"Fuck, Alina?"
The familiar voice hascrying harder, Zaid's arms around my shoulders. The moment my eyes land on Zaid's
dark eyes, relief crashes overso intensely that my entire body

I nearly collapse, my breath coming out in a ragged exhale, my limbs suddenly weak. It's like breaking through

Aiden's smile completely disappears the moment he sees us walking toward him. Zaid transfersinto Aiden's

"Take her home," he says, his voice angry.
"No, Zaid-"
But he's already turning away.
Aiden frowns, looking down atwith wide eyes. "Are you okay?"
| can only shake my head and turn to watch in horror as Zaid stalks toward Mr. Admas, his movements precise.
Before Mr. Admas can react, Zaid grabs him by the collar of his

The last thing | see before the club doors close behind us is Aiden pulling him
away, his grip firm, his voice low, while Mr. Adams straightens his shirt, looking far too panicked.
