As he began, Nicholas's gaze turned intense, his eyes narrowing into fiery slits. "If I were you," he said, his voice dropping to a solemn level, "I'd think twice about revealing your thoughts and controlling your words."
I raised my eyebrows in confusion, asking, "Pardon me?" amusement evident in my tone. "Are you trying to threaten me?" I probed.
Nicholas chuckled, his laughter echoing throughout the room. "Label it however you wish – I couldn't care less. Let me make this clear, young lady," he paused, his expression transforming into a surge of anger. "You're under my control now. You're at my mercy, and believe me, I can do whatever I desire with you, if you haven't grasped that already."
"You're defenseless against me," he continued, leaving me staring in shock as goosebumps formed on my arm. "Even your boss, Megan, won't be able to save you from my grasp."
