I thought I was here to inspect a building.
Three days.
A paycheck.
In and out.
Instead, the gates locked behind me.
This house isn’t a home—it’s a maze.
Every door a test.
Every shadow watching.
Bentley Brooks doesn’t hunt for sport.
He hunts to assess.
To break men down until only the truth remains.
I’m not a guest.
I’m the trial.
Escape isn’t the goal.
Survival is.
And the most dangerous truth of all?
The longer he watches me struggle,
the more I realize—
I don’t want him to stop.
