"Marcus, I came down here not because I can't bear to leave you, but because I wanted to say some things to your face. Things you need to hear." Marcus's eyes filled with desperate hope again.

First timer?” She blinked, caught off guard. “How did you know?” He shrugged with a shy laugh. “First-timers usually don’t smile that wide when they stand up.” Sarah felt heat rise to her cheeks, not from the sun. “Oh,” she murmured.

Just… two strangers enjoying Bali.”

“I’m sorry?” “You are not needed,” she said, her tone turning ice cold. Judy’s eyes widened just as a couple of men came out of the shadows and grabbed her by the throat.

Dave screamed as the crocodiles snapped their fangs hungrily, gazing up longingly at him. "Finally awake?" Someone said from across the hall. Dave darted his eyes to see Alejandro and his men staring up at him gleefully. Alejandro was smoking a cigarette and grinning at him.

She asked and I nodded. “How? What happened?” “Sincerely, I don't know. After I caught Lucho cheating on me, I ran out immediately and I found myself in front of the clubhouse. I recalled drinking myself to stupor and then this stranger came, he was wearing a black mask, we had a little sort of conversation and the next morning, I saw myself in a room naked with my clothes on the floor.” “What about the stranger?” She asked.

# Bonus Chapter 4: Coming Home **Valentina's POV - Their First Night Together After Reuniting** Valentina stood in Duke's apartment, heart hammering. They'd been circling each other for weeks since she'd returned to Riverdale. Tension building. Want growing. Need consuming. Tonight, it all came to a head. "You sure about this?" Duke asked, standing by the door like he might bolt. "Once we do this, there's no going back. No pretending we're just old friends."

He has a magnetism that, no matter how hard I try to ignore it, completely disarms me. When he stops in front of us, his posture is impeccable, his eyes shine with a familiarity that takes my mind five years back in time, to carefree nights and days filled with laughter. My body still remembers every touch, every glance, and it’s almost impossible to reconcile those memories with the image of the man before me now: Alexander, the Duke.

--- (DRACO CLUB) The Draco Club was alive, pulsating with energy as neon lights bathed the night in a kaleidoscope of colors. Inside, the beat of the music synchronized with the crowd's collective heartbeat, filling the air with electric anticipation. Laughter and murmurs wove through the atmosphere like a seductive undertone. Yet outside, amidst the thrumming vibrancy, Eros stood still, his silhouette stark against the club's chaos.
