House Of Cards Novels & Stories

While she was puzzled, Thomas answered, “No problem, we bet $10,000,000. Open the cards.” Emma took a deep breath, and she prayed that she could get some big cards. After all, this round was worth $10,000,000. She could not lose! “God bless us.” Emma secretly prayed while opening her three cards, including Two of Clubs, Eight of Clubs, and Ten of Hearts. These three cards were not related at all! It was neither flush nor straight. It was not even three of a kind. The cards were single! The problem was that the largest card was Ten of Hearts, which was considered quite small in the single cards.

Then he added, “I play blackjack, too. And add all my card winnings, well, maybe half of that was used to build that house.” I stared at him in disbelief. “Seriously?” He gave me a side glance and then he nodded. “Yeah.” “What? You’re smart enough to count cards?” It wasn’t a question. I didn’t expect him to be smart at all. When he didn’t answer, I asked, “Seriously?” He grinned at me. “Unfortunately, that information is classified.” He is. Nicholas Atkins must be dead smart to be able to count cards and actually bring home enough money to build a house as classy as the one he has.

Since then the problem had only gotten worse. Dad had to move all the unnecessary stuffs to the garage when the house could no longer take the load. Now, our garage was fillled floor to ceiling with stuffs. Stacks of plastic bins, filled with old papers and receipts and clothes we no longer used and toys and tangled jewelry and journals and Christmas decorations and old candy bar wrappers and expired makeup and empty shampoo bottles and broken mug pieces in Ziploc bags.

"Of course, sir. I’ll just pretend I stepped out. You can go in, but be careful. There are cameras inside." I gave her the password for the card, watching as she scurried away, no doubt already dreaming of the money. But I hadn’t activated the card yet, so for now, it was useless. I would only let her have it once I had found Astrid. I took out my gun again, slipping inside the house. The door closed behind me, and I glanced around. The house was massive, every corner filled with shadows and secrets. The cameras blinked from the walls, but I didn’t care. There was too much at stake for me.

I dropped Jamie down whose tiny little feet chased after mine softly as we walked to the position where Archie and Tristan sat. They were playing cards, definitely Archie teaching my son how to gamble since he believed Tristan had an unusual luck which was in all honesty true as Tristan was too lucky for his own good. “Three pairs.” Archie said as he dropped his card while Tristan frowned as Archie cheered before I watched a smirk appeared on my son’s face. “A royal flush.” Tristan said as he dropped the cards resulting in Archie’s smile dropping as he stared at the cards. “I know you cheated you little cheat.” Archie said as he pointed at my son who raised his hands.

Tools are neatly organized on the pegboard walls, and shelves are lined with paint cans and gardening supplies. Stepping out into the quiet, I make my way into the house, the air of the familiar space wrapping around me like a well-worn cloak. The grand foyer greets me with its marble floors and sweeping staircase, adorned with ornate railings and intricate carvings. Chandeliers hang from the ceiling, casting a warm glow over the opulent surroundings. I ascend the stairs to my room, the carpet beneath my feet plush and comforting. Upon entering, my lovely cat Fiona scampers over, and I bend down to give her an affectionate kiss. Straightening up, I peel off my clothes, a heap of fabric formi

My heart raced, and I paled; they were coming this way. “Please, Otis, I don’t understand! I—” “Listen to me! You are Cressida Cardinal, and you are a magic wielder. The people invading Cardinal City are not your allies. If they find you here, you will die! Now run!” I could feel hot tears streaming down my face, as the explosion shattered the library wall. The sound was deafening, and I could see huge chunks of stone flying in every direction, hitting the shelves and the books, making them fall. The pages of books floated down and burned as the broken oil lamps fed the fire, filling the air with smoke, and making it difficult to breathe. I had to cover my mouth and nose with a piece of clot

Somehow they had disabled the alarms as the residence remained mostly dark and quiet. Spot lights and motion detectors lined the house as well as cameras that left not one blind spot on the entire property. Glen kissed his son knowing it would likely be for the last time. “Listen to your Mamma, Jaxsen. Be a good boy. Remember your daddy will always love you.” He kissed Sara, told her he loved her, checked the magazines for his nine millimeter pistols and slunk out of his bedroom. Once Glen was out of sight, Sara turned and with a single spoken command, the wall opened revealing the panic room. Gun fire erupted from the living room causing Jaxsen to scream at the suddenness.

Paul said again and I tried crawling towards the stairs. I had a good memory so if I just crawled straight ahead I would be heading up the stairs and that was what I needed to do,he could say all the garbage he wanted to go upstairs. "They meant nothing to me, it was just a game and none of your family members were killed except for the old lady". Paul said as I heard the floor crack,he was coming towards me. He didn't know how to be quiet,this old house was really not the best place to hide.
