Piper could be seen with two other girls in the VIP area of a club. From where they sat, they could get a proper view of everything happening on the dance floor. G

With a wine glass in hand, she stared boringly at the stripers enticing the men.

“Piper, what’s going on with you? Your mood these days speaks of heartbreak. Who is the good-for- nothing?” Muti, one of Piper’s foreign best friends asked while brushing Piper’s hair off her face. She was wearing a fiery red gown.

“Is there a man that would dare to break Piper’s heart? I don’t think so, unless they are courting death.” Clara shook her head. She was clad in a black off-shoulder mini gown. She looked simple but drop- dead gorgeous.

Both girls were from Country Y and came to Country M only for Piper’s birthday.

Piper ha tes to celebrate her birthday because her brothers don’t show up. However, since her friends came this time, she decided to bring them to this club, owned by Maverick, hoping she could use the opportunity to see him.

She had asked the Manager if her brother was there but the Manager, just like her cold brother, didn’t give her a straightforward answer. Now, admitting to her friends, she doesn’t have the zeal of a birthday girl or of someone who could be entertaining her friends.

“I envy this bi tch as f*xk! She is the only sister to three sought-after men. If I were her, I would have long broken the barrier surrounding the da mned stalemate of my relationship with my brothers.” Clara stated with undisguised envy in her voice.

“Not when you’re in her messy situation.” Muti sighed and picked up her drink.

“That’s right, Piper’s situation is beyond help. Why did her heart choose to beat for the wrong guy? Why not the last guy in the circle?” Clara mourned on her friend’s stead.

“Who goes near Psycho? Any lady who falls in love with that madman would automatically be giving her life as a lab r at for free.” Muti said with disgust.

“What do you mean? I’ve been too busy lately. Hasn’t he changed? I thought a meeting was held against him. fill me in.” Clara frowned.

“Not on that aspect. This is about the way he treats ladies. The government can’t do anything about that unless one of the girls would speak up, but well, you know Psycho and what he’s capable of.”

“Oh, I thought it had something to do with his extreme cruelty to the children.”

Muti shook her head. “This is bad too. Damien has a fetish. He doesn’t sleep with ladies. The best thing he had ever done to ladies with ‘perfect’ bodies was to give them a little bit of foreplay to set them in the mood, then thrust a toy into them or place them on automated s3x machines.”

“Ewwww! That’s gross. What does he enjoy in that?” Clara’s face looked disgusted.

“He’s only satisfied watching them moan and produce whatever sound they could. That only happens if the girls could solicit such a reaction from him, else he’d call them names and they’ll end up being used for experiments.”

“That guy is si ck!”

“Yes, totally. He’s the craziest one among the three Musketeers.”

“Does he not have exceptions? Like the ladies he truly enjoys?” Clara inquired further.

“Only those two bi tches. Emilee and Doris.” Muti sneered.

“Di sgusting!”

Everything the girls were saying didn’t get through Piper’s cars. She was lost in her own world, looking at the sinful activities going on below her while her mind thought of something more sinful… Maverick! 1

Piper’s gaze shifted to the entrance where there seemed to be a commotion. Her eyes shot open and she jolted from her seat, startling the other two girls who were forced to also look through the glass floor-to-ceiling window.

“Alpha Chaos,” Clara purred like she just saw her lover, earning a murderous look from Piper which none of them took to heart.

“What is he doing here?” Muti looked a little puzzled.

“His sister is here, this is his club, so….” Clara said sarcastically.

“Muti?!” Clara hurriedly sh ut her up.

Who doesn’t know that Alpha Chaos and Rex detest Piper? They don’t want to have anything to do with her, probably because of her bloodline. She’s a Xu.

“Piper, how about you go try things out with him? Talk to him and see if he’ll ignore you in the presence of so many people.” Muti advised.

“I concur. Today is the day you turn 21. For those years he appeared to have hat ed you. You really should give it a try and see if he’s still indifferent towards you. Don’t just assume things. Am I saying

something?” Clara pulled Piper’s arm to wake her from her mesmerized state.

“What?!” She snapped.

“Go to him. This is your chance.” Clara urged her.

With her friends egging her on, Piper left the VIP room and headed to where Maverick was sitting in a dark corner.

Maverick was receiving a call when Piper sat in front of him. “Older brother,” Piper bit her lip with a thumping heart. She was scared he would embarrass her, but like her friends said, she needs to give it- This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

a try.

Maverick put the phone down after he was done receiving his call and started to slowly drink in wait for whoever he was there for.

“Today is my 21st birthday, Older brother,” Piper’s eyes welled up in tears when she got nothing as worthless as a vicious glance from him. He treated her like air.

“Older brother,” she wiped the teardrop that fell on her cheek, still Maverick didn’t look her way.

“I don’t know why you ha te me so much. It was not my fault that I’m your sister from a different

father. I admit that mom did something wrong to you, Rex, and your father, but I’m innocent, big brother! But I’ll keep asking for your forgiveness, hoping one day you will forgive me.” Despite her sweet voice that was filled with grievances, Maverick didn’t know if another entity was there.

Soon, another man joined them and Piper had to leave.

Joining her friends who were looking at them from the VIP room was something she didn’t think of doing right now. She felt so hurt that her eyes almost exploded in tears.

Her sorrowful gaze spotted the dancing floor and she hurried there, pushed a striper off the pole, and took the striper’s job.

People might not know her to be Alpha Chaos and Rex’s sister, they knew she was the Xu family’s Young Miss, Davis’ sister, so who would dare to take her for an entertainer? Or touch her lustfully like they do to other stripers?

Piper didn’t consider her celebrity image before doing that. All she knew was that she felt hurt and heartbroken and right now, she needed to do something.

While she danced seductively, her gaze was on the area where her brother was. She thought he would stop her but even now, her brother didn’t look her way.

Her style and movement on the pole became faster and more seductive and some men forgot who she was. One was bold enough to get on stage to spray her money. Once he was done, instead of leaving, he took the opportunity to become her dancing partner while using his hands to feel her body.

Piper felt disgusted at what was happening. The men were undressing her with their lustful eyes. But she had to endure. She must get a reaction from her brother today. So she thought.

Her friends didn’t get involved because they grabbed what she wanted to achieve.

She guided the guy’s hands to her chest and the hypnotized idi ot grabbed her breast In public. Maybe he really forgot that he was on stage with a lady he shouldn’t have been there with.

Inside one of the private rooms, a guy could be seen looking down at those on the dancing floor with cold eyes. He picked up the gun he placed on the table and shot a bullet through the floor-to-ceiling

window, aiming straight at the two on stage.

The bullet wasn’t supposed to penetrate the window but because it was a specially made bullet that could only be owned by the three Musketeers, the window couldn’t hold the bullet from flying.

In the midst of the excitement and all, nobody thought a bullet was flying over their heads. All they saw that got them shocked out of their bones was the death of the guy who was about to kiss Piper. Piper froze and her head turned to look at where the gunshot came from. It was a VIP room. Who could it be? Her curiosity didn’t last long because the person came out a few minutes later.

She gasped in shock and despair took over her. Davis? When did he arrive? She felt a chill run down her spine as he walked to her on the stage.

Piper and her friends knew that she was finished, so they immediately hurried down from the room, intending to go save Piper in whichever way they could.
