I'm taking you along tomorrow night.
It's a great opportunity to show you what I'm about.

Ariana could tell she had piqued his interest again.
A sense of triumph washed over Ariana; she was pleasantly surprised by Bennett's swift agreement to take her
to the banquet.
She had anticipated sresistance.
Concealing her excitement, Ariana pretended to be puzzled and inquired, “Will your boss also be present?”
“Absolutely,” Bennett replied with a smirk, teasing her.
He continued, “You'll be amazed by my boss’ presence.
He not only manages affairs despite his youth but also possesses remarkable charm.
People flock to him, captivated by his charisma.
Yet his intelligence and bravery overshadow his appearance.
Internally, Ariana couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Bennett's self-praise.
She pondered how someone as self-centered and detached from reality as Bennett could attain his current

She dreaded the idea of Holden facing harm due to her actions.
Restless, Ariana eventually rose and sat by the window, observing the security personnel below as they

Considering the stringent security measures, she wondered if escape was even feasible.
She fretted over the possibility of her rescue attempt inadvertently endangering Holden and Adrian.
As she dwelled on these thoughts, her fear intensified, and her mind was filled with myriad possibilities.
When she snapped back to reality, she was covered in a cold sweat, and dawn was approaching.
Despite spending the entire night awake, she still lacked a concrete plan.
When Bennett's people arrived to escort her at noon, Ariana had prominent dark circles beneath her eyes.
Ariana was led to a lavishly adorned room, evidently arranged by Bennett's crew.
Inside, she found a gathering of individuals, a variety of equipment, and stacks of gowns.
