vengeance & vanilla - the moment we met was a lie: The Alternative Series - Volume 11

The colorful staff of a hedonistic club attends to the unconventional and sometimes humorous needs of their members while navigating their own friendships, rivalries and romances in this contemporary series.

Random negotiates Babe's request while Trip is off in Italy setting his grand plan into motion. His time away with Geneva inspires the concept of scenario auctions. Trip's concept winds up being pivotal to Hannah and Cade, who parlay the upcoming auctions into securing her status with the company.

The Italy trip has another unforeseen side effect, providing Black the means to sort out that one loose end of his relationship with Sam. This instrument comes at a time when the couple is phasing through a normal-life milestone of settling into their private home over the holiday season.

On the heels of a successful first scenario auction, Random ushers in the new year by introducing an illustrious party theme to the Mercer Estate. He progresses his relationship with a happily committed Becky while striking a balance with Quinn. Upon finding out that Quinn is still in the picture, the pull of Becky’s own insecurities grows stronger than Random’s hold on her.

After three months of putting the lifestyle on hold, Black and Sam are both eager to dive back in. Just before the scene, he makes his decision on how to tie up that one loose end of their relationship, ultimately defining their future.

Volume 11 puts Trip and Babe on solid footing individually while Hannah’s reciprocal arrangement with Cade brings out a new side in her. Black’s approach to both the business and his relationship is juxtaposed with Random’s, highlighting their many differences and one dominant similarity.

It’s never too dark and never too light in this forward-moving series of desires, mind games, debauchery and the option to live an offbeat The Alternative.
