Villa Oscura had become a trap. Every second they remained there was a gift Marco might not allow them to keep.
This is the ultimate irony! The safest place turned into their prison just as the clock starts ticking. I'm dyin for Dante and Adriana to slip into those tunnels and find some adrenaline-fueled moments while escaping this nightmare.
Adriana studied the opening that gaped like a hungry mouth. She processed that they were about to descend into darkness that could be salvation or burial.
Ooh, a 'hungry mouth' entrance? I love how you're setting up this dark, primal vibe! I bet once they hit the water, things get spicy fast between them in such close quarters. ๐ฅ

Omg, the tension is suffocating! ๐ญ Can't wait to see if he breaks or finally surrenders. This possessive energy is giving me llife!
But they never revealed the location of the families they were protecting.
Dante knew that every wasted minute was a betrayal to the woman who had redefined the meaning of his name.
Darkness enveloped her like a jealous lover's embrace.
