Novel & Cerita House Of Cards

FIFTY-ONE Ten-year-old Jack in his backyard. An airplane carved a long, white streak through the orange sky. His senses were alive with the smells of barbecue and the apple tree. He heard a scream. It echoed across the yard. It came from inside his house, which towered above him, its mass a jagged silhouette against the sunset. The back door opened. He remembered the sound of it crashing against the wall. Kimba, the family cat, ran ahead of his father’s feet and scuttled under the stairs. His dad was a hulking, whiskered mammoth lurching and wheezing as he ran.

My headstrong bravery I had fell as the cruel reality of Grandmama hit me. Grandmama started up the stairs to the left and I followed. She walked up to the fifth floor gradually, with her black dress dragging along the stairs behind her. All the doors were wooden with golden handles, and the walls were made of plaster. The ground was made by wooden floor boards, and the ceiling was made of some black material. I could tell she was wearing high heels from the "clunks" they made every time she stepped. The hallways were long and had many turns. It could almost be considered a maze.

She was utterly amused by that. He let go of her and took a step further into the house and she followed him. He led her up the stairs and opened the door to a room which was obviously a bedroom with a bed that was as big as the one he had back in Rayborne. "The house is the secret, and..." He trailed off as he went over to the set of drawers Ava just noticed that was held up beside the headboard. He opened a drawer and took out a box and turned back to Ava who still stood at the door way. She felt rooted there, though she shouldn't be. She just suddenly felt a part of her awakening to things.

I should’ve told everyone what a fucking prize I won the second I realized it. I always lost at the house of cards game. I always realized I was about to hit the table too damn late.

Yes, it's his house, his money, not OURS, I'm his wife on paper alone, a mere transaction, technically I was bought, ha! But this library, it's my usual space. I'm always here, reading, watching something on my laptop, whatever, painting sometimes, but I'm mostly here…alone. Oh, how I miss my art studio, it's nothing compared to all the space I have here, but at least it's MINE, even though Liam paid off the loan I took out to get that place. Ugh, this is driving me crazy! Liam, Liam, Liam Caruso! I look at the clueless man, he's seriously concentrated on his Stephen King book, 'Pet Sematary'. He has glasses on, and it looks good on him, the Liam Caruso effect.

“Player Two had joined the game!” What the fuck? I frowned, looking around in confusion about what was going on. It looked like I was in some castle, given the stone walls. Which for a dream isn’t too weird. No weird is that there was a gigantic queen of hearts playing card, holding an equally giant flamingo like a croquet mallet hitting a brightly colored hedgehog curled into a ball.

"I said, give me the cards, Adrian." The patriarch’s final demand dropped like an executioner’s axe into the suffocating silence of the grand living room. Adrian’s breath rattled in his chest, his face completely pale as his fingers convulsed around the plastic. With a sudden, violent wrench of his arm, Mr. Hawthorne seized the black titanium cards directly from his son’s grip, tossing them onto table where they landed with a heavy, metallic clink right next to the one I had rejected.

, Dexter finished his drink and leave the groaning man to himself. Vendetta operates with the card system. Four head houses, the Spades, the Aces, the Diamonds and the Hearts. Each house had their Queen, King and Jack. These were the power houses of each house and handled important decisions in each house, each Queen, King and Jack having seconds that should anything happen, the house continues running and under each of them are their own members, and the remaining ten are the limbs and arms of each head house but on special occasions some people from these ten houses gets promoted into the house of Queen, King or Jack while the head of these houses gets a shot at rulling a head house.

I said and grabbed my pencil and went back to the sketch I was drawing for class. “I swear, you won’t regret it, Mark throws the best parties around campus and that’s why many people like him.” “Are you talking about Mark Robinsons? Douche of the year who uses girls and changes them on a weekly basis? That Mark?” Keith waved his hand dismissively, “does it matter?”

Gu Yihai's face changed, alarmed. "What's wrong?" Qu Yan and others couldn't help but look at Gu Yihai. Only he knew gambling best among these people.
