Chapter 57 57: The game

Time passes that Novie didn't realize she had ordered her third latte. When John's phone rang they both decide to leave.

John opened the door for her and she steps out while he follows her.

They departed when they reach the entrance of the hotel. John said he needed to leave but he will come back later while Novie wants to call her boyfriend and tell. him what happened.

"Next time we see each other. I want to show you something " John spoke and opened the door for her.

Novie looked at him and wonder what it was but she's not a cat that could kill anyone once she gets curious so she decided to wait.

"ok" and with that. They both bid their goodbyes.

--

Later that night, Daniella informed her they will go to the casino, Novie has been expecting it, but she was not expecting her to wear a revealing dress that will show half of her soul.

Novie sighed and followed them, she tried to call Ken but his phone was still out of reach.

The casino was just opposite to the hotel they were staying, when they entered, Mila and Novie almost drop their jaw by the view.

(Whoa! ) Novie was speechless.

She was busy looking around when she felt a hand on her arm.

"let's go" Daniella whispered to her ear. When she looked at Mila, Peyton was accompanying her.

They walked to a poker table with four people sitting around, Daniella asked her to stand on the left side while Peyton and Mila went to the right side.

Novie narrowed her eyes, suspicious by their action.

(Something's not right here) she said to herself

When the game finished, one man won all the chip.

"anyone who wants to try?" the man in a black suit spoke in a proud tone. He jerked his head in a different direction and stopped when his eyes caught Novie.

"would you like to play?" he asked and gave a lopsided grin.

Novie widened her eyes and shook her head

(Do I looked like I have money?) She blurted inside.

"Let me try " Daniella spoke from her behind, Novie swung her head and saw the casual expression of Daniella.

When the woman sat opposite the man, Daniella asked her to stand beside and observe while Peyton and Mila went closer to them.

Another two men join the group when the set was complete, the game started

One after one. Every time Daniela put her card on the table, Peyton will take the chip from the other three. Novie was speechless throughout the game, thinking if Daniella wants she can have all the money the casino has.

Novie observed but could not understand how Daniella did it.

Suddenly the man from earlier slumped both hands on the table, Novie looked at him and saw the anger all over his face.

The man spoke in a strange language she could not understand but what surprised her the most was Daniella could understand and answer him.

She looked at him and saw how his body frost. Aside from Daniella, no one understands him. Soon the man sat down and his expression calmed, he whispered to the man standing next to him and afterward the man left.

When he came back, he had more chip in his hand and place it on the table.

"You can have this if you beat me but if I win, I will take you and that woman next to you" the man spoke in a serious tone and gave them a perverted smile.

Novie widened her eyes when she realized that the man requested for her and Daniella to spend the night with him, she turned to Daniella with shock in her face and wait for her to refuse.

"Well. You will lose if I play and you should know that by now, what about I will let my girlfriend Novie play and if you win, you can take me and my other girlfriend, Peyton. Don't worry were more experience " Daniella replied in a seductive tone while pointing at Peyton's direction.

Novie gulped, now that Daniella and Peyton's body is in her hands she doesn't know whether she can win. She had never played poker, this was her first time.

"Hey I can't do it " she whispered to Daniella.

The woman looked at her and winked." Just do like what I did earlier"

Saying that Daniella got up and asked her to occupy the girl.

Novie hesitated, but Peyton pushed her body to sit on the table, and with that, the game started.

After they distributed the card, Novie's trembling hands picked them up. She was hoping for Daniella to help her but the woman left to get a drink with Peyton. leaving her and Mila alone with the other players.

Minutes later, the two came back, Novie swallowed hard while her forehead sweat.

"haha... playing with you is like playing chess with my grandson in Aldovia, so easy..." the man spoke in a mocking tone. Novie sighed and lowered her card, she doesn't have an idea who won, she doesn't even know what kind of card she was holding.

When she lowered the card, the two other men playing with them widened their eyes

"hey that's straight!" the man exclaimed.

Novie with her flat face turned to the man, (what straight?) She asked herself.

To her surprise, the man who distributed the card move all the chip to her direction

"congratulation miss" Novie parted her lips in shock.

"I won?" she asked in surprise.

The man nodded and arranged the chip for her.

Novie was confused, she turned to Mila who had the same expression as her.

"how did I win?" she asked Mila. The girl shrugged her shoulder as a response.

"this is cheating!!!" the man yelled at her. Novie's heart jumped by the sound of his voice.

"let's play again" the man spoke once again.

Daniella who just finished her second glass smirked from behind.

"sure" Daniella replied sweetly.
