Chapter 6 - chapter 6:

After the tense meeting with her father, Ivy slips away to dig deeper. She's suspicious that Lucian might be more than just a CEO, and the Levi incident proved it.

Got it! Here's the revised version of the *Charity Gala scene*:

---

*Scene: Charity Gala at the Bellmore Estate – 8:26 PM*

The ballroom glowed under golden chandeliers. Waiters moved with silent grace, refilling champagne flutes and offering canapés. The charity gala was in full swing, raising funds for international orphan relief.

Lucian Reign arrived late, commanding attention as he entered in a classic tailored black tuxedo, silk lapels sharp as his stare. Eyes followed him, whispers trailed. He offered polite nods, standing tall among dignitaries and aristocrats, the very image of elegance and power.

Across the room, hidden behind a group of donors, stood Ivy Blackwood. Dressed in a deep navy gown, sleek and simple, with her hair loose and wavy, she held a half-empty glass of wine, eyes never leaving Lucian.

She wasn't here to socialize. She came for one thing: to observe. To know To read him.

Her plan was simple—to know who Lucian reign really was

She had mentioned it to her father long time ago about her suspicion that Lucian reign might actually be the new mafia boss of crimson reign but her father shrugged and said it's not possible that u had to be at least 40 and above to be able to handle the Mafia life amd with the smooth running of crimson reign ( the Mafia gang) there was no way a young man of 21 years would be able to pull this off

Although what her father said made sense ivy still decided to see for her self after all seeing is believing so she decided to go for the charity gala holding this weekend as Lucian reign was going to be there as one of the guest of honour

*Lucian's eyes narrow.* He steps toward the door, calm but predatory. Ivy quickly pulls out her compact mirror, angles it slightly—he's ten feet away. No exit behind her. Thinking fast, she drops her bracelet to the floor and steps back.

Lucian pushes the door open.

*Lucian:* "Lost, are we?"

Ivy straightens, already in character. Her tone is light, almost amused.

*Ivy:* "Only if the bar relocated to this hallway."

Lucian's gaze sweeps over her. Sharp. Calculating. Familiar.

*Lucian:* "You weren't here earlier."

*Ivy (smirking):* "Neither were you, but here we are."

The tension crackles. For a moment, he just watches her. Then—

*Lucian:* "Name?"

*Ivy (shrugs):* "Isn't it more fun if I don't tell?"

Lucian smiles slowly. Not friendly. Dangerous.

*Lucian:* "You're lucky I'm in a good mood tonight."

He steps aside, allowing her to pass. She walks past him confidently- after grinning at him but inside her body was trembling 😱😜

Got it! Here's the dance scene leading into Ivy planting the bug and the fallout:

---

*INT. LUXURIOUS BALLROOM — NIGHT*

Soft chandeliers cast warm glows over swirling couples. Ivy, dressed in an elegant black gown, blends perfectly with the elite crowd. Her eyes scan the room until they lock on Lucian—commanding, sharp, a predator in a tailored suit.

He approaches, an unreadable smile on his lips.

*Lucian:* "May I have this dance?"

Without hesitation, Ivy places her hand in his. The music swells, bodies moving in perfect rhythm. Their dance is electric—every step a calculated move, every glance a silent challenge.

Lucian looked into her eyes through the mask she wore her eyes baby blue flickered with something. Something dangerous but he could not quite catch it as it flashed pass really quick who was this girl he muttered to him self

As they glide across the floor, Ivy's hand slips into his jacket pocket, fingers deftly working to plant the tiny bug device onto his phone clipped inside.

Lucian's eyes flicker with suspicion for a split second but he lets the dance continue.

The music fades out.

---

*INT. LUCIAN'S OFFICE — LATER*

Lucian's phone buzzes. His eyes narrow as he examines the device.

Suddenly, red lights flash.

*Voice over PA:* "Alert. Breach detected on Sublevel 3. Full lockdown initiated."

Lucian slams his fist on the desk, fury burning behind his calm exterior.

Hahaha 😂 she caught him
