TAEHYUNG's POV:-

"So...where are you taking me?" Mavis asked as she glanced at me.
"The TT." I replied plainly.
"Oh, that's where my roommate works." She stated, excitement laced her voice.
But soon her expression changed.
"Wait, do you..."
"Own the Tipsy Turbulence?" I interrupted.
"Yes. I do." I said with a smirk as her eyes widened.
"No way! So you're my boss, and my friend's too! Wow, this is a small world." I chuckled as she mumbled to herself.

It was indeed. Hence I knew exactly what her so called 'bestie' planned to do with her, and I wouldn't allow it. I just thought Mavis should know too, before I dispose off Rose for good.
The driver opened the door for us, as we slid out of the Bentley.
We entered the dimly lit club, bombarded by the loud music, pounding with a primitive, seductive beat. The  decor was a mix of brushed metals and dark wood, with a multihued lighting, creating animal print silhouettes.

A part of me wanted to take Mavis right here, with the perfect steamy mood. Just being here was arousing enough.
But I knew she wouldn't approve of my amorous advances, at least not yet
"The music here is so loud!" She squealed, trying to stay close enough to me, not to get lost in the crowd. I simply nodded. I gently grabbed her hand and pulled her with me to the VIP section.
When we entered, the bouncers greeted me, as they cleared the way to let me pass.
As we passed them, Mavis gave them another glance, fascination lit up her brown orbs.

"Here, have a seat." I said pointing at the couch. She nodded, letting out a small 'thank you' before she sat down.
It was quieter here. But the strippers swinging from the poles and putting on a show, clearly made her uncomfortable. I could see her blush as those women swung their hip rhythmically to the sensual music. I couldn't help but let out a silent chuckle.
But I got distracted by the buzzing of my phone. I excused myself from her and stepped away to answer the call.

"What?" I asked annoyed.
"Boss, Hunter Wild has cornered Rose in the woman's restroom. I think it's the best time to send Miss Stone there." Jungkook reported in a hurry. I hung up. There was no time to waste.
I needed Mavis to catch Rose, redhanded, and I had to do it NOW!
A waitress walked by me, carrying a tray with my usuals. Before she reached our table, where Mavis sat, I grabbed her and pulled her to the side.
"I need you to do something for me." I ordered, the urgency eminent in my tone.
"Of course Mr Kim. What can I do for you?"

MAVIS's POV-:

I sat stiffly as I watched women swing around poles, and twerk their butts in sync with the music.
Watching them left me completely abashed. I tried my best to focus on something else, when I noticed from the corner of my eye, that a waitress was making her way to our table. I saw Taehyung walking a few steps behind her.
She started placing some drinks and snacks on our table, as Taehyung sat next to me. But before either of us could say anything I felt something wet soiling my lap.

I jerked in surprise when I saw that the waitress had accidentally spilled a drink on me. She started apologising nervously, probably because of Taehyung's presence, but I told her it was ok.
"Could you please show me to the restroom." I requested her.
"Of course. Please follow me." She said.
"I'll be right back." I told Taehyung who nodded in response.

"It's right down this corridor, to your left." She said smiling kindly. I thanked her and made my way to the restroom.
I was about to push open the door, when I heard raised voices from inside.
"I told you! I want my fuckin money. You either pay up, or give me that girl you were telling me about." A man's voice threatened, dangerously.
"And I told you I need some more time Hunter! Please!" I heard an extremely familiar voice yelling back at the male.

"How much longer do you plan to make me wait Rosie? You know you don't have that kind of money. Just hand over that slut to me and we can call it even." The male with the gravelly voice spoke frustratedly.
"I can't just give her to you so easily. I need to drug her first. Mavis isn't exactly stupid, it's hard to sneak up on her." My heart raced when I heard my name.
It was Rose. She was planning to drug me, and sell me to this guy!

'Your so pathetic Mavis. Your parents didn't want you and now, nor does your bestie.'
I heard Mai's mocking voice, almost bringing me to tears.

Without thinking, I burst open the door.
Both Rose and the man she referred to as 'Hunter' froze, shocked to see me.

"Mavis! What are you doing here?" Rose asked completely stunned to see me. I scanned her from head to toe, horrified and disgusted to see her in the same skimpy outfit as the other strippers.
"Were you going to sell me, to this man!" I accused, as my jaw tightened.
"Mavis....I....I can explain...."Rose stuttered, struggling to come up with an excuse.
"Hold up. Is this the bitch you were telling me about?" Hunter asked eyeing me from end to end. Rose gave him a brief nod.

"Well, she is yummier than what you showed me." He said as lechery laced his voice, making my hair stand.
He started walking towards me and grabbed my wrist forcefully. I whimpered as I struggled to break free.
"No! Stop! Let go off me. Please. Rose, help please." I beseeched her to stop him, but she stood still, her legs glued to the ground, hesitation and nervousness marked her features.

'None of this would have happened if I were in control. You're so stupid Mavis! Now both of us will have to pay the price for your naivety!' Mai barked.
No, she'll stop him! Rose won't let him take me!
'How fuckin delusional are you Mavis!'

"Your dear Rosie ain't saving ya. She can't even save herself." Hunter said with a snigger.

"You belong to me now, Doll Face. The sooner you get it, the better. Let's go now." He ordered as he dragged me out of the restroom, into the dim corridor.
"No..please....stop...Help! Rose...please...." I frantically cried out, trying hard to prevent myself from breaking down into tears.
This couldn't be happening. Oh god please save me. Someone, anyone!
He continued dragging me when our path was blocked by a man who stood at the end of the corridor, leaning against the wall.

"Going somewhere?" He asked with an amused smirk on his face. But the fury I saw in his eyes, made me shit scared for whom they were directed at.
