An eighteen-year-old assistant. A wealthy lawyer with a corner office and very particular standards. He hires her, dresses her, trains her, and slowly takes everything she owns - starting with the clothes she wore to the interview.

Chloe is broke, alone, and out of options when Alexander Williams offers her a job. She thinks she's been lucky. The interview is the first trap. Each day brings a new rule, a new correction, a new reason it's her fault. She rationalises everything, because the alternative is admitting what's actually happening.

A slow descent across five phases, told mostly from her POV with occasional flashes of his. The pacing is deliberate. The escalation is small enough each step that she never quite sees it coming.
