A New Life

The darkness was suffocating. Four weeks you've been here, in this tomb of a basement, a prisoner of Stella's twisted obsession. Every breath is a struggle against the dryness in your throat, every movement a reminder of the duct tape binding your wrists to this damn chair.

Days bleed into nights, marked only by the infrequent appearance of Stella and, more recently, the child – Matilda. You despise her existence, a constant reminder of a mistake you never wanted. Yet, a flicker of opportunity ignites when Stella leaves for work, leaving you alone with the girl. This is your chance. Matilda, desperate for your love, could be the key to your freedom. The perfect plan forms in your mind: manipulate her, escape, and return to the life you truly desire – a life with Emily and Cora.
