Novel & Cerita The Club

She leaned forward, staring at the entrance as if trying to make sense of it. I grinned, my eyes meeting hers. “I do now. Do you like it?” She raised an eyebrow. “You? Own a club? I never would’ve guessed. You don’t seem the type.” I couldn’t help but chuckle. “I’m full of surprises.” Her eyes shifted to the front of the building again, and I could see her trying to make sense of it. I wasn’t exactly known for public indulgences, but the club was an escape—a private space for the ones who understood the rules of the game. It wasn’t flashy or ostentatious, but it was mine. And for tonight, I was going to show Mona that side of me.

Lily immediately recognized it and exclaimed, "Isn't that the card for 'Diohn Club'!?" Everyone was surprised to hear this. "Diohn Club" is a highly exclusive and unique VIP club located in Cloud City. Unlike typical entertainment venues, it only accepts special guests who can enter by invitation card. These cards are sporadically issued by the enigmatic owner of "Diohn Club" and are auctioned off in limited quantities. Even celebrities find it difficult to gain entry.

The club was called The Secret club. Fitting. It was a dark, loud place where people went to forget who they were and what they’d done. The air was thick with the smell of sweat, spilled liquor, cheap perfume, and pure, unadulterated desperation. The bass from the music was a constant, heavy thump in my chest, a heartbeat that was not my own.

“He's checking some things out at the club.” “Club?” I asked with a frown. “Yes,” Nicola said. “One of Alessandro's power plants is in a club.” “What's the name of the club?” I asked calmly. “Luna Nera,” Nicola said confidently. “It's one of the biggest, most famous, and most successful clubs in Europe.” “They feature European artists,” Loreta said. “So that keeps the anticipation going.” I nodded and got curious. Nicola finished her coffee, picked up a few things, and left.

Alina inquired, tilting her head slightly to get a good view of his face. Dante gave her a cursory glance and a reassuring smile. "Nothing baby. We will soon be at the club" The drive to the club wasn't too long. Alina was marvelled by the architectural designs of the club once they arrived. It looked like a huge ancient temple, built with ancient block bricks. A few trees stood at the entrance welcoming them as they drove their sedan into the huge parking lot. The name of the club was bodly written at the top in red and blue markings.

THE CLUB POV: Nikolai Scott's club was called Meridian. It did not advertise. It did not have a sign outside, just a black door on a narrow street in the oldest part of Sky Shade City with a brass handle worn smooth from decades of the right hands pulling it. The kind of place that existed in the negative space of the city's social life. Everyone who needed to know about it knew. Everyone else walked past it every day without seeing it.

And Fantasy was His masterpiece. Invitation-only and wrapped in secrecy, the club existed beneath layers of silence and reputation. No websites advertised it openly. No public guest lists existed. Access came only through whispered recommendations, careful vetting, and the rare blessing of an invitation personally approved by The Master Himself. Inside, however, Fantasy became something entirely different from its modest exterior. It breathed.

"Can she be somewhere obvious to you too, Fred?” Fred hadn't told me if he had told the family about the reasons for attending that club. The place was best known for an ordinary nightclub, but if someone investigated properly, they would know that it was also a BDSM club. After my rescue, the place had been closed for investigations, and would probably remain until the end of that case.

I said, even as I reached for my jacket. “You always are,” he replied smoothly. “But this is important. The kind of important that keeps your territory quiet and your profits cleaner.” “An hour,” I said. “That’s all you get.” The club was hidden in plain sight, tucked between a high-end restaurant and an art gallery. No sign outside. Just a bouncer who didn’t ask questions once he recognized me. Inside, the air was thick with bass and smoke, red lights washing over bodies pressed together in calculated intimacy.

“What club?” “There’s a club over on Chestnut. It's called Dark Seasons,” waving his hand as though he had to think about the name, he continued. “Or it’s something like that. I am sure you will find it. It opened up a few nights ago, you will find it down near the old Fowler Building, I think. You could go there and check it out. Or just have fun… It’s all up to you.” “Perhaps, I will go. What type of club is it?” She asked nonchalantly, although, she was interested in doing anything but sit in the apartment another night.
