The Mafia King's Unknown Doctor Wife novel Chapter 290

"Come on, a black dress like this could be used for some fancy events, not just clubbing," Aria had begged until Elena had broken down and let her roommate buy her the dress.

That first night at the club was fun. But soon, Aria was getting hit on by men and women. They were buying Aria drinks, complimenting her clothes, and just generally trying to get her attention.

Elena quickly felt like an accessory. And just like that, the music had gotten too loud, the lights felt too bright, and Elena had come up with an excuse to go home early.

But being here with Max was different. Elena couldn't even make out his eyes but she knew they never left her. And she could tell by the way he held her steady on the dance floor, he wouldn't ditch her.

"I'm gonna go get us some drinks," Elena said.

"Be careful," Max warned.

Elena must've stumbled twelve times on the very short walk to the bar, but she was proud she made it there herself. Maybe the next time they went here, she'd learn to navigate the temporary blindness better.

"Two martinis," Elena said.

"I'll put it on your boyfriend's table," the bartender said. "These for him? Cuz I should cut you off if you're walking around this badly."

"I'm blind," Elena explained.

"Shit, sorry. Here, a martini for your boy," he placed the glass firmly in Elena's open hand, "and a house special for you, on the house—to make up for my rudeness." He placed the second glass in Elena's other hand, this time tapping it twice.

His hand lingered on hers for an odd moment.

Elena quickly returned to Max and gave him his drink.

"What did you get yourself?" Max asked.

"House special," Elena replied. Since she couldn't exactly watch her drink, she decided to down it in one go. "Now let's get back to dancing!"

It was only thirty minutes later that Elena realized she may have made a mistake. There was an artificial warmth growing in her gut.

"Max," Elena whispered. "We need to go home. I think I got drugged."

No sooner had Elena said the words than Max was sweeping her off her feet. The world was spinning. One second she was still on the dance floor and now she was in Max's car.

"Do you know what you were drugged with?" Max asked, concerned.
