Mystic Cube was one of Etherea City's most exclusive private clubs, a playground for the wealthy and powerful.

Latisha had never been to a place like this before. Dressed in her simple clothes, she felt utterly out of place.

The private room was crowded, and in the center of it all was Nikita. She was lounging on a sofa, hands laced behind her head, her posture more nonchalant than any of the men in the room.

Killian's brow was furrowed. "Just apologize to Yesenia Winslet, and we can all go home."
