As Light and Elly climbed out of the limousine and stared at the luxe but ominous building in front of them, a place that was going to be their lives for the next few years to come, both probably had the same thought spinning through their minds. “How did we even get here?”

For Aiden, the next three days were quite maddening. Not only was he responsible for 10 girls, flying in from various parts of the planet, he also had to ensure that everything was done on time. People management had never really been Aiden’s issue. But this time, he just wanted to get the job done.

How was he ever going to take a return flight and then drive up to pick up the other girls on the same day? For Aiden, time was everything. “I’ll need a bloody drink after this,” he said out quite loud while on the way to the airport, not missing James’s chuckle. “Eyes on the road, James,” Aiden reminded him.

The last leg of his airport runs made Aiden wonder if he should be the one taking a flight out to somewhere. Anywhere. His thoughts were broken by his phone that buzzed softly next to him. He took the call; the conversation was short. “I see. Alright, let me finish this and we’ll talk.” The airport was less than 15 minute away.

Whoever said that the life of an exotic entertainer was just fun and games, they were clearly mistaken. As the ladies at The Golden Circle Adult Lounge settled into their new homes, so began their rigorous training. But then came a Sunday when all the girls were rewarded for their hard work of the week. And it was delightful!

She knew that The Golden Circle had saved her life, and over time would also salvage her reputation. But Harmony had rarely been this unsure of her surroundings. She felt insecure, vulnerable - two things that she rarely ever felt. She knew she had to get out of TGC before it got serious, or deeper. Packing her bags slowly, she wondered if she’d even get out of the gates alive.

With having to explain to Primrose that her surgery was not because of her appearance but that TGC patrons had certain preferences, to gearing up for a firefight, Aiden was sure his day was going to involve a lot of words, something he did not enjoy. However, meeting his friend helped as the two decided to tie up a rather important loose end.

It was a busy evening at The Golden Circle Adult Lounge. Nin was making her debut and Aiden was terrified that something would go wrong. His paranoia of things is what kept him on top of things. But everything seemed fine till his phone rang.

Bella’s voice sounded like she’d seen a dead man when Aiden heard her on the phone. He tried to calm her down but she was seconds away from being hysterical. “I’ll handle it,” is all he said and called their lawyer next, shaking his head. “This never ends.”

After a couple of nights of sheer hedonism, everyone was looking forward to a few quiet days. The holidays were coming up and the mood was upbeat. But life had other plans when a TGC resident went for his morning run.

For a place that was not devoid of secrets and mysteries, one of the biggest ones to hit TGC was the curious death of a patron. But it was no ordinary death. The police suspected foul play and Chyna was caught in the middle.
