Semua Bab My Best Friend Sold Me to a Casino (Now I Own It): Bab 1 - Bab 9

When I realised that something was wrong and tried to leave, it was already too late."Roxy, it's 50 million dollars! 50 million! I'll never be able to pay back, even if I were to work for the rest of my life!" my best friend, Amber Stone, exclaimed. "But you'll be able to save me! God gave you this crescent moon-shaped birthmark on your stomach so that you could help me pay off my debt!"I gasped as fear gripped my neck, unable to breathe."Did you just sell me off, Amber Stone?" I cried. "We've known each other for more than a decade! You're my best friend! But you sold me off just to pay off your debt of 50 million dollars!"My questions made her back away as she kept shaking her head."No, don't look at me like that. The casino boss is very wealthy. He just has a kink for women with crescent-shaped birthmarks on their bodies, and he'd waive off any gambling debts as long as they can bring him a woman with that birthmark…"Since he has a fetish for women like that, and you hav

Bobby continued, "Other women with crescent moon-shaped birthmarks have also been brought in before, but they didn't know where the birthmark should be located on the person that the boss was trying to find. So they would just randomly tattoo a mark on their bodies and show up."Meanwhile, the boss has already gotten rid of all those people."Amber shuddered hard when she heard that. However, Bobby then added, "You're lucky that this woman's birthmark is exactly where the boss wants it to be."Just wait and see. If she really is the person the boss wants, then your 50-million-dollar-debt won't just be waived off—both you and your friend here will be living like royalty for the rest of your lives."Amber's eyes darted around, her expression suddenly changing.I had a bad feeling about this and opened my mouth with whatever consciousness I had left."I… I am…""Bobby, I'm sorry!"Amber suddenly rushed toward me and dug her sharp nails into my thighs. "Her birthmark is fake! I can

The guests murmured, "What did she just say?""Something about roses?"However, their voices eventually died down as the steady footsteps turned hurried. But by the time the footsteps reached me, I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer.I couldn't see Dad. I also didn't know if he would be able to recognize me anymore.However, this was my last chance."I'm Rosaline Addams…""Everyone, shut up!" Dad roared angrily, and the entire room fell so silent that only their breathing was heard.He was trying to hear what I said. However, someone came running from upstairs."Boss? What's got you so agitated?"This woman is an impostor, just like the others before. It's just that this one's a little smarter than the others, and even managed to tattoo the birthmark right where you wanted it."But don't worry. I've already taught her a lesson on your behalf. But if you still think that it's not enough, I'll carve off her birthmark and stitch it to her face instead."It was Bobby's voice.

Amber seemed to have already forgotten everything she's done to me before. She focused instead on crawling toward me on her hands and knees, only to be kicked back by one of Dad's men at just a glance from him.I watched calmly as she groaned softly in pain, the wounds on her stomach tearing open and staining her clothes red with blood."Amber, we did promise each other that we'd be each other's bridesmaids, but that was because we used to be the best of friends back then."But what did you do? You tricked me into coming to Las Gavas, intending to sell me off to pay for your gambling debts!"I had also begged you to let me go at that time, even saying that I'd pay back the 50 million dollars on your behalf, but do you remember what you did to me? You said that you were scared that I would do the same thing to you, so you slashed my birthmark and forced me to drink that anesthesia! You wanted me dead!"How dare you still have the guts to beg me to save you now, Amber Stone!"Amber

Dad continued, "While your mom was ill, she told me that I had to find you. She wanted to apologize because she should have come with us that day. If she did, then you wouldn't have been abducted that day."She was so deathly worried about you before she left this world. She was so worried that the buyer would torture you and that you'd suffer while living with them."But now, I've brought you back safe and sound, and she can finally rest in peace."Tears blurred my vision. I wiped them away forcefully as I went up to the grave, sobbing softly.I told her everything that had happened over the years, down to the smallest detail—from when the buyers brought me home with them and named me Alexa because they actually wanted a son, to when they really gave birth to their own son and named him Alex while demoting me to a mere maid in the household.Fortunately for me, I knew all along that they weren't my parents and that they'd bought me from the abductors. After becoming an adult, I s
