she whispered. I let out a small, tired smile. “Then you’d better win.” Because at this point… losing wasn’t just about her anymore. It was about everything I had built.

My heart and mind have become numb to the pain because pain is better than nothing.” “I worry if I forget about you or never cull your image in my head. You will be gone forever.” Martina was openly crying now. Her grip on my arm tightened while her whole body shook with emotions. “Marcus…” “I did not say that to make you feel guilty, love.

Life is and will always be meaningless without you.”

"You win by sinking all your balls before your opponent can do the same. There's only one way to win. But there are several ways to lose. You can sink his last ball accidentally.

First it was Ruby, and a year later, it’s Aal” I whispered. “In a year when i almost lost Maria and Mabel, in a year that i had lost you and Aal and Diane. In a year where i lost my grandmother and the sobriety i worked so hard for. This past year, when i lost all the meaning to life and will to live. And now it feels like my whole world is crashing beneath my feet and i can do nothing, Jade” I said, looking through the door to Jacqueline who was seated in the hall.

Was she saying it was his fault? Charles' anger faded away. He honestly had no idea that his little wife was living in such hardship. He bent down, took out his wallet from the bedside table, then pulled out a credit card while asking her, “Gambling is a game of both winning and losing. Are you not afraid that losing will worsen your already difficult life?” Maria, however, had great confidence, so she proudly smiled. “Ha-ha, you may not know, but I never lose when gambling on car racing! Except for the luxury car game, I have never lost in any other game.”

"Marcus, what are you actually asking." "I'm asking if you know what you have," he said. "Because from the outside it looks like you might not, and from the outside it also looks like he might not, and I've watched him lose things because he didn't know what he had until they were gone and I'd rather not watch that again."

Instead, the atmosphere was filled with that dull, collective irritation that came with a bad game.

“You always loved to speak your mind. You always enjoyed putting everyone at their place. You’ve enjoyed insulting me all those years.” Marcus and Roman kept on talking but nothing sank in. I was lost realizing that I just lost my baby. I only got one chance of having a child and I lost it. I couldn’t feel anything. It was like I was trapped in a black hole.

She gasped quickly because of the hotness of the victual, “a certain game played in the old days. You drop marbles in a certain direction in holes against your opponent. The one who remains with marbles to play wins the round. The holes are eight, parallel to each other making sixteen, and two large at each end. The one at your left is your home as a player.
