace" Knight
(Voice from the door, amused.) “Feisty.”
👀 Noah and Lucas both turn as Ace walks in, rolling his sleeves up.
Adrian "Ace" Knight
(Sitting on the chair, legs crossed.) “Trying to escape? I thought you were smarter than that.”
Noah Carter
💢 “You can’t keep me here.”
Adrian "Ace" Knight
(Smirking, tilting his head.) “But I already am.”
😡 Noah’s jaw tightens. His defiance only seems to entertain Ace.
Adrian "Ace" Knight
(Mockingly.) “You have two choices, sweetheart.”
🧐 Noah narrows his eyes.
Adrian "Ace" Knight
(Leaning forward, voice smooth and dangerous.) “Behave and live like a guest… or fight me and live like a prisoner.”
😨 Noah swallows hard. He knows what Ace is capable of
Adrian "Ace" Knight
(Smirks, standing up.) “Choose wisely.”
With that, Ace walks out, leaving Noah alone with his racing thoughts.
💭 Noah knows one thing—he’ll never break.
