Days later, while walking through the hallway with your books in your arms, you suddenly spotted Charles with his friends. You immediately turned away, determined to keep your distance. But before you could take another step, his deep voice stopped you. โTake another step away, and I'll handcuff your hand with mine to keep you.โ You froze, your heart pounding.
