Some cards are named with King, Muse, Musketeer, Shadow, Rock, and Philosopher. She placed the King card on her left while putting the Muse card at the King's opposite. Under the King, she placed one Musketeer cards while she placed two under the Muse. She also placed a Shadow in between the King and the Muse and put the Philosophers below that card. She still has five more cards, one Shadow, and four Rocks. “It is yet to begin, and so these cards are already moving,” she told herself. She placed the King beside the Shadow and did the same with the Muse.

"Oh, he told me to keep it AND gave me his credit card" Instead, I typed: Me: It's complicated. Need to tell you in person. Lillian: OMG you're killing me! Fine, lunch tomorrow? I need ALL the details! Me: Deal. I set my phone aside and looked at the black card again. The only marking on it was the name of an exclusive bank and "Aiden Carter" embossed in raised letters that matched the card's matte black finish. What game was Aiden Carter playing? And more importantly, why did I feel like I was losing even though I didn't understand the rules?

I snipped the rose cleanly at the head, allowing the bloom to fall onto the table with a dull thud. “Good,” I replied. “Those cards are for family members only. If outsiders use them, they lose their hands.” Luca instinctively pulled his hands into his sleeves.

The loud buzz quieted down to hushed whispers, and I went to stand in front of my car before fumbling with the lock. I couldn’t look behind me, but I could tell that everyone was picking through all the sides where their eyes could pass through. I got a weird feeling of nostalgia but shoved it to the back of my mind. Carefully, I pulled the locker open, and just like Henry had said, two cards were placed right on top of my things. “Black Dread and Wafering.”

Like time itself was chasing us, and it was gaining on us. “Come here.” She said, beckoning me with her finger. I walked towards her, my chest tightening with every step. She reached into the pouch around her neck and pulled something out. Black cards. Three of them. She placed them onto the table, lined up and next to each other. “They are unlimited,” She causally informed. “Unlimited as in….?” My brows furrowed. I knew what unlimited meant. I just wanted some clarity.

He was a key piece, one that needed to be carefully maneuvered, or removed altogether. The figure watched as the man’s car disappeared around a corner, then turned away from the window, moving to a desk cluttered with documents, maps, and a laptop. They sat down and began typing, their fingers moving swiftly over the keys. Each keystroke was a calculated move in the intricate chess game they were playing—a game where every player was a potential pawn or a threat.

‎And within seconds—He was gone. ‎I stood there. ‎Still. ‎The sound of passing cars returned. ‎The heat settled back against my skin. ‎But something had shifted. ‎Slowly, I looked down at my hands. ‎Cash in one. ‎A card in the other. ‎For a moment, I simply stared. ‎No one had ever refused me before. ‎Not like that. ‎Especially not money. ‎I lifted the card slightly, bringing it closer. ‎Clean. ‎Simple.

I asked quietly. “Because it is,” Dante answered immediately. Silvio ignored him, “Open it.” I slowly pulled out the card inside, then blinked and then blinked again. It was matte black with platinum lettering embossed across the front with no spending limit. My stomach dropped instantly, “Silvio,” I whispered in horror. Claire leaned over excitedly, “Oh my God, is that the Centurion card?” Silvio took a sip of his coffee calmly, “Among other things.”

“Seriously, Angie. What is it? You’re freaking me out. This is the first time you’ve ever come to my place of work. Did you see anything?” Angie shakes her head. “I just wanted to talk to you.” My eyes meet hers, and I know she’s not being straight with me. “Angie…” She sighs and reaches into her bag, bringing out the deck of tarot cards she showed me a few weeks ago. She spreads them across the counter and says, “Touch the cards that draw you.” “That is what me?” I echoed, confused. “Close your eyes,” she orders, and reach for the cards that draw you in. You’ll be able to feel it.”

I laughed to myself, it looks like Red has a boy version ah. There was what the Admiral and Admin took out of their pocket then that one one was given to us. It's a small card, our cards are different colors. "That's what you're going to use to open this door."
