Alexander stirred and groaned as he slowly opened his eyes, feeling as though he had just been hit on the head. Quickly, he scanned his surroundings, frowning in confusion at what just happened.

‘Did she drug me?‘ he inwardly cursed as he moved on his seat. He then recalled Rain’s words before he lost

consciousness.

‘Once you wake up and find me still not back in this lounge, that means I’m in danger. You need to make a scene and act like you’re drunk and angry while

looking around for me, because if you don’t… I’ll end up dead.

“Shit! What a troublesome woman…” he muttered

under his breath.

Getting up from his chair, he bolted right outside to the lounge. He knew things didn’t make any sense, but he didn’t want to take a risk… What if that woman was truly in danger?

In the hallway, he saw Madame Beck and the bouncers behind her, with Rain standing on the open door.

Instinctively, he staggered, slurring his words and shouting, “Twilight, dammit! Come back here!”

He stumbled around, acting as if he was desperately searching for her, trying to draw attention and create the diversion Rain needed. He cursed under his breath

as he approached Madame Beck. Just then, he saw Rain trembling and crying. It would seem that the

performance she said was over earlier was just getting

started.

“I’m sorry, Madam Beck. I panicked and got scared so I ran outside,” Rain sobbed. “The exit door was closer

than the emergency button inside the lounge, so I ran here, hoping to find an open lounge to hide in.”

Alexander gritted his teeth, baffled by the situation. ‘Damn… Why am I the one that looks like a bad guy here?‘ he thought. His head was spinning, but he decided to play along with whatever Rain was up to.

Back in the scene, Rain quickly wiped away her tears and grabbed Alexander’s hands. “I’m sorry, Mr. Lancaster. I didn’t mean to run away,” she dramatically stated. “I just thought you might try to take advantage of me. It was my first kiss, and I got nervous thinking you might do more than just kiss me!”

‘What the hell is this?‘ Alexander thought in irritation. ‘What the hell did I get myself into?‘

Madame Beck turned to him with raised brows and

asked, “Is what she’s saying true, Mr. Lancaster?”

Frowning, Alexander didn’t bother to answer, to which Madame Beck took his silence as a yes. Seemingly understanding the situation, she smiled at him and calmly stated, “You do know that we don’t sell our entertainers‘ bodies here, right?”

“I only kissed her,” Alexander coldly stated.

In truth, he didn’t know what had come over him a

while ago. All he felt was that Rain’s lips were too inviting. Thinking about it now, Alexander inwardly

cursed himself. It was fortunate that he still had the presence of mind to think rationally during the kiss and managed to remove her wig. That had been his main objective, but now it also served as his excuse for kissing her.

After a second, Madame Beck turned to Rain and

hissed. “It’s just a kiss. Don’t overreact! Go back inside the lounge now and don’t make our client mad.” She then clicked her tongue and scolded, “You’re doing

sexy and strip dancing in this club, so don’t act like a

naive virgin!”

Rain’s face flushed red with embarrassment. “Just

because I dance seductively doesn’t mean I’m easy,”

she mumbled.

The madame glared at Rain, but it quickly turned into a smile as she turned her attention back to Alexander. “I apologize for this, Mr. Lancaster. Twilight is a newcomer, and it might take some time for a virgin like her to adjust to this kind of work,” she explained. “How about I arrange for you to meet with a more experienced entertainer?”

Alexander’s face darkened as he firmly replied, “No.” He then pointed at Rain and reiterated, “I. only. want. her.”

Madame Beck let out a heavy sigh, but she maintained her smile as she addressed him. “I understand, Mr. Lancaster. How about you go back to the lounge while I speak with Twilight first then?”

Seeing the situation, Alexander felt uneasy about leaving Rain alone. However, he reluctantly agreed. It wasn’t like he had any choice in the matter. “I

apologize for the misunderstanding,” he seriously stated. “Can we go back inside the lounge now, Twilight? I promise I won’t touch you without permission.”

Rain murmured, glancing at him with fear. She was an exceptional actress it would seem. She should be on stage rather than working in this club!

“Just go. We’ll discuss this later!” Madame Beck

sneered at Rain.

“Alright,” Rain answered. She looked at Alexander and added, “Let’s go back, Mr. Lancaster.”

Letting things play out, Alexander followed Rain back into the lounge. As soon as the door closed, her

demeanor shifted immediately. With a smile, she

turned to face him, far from matching his frustrated

expression.

“You have some explaining to do, young lady!” he demanded with crossed arms.

Indeed, she had some explaining to do. However, Rain didn’t answer him yet again. Instead, she stepped closer, a smile playing on her lips. “Thank you so much for helping me out tonight.”

Alexander frowned, his patience wearing thin. “I don’t need your gratitude. What I want is an explanation of what’s going on, Rain.”

The smile faded from Rain’s face. With a sigh, she locked eyes with him, her tone firm. “If you want me to stay alive, you’ll address me as Twilight inside this club and never mention that other name. Like I said, you’ll put her in danger. I’m Diana Jones.”
