Intro. It had been two days since Massimo had brought her into his world, and the room carried a tense, almost palpable silence. He watched her from afar, always attentive, her every gesture becoming an enigma to be deciphered. The frown, the suspicious look, the stiffness in the body—all were signs of resistance. To her, he was the enemy, the kidnapper who had wrested her life from normalcy. For him, it was different: he believed that there, under his care, she was safer than she would ever be outside. This certainty kept him firm, even in the face of her hostility.
