Omaha, Nebraska Jolene Angeles set her battered leather backpack down on the table with a sigh, took a giant slug of her Margarita and tried to look like she was not completely freaking out. She was sure that she was failing miserably, of course. Almost one full year of perfecting a poker face hadn’t let her down, but she knew that her shaking hands and shaking voice were giving her away. The tall, tattooed, gray-haired woman behind the bar had levelled her with A Knowing Look, after all, and Jo had felt transparent under the older woman’s steady blue gaze.

“You know the drill. If you feel anything weird—light, sound, taste—call it. Even if it feels ‘fine.’ Especially if it feels fine.” “Got it,” I said. Dante hovered by the doorway. Jax leaned against the wall, within sprinting distance. Bash sat in a folding chair in the corner, expression hollow. “Ready?” Niko asked. “Hit it,” I said. He loaded the demo. The screen filled with a stylized interface—friendly colors, sliders, “wellness” language. Underneath, the code pulsed. GODMODE_LITE: INITIALIZING… ANCHOR_EMULATION: ACTIVE.

The white-haired Gambling King's final hand was fully determined. Spades 6, 9, 4, ace, along with the Dragon Eye card, the 10 of spades, forming an ace-high spade flush. Just one notch higher than Yasuo's King-high spade flush. "Revealing the cards now? Feeling a bit impatient, huh?" Alexander lightly caressed the face-down hole cards, giving a faint smile to the four Gambling Kings.

I felt myself falling, but they caught me, holding me up with a cruel grip. I tried to fight back, but my body betrayed me. My limbs felt like lead, and my vision spun. A sharp pain seared through my side, and I knew I was in trouble. My wolf, Nyx growled weakly as I bit on my lower lip. “You bastard. I’d never be able to submit to you. You are not my mate, I refuse to accept you” I say in pain feigning confidence. Blake is a rogue who has been trying to persuade me to get involved with him for months now.

He grunted, his hand grabbing my neck the next instance. "I have no idea… He just crawled out of a book." I said as his grip on my neck tightened. His dreadlocks began to rise; the couple of rings attached to each hair began to glow. The chirping of birds ceased at once; they had all fled after feeling the intense, sinister aura erupting from him. "Damian?" "Don't call me that…" He suddenly withdraws; he walks towards the sea once more, holding out his left hand, which keeps burning.

and My hand bled from all the continuous hammering. I even gave him the prettier one and wore the other around my neck. Despite that, he threw it away without even bothering to look at it. He held on to the latest Lego set that Leia had given him and said with disdain, “Mom, don’t give me such worthless things anymore.” I stared at the discarded necklace in grief. But all I could do was smile awkwardly and nod in agreement. After all that, he still wanted to snatch my necklace from Lucas? Seeing my refusal to help him, he started crying.

Jimmy's hawk-like eyes were exceptional in spotting cheaters and chip-swappers, which got him the nickname "Hawk." "Nothing worth your time, boss. We had some minor problems with the new slot machines in the high limits floor. They're defective. Pam already sent a technician to fix them. Oh, and just a couple of nerds who were counting cards at the blackjack table. Roman's on his way to detain them." Eli snorted derisively as he studied the screens. "Fucking nerds. Think they're too smart to get away with anything. Tell Roman to call me when he shakes them up. I need some entertainment."

I turn to my one escape: gambling. In my past, I experienced heartbreak, a friendship heartbreak. Four years ago, the day after high school graduation, I entered a casino and discovered my love for baccarat and blackjack. I prefer blackjack because I compete against the dealer, not other players, making it strategic. The game and its strategy become a healing outlet for me. With three years of experience, I played with high strategic thinkers, involved in a business in another city. A motherly colleague connected me with a wealthy wine family in Naples, where I became their financial analyst, working in their residence.

This life… still feels unreal. Ethan didn’t stop there. When they reached the counter, he didn’t step forward. He didn’t take the card. Instead—he let her handle it. “Use it,” he said simply from where he sat at the lounge, relaxed, composed, as if this was nothing. As if this was normal. Belle froze. The black card in her hand suddenly felt heavier than all the bags she carried combined. Her fingers tightened around it as she approached the counter, her steps hesitant. A thin sheen of sweat formed on her forehead despite the cool air inside the boutique.
