My crush gave me to a poker friend to pay off his debts
Chapter 1
I swear, Jake and I were having the worst luck.
at poker.
He’d blown through all the cash he had on him, and it still wasn’t enough to cover his
debts.
Then some joker pipes up, “Hey, why not use the little shadow who’s been crushing on you for years to settle the score?”
And Jake? He actually agreed. He straight–up shoved me forward. I begged him not to hand me over like some kind of prize.
But he just said, “You’re so into me, right?
Then you gotta do what I say.”
Besides,” he smirked, “John will get bored of
you fast. You can always come crawling
back.”
Joke’s on him, though. John ended up
becoming his boss, and I? I became Mrs.
Boss.

The mansion was huge. A bunch of young
people were crowded around a poker table,
betting big.
“Damn it! Seriously bad luck tonight,” Jake
grumbled, looking super annoyed.
I was sitting next to him. I couldn’t even
follow the game, but I could see he was
losing a ton of money. So, like an idiot, I quietly pushed my own cash toward him.
He just glared and shoved my hand away.
“Don’t jinx my game!”
Across the table, Brittany snickered.
“Chloe, honey, you don’t know much about
cards, do you? You can’t just throw someone
else’s money into the pot. It screws up the
mojo.”
Everyone burst out laughing.
“Ha! Guess this girl’s a poker newbie.”
く
“Jake, when did you start dating
bubbleheads? She looks totally clueless.”
“LOL, so innocent.”
They were all cracking up, and Brittany was
loving it. Jake looked like he wanted to disappear. He told me to go sit somewhere
else.
I awkwardly got up, ready to bolt.
“Focus on playing the game, guys. No need to
get personal,” a guy spoke up.
The moment I walked in, I noticed him right
away.
He was wearing a white embroidered shirt.
L
Dark hair, sharp features.
He looked like a total heartthrob, classy and
handsome.
Jake said his name was John. His family had
a ton of money. Lots of people in town were
trying to get on his good side.
Jake had met him once at some fancy party.
John was hosting the poker night at his house
and invited Jake.
Jake wanted to impress him and maybe get a
business deal out of it, so he showed up.
And me? I’m just a lovesick puppy. Wherever
Jake goes, I want to follow.

Didn’t expect to get roasted tonight.
