Chapter Seventy-EightSarah stumbled forward, nearly falling, catching herself on the arm of a chair.Behind her, she could hear more laughter, more comments, but her brain could no longer process the words clearly. Everything was becoming fuzzy, distant, unreal.Just get to the door. Just get to the door. Just get to the door.The mantra played on repeat in her failing consciousness as she forced her drugged body forward, step by agonizing step, toward the exit and whatever slim chance of escape it might represent.She could hear movement behind her now—someone standing up, footsteps approaching.Sarah's hand finally reached the door handle. She grabbed it with trembling fingers, tried to turn it.Everything was spinning. Her strength was fading. The drug was winning.But she had to try. Had to fight.Had to escape before it was too late.With a surge of pure survival instinct and adrenaline, Sarah managed to twist the handle and pull the door open. She staggered out into the corrido

Chapter Seventy-SevenSarah Wilson stepped through the entrance and immediately into another world—one that assaulted her senses with its intensity and chaos.The first floor of the club was a pulsing mass of humanity. Music blared at a volume so high it was almost physical, the bass vibrating through the floor and up through Sarah's body with each thunderous beat. Strobe lights cut through the darkness in rhythmic flashes, illuminating the crowd in stuttering fragments—bodies pressed together, arms raised, people dancing with abandon or shouting conversations that couldn't possibly be heard over the deafening music.The air was thick with heat, sweat, expensive perfume, and alcohol. The crowd was young, wealthy, and reckless—the kind of people who came to exclusive clubs to lose themselves in excess without consequence.Sarah followed the security guard closely, staying right behind him as he navigated through the writhing crowd with practiced ease, his large frame clearing a path th

Chapter Seventy-Six“Hello?""Sarah Wilson!" A familiar male voice came through the line—smooth, confident, and sending immediate chills running down her spine despite the warm temperature in her room."Ca... Caleb?" she breathed out, completely astonished. How did he get her number? She'd never given it to him, had specifically avoided doing so precisely to prevent situations like this. "How... how did you get—”"Your spineless boyfriend gave it to me," Caleb cut her off smoothly, his tone suggesting Drake's betrayal was both expected and amusing to him. "Quite readily, actually. Didn't even require much persuasion."Sarah felt a flash of anger and betrayal course through her. Drake had given Caleb her private number? How could he do that? What right did he have to hand out her contact information, especially to someone like Caleb Stone?"Have you thought carefully about what I offered you last night?" Caleb continued, not giving her time to process her anger at Drake. "About the opp

Chapter Seventy-FiveSarah Wilson sat on her bed, still in her silk pajamas despite it being nearly noon, staring blankly at the ornate wallpaper of her bedroom without really seeing it. Her mind was completely occupied, spiraling through the events of the previous evening's auction over and over again in an exhausting loop.How did it happen? How did Ethan Cole—her ex-husband, the man she'd divorced and left with absolutely nothing—manage to pull off something so spectacular, so impossible?Forty million dollars. He'd bid forty million dollars without even flinching, without showing the slightest hesitation or concern. He'd said the number like it was nothing, like forty million was pocket change, lunch money, completely insignificant.And that card. God, that Black Gold Card that he'd used to pay.Drake had explained it away with that theory about Ethan borrowing it from the Chairman, acting as some kind of glorified errand boy. And Sarah desperately wanted to believe that explanati

Chapter Seventy-FourEthan drove his sleek black sedan into the underground parking structure of Apex Consolidated Industries, navigating smoothly through the security checkpoint where the guards immediately recognized his vehicle and waved him through without hesitation. He pulled into his designated spot in the VIP garage—a private section reserved exclusively for top executives and the Chairman himself.The VIP garage was dramatically different from the regular employee parking—quieter, more spacious, with polished concrete floors and premium lighting. Only about ten vehicles ever occupied this exclusive space, and each parking spot had the owner's name and title etched into a brass plate mounted on the wall.Ethan's spot simply read: "Chairman."He stepped out of his car, the door closing with that solid, expensive sound that only high-end vehicles produced. He paused for a moment to adjust his shirt sleeves, ensuring they sat perfectly at his wrists, then straightened his silk ti

Chapter Seventy-ThreeCaleb Stone's car, flanked by two accompanying vehicles filled with his security entourage, pulled into the Stone Mansion's circular driveway with calculated style and precision. The convoy moved in perfect formation—a display of power and coordination that the Stone family had perfected over generations.The Stone Mansion itself was a testament to wealth and influence that needed no explanation. The family name was elegantly encrypted into the stonework above the grand entrance, but honestly, the inscription was almost unnecessary. The sheer size and architectural magnificence of the building already made an unmistakable statement: this property belonged to extremely high-profile people who wielded genuine power in Boston and far beyond.The mansion rose three stories high, with wings extending in both directions from the central structure. Manicured gardens surrounded the property, illuminated by strategically placed lights that cast dramatic shadows across per
