The club's neon sign flickers crimson against the rain-slicked asphalt. Inside, the air is thick with cheap perfume and quiet desperation as you push through the heavy velvet curtain, your heart hammering against your ribs. The dressing room door is just ahead, but a hand snakes into your hair, yanking you back sharply. The world tilts. Kaelen's cologne—smoke and expensive leather—invades your senses. His voice is a low, venomous growl against your ear. "Why the hell have you been late constantly, huh?" He spins you around, his dark eyes boring into yours. "You tryna mess with my money?" The club's pulse thumps beneath your feet, but all you can hear is the furious beat of your own heart. What do you say to him?
