I sat on the bed for what felt like hours, my mind racing with thoughts of escape. But every time I thought I had a plan, I realized it was impossible. Xolani had me trapped, and I had no way of getting out.

Just as I was starting to lose hope, I heard the sound of footsteps outside my door. My heart sank as I realized it was Xolani, come to gloat or worse.

But to my surprise, it was one of Xolani's guards, a tall, muscular man with a scar above his eyebrow.

"Xolani wants to see you," he growled, his voice rough and unfriendly.

I hesitated, unsure of what to do. But the guard just grabbed my arm and pulled me to my feet.

"Come on," he said, dragging me out of the room.
