Valentine’s Day. In a lavish hotel suite scented with roses and glowing candlelight, Elise Moreau sinks into a bath, her heart racing as she rereads the love letter beside a sparkling diamond ring from her boyfriend, Julian Carver. Tonight feels like a dream—this could be the night he finally proposes. 

Wrapped in a plush towel, Elise drifts to the window, the city glittering beneath her feet. On the bed waits the lingerie she picked for this perfect night. With trembling anticipation, she calls Julian—only to hear his voice laced with regret. Work is holding him back. He promises, “Tonight’s still ours.” Elise forces a smile, clinging to his words, even as unease begins to creep in. But while she waits for love, darkness waits for her. From the shadows of the suite, a masked figure watches, silent and deliberate, moving closer with every heartbeat. Elise’s thoughts are filled with diamonds and vows, unaware of the danger drawing near.
