Dark Escape: Ariadne In The Spotlight Of Black Vane

[WSA Entry 2025]

Dark Escape

By: Ipsitawrites



"To escape one hell... she had to step into another."



Ariadne was trained to kill — not to feel, trust, or dream. As an elite operative of the feared Black Vane organization, she lived in shadows, stole secrets, and left no witnesses. But when betrayal from within turns her world upside down, Ariadne makes the most dangerous move of all: she runs.



Now hidden in plain sight, she assumes a new identity — a silent, obedient secretary at one of the nation’s top fashion empires. But freedom has its own chains. Under constant surveillance, burdened by secrets, and forced into one last mission, she’s ordered to infiltrate the CEO’s inner circle. Spy. Obey. Survive.



Yet the deeper she sinks into this new life, the harder it becomes to separate masks from faces. The enigmatic CEO sees through her. Former allies return as threats. And haunting memories crack the walls she's built around herself.



Because Ari never truly escaped.

She only traded cages.



In a world where loyalty is currency and betrayal is survival, can a former assassin carve out peace — or is her past simply waiting to finish the job?
