CHAPTER TWELVE

Ethan

Levenson's appearance doesn’t surprise me at all, but his offer does.

He tipped the bottle a little too hard last night, and he tells me he may or may not have said some things, “That might have been a little brash,” he confesses sheepishly.

He’s doing his best ‘I’m sorry’ face but can't hide that cold look in his eyes.

The look of a man who wants his two million dollars back, even though he hasn’t paid me a cent of it yet.

Part of me wants to tell Krissy about the money, her money, really.

She chose the winning number. I just placed the bet.

But I think I’ll wait until we have the money before I tell her about it.

“How about we bury the hatchet, Ethan? And to make it worth your while, I’ll double down on my loss… four million on the table. Tonight after dinner. Just you and me,” he tells me, not sounding like he’s asking anymore.

“Well…,” I muse aloud, pretending like I’m having trouble deciding.

“I would need my lucky charm. But she’s all booked out working your slots floor, it seems,” I shrug, politely declining him.

Knowing he won’t be so quick to disappear until he gets what he wants, which is me losing everything to him somehow.

“That girl from last night?” he asks in a tone of disbelief.

“I thought you two were getting along. I can see a lot from my office with all these cameras Ethan. Remember that,” he cautions me, but he can’t stop himself from smiling.

His hearty laugh to himself as he shakes his head before scanning the room tells me he’ll do whatever it takes to have me back at the gambling table.

Levenson’s not one to lose face, and if he’s already two million down after I walked away last night, it’s not something he’d let simmer for too long before he’d even dream of actually paying me.

“I’ll make sure you have whatever makes you comfortable. And remember, the penthouse suite, the whole hotel is at your service,” he reminds me, having Krissy’s supervisor brought over so he can give her the good news about being down another employee for the shift himself.

“See you tonight, at say…nine?” he asks over his shoulder as he turns to leave.

Always having the last word.

I don’t say yes, but I don’t say no. I already know he’s expecting me to join him later.

Levenson’s being nice enough now, but only until he wins his money back.

His house, his rules. But I’m getting what I want, and that’s Krissy. All to myself for today.

And for every day to come, if I play my own cards right.

I sense Krissy’s a little annoyed at me for interfering, getting my way. But like I tell her, she can still get paid for working, and we can still spend time together.

It’s a win-win, and it isn’t long before she forgives me.

Agreeing to let me get her out of here and go do something more fun.

“You mad?” I ask once we’re out on the street, looking both ways before we cross as I slip her hand into mine.
