As Marco's men dragged Elise away, her heart pounded with terror. She struggled against their grip, her mind racing with thoughts of Justin and the danger he was about to face.
But as Marco approached her, a sinister smile playing on his lips, Elise knew that she was completely at his mercy.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Marco said, his voice dripping with malice as he circled around her like a predator stalking its prey.
Elise's heart raced with fear as Marco's eyes roamed over her, his gaze filled with a hunger that made her skin crawl.
"You're quite the pretty little thing, aren't you?" Marco said, his voice laced with amusement. "It would be a shame to let anything happen to you."
Elise's blood ran cold at Marco's words, a sense of dread settling over her like a suffocating blanket. She knew that whatever deal he had in mind would come at a steep price, one she wasn't sure she was willing to pay.
"What... what do you want from me?" she asked, her voice trembling with fear.
Marco's smile widened, his eyes gleaming with malice. "Just a little favor, my dear," he said, his tone mocking. "You see, your boyfriend has gotten himself into a bit of trouble. And I need someone to keep an eye on him while he takes care of business for me."
Elise's heart clenched with fear as she realized what Marco was asking of her. She knew that she had no choice but to comply, that refusing would only lead to more pain and suffering for herself and Justin.
"And if I refuse?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
Marco's smile faded, replaced by a look of cold determination. "Then I'm afraid your boyfriend will suffer the consequences," he said, his voice filled with malice.
Elise's heart sank as she realized that Marco held all the power in this situation. She knew that she had to do whatever it took to protect Justin, even if it meant sacrificing her own freedom.
With a heavy heart, she nodded, her gaze never leaving Marco's cold, calculating eyes. "I'll do it," she said, her voice filled with resignation.
Marco's smile returned, his eyes gleaming with triumph. "Good girl," he said, his tone dripping with satisfaction. "Now, let's get down to business."
As Marco outlined the details of her new role as his private assistant and maid, Elise's mind raced with thoughts of Justin and the danger he was about to face.
But as she followed Marco into the darkness, her heart heavy with fear and regret, Elise couldn't help but wonder if there was any way out of the nightmare that had become her life.
Meanwhile, Justin listened helplessly from a nearby corridor, his heart breaking as he heard Marco's deal with Elise. He knew that there was nothing he could do to stop it, that Marco held all the power in this situation.
With a sense of desperation gnawing at his soul, Justin vowed to do whatever it took to protect Elise, even if it meant risking his own life in the process.
And as he braced himself for the challenges that lay ahead, Justin knew that the only way forward was through. For in the darkness of that night, amidst the shadows of fear and uncertainty, he had found something worth fighting for—a love worth sacrificing everything for.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5HuCTxKdS

Marco briefed Justin on his task before watching him go. He turned to Elise and took her arm, starting to walk her down the hall.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRC0UrTUS0
Elise's heart raced as Marco led her deeper into the dimly lit building, his grip firm and unyielding on her arm. She could feel his eyes boring into her, his gaze filled with a hunger that made her skin crawl.
"So, my dear, let's talk about your new role," Marco said, his voice smooth but tinged with a dangerous edge.
Elise's stomach churned with unease as Marco outlined his expectations. He wanted her to be nothing more than his little plaything, his personal maid and entertainer while Justin took care of business for him.
Her heart clenched with fear and disgust at the thought of what Marco was asking of her. She knew that she couldn't go against Justin, couldn't betray the man she loved for the sake of her own safety.
"I can't do this," she said, her voice trembling with defiance. "I won't betray Justin for your twisted desires."
Marco's smile faded, replaced by a look of cold fury. "You think you have a choice in this, darling?" he said, his tone dripping with malice. "You're nothing but a pawn in my game, a toy for me to play with as I see fit."
Elise's heart pounded in her chest as Marco's words washed over her like a wave of icy dread. She knew that she was completely at his mercy, that refusing to comply would only lead to more pain and suffering for herself and Justin.
But she couldn't bring herself to give in, couldn't let Marco strip away her dignity and self-respect without a fight.
Before she could react, Marco's hand shot out, his fingers wrapping around her throat with a vice-like grip. Elise gasped for breath, her eyes wide with terror as she struggled against his hold.
"You will do as I say, or you will suffer the consequences," Marco growled, his voice filled with menace.
Tears welled up in Elise's eyes as she felt the crushing weight of Marco's power bearing down on her. She knew that she had no choice but to comply, that refusing would only lead to more pain and suffering for herself and Justin.
With a heavy heart, she nodded, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'll do it," she said, her voice filled with resignation.
Marco's grip on her throat loosened slightly, his eyes gleaming with triumph. "Good girl," he said, his tone dripping with satisfaction. "Now, let's get started."
As Marco led her deeper into the darkness, Elise's mind raced with thoughts of Justin and the danger he was about to face. She knew that she had to do whatever it took to protect him, even if it meant sacrificing her own dignity and self-respect in the process.
But deep down, she couldn't shake the feeling of dread that settled over her like a shroud. For in the darkness of that night, amidst the shadows of fear and uncertainty, Elise knew that she was about to face the greatest challenge of her life—a challenge that would test her strength, her courage, and her love for Justin like never before.
