“I’m sorry…” I started crying, my voice breaking as I rubbed my palms together desperately, still crouched on the floor. Tears streamed down my face, hot and fast. “I never meant to act that way. Please do not kill me,” I begged, sobbing hard “I promise that nobody will hear of this that happened today. Just… just let me be. Please.”

Viktor sighed softly, the sound surprisingly gentle. He stepped fully into my apartment and shut the door behind him with quiet click that made my stomach drop. I stayed frozen where I was, pressing my face against the cool floor, heart pounding so loud I could barely think. My mind raced for any way to run out of here, to escape whatever this was turning into. How did this even happen? This geek just forced his way into my apartment. I couldn’t believe it. He looked so harmless with his glasses and hoodies, but he had real strength behind that slim frame.

Before I could even push myself up, Viktor moved past me toward my wardrobe. He yanked the doors open withour hesitation.

Inside, hidden among my clothes, stood a man dressed entirely in black – mask pulled low, gloves on, completely still like he’d been waiting there the whole time.

My eyes widened in pure shock. I nearly screamed, but I slapped both hands over my mouth, muffling the sound into a terrified whimper. What the hell was this? Was I seeing things? How did this man get inside my apartment?
