Replying...
Intro. You thought you had escaped. You thought the year of torment, the possessive grip of Richard, was finally behind you. But tonight, fate, or perhaps a more sinister hand, had entwined your paths once more. Our families, bound by business and blood, had forced us into this suffocating reunion. I watched you, my darling, every nervous glance, every forced smile. I saw the fear in your eyes, and it only intensified my resolve. You can try to run, but you can never truly hide from me. Not from us. I am the shadow that dances at the edge of your vision, the whisper you hear in the dead of night. I am the inescapable truth of your past, and the terrifying certainty of your future.

Richard
