Leo plunges deeper into the twisted web that Adrian has spun around him. Themoment stretches out, tension crackling in the air as Leo stands frozen, the gun heavy in his hand. His thoughts whirl, desperation clawing at his mind as he tries tofind a way out of this horrific dilemma.

Just as Leo steels himself to make a decision, the warehouse doorcreaks open, drawing everyone's attention. A group of masked figures enters, moving with silent precision. Leo's heart races as he recognizes the insignia on their uniforms - an underground syndicate, known for their ruthlessness and connections tothe criminal underworld. Why were they here and watch was their connection with Adrian?

Adrian's expression shifts, a flicker ofannoyance crossing his face before his calm demeanor returns.

The leader of the group, a tall figure with a commanding presence, steps forward. "You've been playing a dangerous game, Adrian Vale," the leader says, his voice cold and authoritative. "It's time to settle some debts."

Adrian smirks, clearly unfazed by the intrusion. "I was expecting you," he replies smoothly. "But you're interrupt ing something important. Leo here was just about to make a choice."

The leader glances at Leo, assessing him with sharp eyes, before turning back to Adrian. "Then we'll take him too if that's the issue--"

"Not happening, He's mine" Adrian said pulling Leo closer to him

"Your games have run their course. We have other plans for Marcus-and for you."

Before Leo can react, the masked figures move in unison, their weapons drawn. They grab Marcus, pulling him from the chair with brutal efficiency. Adrian remains still, his eyes locked on Leo's, as ifdaring him to intervene. But Leois paralyzed, unable to move as the situation spirals out of control.

As Marcus is dragged away, his eyes plead with Leo, but the moment is fleeting. The leader turns to Leo ne last time, aknowing look in his eyes. "You're in over your head, kid. Get outwhile you still can." Then, with acurt nod, he signals his men to leave, taking Marcus with them.

The warehouse falls silent once more, the only sound the distant echo of footsteps fad ing into thenight. Adrian steps closer to Leo, his gaze intense and unreadable."You should have pulled the trigger," he murmurs, his voice laced with a mix of disappointment and something darker. "But no matter. This isn't over, sweetheart. Not by a long shot."

Before Leo can respond, Adrian pulls him into a sudden, forceful kiss, the intens ity of it shocking Leo to his core. When Adrian finally pulls back, his eyes blazing with a mixture of possessiveness and fury. "You're mine now," he whispers, his breath hot against Leo's ear. "And I don't share." He gave Leo one last lingering gaze before walking off into the darkness of the abandoned wearhouse

Leo stares at the spot where Adrian vanished, his heart pounding with fear,confusion, and a sickening thril .He knows he's in too deep, trapped in a world of violence and passion that he can't escape from. But despite the danger, a part of him is already yearning for the next time he'll see Adrian, even as he dreads what it will bring.
