Chapter 4: The Mansion
(Aurora steps out of the car, her heart hammering in her chest. The mansion looms in front of her, massive and imposing, the lights spilling from the windows casting shadows on the stone path leading inside. She looks at Alessandro, who is already walking toward the front door with the confident stride of a man who owns everything-and everyone.)

(To herself) This can't be real. This has to be a nightmare.
(Alessandro glances over his shoulder, catching the look of dread on her face.)
Alessandro De Luca (ml)
Don't worry, bella. You'll get used to it.
Aurora Evans (fl)
(Sarcastically) Oh, I'm sure. What's not to love about being kidnapped and forced to live in a giant, creepy mansion?😑
Alessandro De Luca (ml)
(Smirking) You'll find the charm soon enough 😏
(He opens the front door, gesturing for her to enter. Reluctantly, Aurora steps inside, feeling the weight of the decision she's just made. As she walks into the grand foyer, she's immediately struck by the sheer opulence of the place-marble floors, gold-framed mirrors, and a chandelier so large it could swallow her whole.)
Aurora Evans (fl)
(Under her breath) This place is... ridiculous.
(Alessandro's voice cuts through the silence as he leads her down a hallway.)
Alessandro De Luca (ml)
This is your new home, piccola.
(He stops in front of a door and opens it, revealing a luxurious bedroom with soft lighting, plush furniture, and a king-sized bed that looks as though it belongs in a royal palace.)
Aurora Evans (fl)
(Staring at the room) This is... mine?
Alessandro De Luca (ml)
For as long as you're here.
Aurora Evans (fl)
(Mutters) That's what I'm worried about.
Alessandro De Luca (ml)
(Ignoring her) You'll have everything you need. And don't worry, no one will bother you here.
Aurora Evans (fl)
(Raising an eyebrow) 🤨 No one? What does that mean?
Alessandro De Luca (ml)
(With a serious look) It means you're safe. No one here will hurt you. And no one will be allowed near you without my permission.
(He steps back, giving her space to take in the room. Aurora glances at the massive closet and the view of the garden from the window. She's never had anything like this before. But it's hard to appreciate when the price of getting it is so high.)
Aurora Evans (fl)
(Turning to face him) You can't keep me locked up here forever.
Alessandro De Luca (ml)
(Smirking) 😏 We'll see about that, bella.
(He watches her closely, his gaze never leaving her. There's a strange intensity in his eyes, but something softer lurking beneath it.)
Aurora Evans (fl)
(Crossing her arms) And if I try to leave?
Alessandro De Luca (ml)
(Casually) You can try. But remember-you belong to me now.
(Aurora glares at him, her mind racing. She won't let this man control her. Not forever. But as she looks at him, she wonders-how far will he go to keep her by his side?)

Do you think Alessandro's possessiveness is out of love, or is he just trying to control Aurora?
