Chapter 54
- Ariana's voice cut through the chaos, sharp and filled with panic. "Shit, fuck, get your hands off!" she shouted, thrashing and struggling against the iron grips that held her. Despite her best efforts, they held onto her as tightly as they could, their determination unwavering. She kicked and twisted, trying to break free.
- Outside, the weather mirrored the turmoil within. Thunder roared like an angry beast, shaking the very foundation of the building. Lightning split the sky, illuminating the gathered dark clouds and blocking out the moon and stars. The storm was relentless, a ferocious force of nature that refused to be ignored.
- In the ballroom, the atmosphere was tense, with every guest on edge as the scene unfolded. The once grand and serene space had become a battleground. The chandeliers swayed with the storm's force outside, casting erratic shadows across the room. The candles flickered wildly, struggling to stay lit against the gusts of wind that occasionally swept through the open doors.
