Queen's Gambit Novels & Stories

Brandon lowered his head, pressing his lips against the warm skin behind Robin’s ear, his voice loud enough to echo in the private box: "The necklace is fifty million, Robin. But the queen wearing it is priceless." Up on the balcony, framed by diamonds and draped in emerald fire, Robin rested her hand over Brandon’s forearm, looking down at the ruined, terrified faces of Dane and Nicole below with a chilling, victorious smile.

How could she be making the same mistake twice? Reaching for the chess board, my left hand brushed her thighs as my right fingers continued to fuck her. She moaned as I took her knight. “That's an inappropriate reaction.” “Fuck you, Colt.” She arched into me, pulling my fingers further in. “I really hope you do.” She smiled at this. “Your turn baby.” I murmured in her ear. She barely glanced at the board before moving her bishop right into the heart of my position, cutting off my queen’s escape and opening a clear diagonal towards my king.

He faced Alessandro, "Cazzo Alessandro, I can't do this anymore. I will bring her back after. Promise." Alessandro grunted, "Fine Laila you win." I grinned claiming my victory. "Señorita come, we will accomplish all of my fantasies," Alessio said with enthusiasm and grabbed my hand. I caressed his chest and kissed his cheek. "Sorry guapo pero, you are my pawn in this game of chess with Alessandro. Probably someone could fulfill those fantasies but not me. In another life perhaps?" He grunted and was utterly flabbergasted, "I was willing to put my life on the line." I chuckled, "I'm sorry. Get another scotch to calm down si?" Hinting at his bulge.

I knew this was my stage. On the eve of the bidding, the lights in his study burned all night. I could picture Ethan and his team combing through the proposal, tense with focus. In my own room, I sat by the window, city lights glittering in the distance, my tablet displaying a sophisticated financial model and a meticulously simulated pricing plan I had refined countless times. My finger tapped the final confirmation on the screen. “Good night, Ethan Caldwell,” I whispered toward the empire he ruled, lips curling in a frosty smile. “And good luck.”

Leaned in with the slow patience of a man who already knew the ending. "When will you learn, son? You don't sacrifice your queen without a clear shot at the king." He took Eli's queen and replaced it with his black bishop. "What will you do when my rook takes your pawn and leaves your king open to my queen?" "I'll take your bishop with the pawn." "Yes. And then what?" Eli said nothing. Godric took a long drag of his Cuban. "That is called Zugzwang. Every move you make weakens your position. You have no offensive ground left. You can only run and try to survive to the bitter end."

"And I'll be burning this place down with you in it." Salvatore's eyebrows arched up in surprise as he listened intently to the conversation between Domemico and Kyra. Despite being a quiet participant, his eyes darted back and forth between the two, trying to catch every word. Guardiola's expression hardened, his humor disappearing quickly, "All your threats are pointless if you consider all odds are against you. I'll give you some advice, little girl, mind whose toes you step on. " "Care for a wager, Mr. Guardiola?" She pushed herself up, stood at attention, and bowed. "I'll be seeing you soon, sir. Try not to shoot me in the back."

Inside was a chessboard. Every piece was set. Except for the queen. She was missing. A folded note lay beside it: "You forgot who taught you how to play" Elena stared at the board, fury rising in her throat. She crushed the note in her fist. “He wants to remind me I was never the queen”, Damien stepped beside her. “He just made his biggest mistake”, Elena nodded, eyes burning with resolve. “Let’s show him... the queen never needed permission to move”, The board was set.

"Deal." "No!" Gwen cried out, giving me a look of horror. "Sage, what are you doing? Don't you know you're challenging a conniving vixen? You will surely lose!" "Gosh, thanks for that compliment, bitch," Primrose retorted, flipping her hair. "But it's a deal between me and Miss Crochet here. You got nothing to do with it."

Nor did she know how obsessed Jacob was with having an heir. When I didn't show signs of pregnancy after six months, he began taking out his frustration on me, tormenting me day and night. Only after I used a secret technique to conceive and gave birth to Tristan, securing the wolf clan's claim to power, did Jacob finally relent. I offered Bella a calm smile. "You needn't worry about me, dear sister. Since I've chosen my husband, I'll live with my decision without regret." "What's there to be proud of? You're marrying a penniless nobody!" Infuriated by my composure, Bella slammed the table, scattering the pastries across the floor. "I'll be the first one to get pregnant. My child will defini
