Number two, I walk away now and you never get to see me again. What number will it be, pretty boy?" "Number one." Dex didn't think about the threatening clause behind the first option as he quickly made his choice. "Hmm... Is that your final answer?" Phoenix walked back to him and stared directly into his eyes. "Because, once I take off my mask, there's no going back. You will be in for a long and bumpy ride." "Take it off..." Dex reiterates, sounding like he was referring to something else than the mask. He eyes glinted with deep longing as he gazed in her glimmering eyes. ***** Hello readers... If this is your first time reading this book. welcome.

Fiercely Competitive

"What the f**k!"

Someone murmured audibly.

"Is she out of her mind?!" Another person retorted.

"She's got balls, I tell you!" One of the players who had once been privileged to witness Anna's ingenuity in poker exclaimed proudly.

The once tense atmosphere was now engulfed with a mixture of muffled compliments and sarcastic comments until Maximus lifted his hand in the air.

Maximus never knew his girlfriend to be reckless. He observed something different about her behavior which seemed totally off from the Anna he knew. She was more daring, ruthless and dangerously competitive.

Staring at the total amount of roughly fifty-two million dollars on the poker table and what he stood to lose, Maximus leaned closer and whispered into Phoenix's left ear.

"Babe, are you sure you have what it takes to win this game? Don't you think you're been a bit reckless?" A hint of foreboding and threat lingered in his tone.
