Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: All for the Money

Mina walked across the street, her eyes landing on a sleek, neon-lit club in the distance.

Yes, this could be what I'm looking for, she thought, eyeing herself up and down. "Well, I am pretty, I have nice curves... Ignore the tattered look, just for now." She smirked to herself. "If I can't get good work decently, then I don't mind giving out my body—eww, NO! Forget that, I'll just steal! There are probably a ton of rich people in there."

With a shrug of resolve, she crossed the street and approached the entrance. She peeked inside. The place was packed, but this wasn't just any club—it was the club. Only the richest and best-dressed could get in here.

Mina surveyed the scene. Look at them. Glittering mini gowns, heavy makeup, and all that fancy stuff. "Sluts", she muttered under her breath, eyeing one of the girls walking around.

A plan formed in her mind as she saw a woman walking alone. Perfect target. Mina moved swiftly, getting behind her, and wham! A punch to the back of the head knocked the girl out cold.

"I knew those fighting lessons would come in handy," she said to herself, dragging the unconscious woman into a dark alley. She wasted no time. The clothes came off, a quick swap, and there she was—decked out in designer clothes, leaving the girl clad in her rags.

Mina removed the bandage on her head, snatched the girl's purse, applied makeup, and slapped on some gloss. Smacking her lips together, she looked at herself in the reflection of a small mirror. Not bad. A little perfume, a quick brush of the hair... Wow, I almost look like I belong here!.

She looked into the purse in search of any other useful material like money , "ohh she is a broke bitch, not even an ATM card" she saw a mini dagger in the pause so she took it

"This could be real handy".

Her hazel eyes gleamed under the moonlight, her curves accentuated, and her beauty was nothing short of ethereal.

"If only they knew I lived in a dump", she thought, a grin playing on her lips. She wobbled in the heels for a moment—how do these women do this every day?—before gathering herself and heading for the club entrance, leaving the unconscious woman in the alley, still wrapped in ragged clothes.

As she stepped into the club, her feet a little wobbly from the heels, she was immediately struck by the lavishness. Everywhere she looked—gold, expensive decor, flashy lights. She was already eyeing targets, wondering how many wallets she could empty before making her getaway, when a man's hand suddenly gripped her waist from behind.

"Oh no, not this!" she thought, resisting the urge to elbow him in the ribs.

His voice whispered into her ear. "Damn, you're sexy, baby. Where did you come from? I've never seen anyone like you before. That round... fat ass," he smacked her on the backside. Mina's stomach twisted with irritation, but she masked it, her eyes catching the flash of gold rings on his fingers. Jackpot.

She turned, flashing him a smile. "Want to know what else is round?" she purred. The man didn't miss a beat, kissing her cheek and pulling her towards the stairs.

The moment they reached the top floor, the man was already kissing her neck hungrily, his eyes flashing with desire. He was drunk, and Mina couldn't help but feel a small thrill. This is all going according to plan.

They reached the room, and just as his lips came crashing onto hers, she stopped him, pushing him onto the bed with more force than he expected. With a smirk, she pulled a dagger out from her dress, concealing it behind her as she slowly raised it to strike.

But before she could make her move, the door swung open with a bang.

Standing in the doorway was a woman in black, her amber eyes blazing in anger.

She immediately hid the dagger properly.

Is that his wife? Mina thought, her heart racing.

The man, still too drunk to understand the gravity of the situation, sprang up, sensing something was wrong but too confused to fully react.

The woman in black moved forward, her steps slow but purposeful, and she eyed Mina from head to toe as if she were scrutinizing her very soul.

What is she looking for? Mina wondered. A bruise? A scratch? What's her deal?

The woman stopped right in front of Mina, her gaze like fire. "Leave. Now," she commanded.

Mina narrowed her eyes, standing her ground. "Why would I do that?" she challenged, a hint of defiance in her voice.

"I said Get the fuck out of here!!" the dominance that dripped in her voice made Mina rush out.

She held her hand to her heart , "what was that " she asked her self, " why did her voice scare me in that way" , I will head back there and see why she is there.

Mina didn't mind her business forgetting why she gone to the club she slowly made her way up the stairs and upon getting to the room , she they had both disappeared. "But how? They didn't use the stairs".

"What are you looking for", a voice came from behind her , startled she turned immediately.

Raya had stepped into the club , in search of the rogue dragon, she didn't expect him to be laying on the bed with a woman who had deviance written all over her.

As she rushed out of the room raya smirked

"So this is where you hid yourself, bold enough for you to think I won't find you here, infact it's dumb".

The rogue dragon was drunk but it had left his eye with the commanding tone raya has used on Mina.

"Queen of Drakhalia, what brings you here to the mortal realm , it's unheard of" the rogue said staring at her in spite

"Shut the fuck up, You know why I am here and I have no time for small talks , there are humans around , I don't want alert them"

Raya didn't let the rogue respond she burnt him with her Eternal flame and cleaned up with her magic, there were no traces of the rogue or the burns.

She left the room but what she didn't expect was mina coming to peep in.

"What are you looking for?" she asked her , she couldn't understand why this human is meddling, is she part of them and an ally?

She was startled

"Jeez are you some sort of creep?" Mina retorted

"How dare you call me a creep , whereas you are standing here peeping into a room that is clearly not yours " Raya commented as she Stared her in the eye.

"Look I know you are a rich woman but don't fucking underestimate me" Mina spoke as tho she is not living in the dumps and she truly hated the guts this lady before her had.

Raya scanned her dressing, she thought to herself, the human girl was hot, I can't tell if she is a hooker or an innocent fool, but she is very beautiful.

Raya assessed her curves , her body with just her eye alone , she looked up to her face , she definitely looked a bit like she is starving and she had a bruise on her head.

Raya bit her lips slightly.

"Do you want to go somewhere?"
