Love At Stake

"Tobin! Tobin!" She called out his name, but he was gone. And was probably never coming back. She had seen that look in his eyes before. He was angry and in that state he was capable of doing anything. "You are ungrateful. After all the Lancaster have done for you. You have no right to be so angry! Do you think staying with your loser father would have been better? Look I know what I suffered as a kid. My supposed dad, your biological father was all I got and I dare say he failed in his responsibility!" Those were the exact words she had said to Tobin few minutes ago. Tobin was hurt. Although he had never met his biological father, but he was sure he deserved more than Sharon was saying about him. He knew right from the start he didn't belong to the Lancaster family. They were all too different from him. He knew something was wrong about the family but he never could tell what it was. He was going to avenge the death of his mother no matter what it will cost him. Sharon was confused. She was torn between her new found family and her love for Tobin. In that moment of despair she felt a sharp pain on her left arm, one which she hasn't felt for years since her supposed father's death, and she has always prayed never to experience it again. She knew what it meant. Someone she loves was about to die but the question on her lips was "Who is it going to be?" ******** A gamble was made, two babies were switched, lives were lost, but love was found, but at what expense?

Making The Bet Official

In the meantime Mr lancaster is in the office of his friend Mr Huffington the owner of LA Masai De casin. They were putting pen to paper on the bet they made about the marriage of Sharon.

"I must remind you of the rules Lan." Lan is the nickname Mr Huffington calls him. He is the only one close to him that dares calls him by that name.

"I know the rules I am a grand patron for goodness sake." Don't you dare treat me like a kid in this game. '

"Even at that I must not fail to remind you that in a bet on relationships there must be no interference directly or indirectly. The immediate consequence if noticed is lose of bet and inability to quietly concede defeat is death."

"I know everything you don't need to educate me. I am not some amateur player."

"Alright then sign here and there he said" handing some sheet of papers to him.

Mr lancaster didn't bother to read the papers, he knew the rules of the game like the back of his hand. He signed them and handed them over back to Mr Huffington who has been looking at him with keen interest. He remembers eighteen years ago when they are made similar bet on a natural occurrence, he had lost the bet and since then his life has never been the same. He had to move into drugs and arms smuggling to survive in the game. He decided to ask about Sharon

"How is Sharon coping in her new home he asked" Mr lancaster. He remembers he was the one who signed the papers handing sharon over to him.

"She is fine. I think she will adapt quickly to the lancaster lifestyle soon enough. She seems like a smart girl. Although there is something strange about her that borders me. I don't fully understand her. She reminds me of...."

He stopped at this point, he didn't want to say

Sharon reminded him of his wife.

"You were saying she reminds you of who?" Mr Huffington asked curiously

At that moment there was loud noise outside the office. A gun shot was heard, the noise came from right inside the casino. Mr Huffington quickly rushed to lock his office door.

"There was no Russian Roulette booked for that day that he was aware so he shouldn't be hearing a gunshot inside the casino"

he reasoned

Mr lancaster looked at his friend a little bit worried, trying to figure out what was happening.

"Give Bryan a call, he should know what is happening he said to his friend. "

Bryan is the head of security at LA Masia De casin.

"I will do just that" Mr Huffington said reaching for his phone. The phone barely rang when it was picked.

"Hello Bryan what's the matter outside I believe I just heard a gunshot." He could hear the sound of slaps from the background.

"The situation is under control sir. Two amateur players were involved in a fight and one of them pulled out a gun
