The hostess continued, âMoney, they say, can't follow you from the cradle to the grave. It truly
belongs to you only when you've spent it. Rest assured, our service will never disappoint.â
With such assurance from her, Regina had little choice but to agree.
âFine, but let me warn you-if your service is subpar, I'll be filing a complaint. I canât let my dear
husband throw his money away for nothing.â
Regina's voice was sugary sweet, but even with her stunning looks, it was a bit much to stomach.
âDonât worry, miss. Your satisfaction is a given, A118, we have guests, A118, we have guests.â
All Regina heard was the woman repeating herself into the walkie-talkie, then a man in black
stepped forward to take over her duties.
âPlease, follow me.â
Regina muttered just loudly enough for the man to hear, âDarling, where on earth is he taking us?
It's all twists and turns I'm getting dizzy.
The man turned with a good-natured smile and explained, âMiss, you've booked our most exclusive
suite. To highlight your distinguished status, we reserve the most secluded spots for our VIPS. Just a
moment longer, and we'll be there.â
Nolan subtly turned his face away from the attendantâs view, and the couple exchanged a knowing
glance.
Regina was puzzled. They had never been to this part of the establishment before, and the way they
were being led deeper made her wonder if they'd be able to leave without a fuss. Nolan patted the
arm hooked through his and mouthed, âDonât worry.â
Despite her concerns, Regina felt a bit more at ease knowing she wasn't alone-Nolan was by her
side.
At the same time, he was silently noting the route. The maze-like design seemed intentional, as if to
discourage guests from leaving without spending-a trap of sorts.
He had a bad feeling, but with Reginaâs grip on his arm tightening, he didnât want to voice his
worries and alarm her.
After several more minutes, the attendant finally stopped in front of a door. He turned with a
professional smile. âHere we are-the créme de la créme of our suites. Right this way, please.â

Inside, it was pitch black, not a single light on.
Regina peered in and complained loudly, âWhat kind of place is this? We've paid good money-donât
short-change us. Why aren't the lights on?â
âPlease, miss, our reputation is at stake. We wouldn't dream of cutting corners with our guests. If we
did, our clientele would surely dwindle.â
He gestured for them to enter, and they reluctantly stepped in. But as soon as they crossed the
threshold, the door slammed shut behind them.
What in the world?
Both dropped the pretense and rushed to the door. Nolan pulled with all his might, but it wouldnât
budge.
"What's going on? It was fine a second ago. Have they caught on to us?â
Regina whispered in a tense, off-key voice while trying to keep her cool.
Nolan's brow furrowed deeply. If it were just him, it would be one thing, but Regina was there, and
he feared for her safety.
"Step back, I'm going to try kicking it down.â
