Samson gave a nod. “Go ahead.”

“Yes!” Jill cheered and practically bounced with excitement. She grabbed Sloane’s hand and rushed off toward
Eastgate Lounge, chattering non-stop along the way. “Sloane, Eastgate Lounge has a ton of fun stuff. Tonight
we're going all out!”
Behind them, Samson reminded, “Don’t stay out too late.”
“Got it!” Jill replied, already dragging Sloane into her car and speeding off.
Eastgate Lounge was the most exclusive club in Stonebridge-strictly members- only. Naturally, the bar for entry
was high: aworth of at least 7 million dollars, plus proven success in one’s field.
The club was divided into three main halls: the general lounge, the luxury hall, and the elite-level VIP suite.
Even Jill, despite her connections, had only visited the VIP suite a few times— always with Samson.
Inside, floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows wrapped around the entire lounge. Standing at the edge, the three of
them looked out across the glittering Stonebridge skyline, the city’s brilliance spread beneath them in every
direction.
“Con, let’s hit the bar!” Jill said excitedly, tugging Sloane along. Every tshe'd cbefore, Samson had
forbidden her from going into the bar. She'd been dying to check it out.
Cameron frowned. “But Mr. Samson said not to.”
“Oh please, he’s not here. And he’s not gonna find out unless someone tells him. Quit nagging” Jill was in full
party mode now-there was no stopping her.
Cameron had no choice but to follow, looking uneasy.
Inside the bar, Jill let loose. She danced wildly to the beat of the music, totally in her element. Her energy was
contagious-cheers and whistles rose from the crowd around her.

Meanwhile, Sloane sat at the bar, slowly swirling her drink. She glanced at the dance floor and the crowd, but
wasn't really feeling it. What caught her interest instead was the bartender’s graceful, precise movements-how
the different spirits clinked and blended in the shaker, how the colors shifted and shimmered.
The bartender had recognized Jill right away and prepared drinks accordingly- sweet and low-alcohol, perfect for
someone underage.
“Ugh, I'm wiped.” Jill returned from the dance floor, drenched in sweat.
She'd barely taken a sip of her drink when a staff member leaned down and whispered something in her car.
Jill frowned, then bent toward Sloane and shouted over the music, “Something cup. I'll be right back-don’t
go anywhere!”
Sloane gave a small nod, and Jill followed the staff member out.
Not long after, Cameron returned from the restroom and immediately noticed Jill was missing. He turned to
Sloane with a frown. After hearing what happened, he took out his phone and called Jill.
But her phone buzzed in Sloane's lap-Jill had left it behind before heading out to
dance.
Cameron's unease grew.
Sloane picked up on it right away and stood up. “Let’s split up. We'll call each other if anything comes up.”
“Alright.” Cameron took off in one direction, visibly anxious.

Unknowingly, Sloane had wandered far from the lively heart of the club. There was a faint sound coming from a
balcony up ahead. She stepped closer. “Jill? Is that you?”

Just as she entered the space, she heard the sharp click of a lock behind her.
Before she could react, the stink of alcohol hit her-followed by a shadow lunging
at her from behind.
