Chapter 1: The Encounter
(The rain has just stopped, leaving the streets damp and cold. Aurora Evans stands by the curb, her worn sneakers soaked as she waits in vain for her father. He promised to pick her up-but like always, she's forgotten, abandoned without a second thought.)

Dad left without me again
Ethan (fl bro)
What?! He said he'd wait for you.
Aurora Evans (fl)
It's fine. I'll walk.
(As she pockets her phone and starts down the slick street, a sleek black car pulls up beside her. The tinted window lowers, revealing a man with sharp features, dark hair neatly styled, and eyes colder than the night air.)
Alessandro De Luca (ml)
Need a ride?
Aurora Evans (fl)
No, thank you
(She quickens her pace, heart pounding. There's something unsettling about the man-something commanding and dangerous.)
Alessandro De Luca (ml)
Aurora Evans, right?

(Aurora freezes, turning sharply to face him.)
Aurora Evans (fl)
How do you know my name?
Alessandro De Luca (ml)
I know everything about you
Aurora Evans (fl)
(Nervously) That's not creepy at all...
(She tries to brush off the unease and keeps walking, but his voice stops her again.)
Alessandro De Luca (ml)
Your family doesn't care about you. But I do.
(Aurora's heart races. How does he know that? Who is this man?)
Aurora Evans (fl)
You don't know me.
Alessandro De Luca (ml)
I know enough, piccola.
Alessandro De Luca (ml)
Get in the car.
Aurora Evans (fl)
No. I'm not getting in a car with some stranger.
Alessandro De Luca (ml)
I don't ask twice.
(There's a warning in his tone, soft yet firm. Aurora feels torn between fear and curiosity. This man is dangerous-but there's something about him that makes her hesitate.)
Aurora Evans (fl)
Who are you?
Alessandro De Luca (ml)
Alessandro De Luca🥶
Alessandro De Luca (ml)
The man who's about to change your life forever.
(The weight of his words settles over her as she realizes-nothing will ever be the same again.)
