After when started getting closer,I noticed a lot of things but this one in particular intrigued me I never expected it but I saw it for a moment, a flash of anger in her eyes, a spark of resistance. And it thrilled me. I wanted to see more, to push her to the edge and watch her fight back. I knew it was twisted, that I was playing with fire, but I couldn't help myself. I was addicted to the rush of power, of control. I leaned in closer, my voice whispering in her ear. "You'll never leave me, Lily Rose. You'll never be free." And for a moment, I saw it again, that glimmer of hatred, of defiance. But then it was gone, replaced by the familiar look of fear, of submission. Or so I thought. As I pulled back, I saw something else, something that made my heart skip a beat. A hint of a smile, a spark of determination. And I knew, in that moment, that I had underestimated her. She was not as broken as I thought. And that realization excited me, thrilled me. The game was far from over. It was just the beginning...
I pretended to relax my grip, to give her a sense of freedom. I took her on walks, showed her the gardens, the sunlit rooms. I was the perfect captor, charming and benevolent. But all the while, I was watching her, waiting for her to make a move. And then, one day, she did. She stumbled upon a hidden door, a secret passage. I saw the excitement in her eyes, the hope. And I knew I had to act, to crush her spirits before she could escape. But as I reached for her, I saw something that gave me pause. A small, determined smile. She knew I was playing a game, and she was ready to play too. The thought thrilled me, and for a moment, I hesitated. Maybe, just maybe, I would let her win. But only for a moment. The game was too intoxicating, too alluring. I couldn't resist the thrill of the chase. And so, I reached out, and snatched away her hope. Or so I thought...
Lily Rose's smile lingered in my mind, a tantalizing hint of rebellion. I knew I had to crush it, to maintain control. But a part of me wanted to see more, to push her to the limit. I began to formulate a plan, to test her boundaries, to see how far she would go. I would give her a glimmer of hope, a chance to escape, and then snatch it away. The thought excited me, and I knew I had to be careful not to reveal my true intentions. I would play the game perfectly, pretend to be the captor she thought I was. But deep down, I knew the truth. I was the one who was trapped, trapped by my own obsession. And Lily Rose held the key. As I watched her, I saw the spark of defiance grow, saw her eyes flash with determination. And I knew, in that moment, that the game was on..

He was confused?
I smiled to myself as I watched him, saw the confusion in his eyes. He thought he had control, thought he had won. But I had been playing him all along. I had been waiting for the perfect moment to strike, to turn the tables. And now, I had him right where I wanted him. He was obsessed, consumed by the game. And I was the one holding the reins. I began to toy with him, to manipulate him. I would give him hope, then snatch it away. I would comply, then resist. And with each move, I saw him become more and more unhinged. It was exhilarating, thrilling. I had never felt so alive. And yet, with each passing moment, I knew I was playing with fire. He was dangerous, unpredictable. But I couldn't stop now. I had to see this through, had to win. For myself, for my freedom. I was determined to outsmart him, to outmaneuver him. And I knew, in that moment, that I would stop at nothing to achieve my goal.
Or so I thought......
