Working on my script for the whole day, | was drowning in an unfamiliar sense of satisfaction. | have put " family"
as the core of my life for so long, that I forgot the fun of living for myself.
When | finally put it down, | almost missed my date with Aurora. Hurrying out of her place, | got to Nightingale 10
minute to 8. | prefer being early.
I wish I didn't.
Nightingale is the biggest nightclub in town. Best place for entertainment for any and everyone, so long as you
can afford a drink. We used to chere all the tin college, enjoying its "safe hour" for a little alcohol and a
lot of fun. 8 pm to midnight, four hours of light, fun music with drinks and chats and snacks. Safe hour. Because
after midnight, the heart-pumping DJ would get up there and boil this place into a crazy porridge. Drugs, sex...
You nit. But tonight, the safe hour is not safe, for me.

should have waited for Aurora, outside. It might be "safe hour", but it's still a nightclub.

"Miss Fuller?" With too sweet a smile, a young man - a boy - scooches up toalmost pasting his body

| frown at him squeezing distance out between us. He has no sense of a proper manner and | have to
leave the stool to dodge him.
"Who is your boss?" | grip my phone tight, not sure if 1 should call for help. This is not the sa women, not to
mention a pregnant one.
He grins at me, then turns his head as a hint. | follow his sight to look.
Gabriel fucking Fuller.

I really shouldn't have ctonight. But then again, if he wants trouble with me, | wouldn't be safe even if not at
a nightclub.
Gabriel is Jack's only son, and Ava's only big brother. And I'm pretty sure to him, Ava is his only sister, too.
| was hurt by Sebastian because he cares about Ava so much that he is blind when it comes to her. He would
scoldwithout caring whether | was the one misbehaving.
But Gabriel?
He is her real minion.
He is not decent as Sebastian tries to be, he is a real bully.
Even if Ava so much as shoots a frown in my direction, he would cfor "revenge". He broke my toys. that |

how | cheated my way through anything | did better than Ava.
| enjoyed school because | had two loyal friends. But it doesn't mean | wasn't suffering with the shadow called
Gabriel over my head for ten long years.
What scaresthe most is, he couldn't lay a finger on me...until now.
[Code red, help!] Code red is Gabriel for me, Aurora, and Lilith.
I only managed to send a quick message to Aurora before the boy basically draggedto his boss.
Sitting among his "gang", Gabriel giveshis iconic evil smirk, leavingstanding in front of his table,

most typical rich brat as it comes. School king, popular among bullies and those who fear bullies; mean girls by
his side, one after another.
"Haven't got tto teach you a lesson, little Scar," Gabriel starts lazily. He is smiling but his tone is dangerous,
"...is that why you dare to bully Ava now?"
Bully Ava? | laugh. | should have known, | mean, even rejecting to give Ava my doll is a crime. So it makes total
sense that Gabriel is here for revenge after what happened three days ago.
"After all these years, you are still just her little minion without a brain of your own," | fold my arms, counting
how long it would take Aurora to cin my mind, "what am | supposed to have done this time?"
Ava lies. Period. | don't know why a spoiled princess like her even needs to lie. It's not like her army wouldn't tear
just told them to. But she likes to lie her way into that, as if that gives her extra satisfaction. She frameslike
it's her job, and she is serious about her career.
