NancyI saw a vein popping out of the man's forehead. He clearly didn't expect that a simple woman like me would challenge him like that. "All or nothing? Wow! This is risky even for you, gentleman,” said one of the men participating in the game, addressing the smug rich man. He looked at me with a threatening look, as if I were no match for him. He was a fucking bastard, and I liked seeing him suffer. I could lose all my chips in that game because the chances were infinitely low for me, but that man who was provoking me could also lose money in that game, and it would be very pleasurable for me to see him lose even just once. “Why this hesitation? I thought you liked challenges, sir,” I said to him. I was the one with the smug smile now. He chuckled, looking at me as if I were just a mosquito bothering him. “It's a shame you just changed my opinion; I don't think you're that sexy anymore,” he said, making the people there laugh, but Jake wasn't laughing; he was pissed at the way
Love Under Fire Now play and win!
NancyIt was a hot night in one of the best hotels in Las Vegas, and my opponent and I were facing each other like true rivals. His face was all red with anger; all he could think about was beating me and humiliating me, and I wanted the same thing, so we were equals like we were never before. My cynical smile played across my face as I fearlessly faced my opponent, my body slightly tilted forward, one hand resting on the roulette table, and my index finger slowly sliding into my drink glass. The tension in the air was so high that it seemed as if everyone was going to get slapped at any moment. My opponent gave a low, mocking laugh; he was sure I would lose everything today—all the 38 thousand dollars I had won in an interesting luck move. He wanted to see me lose so much that he didn't mind sacrificing his money. I liked those types of people; that way, I could celebrate a lot more when he really fucked himself. “Let's see how long you can take this, Hecate,” he said, half-mocking

Nancy“Oops! Did he die or something?” I asked, feigning sadness. My arms were entwined with Jake's while he, arms crossed, remained incorruptible. The game master was crouched next to my opponent's body lying on the ground. He put two fingers on the vein in the man's neck to check the pulse. “He was unconscious but alive,” he reported. A buzz of comments was heard soon after. “Oh, less bad then,” I commented with a mock chuckle. A group of paramedics were already approaching to take the loser away. Moments later, the casino police wanted to question us because of the fight. Jake and I were sitting in front of the officer's desk, who was watching security camera footage to make sure what had happened. “So you’re from the police, Mr. Gardner?” The officer asked Jake while checking my ID and his. “Yes, sir. In the NYPD narcotics department,” he said calmly. The officer nodded as he analyzed the badge with a surprised expression on his face. "I am seeing. Anyway, there's nothing I
Love Under Fire Date night in Vegas
NancyJake and I went to a random ATM we found around town and stopped in front of the machine. “Is this really going to work?” I asked, pretending to have high expectations, looking at my gold card. “I hope it works, right?" Jake replied, encouraging me to continue. I grunted and inserted the card into its own slot, and the card responded immediately. “Please confirm your identification,” said a female electronic voice. I looked at Jake, and we both shrugged. “Nancy Anderson,” I said into the machine. The system processed it and then gave it a green signal. "The card is weathered and ready to use,” said the electronic voice. “Jeez, jeez,” commented Jake expectantly. “Try to raise some cash,” he encouraged. “How about a thousand?” I suggested, entering the amount number and clicking on the “withdraw” option, and to my surprise, the machine spit out a thousand dollars in cash and reported what was left. On the machine screen, it said 1,443,000.00 exactly. Jake and I looked at

NancyWe didn't know that city, so we both ended up not being able to get back to where our limo was. Since we were in the shopping area, it was normal to find shopping carts on the corners. Jake grabbed one of them and dragged it to where I was. “Your makeshift car has arrived, princess,” he said, pointing to the shopping cart with a comical bow, making me laugh. “I actually thought it was romantic,” I replied. He held me in his arms as if I were a bride and then placed me inside the shopping mall to cuddle. It was actually quite comfortable in there. Jake was guiding the shopping cart with me inside, playing games with me. “Imagine me arriving at my mother’s house for Christmas this year with you in the shopping cart? I bought the woman of my life; I’ll tell my mother that,” he joked, making me smile. “I really am the best buy, aren’t I?”“Best buy ever,” he replied, kissing the top of my head. I had never felt as appreciated as I did at that moment. When we arrived at an ATM,

Nancy“What do you think we do something crazy and get married today?”Jake was a passionate guy who liked to live at the moment in its most intense sense. He wasn't afraid to throw himself into it, and he was clearly living it with all his heart, just like me; the fact that he asked me to marry him in such an unexpected way confirmed that. All of that could only be extreme madness, since neither he nor I were at our most lucid. In reality, it would have been a huge outrage for him to propose marriage since we had known each other for such a short time, and not only that, but I was going through a complicated divorce process, but at that moment I just decided to throw my worries away and focus on the absurd idea of being proposed to him. So I gave a hearty laugh, which he soon followed, and soon after, I threw myself into his arms in a tight hug accompanied by a kiss. Of course, I could perfectly imagine myself by his side until the last days of my life. If everything was as crazy a
Love Under Fire The despair of a sinful mother
GloryDenver“She already knows everything, Harald. Candace knows about both of us and Ivor; She threatened to reveal the truth if you divorced her…”"What...?" Harald was shocked; his eyes were wide, with a frightened expression on his face. “What do you mean she knows everything? How did this happen?" he asked, still perplexed. I understood him; we were always so meticulous so that no one could suspect the truth, and now it was revealed to us that Candace, his wife, knew everything all this time. I always knew I would pay a high price for cheating on my husband by falling in love with his son. Furthermore, I shook my head amidst sobs. “I also can't say how she found out; she only surprised me when she confessed this to me... Harald, I'm desperate. If Charles finds out about this, I have no idea what will happen to me and Ivor…” I cried to him, my eyebrows drawn together in pure anguish. Harald knew very well how bad his father could be when he wanted to; just like me, he knew very
Love Under Fire How vile I am
Candace So my dear husband had returned from his trip, which was good because we had a lot to talk about. “With my own brother?” he asked while he was sitting on the couch in front of me in our room, his legs apart in a relaxed position, and his gaze was impetuous, looking at me with contempt as if I were a piece of shit. “With your own stepmother?” I returned the question with a look similar to his. Did he dare judge me? So he was fucking his father's wife? So he was a man with very little census if he were to judge me. He laughed without any humor, treating me as if I were mad. “You want to compare this heinous affair you're having with Bruce to my relationship with Glory? Well, know that what I have with Glory is much deeper than you could imagine. I'm crazy about her, and I will always love her,” he made sure to clarify. “Whether you love her or not, it’s still a direct betrayal against your father; it doesn’t improve anything for you or mitigate your sin,” I said, making sure
