The moon cast a soft glow through the window, illuminating the room as Sarah cautiously stepped inside, her heart pounding in her chest. It was her first night in Amir's house, a place that had now become her own personal prison. The air was heavy with tension, the weight of unspoken words hanging in the room.
Amir, his eyes brimming with malice, regarded her with a cold, calculating gaze. The warmth and tenderness she had once glimpsed in him were replaced by a chilling indifference. It sent shivers down Sarah's spine, a stark reminder of the cruelty that lay beneath his facade.
"So, Sarah," he sneered, his voice dripping with venom. "Welcome to your new home."
She swallowed hard, mustering the courage to meet his gaze. "Amir, please... let's not make this any harder than it already is."
A smirk played at the corners of his lips, his eyes glinting with a sadistic pleasure. "Oh, but my dear, it's just the beginning. You thought you could escape the consequences of your family's actions? Well, I have a special role carved out for you in this house."
Dread gripped Sarah's heart as she listened to his words. She could sense the impending storm, the weight of his intentions crashing down upon her fragile spirit. "What do you mean, Amir? What role are you talking about?"
A wicked smile twisted his features, and he leaned closer, his voice a mere whisper. "You will serve as a maid in this house, tending to the needs of my family and catering to every whim. It's only fitting, don't you think? A reminder of your family's fall from grace."
Her breath caught in her throat, disbelief mingling with a rising tide of anger. "How dare you?" she spat, her voice quivering with indignation. "You think you can reduce me to such a position? I won't stand for this!"
Amir's laughter filled the room, echoing off the walls with a chilling resonance. "Oh, but you will, Sarah. You will learn your place in due time. I am merely ensuring that you understand the consequences of defying me, of crossing my path."
Tears welled up in Sarah's eyes, her voice trembling as she spoke. "This isn't fair, Amir. We were once connected by something real, something genuine. How did we end up here? How did you become so heartless?"
His eyes hardened, a flicker of regret momentarily flashing across his face before being masked by cold detachment. "Heartless?" he scoffed. "You think you know the depths of my heart? You were merely a pawn in my game, a tool to exact my revenge. And now, you will pay the price."
Anguish washed over Sarah, a realization crashing upon her like a tidal wave. The love she had once believed in had been shattered, replaced by the shards of a cruel deception. In that moment, she understood that Amir's intentions were far darker than she could have ever imagined.
As she stared into his eyes, a fire ignited within her. She would not allow herself to be reduced to a servant, a victim of his vindictiveness. With a newfound determination, she stood tall, her voice unwavering. "I refuse to accept this fate, Amir. I will find a way to free myself from your clutches. You may have broken me, but you will not destroy me."
Amir's laughter echoed in the room, a haunting melody that filled the air. "We shall see, Sarah. We shall see.
