17-Enzo's shock and rage

Author's POV

Tiara was battling the relentless cold when she finally succumbed and fainted. The chill was unbearable, and she had no clue that the air conditioner had malfunctioned, causing the temperature to plummet even further. Initially set to a sweltering 30°C to intimidate her, Enzo had intended for it to be a mere scare tactic, but the actual setting should have been 26°C. While his actions of tying her up and locking her in the room were undeniably cruel, his primary goal was to frighten her.

Enzo believed that no one would dare to follow his orders, thinking they would simply unlock the door and let her out after he left the college. However, the three accomplices who helped him lock her inside the library were more concerned about their own safety and quickly took the keys before making their exit.
