Her vision blurred as she wandered, pulting music fading into the background. What kind of club was this he grumbled theidora

Her breaths came shallow and ragged as she pushed herself forward, her legs threatening to give out with every step
Finally, she reached a dark hallway which appeared to be far from the club, as she couldn’t hear any music again.
She paused, leaning against the cool wall as she tried to steady <b>herself</b>. But her body refused to cooperate, her head pounding and her limbs
heavier by the second.
Niver paused in her steps when she suddenly saw him.
At the end of the hallway, illuminated by a

Before she could process what she was seeing, the asshole raised a gun, his movements calm and deliberate
Nivera’s breath caught in her throat, her body frozen in ce.
The man on the floor <b>begged</b>, his voice weak and desperate, “Please…I didn’t mean to
The gunshot rang out, sharp and deafening in the silence.
Nivera’s scream tore from her lips before she could stop it over what she had just witnessed, and the colour drained from her face when the man turned instantly, his dark eyes locking onto her as she stood paralyzed at the edge of the hallway.
Alejandro stood on the balcony overlooking the club, his expression a mix of frustration and boredom as his <b>gaze </b><b>was </b>focused on a particr woman,
The woman from earlier, the one who had the audacity to pour not one but three drinks on him, was now draped over Nathaniel ckwell, her bodynguage seductive.

Alejandro knew the kind of women Nathaniel attracted opportunists, gold diggers, or anyone desperate enough to be eared in his web.

Alejandro straightened, his annoyance with the woman shoved aside. “Show me their photos”
The guardhanded him a tablet, disying the images of two men taken from the club’s security car
Alejandro memorized their faces in seconds. It was easy as he had a photographic memory.

With a final nce toward Nathaniel and the woman, Alejandro turned and left the balcony, his focus now on the task
He searched through the club and his search led him to a restricted area, dimly lit and eerily quietpared to the chaos of the

The first punch came out of nowhere.
Alejandro reacted instantly, his reflexes sharp from years of training as he dodged i
The man lunged at him again, but Alejandro sidestepped, grabbing his attacker’s arm and twisting it behind his back.
