Chapter 1: A Guest from afar

Getting away from the army of bodyguards that his father had assigned to protect him was easier than Alexander initially thought. He had been working, and learning the ropes of the business which he honestly liked. The only problem was, he was not given room to breathe. Having people constantly in your space wasn’t easy, and tonight, he was finally free of them--thanks to his quick thinking and an even much quicker feet. Tonight, he was not Alexander Matei, the heir of the Matei criminal empire. Tonight, he was Christian, just Christian. He looked young enough to pass as a Grad student, and he had decided to use that as his cover. Alexander was smart enough to stay out of the downtown area, his bodyguards would have found him quickly if he went there, and so he headed to the a nightclub in the art district. No one would recognize him there. He instantly smiled when he walked into the club. The music was pumping, bodies pressed up against each other as he looked down at the crowded dance floor. This was what he’d been missing. He hadn’t really been living for the past few months, and he really needed this night off. “A Jack and Coke please.” He said to the bartender and looked around him while the woman made his drink. To his left, a couple were animatedly speaking to each other, and to his right, sat a pretty brunette nursing her drink. Judging by the look on her face, she was in dire need of conversation. Intrigued, he turned a little and asked, “What’s a pretty girl like you doing here all alone?” He didn’t want to seem rude, so he offered his right hand and introduced himself. “I’m Christian... And you are?”
