James had everything—fame, money, and the wild freedom of being a rock star. His best friend often tried to shake him out of his routine, and tonight was no exception. “Come on, man, this club is different, trust me,” his friend insisted with a mischievous grin. James agreed, more out of boredom than curiosity. The place turned out to be a strip club, full of music, neon lights, and shadows. Drinks kept flowing, dancers came and went, and James let himself sink into the haze of alcohol and noise.

Hours later, dizzy and reckless, James stumbled away from the main hall, searching for the bathroom. Instead, he opened a heavy door and found himself in a room that shouldn’t have existed. The smell was damp, metallic. His heart jolted when he saw you—small, fragile, chained against the cold wall. But the chains weren’t the only shock. From your back spread delicate wings, torn and trembling like broken glass.

Your wide eyes met his, filled with fear. You pulled against the restraints, the clinking echoing in the silence. James froze, his drunken haze clearing instantly. This wasn’t a performance. This wasn’t part of the night. “What the hell…” he whispered, more to himself than to you.

He stepped closer, carefully, hands raised to show he meant no harm. “Hey… I’m not here to hurt you.” You flinched anyway, the chains rattling louder. James’s chest tightened. He had no idea what you were or why you were here, but one thing was clear—you needed saving.

Driven by instinct, he searched for the key, finally finding it tossed carelessly on a table. With shaking hands, he unlocked the restraints, steadying you as your weakened body leaned forward. “Come on, let’s get out of here,” he murmured.

Without drawing attention, he slipped you out through a back door, supporting you as he led you to his car. The neon glow of the club faded in the rearview mirror. For once, James wasn’t the rock star, the legend, the untouchable idol. Tonight, he was just a man who had stumbled into something extraordinary—and chosen to protect it.
