Don, I'm Not Your Bet Chapter 10
Lorenzo's POVWhen he woke again, he was in a hospital room.Julia, Kevin, and the others were all gathered around the bed.Every one of them had red-rimmed eyes."Lorenzo...""Our money. All of it. Gone."Julia sobbed, choking out the words between breaths.After Lorenzo left that day, no one dared make the call. In the end, Julia made the decision.She bet on the two favorites everyone agreed on.One got over eight million. The other, over seven. Nearly sixteen million combined. The race ended, and every cent was lost.One ran out of steam the whole way. The other barely scraped into third. Nowhere near the payout.And the dark horse Lorenzo had pointed to, the one nobody believed in, was bought by a random bettor from Chicago for thirty thousand.It crossed the finish line first, odds skyrocketing to astronomical heights. The payout was close to a hundred million.Julia covered her face."I'm sorry. I made the call on those two. We should have listened to you."Lorenzo stared at the

Lorenzo's POVInside the grand banquet hall of the upscale wedding hotel.The wedding march swelled, solemn and majestic.At the end of the white carpet, Ricardo stood in his suit, straight as a pine.Seraphina, in white lace, walked slowly toward him like a goddess descending.The priest read the vows with feeling:"Seraphina, do you take Ricardo to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do you part?"Seraphina had just opened her mouth—"BANG!"The heavy doors of the banquet hall were slammed open from the outside."I object!"Lorenzo stood in the doorway, gasping for breath.His eyes were blood red, fixed on the two figures on the red carpet.He screamed it out, his voice echoing through the vast hall.The whole room erupted.Guests turned, whispering.Lorenzo ignored every stare and strode down the carpet, straight to Ricardo.He loc

Lorenzo's POVSaratoga. The international racetrack.This was the biggest horse racing event the Americas had seen in a decade. For gamblers, it was just as rare.By the time Lorenzo and his group arrived, the venue was already packed.The favorites tipped by the experts had odds soaring to astronomical heights.Every bet could mean overnight fortune. Or total ruin.Dante stood in front of the racing board, studying it for ages. "This one's got promise. Stable form, beautiful track record. Over fifty percent chance of winning."Julia crouched beside him, finger tapping the horse's profile. "Bet amount?""Six million."But Lorenzo was staring down at his phone.Selena, a friend he'd met through horse racing, had also been invited by Seraphina to today's wedding.But if he wasn't there, how could the wedding go on?"Lorenzo, come look at this." Kevin waved from a distance."This one's stronger than Dante's pick, I swear. Explosive speed. Look at its past sprint records—""You guys decide

The night before the wedding, I went back to the Gallo family, back to my parents.It was the eve of my marriage, and instead of the panic I'd expected, there was a strange calm.My mother looked at me, eyes slightly red, but smiling more freely than I'd ever seen."Actually, the first time I met Ricardo, I thought he should be my daughter's husband."I blinked, caught off guard."I may be the Donna of the Gallo family, but I'm your mother first. I want you to be happy. Ricardo is attentive. He cares more about you. A mother can see these things."Her voice was soft, her eyes full of warmth."I mentioned once, offhand, that your stomach isn't good. After that, every time he came for dinner, he'd go out of his way to tell the kitchen to go easy on the spice, and that you can't drink cold water.""Lorenzo knew too. But Lorenzo was never that careful.""You saw it all along?" I asked quietly.She tapped my forehead with a smile. "Silly girl. Only you, in the middle of it, couldn't see."M

Lorenzo's POVBack in the room, Lorenzo splashed cold water on his face.He sat on the edge of the bed, restless.He picked up his phone again and dialed the number he knew by heart.Still a busy tone.Every way of reaching her, all blocked.He stared at the red exclamation mark on the screen, and somehow felt even more certain.He thought back to when he and Seraphina were twenty-two. She'd ignored him for three days because he forgot their anniversary. Wouldn't pick up his calls either.Later, he bought her favorite cake from that bakery and waited downstairs at her apartment.She poked her head out the window, eyes red-rimmed.Her mouth said "no," but she still ran down to take it.So what she was doing now was just waiting for him to come back and coax her.He took a deep breath and dialed Ricardo's number.The call connected quickly.Lorenzo opened his mouth, suddenly not knowing what to ask.A few seconds of silence, then he spoke: "Tomorrow, you and Seraphina...""For the sake o

Lorenzo's POVHe shot to his feet, ignoring Julia's stunned cry behind him.He bolted out of the lobby like a madman.Lorenzo didn't even grab a jacket.Just a thin shirt, sprinting out of the hotel lobby.As he ran, he called Seraphina.But all he got was a busy tone.He flagged down a cab with its light on.But the next second, a firm force pressed against the door.Julia squeezed half her body in, hair disheveled, chest heaving:"Lorenzo! Where are you going?!""To the airport!"Lorenzo's eyes were bloodshot. He shoved her hand away."Let go!""Are you insane?!"Julia clung to him desperately."Tomorrow is the race! Everyone's bet their entire fortune! You leave now, what are we supposed to do?!"Behind her came Dante's voice, along with a few other friends."Lorenzo, calm down first.""I don't care!"Lorenzo whipped his head around, eyes threaded with red, voice hoarse."She's getting married!""And the guy is Ricardo! He's our friend, how could he be so shameless!"He was shaking
