Chapter 15

015 He Is Bad News

Scarlett’s POV

Working on my script for the whole day, I was drowning in an unfamiliar sense of satisfaction. I have put ” family” as the core of my life for so long, that I forgot the fun of living for myself.

When I finally put it down, I almost missed my date with Aurora. Hurrying out of her place, I got to Nightingale 10 minute

to 8. I prefer being early.

I wish I didn’t.

Nightingale is the biggest nightclub in town. Best place for entertainment for any and everyone, so long as you can afford a drink. We used to come here all the time in college, enjoying its “safe hour” for a little alcohol and a lot of fun.

8 pm to midnight, four hours of light, fun music with drinks and chats and snacks. Safe hour. Because after midnight, the heart–pumping DJ would get up there and boil this place into a crazy porridge. Drugs, sex…You name it.

But tonight, the safe hour is not safe, for me.

I ordered a non–alcohol at the bar. I regret coming in the moment the bartender shoots me that weird glance. I should have waited for Aurora, outside. It might be “safe hour“, but it’s still a nightclub.

And trouble found me even before I could get my drink.
