My dreams had always been clear: excel academically, attend Yale, land a fulfilling job, find love, and build a happy family. I longed for a peaceful life, filled with joy and stability. But then, a monster burst into my world, shattering my aspirations and claiming me as his own. His presence cast a dark shadow over every aspect of my existence, transforming my once hopeful dreams into a never-ending nightmare. His grip was unyielding, and I found myself trapped in a living hell, where my dreams seemed forever lost. The life I once envisioned was now a distant memory, replaced by a reality that’s both terrifying and suffocating.

Tears streamed down my face as I stared at Adrik, his expression unyielding.

"'Please,' I begged, my voice trembling.

Adrik's gaze never wavered.

"'Kiss me, and I'll feed your mother,' he said, his voice devoid of emotion.
