The Playboy CEO

~°~°~°~°~°~ An accidental marriage. A drunken mistake, or a premeditated plan for revenge? Amaria doesn’t know what to make of her new situation, and due to unforeseen circumstances, she is trapped. Forced to accept her fate until the time is right, a typically reserved executive finds herself at a crossroad between following logic, and giving in to her bleeding heart. The man she calls her husband does not make it easy for her either, but however she decides to look at it, she reaches the same conclusion. A conclusion that breaks her heart. As for him? Well, it’s up to him to decide what he’ll do with this new mess he’s stuck in, and whether he'll pursue a happy future with his wife rather than let her go as he had once upon a time. [WARNING: the male and female lead in this story have a complicated relationship with oftentimes toxic elements. The second volume of this story will see to their personal growth as they learn what it means to be in healthy relationships.]

The Rendezvous (pt. 3)

"I demand a rematch," I blinked at him. "Best two out of three," was he out of his mind? I won fair and square, that's all that mattered, and the risk of losing my win was too big to ignore? Was it my wish to quit my job? No, it was not my wish, but desperate times call for desperate measures and I sure as hell felt desperate right now. 

"Absolutely not," the dealer could not finish placing my chips in their tray fast enough. Even though the game was over, nobody had left the table, and we even had people from other tables looking over at us. This was so embarrassing. 

"Why not? Are you scared?" His taunting wasn't going to work on me because my mind was made up. If I played again just to prove a point, I ran the risk of losing not only all my chips, but also all the power I had to walk away. If that happened, there was absolutely no way I'd leave Miami without all my underwear torn to shreds, and that was the first step to having my heart torn to shreds.
