Bound to my Enemy novel Chapter 221

Chapter 221: Chapter 221.

By the time I get downstairs, he’s still waiting down stairs.

And the second his eyes land on me.....He freezes and his gaze drags over me once. Then again this time and then.....He exhales sharply, shaking his head like he already knows where this is going.

"Hell no."

I blink.

"What?"

"You are not going out like that," he says flatly.

I frown slightly, looking down at myself like I’m trying to see what the issue is.

"What’s wrong with it?"

"What’s wrong with it?" he repeats, almost like he doesn’t believe I asked that.

"Yes," I say, crossing my arms slightly. "What’s wrong with it?"

He lets out a short, dry laugh.

"If you walk into that place dressed like that," he says, stepping closer, his voice dropping slightly, "I’ll have to remove the eyes of every man that looks at you."

I stare at him for a second then scoff.

"That’s so caveman of you."

He doesn’t even deny it, just keeps looking at me.

"I’m not changing," I add, lifting my chin slightly.

His jaw tightens.

"Elaine....."

"No," I cut him off. "You said ten minutes. I came down in ten minutes. This is what I’m wearing."

We hold eye contact for a second, there’s tension there with both of us refusing to back down. Then I step forward, closing the space between us like it’s nothing and before he can say anything else.....i reach out and tap his chest lightly.

"Let’s go."

I don’t wait for his response as I walk past him toward the door like it’s already decided.

And after a second.....i hear his footsteps behind me.

——

The moment we step out of the car, I already know this is nothing like I expected. The building itself is massive, with a dark exterior and heavy security. The Music so loud I can feel the bass thumping before we even make it inside.

I glance up at it, then at Zane, he doesn’t look fazed, like this is just another normal night for him. Meanwhile....I’m trying not to look too obviously overwhelmed.

"You own this place too?" I ask as we approach.

He glances at me briefly.

"Yes

Of course.Why am I even surprised anymore?

The guards at the entrance immediately straighten when they see him, stepping aside without question.

"Boss."

Zane gives a short nod and keeps walking. I stay close beside him.

The second we enter.....all my senses are assaulted.

Lights, Music and bodies so many bodies, there’s people everywhere. Dancing, drinking and laughing. Moving in ways that make it clear this isn’t some casual little night scene.

The outfits alone nearly make me stop walking. Women in clothing far more daring than mine. Tiny dresses, bare skin, Sky-high heels with Men pressed close, their hands wandering on thier bodies.

Everything feels wild and unfiltered..My eyes widen slightly as I take it all in.

"Wow..."

I can barely hear my own voice over the music. This place is chaos.

I turn my head, trying to process everything at once, when I notice someone wearing even less than I am.

"Okay," I mutter. "I suddenly feel overdressed."

That actually earns me a brief look from Zane.

"Good," he says dryly.

I roll my eyes.

Before I can fully absorb the main floor, Zane’s hand settles firmly at my lower back, guiding me.

"This way."
