Baron

The car sped along the asphalt, the engine's roar muffled by the vehicle's steady interior. 

They traversed from the suburbs through bustling streets and back to desolate outskirts, making Emma feel as though they'd crossed an entire city.

When the car finally stopped, Damien dragged Emma out.

"Where are you taking me?" Emma demanded, her eyes landing on the dazzling neon sign in front of her. "Baron." 

Women, glamorous yet aged, alighted from luxury cars nearby.

That name, those people...

Emma's mind raced, realizing that places where men sought women invariably meant women sought men too.

Before Emma could resist again, Damien effortlessly lifted her, striding towards the entrance with purpose.

As they approached the entrance, the doorman moved to intercept Damien Sterling, only to be confronted by his bodyguards.
