Hey, why did you lock me in?
201
Bruce Vanderbilt II, the most desirable heir to a multi-million fortune, a seductive bachelor has finally found himself a match.

What?
203
Are they talking about me?
204
They were spotted together at an elite restaurant in the city.
205
That's not me.
206
And it seems the passion between them is impossible to tame.

210
And I was locked in this house like in a cage.

You okay in there?
212
I just wanted to check if you needed any help.
213
I should have been shouting, screaming for help.
214
But just knowing it was him, I couldn't get a single sound out.

If you ever need anything, I'm right next door.

It's you.

Dreaming of just touching you.
221
And I dreamed that you would end up right next to me.
222
Amelia.
223
Amelia.
224
Amelia, hey!
225
What the hell are you doing sleeping by the door like a dog?
226
The breaker box is over there.

Why do you need me?

You're my bride, I'm your husband.
234
That's it.
235
No, that's a lie.
236
First you clear the whole place out.
237
Now you cut the electricity.
238
I'm a hostage in this house.
239
Please.
240
Please answer me.

What are you going to do with me?
242
It's me who decides what to do with you.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
