Xaris Albamus stepped out of the helicopter. The wind from the rotors tugged lightly at his coat as he made his way toward the private entrance of the upscale bar below.
Without wasting a second, Xaris walked into the high-end elevator tucked discreetly beside the bar.
That was where he was supposed to meet the woman he had invested so much money in.
The memory of the previous encounter flashed briefly in his mind.
After spotting Dominick in the bar earlier, Xaris had been forced to leave immediately. Staying even a minute longer would have been reckless. Gridlock had become increasingly dangerous territory for him, especially with certain powerful figures now moving around there.
Yet despite the risk, he had returned.
For two reasons.
First, because he had already poured a significant amount of money into this arrangement.
And second… because he intended to leave this place permanently after tonight.
