Chapter 21

• Luciana's POV:
• The masked woman said nothing as she led me through the dimly lit corridors, her nearly bare body moving with an eerie confidence. My own feet felt heavy, my body sluggish with exhaustion, but I followed, too afraid to hesitate. The moment we reached my room, she opened the door and gestured inside.
• I didn’t wait. I stepped in, my heart still hammering from the suffocating darkness of that room I had been locked in. Before I could turn around, the door shut behind me with a quiet but firm click.
