Chapter Twenty: Gamble
"HE placed his shares in the Trivano Tech as his bet for the killer's confidential whereabouts. Knowing Lex, he will bet everything just to know his father's killer."
"Anong ibig mong sabihin? Hindi ba't alam naman niya na si lolo ang nagpapatay sa tatay niya?"
"But there's no enough evidence from the day of Tito Anton's murder. No eye witnesses and footage. Bayad ang mga opisyal na nakakaalam ng krimen at na-promote na sa posisyon. And besides, anyone that would leak that information would likely be targetted. No one would want to oppose your grandfather, Em. Alam mo 'yan."
Binilisan ni NIck ang pagmamaneho ng sasakyan papunta sa casino kung saan nagaganap ang pustahan. Good thing Nick came to her for help. Hindi niya mapapatawad ang sarili kapag nawala ang lahat kay Lex dahil sa lolo niya. The least thing that she could do is to protect Lex from her grandfather. Kahit kapalit no'n ay ang balikan ang isang parte ng pagkatao niya na matagal na niyang tinalikuran.
"Do you still have the black card that I gave you, Nikos?"
Nanlaki ang mga mata ni Nick nang marinig iyon mula sa kanya. "Are you going to——"
"There's no other way, Nikos! It is either I'll show them who they're dealing with or see Alexander being trampled by Walter's goons." JM unbuckled her seatbelt as she pointed Corinne's boutique nearby. "Isn't that Corinne's boutique? Good. I need a damn dress."

DROPLETS of sweat formed on Lex's forehead. Hindi niya lubusang maisip na mandadaya ang kalaban niya sa sugal. He knew in the last game that Walter's bastard son Jack knew how to count cards. That's the ace he's been hiding. Lex gritted his teeth.
"Ninenerbyos ka na ba, Trivano?" Nanunuksong tanong nito sa kanya. There's a smug look on Jack's face that he badly wanted to rip off if he could. May mga babaeng nakapaligid rito at maya't-mayang hinhaplos si Jack at inaakit para sa balato.
Lex isn't nervous to loose all his shares in Trivano tech. Ang tanging bagay na kinaiinisan niya ay ang posibilidad na hindi na niya malalaman kung sinong hayop ang pumatay sa kanyang ama.
Lex waited patiently for the dealer to distribute the cards. Saktong bumukas ang pinto ng VIP room at pumasok si Nick at... JM?
What is she doing in his fucking casino?
In a blink, Lex completely forgot the bet in front of him. Tila ba naagaw na ni JM ang buong atensyon niya mula sa sugalang nagaganap. She's wearing a black, slutty dress with a plunginng neckline and spaghetti strap. JM walked seductively towards him and he couldn't help but look at her exposed thighs. Her dress is way too slutty, everyone in the private room was looking at her.
"Hi, baby." Walang pasabing sinalubong siya ni JM ng marubdob na halik pagkatapos ay binulungan siya ng, "Let me handle this."
Mistulang naging bloke ng yelo si Lex at hindi makagalaw. His cock stood still at the sight of JM's hot body. Her cleavage was round and full, he longed to suck the twin buds on it as he fuck her mindless.
Nagpaubaya siya kay JM at hinayaan niyang hilahin siya nito paalis ng kanyang upuan. JM placed a black card on the table before sitting on Lex's chair.
"As Walter's goon, I'm sure you're familiar with this black card."
Napatayo si Jack sa kinatatayuan. "You're one of my father's adviser? Are you sure? This card is priceless, Miss—"
"That doesn't matter now, doesn't it?" Itinulak ni JM palapit kay Jack ang card. "You know the perks of having this black card, Jack. You could even ask Walter a favor even if he doesn't want to. Ganoon ka-halaga ang card na'to. Now, I'm betting this for the confidential files you placed as a bet. Gusto ko ring hingiin ang tulong ng mga tauhan mo kung kakailanganin ko man ang tulong nila."
