I smiled as I nodded. 'Lucius, you no longer have any control over me. All that lavish jewelry… I had already sold every last piece. The money is enough to buy my freedom. As for you? You might not remain free much longer,' I thought. After he left, I pulled a recording pen out from beneath my pillow. Then I handed it to a well-known journalist. … The next day, I dragged my suitcase and headed alone for the airport. Cars streamed past outside the window when a breaking entertainment headline suddenly flashed across the city's largest billboard.

From the shadows… a figure watched. Unseen and alive. Gabriel Valez. Unburnt, unbroken, and unfinished. He lit a cigarette with scorched fingers, watched the grave, and whispered, “Checkmate takes time, Alina. But I’m patient.”

With my voice low and calm, smiling like I have hit the jackpot i mutter the one thing no man wants to hear. "This is a dead mans deal. If you fail to get back here in 72 hours and not a minute later... you won't live to make another bet, you won't be breathing and I will happily inform your 'Daughter' that daddy dearest died while selling her off to the highest bidder." I laugh as his body tenses and he looks like he's visibly going to be sick.

The audio was probably morphed. But that freaking voice. I was ready to give it all up. I didn’t know to calculate the probability. I didn’t know the odds. But Lilith Corp. be damned. Money be damned. I was going on all in. I was going to bet on it all. This was probably my one final chance at saving our family. This was final chance at saving the love of my life. . . . ____

I have a fabulous friend. And if it isn’t obvious by now, the person that I am talking about is Christine Gyamfi. And if you don't know who she is, then read the other book; The Light's Shadow. It's an original book that she wrote herself. I personally didn't read the book, but I'm sure that you will. I mean, why are you reading this then? But that's beside the point. Christine is awesome. She is hilarious, kind, and sweet. The woman also treats everyone around her with respect. She is one of the few people that fuels my faith in humanity.

The Master Gambit Ethan tossed the coin. Not to Victor, but into the darkness of the nearby drainage grate. Victor let out a strangled cry, lunging toward the metal bars of the drain. "No! You fool! That was the only way in!" "The coin was a decoy, Victor," Ethan said, his "calculating" mind finally revealing the trap. "The real key is already in New York. I sent it with Sophia Grant—the version of Sophia that Damian 're-programmed' during the blackout."

However, if I did not go on, I might never retrieve the money I lost previously. Conflicted feelings gripped me. My mind was a mess. During my hesitation, the result of another game was out. I casually glanced at it and widened my eyes. Book Lover had countless chips on the ranking list as shown on my phone screen. He went all in, placing a bet of 5 million dollars on the banker. The banker gained thirteen points while the player gained ten points. Book Lover won 30 million dollars. I fixed my gaze on the phone screen with fierce envy. 30 million dollars was enough to buy two McLarens.

I’m supposed to be picking the right fighter, making sure his hundred grand doesn’t burn—but Knox’s hands are dragging my focus everywhere but the screen. My body is arching, greedy for more. His mouth presses heat into the skin just below my ear, and I can't think anymore. I just act. My finger taps Goliath—the thicker of the two men in the ring—just as his image flashes again. A second later, the screen blinks. Bet placed. Knox just gambled away six figures. Rich people are weird. I would comment on that any other day, but right now, my core is pulsing with a need I don’t know how to contain.

" Audrey shook her head, still looking doubtful about Daniel's invitation. Then the man raised his hand to signal the bodyguard who came with him. The bodyguard carried a bag and took out the chips from inside the bag. The bodyguard arranged the chips on the table. "One billion. I think this is enough for a start," Daniel said. Audrey looked at the pile of chips. It turned out that Daniel had indeed prepared himself to gamble. "Come on, Audrey. When you're with Lando you look so excited, so why with me you seem to lose passion? Is Lando more interesting than me?" Audrey glared at Daniel and he laughed. "You know damn well that's not what I'm about," Audrey said with annoyance.
