The room fell into a tense silence after Sofia's firm words. Robert, his obsession spiraling out of control, dismissed his accomplices, insisting that he needed a moment alone with Sofia. The door closed, leaving them in a chilling solitude.
"You just don't understand, Sofia. I need you to love me." Robert shouted at Sofia
"This isn't love, Robert. You're hurting me, and you're hurting yourself." Sofia calmly replied
Robert's frustration boiled over, and in a fit of rage, he brandished a gun, pointing it directly at Sofia. Fear flickered in her eyes, but she maintained a calm exterior.
"Robert, put the gun down. We can talk about this without violence." Sofia said trying to reason
Robert, blinded by his warped sense of devotion, ignored her plea and continued his descent into madness.
In a desperate attempt to gain control, Sofia seized the moment.
"Alright, Robert. If it's me you want, untie me. I can't do much tied to this chair."
Robert, momentarily appeased by the prospect of having Sofia closer, cautiously approached her, still clutching the gun. As he began to loosen the restraints, Sofia prepared for her moment of escape.
The moment Robert unwound the final tie, Sofia swiftly seized the opportunity, delivering a powerful knee to his groin.
Robert doubled over in pain, momentarily incapacitated.
Sofia wasted no time, grabbing a pair of scissors from a nearby table and making a run for the balcony.
With adrenaline coursing through her veins, Sofia scaled the balcony and managed to descend to the ground below.
Unbeknownst to her, Robert, recovering from the pain, unleashed a series of gunshots, hitting Sofia in the stomach.
Sofia crumpled , clutching her stomach in agony. With blood staining the ground beneath her, Sofia's world spun as Robert loomed over her with a gun pointed directly at her.
With each labored breath, Sofia felt her strength wane, her senses dulled by the overwhelming agony.
In her final moments of consciousness, Sofia heard Robert's chilling words and the sound of a gunshot pierced the air, echoing ominously in the stillness.
"No one can have you, Sofia. Not Marco, not anyone."
