Chapter 68

Romeo and Marie hesitantly entered the strip club, their eyes scanning the dimly lit room. The air was thick with the smell of smoke and alcohol. Naked girls and guys danced on stage, their bodies glistening under the flashing lights.

Marie: (nervously) Oh my god, Romeo. This is crazy.

Romeo: (calmly) Just relax, Marie. We're here to see Luca.

Marie: (scandalized) But this is a strip club! I've never been to one before.

Romeo: (reassuringly) I know, baby. Just stick with me.

Luca: (booming voice) Hey, my people! Come and join me! Let's have fun!

Romeo and Marie followed the sound of Luca's voice to a VIP room in the back. Luca was sitting on a couch, surrounded by naked dancers.

Luca: (smirking) Ah, Romeo and Marie! Welcome to my humble abode.

Marie: (nervously) Thanks, Luca.

Luca: (gesturing to the dancers) Help yourselves, my friends. Enjoy the show.
