Chapter 1 - 1 The Contract Begins

She signed the contract on a morning that appeared ordinary. The thin document on the table promised a comfortable life, no debts, and all basic needs would be guaranteed. Yet her heart was uneasy. Every time she looked at the document, a strange sensation crept through her stomach.

Her signature glided over the last line. One finger gripped the pen tightly before releasing it. Instantly, her life seemed to shift; the quiet office space suddenly felt full of mystery.

That night, she returned to her room with mixed emotions. The air felt heavier than usual; the desk lamp, normally bright, dimmed on its own. She heard a soft male voice, almost like a whisper:

"Welcome."

She turned around, but no one was there. Shadows moved by the window. Her heart raced, and every hair on her body stood on end.

"Who is he?" she whispered, barely daring to disturb the silence. No answer.

She tried to calm herself, took a deep breath, sat on the chair, and studied the contract again. Everything seemed normal – ordinary promises, simple clauses, and her own signature. Yet her feelings said otherwise. Something felt off. Something inexplicable.

A few hours later, she heard slow footsteps outside the room. His voice whispered again, "Are you ready?"

She froze, unable to respond. Her body tensed, yet her heart raced. The feeling of fear mixed with curiosity, making her entire body come alive.

She decided not to open the door. But her heart rebelled, eager to know who stood before her. She approached the table and noticed a thin sheet of paper that had appeared seemingly out of nowhere. The simple writing sent shivers down her spine: "We will meet."

She sat down, pressing the paper to her chest, wondering who this man was. Was this contract just an empty promise for a comfortable life, or was there a hidden secret behind it? Something about his tone, about the shadow's presence, made her feel both danger and mystery at once.

Her heart had never raced like this before. It wasn't just fear, but an insatiable curiosity burning inside her. Every small sound in the room made her turn, every shadow made her pulse quicken. She realized that night, her life had already changed.

She sat quietly in the chair, staring at the contract that now seemed alive, as if it had a will of its own. The shadow of the man continued to haunt her thoughts; every time she closed her eyes, the silhouette appeared, smiling a smile she could not explain.

The clock ticked slowly, but time felt stretched. She was waiting for something she did not know. Something beyond logic, yet present in every sense she felt. That night, she learned that the contract she signed was not just a document – it was a doorway to a new world, full of mystery and feelings she had never known.

Cliffhanger: The door creaked open slowly, and the shadow appeared, this time more tangible. In the man's hand was something seemingly waiting to be handed to her – something that could change her life forever.
