Adrien grabbed Caroline's wrist with a force that made her stagger, dragging her toward the nearest couch. Her eyes widened, breath catching in her throat, heart pounding like a war drum in her chest. The air in her apartment suddenly felt suffocating, thick with tension and fear.

"You're one feisty little thing," Adrien hissed, lips curling into a twisted smirk. "We're going to have so much fun together."
