PAID TO STAY | Aventurine

After being sold off to pay off her mother's gambling debts as a young teenager, Alira "Lucky" Stone spent many years stuck as property to one of the top players in Penacony. Now at the age of twenty-two years old, Lucky has only ever been allowed to see the world outside her caged "home" whenever her owner needed "good luck" in a game. As much as she hated it, Lucky was forced to abide. Keeping her mouth shut and following orders.

However, during the time her owner called her to come by during a heated game, she met the eyes of a cool, confident man. The one her owner was sweating bullets against.

With a the most sly grin ever known to mankind on his face, the blond pointed to her with words that made her feel something real for the first time in years, "how about you add her to the pool?"

Lucky, originally known as Alira, was about to gain the first, yet biggest gamble she's ever played.
