Andrew’s POV I stepped into the club, and the air hit me like a punch to the chest—smoke, alcohol, blood, and panic. It was a f*****g mess. Chairs broken. Lights flickering. The floor glittered with shattered glass, and blood streaks trailed off like they were trying to tell a story I didn’t want to hear. I stormed to the bar, catching the arm of the only person still around—some shaky bartender picking up debris. “What happened here?” I snapped. The guy looked up, eyes wide. “G-gangs. Two gangs started fighting—guns, chaos, people screaming. It was crazy.” My chest tightened instantly. Katherine. She was here. My hand flew to my phone. No messages. I called her. Straight to voicemail. Again. Switched off. “Fuck.” I cursed, kicking the nearest stool across the room. “f**k!”
