All five of them smirked at Cyra, their eyes alight with amusement as they watched beads of sweat trickle down her forehead, forming a trail along her neck.
Cyra's heart raced as she felt their stares bore into her, each glance carrying an unspoken threat. It was as if they were predators, toying with their prey, reveling in her discomfort like a twisted game.
With a chilling whisper, liam declared, "She is your toy Gabriel , so the choice is yours."
The words hung heavy in the air, sending a shiver down her spine. Cyra's heart pounded against her chest as she struggled to keep her composure, her eyes betraying the fear swirling within her.
A single tear threatened to escape, mirroring the torment of her captive soul.As the tension in the room thickened, Cyra's senses heightened. Every creak of the floorboards, every rustle of fabric, sent shivers down her spine.
She knew she was outnumbered, trapped in a den of maniacs who derived pleasure from her fear.
With each passing moment, the air grew heavier, suffused with a palpable sense of danger. Cyra's instincts screamed at her to flee, but she remained rooted to the spot, paralyzed by the menacing atmosphere.
In that moment, she realized she was not just facing five individuals, but a collective force of darkness. And as their smirks deepened and their gazes turned predatory, Cyra knew she was in for a nightmarish ordeal unlike any other.
Each gaze felt like a dagger aimed at her soul, mocking her every move with cruel superiority.
With every passing moment, the air grew heavier, suffocating her with a sense of impending dread. She knew she had to find a way out, but the room seemed to constrict around her, imprisoning her within its walls. As fear coiled around her like a serpent, Cyra's heart raced with adrenaline, her mind racing for an escape plan before it was too late.
