Chapter 12

• Brian stood up again, and the boys around him quickly followed suit. Among them was a guy who seemed to be their leader. With a sneer, he addressed Brian, “If you have the guts, show us you can leave this place. Who is this girl making such a scene? You know you’ve taken money from me, right? I’ll forget about the cash if you send her to my room.”
• His words hung in the air like a challenge, and I could see the anger flash in Brian’s eyes. Without hesitation, he swung his fist and landed a punch squarely on the leader's face. The impact echoed through the club, and the atmosphere shifted instantly. The other guys rushed forward, ready to retaliate.
• In that moment, I spotted a beer bottle nearby. Grabbing it, I smashed it down onto the table, shattering the glass into sharp shards. The sound was deafening, and all eyes turned to me. I held up the broken bottle, its jagged edge glinting ominously under the club lights.
