Nivera ran, her breath ragged and legs barely holding her up, but the didn’t dare glance back at the r

The drugs effect in her body was getting more and more lethal, but she pushed harder, her instincts possible between her, the club, and everyone in it

The dogs coursing through her system made the world spin violently, blurring the edges of her vision.

Her pulse pounded in her ears, drowning out the pulsing music that faded as she moved further

She had to get out!

Her fingers trailed along the walls for balance as her legs wobbled beneath her.

Nathaniel would be waiting in the main club, watching for her return like the predator he was

What kind of club was this? She gritted her teeth, frustration mixed with fear.

She froze when someone suddenly appeared in front of her. From the clothes, she realized the woman was an employee

“Please, I’ve been drugged; I need another exit, one that doesn’t lead back to the clubi.”

“Oh my, come with me the employee said as she held Nivera and helped her walk.

They then began to make their way to the exit, with Nivera praying that the employee wouldn’t take her back to the men she was running from,

Finally, a heavy door marked with an “Exit” sign appeared at the end of a narrow hallway.

Relief washed over her as the employee pushed it open, and she stumbled into the cool night air,

“Come, let’s get you in a taxi away from this, the employee said, and Nivea couldn’t be more grateful to her.

The alley behind the club was quiet except for the distant hum of traffic.

The sharp contrast to the chaos inside the club made her pause, her chest rising and falling as she fought to steady her breathing

“Thank you,” she said to the employee when they got to the street

“You’re welcome. This club is a dangerous one, as predators come here. A word of advice, don’t come back here,” the employee advised, and Nivera nodded, not even needing to be told as she had made that resolution hersell

“I won’t Go back inside; I’ll be fine,” she said, and the employee nodded before leaving

Nivera didn’t have time to linger, as her eyes scanned the street just the same time a taxi rolled into view.

She stepped into the light, waving frantically.

The cab screeched to a halt, and she yanked the door open, collapsing into the back seat, “Drive,” she gasped, her voice trembling. “Just drive!”

The driver turned in his seat, his brow furrowed in concern. “Miss, are you…

“Go, please!” she interrupted, her tone sharp despite her fear.

The driver shrugged and pulled away from the curb, glancing at her through the rearview mirror.

Nivera sank into the seat, her body trembling as the events of the night replayed in her mind. Nathaniel’s leering grin. The stranger’s dark, piercing eyes, The gunshot

The thought sent a shiver down her spine. She glanced over her shoulder, half expecting to to his face glaring back at her through the rear window.

Nivera shook her head to stop herself hom hyperventilating.

She couldn’t go back to her apartment. Nathaniel’s men would already be looking for her, and there was no telling if the stranger

The drug she injected him with was supposed to last hours, but she didn’t want to take the risk.

Her voice wavered as she leaned forward, addressing the driver. “Take me to the nearest motel”

“Sure thing, but it’s going to cost you.” The man nodded, changing lanes.

A few minutes later, the cab pulled up to a small, dingy motel on the edge of the city. The neon sign flickered, casting eerie shadows across the cracked

pavement.

Nivera paid the fare with shaking hands, muttering a quick “thank you” before stepping out.

It took her several minutes to drag herself inside the motel, as she was beginning to lose sensation in her body.

Nathaniel was a bastard!

If the drugs had knocked her out and were instead slowly incapacitating her, it meant he wanted her to be aware of what he was doing to her but not be able to fight back.

The clerk barely glanced at her as she checked in, handing her a key to one of the upstairs rooms. She climbed the stairs, her legs heavy with exhaustion.

Once inside, she locked the door and slid the chain into place, her hands trembling as she secured the deadbolt

The room smelled faintly of mildew, and the furniture was worn and mismatched. But it was safe,

She immediately collapsed onto the bed, her body sinking into it.

Her thoughts spiralled as she replayed the events of the night once again. This had been her last chance, her one shot at salvaging her career and proving her worth

Now, it was over!

Tears welled in her eyes, and she let them fall, her body trembling

Her name was Nivera Elton, and she was the youngest daughter of the Elton family. The Eltons were one of the richest and most powerful families in the

world

They had ruled the finance and investment world for years. That sounded nice to everyone, but not her. It was a tradition in their family for every child to be groomed to join the family business.

This was what was a huge problem for her, as unlike her siblings, who were polished and obedient, she had always been the black sheep.

Where they excelled in boardrooms and followed her father’s orders without question, she had always craved freedom. She wanted a life of creativity and passion, qualities her father dismissed as frivolous
