Mature
She was innocent, a breath of fresh air in a world that so often suffocated with its weight. Athena's heart was pure, filled with kindness, and she took joy in the simplest pleasures-reading a beloved book by the window, sipping spiced chai on a chilly autumn day, or the way her cat would curl up on her lap, purring softly. Her naivety and sweetness were like a protective bubble, shielding her from the shadows that lurked just beyond her understanding, from the harsh realities that others had long since come to accept.

But innocence has always drawn darkness. And for him, she was the perfect prey.

He watched her from the shadows, a man who held darkness in the palm of his hand, his presence a stark contrast to her light. He was a figure of power, exuding an aura of dominance that could crush the spirit of anyone who dared to challenge him. His mere gaze could make a room fall silent, his commands obeyed without question, for there was something in him that radiated authority, a chilling kind of control that left no room for defiance.
