The Hundredth Prank, A Fatal Bet Novels & Stories

Lily stated nonchalantly, stretching forth her hand, palm up. I stared at her palm as though mesmerized. This had all started as a prank and now it was snowballing out of proportions. Where would I get $20,000? This was all my fault I thought. I had started these outrageous dares and just three weeks ago, Mandy Peters had almost sold her Aston Martin to pay up. She had finally carried out the dare; walked right up to the Dean and given him a hot slap in full view of an entire body of students. Then of course she had had to pretend to be having a seizure to keep from getting expelled.

The trouble level of this passing preliminary is… great. Reward acquired: 500 judgment focuses Opened situation: Fatal Joke Lethal Joke: appropriate for multi-target authorize situations. Members' jokes can become reality. Express "take a hike," and he will truly kick the bucket. - "This situation is somewhat fascinating." Jack gestured marginally and counted the crown jewels of war. He was very fulfilled, however when he took a gander at the arbitrary prize this time, it was just 85 US dollars. "A compensation of many thousands, and you don't for even a moment give me 100 dollars?"

She'd frozen just outside the door, their words cutting through her like knives. "I can't believe Gray actually pulled it off. Three months. That's gotta be a record." "Told you he could do it. Shayla Hale, the ice queen who turned him down. He said he'd make her fall, and he did." "Think he'll actually take the cruise ship?" "Hell yeah. That bet was solid gold. Best idea we ever had." Bet. The word echoed in her mind, louder than her heartbeat. He'd made a bet. On her.

“She gave me a small bottle with some liquid and told me to pour just a little on your drinks. Said it was a prank, and she would pay me a hundred thousand dollars.” A hundred thousand dollars. That’s what I was worth? Pretty disappointing. But I guess that number would mean something for an average person. I release him slowly, stepping back, my chest rising and falling as everything begins to shift into place. I look back at Trent, and he looks like he is about to pee himself. Pretty pathetic for a man of his size. “Please,” he says. “That’s all I know. I swear. If I knew anything else, I would tell you.”

Although quite a lot of people fawned on foreigners, how many of them could accept getting pointed at while being called a monkey? Harvey sucked in a deep breath, his expression ice cold. He glared coldly at George and replied, “Fine then, we’re at this point anyway. If you want a bet, you’ll get it.” “But do you dare to raise the stakes?” “If I can’t get six hundred and twenty-five million, I’ll die.” “However, if I can, you’ll be the dead one!” Boom! Everyone was utterly shocked by Harvey’s words. Nobody thought that Harvey would be this ruthless. He was playing with his life!

"How many times do I have to tell you, they're your parents? Why won't you even see if it's true?" "Because you're a compulsive liar. Why should I trust you? For all I know, this is another scheme of yours, so you can scam my money out of me!" I tossed the notice of critical illness in her face. "Then, look at this closely. Tell me, what's the name that's written on it?" She didn't even look. The woman stepped on it and slapped me. "What an actor. You came in with props. If you have that much time, learn from Zack. If you please me, I'll give you any money you want. You made the wrong move."

“Because, unlike him, I will get you to do what I want to do. And tonight I want to fuck those big juicy tits of yours.” My brain misfires as I get a visual of him naked above me, sliding his cock between my… Woah. It’s been too long. “T-that’s not happening,” I stammer. He shuffles around in his suit jacket pocket and pulls out a fifty-dollar note. “Do you want to place a bet on that?” “What an over confident prick you are.” I shake my head. Never have I had such a cheap pick up line used on me. “And yes…” I snatch the fifty dollars from his hand.

"Yeah. I recall. I gave it to you and forgot about it." "Well, Hunt. You didn't respond to their calls and they tried calling the backup number on the ticket which was mine. Are you ready to hear this?" I laughed. "What? Did I win something?" I was a hundred and one percent sure Hannah was pranking me, along with Fred who was surely sitting there beside my sister orchestrating this entire prank. "Drum roll!" she said excitedly. "Take a deep breath and slowly let it go. You're not going to believe this."

"How do you know she won't betray you?" I honestly thought she was out of her mind. A woman who had already betrayed me was trying to compare herself to someone who hadn't. Shaking my head, I didn't bother answering. But Blake was waiting by the car. She lowered her eyes and asked softly, "Do you not trust me? I mean, I can afford to run a bar. I'm not that broke. I can take care of you." I broke into a laugh, pulled her close by the neck, and warned, "If you ever betray me, I'll just find someone new."

It had been long and thin, like it had been left by fingernails. A woman's fingernails. And the pearlescent button I had found in the washing machine the next morning... If the man pretending to be Michael wasn't my husband at all, then whose button was that? The door clicked open and Detective Logan walked back in, handing me a fresh cup of water. "You mentioned earlier that on April Fools' Day, when that man was... intimate with you, you noticed an injury on his arm?" I nodded frantically. "On the inside of his left forearm. A fresh scratch, like it had just happened."
