I'll ask a question about you and you will give an answer and then you will ask a question about me and I have to answer you" He said explaining the rules of the game. After hearing about the game I was not entirely happy about it but needed to know certain things. "I'll ask first." I said. "Go ahead" He answered unbothered. "What language do you speak among yourselves?" I asked him. I really wanted to know this. He started laughing when he heard my question.

Stuttering furiously I said the first thing that came to my mind, "It’s a game." “Yes, I want to play a game!” he exclaimed, beaming with joy at the idea. "We'll be here for a while without saying a word, and the first person to break the silence loses," I explained, praying this would keep him occupied. "I'll win," he declared with childlike confidence. "Okay, 1, 2, 3. It starts now."

“A game? At bedtime?” “Yep,” I said, leaning in a little closer. “It’s called the ‘Get Rid of Secrets’ game. It works like magic. You and I take turns telling a secret—something we’ve never told anyone before. It helps clear your mind so you can sleep.” Evan’s lips twitched into a hesitant smile. “That’s… a weird game.” “Maybe,” I admitted, “but it works. Want to try?” He hesitated for a moment, then nodded. “Okay, but you go first.”

The hospital was dimly lit. Before I could even take off my white coat, my phone buzzed. I saw the familiar numbers flash across the screen, and I couldn't help but furrow my brow. "Dana, come to The Midnight Club, VIP Room B." The noise on the other end was a chaotic blend of laughter and voices. "Dana, bring a bottle of wine. Tonight, we drink until we drop." "Yeah, bring champagne. Let's give Rosa a proper celebration!"

I say, strolling back toward her. “Besides Rat Trap on your fake tits, the second game is called Truth: A Little Flesh or Lies: A Lot of Flesh.” I smirk. “Rules are simple. I’m going to adjust our little rat friend, so he’s positioned right above your overpriced silicone tits. Then, I ask a question. As I heat the bucket. You answer and if I believe you, I release a little heat. Vincent over there, he takes part of a finger. But if we think you’re lying?” I glance over at Vinny. “I heat the bucket, and he takes the whole fucking finger.”

I am seriously regretting this game I started. There is nothing I can do tonight, so I slowly rise from the hard floor and dust myself off. I eat a light dinner and make a cup of hot tea. Next, I head upstairs to take a long bath. I begin filling the clawtooth tub with warm water and add in some of my favorite rose bath oils before lighting candles around the room. This is my sanctuary and exactly what I need right now. I lean my head back and breathe in the rose and amber from the candles as Frank Sinatra’s smooth melodic voice fills the room. I was just about to drift off to sleep when suddenly I felt a shift in the atmosphere. Power, raw angry power was headed my way. I see no point in ge

I had thought I would calmly expose his lies, but my body couldn't help but tremble as I spoke. "You disgust me! Since that's the case, I'm done playing this game. Go, be happy with her." Shane didn't expect me to know the truth, and he couldn't even form a proper sentence. "W-What do you mean, you're done playing this game?" "I'll leave this world. I won't appear in front of you anymore." A trace of panic appeared on Shane's face. He clenched his fists, but with so many people around, he still forced a smile. "That's got to be a bluff! Your mission's not complete yet, so your sister will die!"

Lloyd smiled calmly and intentionally twisted their words. When he looked at me, his eyes were filled with provocation. Despite being my girlfriend, Naomi said nothing and just kept watching short videos. I shook my head. “I lost, so I’ll accept the punishment.” Since Wendy did not answer the phone, I sent her a voice message. “Dating is more interesting than working. Do you want a boyfriend, Miss Clark?” I even attached a selfie. Everyone in the room fell into a strange state of silence. Naomi froze and shifted her eyes away from her phone to stare at me intensely.

The heat of his body was burning through my clothes, making my skin itch with a need I couldn't voice. Emails. Contracts. Numbers. Anything to keep my brain busy. The bus starts moving, the engine humming under our feet. Players are talking near the front. Someone turns on music, a dull bass thumping through the speakers. But back here it feels quiet. Too quiet. Nikolai, watches me type for a few seconds Then he says quietly, his voice barely a whisper above the road noise, “You really want to pretend last night didn’t happen?” My fingers stop moving.
