The High-Stakes Gamble
Sam's Point of View
The game began, and Eliana's confidence radiated across the table. I stood behind her, my heart pounding with every move she made.
"Who's this?" the man asked, gesturing toward me with a sly smile.
" It looks like you come with a bodyguard, you must be a legend" he said laughing
Before I could respond, Eliana said, "He's my husband."
I was taken aback by her words, my mouth slightly agape. Husband? What was she thinking? However, I wasn't in a position to challenge her right now, so I kept my shock to myself and played along any mistakes that might spoil our goal.
The man chuckled, leaning back in his chair. "A husband who doesn't talk much. I like that." he laughed
As the cards were dealt, the game intensified. Eliana played with confidence, but luck didn't seem to be on her side. After a tense few rounds, she lost.
