Is this destiny?

Chapter 2006 - Finding Noah (10)

The wired door opened, and Aiden stepped out amidst the cheers, going straight for Sarah whose enchanting smile was directed at him.

The boss who sent Jacob to fight found himself in a tight spot. He was denied a meeting blatantly, his best fighter was pummeled unconscious, and by now he understood that the fighter who beat Jacob is Erebus, the boss himself… and that means the woman Erebus is kissing must be Nyx. He was humiliated and angry, and at the same time surrounded by Sarah's people. But how can he just leave with the tail between his legs? He came with more than a dozen of his men and he guessed that the staff of the club consists of civilians, while only a handful of youngsters behind Nyx (aka Sarah) might be dangerous. But they all look young and skinny and not intimidating.

He didn't want to start a big fight, considering that he was in the enemy's territory, but he needed to show that he will not retreat in submission. After all, he was looking at Nyx and Erebus who were young enough to be his children.

The boss gave a hand signal to his men, stepped forward, and pointed a finger at Sarah and Aiden angrily. "You cheated!"

Due to the noise, no one heard the man shout, but they saw him step forward and the kids from the Cliffside villa rushed to stand in front of Sarah and Aiden.

Within a second, everything was quiet.

"What did you say?", Sarah asked the man.

He glanced around nervously. "I said… you cheated."

"Which part was cheating?", Sarah asked mockingly.

"Erebus used an alias."

Sarah rolled her eyes. "There were no restrictions on who can fight. You could have gone in and no one would say a thing."

Aiden stood in front of Sarah, shielding her with his body. That boss looked twitchy, and Aiden didn't want to take risks Sarah getting hurt.

Aiden glared at the man. "You wanted a meeting and you lost. You are welcome to stay in the club and enjoy the evening, or scram. But don't cause unnecessary troubles because you can't win."

"Unnecessary? You showed utter disrespect!"

Aiden raised his hand, willing to compromise and placate the man. "How about I treat you and your men a drink and we forget about this?"

"A drink?", the man hissed. "You think a drink will be enough?"

Aiden cocked his head. "And what do you want?"

"How about an apology?"

Sarah's face darkened as she stepped on the side, next to Aiden. The man was obviously unreasonable and if he thought that he had an upper hand, he was obviously mistaken. "An apology? For what?"

Aiden wanted to stop Sarah, but he saw that she was fuming, so he didn't want to get in the way. The fact that she stood by his side and didn't jump on that man to break a few bones, already showed that she was mindful of her pregnancy. Aiden noticed Sarah's fingers moving as she directed invisible drones and he smiled a little.

"For mistreating me and…", the man stopped talking and he sucked in a sharp breath when he realized that his men are sprawled on the ground and not moving. Just like that. What the hell happened?

Sarah smirked. "You were saying?"

"No-nothing…", the man stuttered and took a step back. "I was just leaving."

Sarah's eyebrow arched. "Leaving? My husband offered you to leave a minute ago, yet you spoke some nonsense about disrespect and apologies. Now, you can't leave… Take him!"

Before the boss could react, two men pulled him to the back and his shouts and curses disappeared at the back of the club. Sarah made a gesture with her hand, and the bouncers from the club dragged other unconscious people away. They all came with that boss and thanks to Eve and drones, Sarah had no problems tracking them through the club and knocking them out at the same time.

But Sarah was not only watching Aiden's fight and these people scattering through the club. Her Eve-lens was also showing her what was going on at the bar, and she was not happy with the current situation because it seemed that Chloe was about to leave, and Noah was about to let it happen.

Sarah's lips lifted into a smile and she waved toward the announcer, asking for his microphone.

"We apologize for this disturbance, and hope that this didn't ruin your mood for the evening…", Sarah's voice boomed through the club and her face was shown on all TV screens. "To make it up to you, for then next half an hour, all drinks are on the house!"

The crowd cheered and started waving waitresses to come and take their orders. But there were not enough waitresses to serve everyone at the same time, so many patrons moved toward the bar area.

At the bar…

Chloe looked at Noah. "The fight is over. I can leave, right?"

Noah frowned a little. "It seems that another trouble is coming…" He stood up and held Chloe's hand, pulling her away from the bar.

Chloe didn't expect Noah to make such sudden movement, and she stumbled while following him.

Noah stopped abruptly and Chloe ended up with her face stuck into his back.

"Aww…", she complained while rubbing her nose.

"How clumsy can you be?"

Chloe narrowed her eyes. "I would not be clumsy if you didn't drag me away so suddenly. What was that?"

Noah gestured toward the bar, and Chloe saw people crowding there. She remembered that Sarah offered free drinks, and that explained all the people.

"Thanks...", she mumbled as she understood that Noah dragged her away so that they don't end up in the middle of that commotion. If he stopped to explain, it would be too late to leave.

After a few seconds of silence, Chloe looked at Noah. "I will be going now. Good night."

"You are leaving?"

"Is there some other calamity in the schedule for tonight?"

Noah was not sure where that came from. What calamity? It was a night as usual. Almost. "Do you know how you are going home?"

"I will walk.", Chloe said and paused as she remembered what she wanted to say in the first place: "Thank you for everything."

"I didn't do much."

"If you didn't talk to me during the party at the Smith family, I wouldn't have an apartment and a job. You didn't need to save me from my family, but you did. And you didn't need to arrange for me to get a job interview, but you did. Even tonight, you chased away that man and gave me company while explaining what was going on. Maybe for you, it was not much, but for me it was. Thank you. If there is a chance in the future for me to help you out, I will. Good night."

Noah looked after Chloe's retreating back and he remembered Sarah's words: "A little bit of kindness goes a long way… You being by her side tonight won't cost you much, but for her, it could make a big difference…"

...

Chloe made her way through the crowd and stepped outside.

"Hey, going home already?"

Chloe turned toward the voice. She recognized the big guy, Mark. "Yes. I have work tomorrow."

"Did you have a good time?"

Chloe smiled. "It was good."

"Good, good. I hope you come again.", Mark said and shouted after Chloe as she walked away: "I wanted to buy you a drink, but my break is not for another half an hour…"

"Next time…", Chloe said and waved while walking away.

She was confident that she will not come to this place anymore, but she didn't want to say that at loud as it seemed that these people enjoy this environment.

The Chaos nightclub is loud and there was violence and the constant sense of danger and that was not her idea of a pleasant evening. The only good thing was that she got to see Noah and she thanked him for everything.

She accomplished her mission for the evening and she can continue with her life while embracing the future.
