The Enchanted Nightclub was the largest nightclub in Sentius City. Plenty of people looked for partners or indulged in alcohol even in the light of day. There were men seeking excitement, and women seeking to be spoiled.
Under the colorful lights, the attractive ladies quickly found their prey. The red-haired man had clear skin and seductive lips to complete the package.
Ladies were falling over themselves to approach his tall, luxuriously-dressed figure. Francis didn't discriminate. He welcomed every single lady who approached him. He whispered teasing words that made all the women around him blush.
Francis gave Samantha, who was standing in a corner, a provocative glance.
She inhaled and exhaled slowly to steady her breathing. Samantha muttered under her breath, "You can do it."
Clenching her fists, Samantha walked toward the center of the stage. She had spoken with the sound engineer earlier.
As soon as she stepped onto the stage, electrifying music blared through the speakers. It stirred the crowd. Taking in the curious glances from the audience below, Samantha closed her eyes and danced to the beat.
She had a wild and rebellious phase before marrying Kendrick. Back then, Samantha had just entered puberty. Her strict upbringing at home suffocated her. Alexis Garcia, her friend, brought her out so they could both unwind.
The two of them were carefree teenagers. Thus, they were often seen having the time of their lives in nightclubs and bars during that time.
Confidently, Samantha twerked her hips to the music. Taking her coat off, she showed off her slender waist and sensual moves. With every beat, Samantha struck a seductive pose.
Swaying her hips as she approached the pole, Samantha grabbed it with both hands.
Like a gymnast, she scaled the pole deftly and hung upside down. Her long hair cascaded down her back like flowing water.
Samantha made sensual movements and shot provocative glances. It garnered the interest of every man in the room.
On the second floor, Damien Scott was watching the performance with great interest. When he saw the face of the beautiful woman, he almost spat the wine out of his mouth.
Spluttering, he exclaimed, "Damn!"
His exclamation made the two other people in the room furrow their brows. The man standing beside Damien shot him a threatening look.
But Damien was completely oblivious. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief and took a closer look.
Damien quickly jumped up and rushed to a man sitting in the middle of the sofa. He tugged on Kendrick's sleeve. "For God's sake, your wife knows how to dance!"
Hearing Damien's words, Kendrick finally reacted. He turned to Damien with a deadpan expression.
Damien insisted with a howl, "I'm telling you the truth. If you don't believe me, go and see for yourselves."
Jude went over as well. He blurted out in disbelief, "I can't believe my eyes …"
Raising an eyebrow, Kendrick got up and walked over to watch the stage.
Samantha's performance was at its climax. Her erotic dance and alluring glances exuded an irresistible charm from within. She seemed like a mesmerizing enchantress. Her beauty captivated the attention of everyone who laid eyes on her.
As Kendrick stared at the familiar face, his eyes narrowed. They had been married for three years, but he had never seen this side of Samantha before.
A malicious grin appeared on Kendrick's lips. He snapped his fingers and a waiter came in.
"Get me the woman who is dancing on the stage just now," Kendrick instructed. His deep voice resounded in the silent room.
"Yes, sir." The waiter nodded and withdrew.
The intoxicating atmosphere in the club was at its peak. Samantha finished her last dance move flawlessly. As she walked off the stage, she avoided the advances of the men in the audience.
Francis was leaning on the wall nearby. He gave her a meaningful look.
Samantha had not exerted herself in a long time. Sweat poured down her forehead after the energetic dance. She was breathing heavily.
"You lost," she said firmly. Her eyes were still shining brightly from the performance on stage.
A glint flickered in Francis' eyes. He walked over to Samantha and held her chin.
He said, "I never expected such a sexy little vixen hiding under this innocent facade. I'm curious to know if there's anything else about you that can surprise me."
"It's none of your business." Samantha brushed his hand away and turned to leave. Her parents were still in the hospital and she was eager to check on them.
Surprisingly, Francis didn't stop her.
Taking a few steps, Samantha realized that she didn't know where her parents were. She returned to Francis and looked at him. She asked with a calm expression, "Which hospital are my parents in?"
Francis raised an eyebrow and said teasingly, "If you give me a kiss, I'll tell you."
Gritting her teeth, Samantha tiptoed and gave him a kiss. Francis was taken aback, as he hadn't expected her to comply.
Samantha demanded with a frown, "Now, can you tell me?"
"They are at the nearest hospital," Francis murmured. As Samantha's figure disappeared into the distance, he touched his cheek in a daze. His lips curled into a smile.
