Anastasia thought mentioning that she was married would dispel his interest in her. But ke justughed harder, This is hrious! I''ve toyed around with a lot of dames, but never a married one. Frels fresh, quite the thrill" He was beyond creepy Anastasia''s anger was like a simmering pot she had to keep a lid on since she couldn''t afford the repercussions of letting it boil over. That was the rule of the jungle


    Forcing a smile, she said, "You''re a real joker" She then turned to Everlee. "We''ll chat about the jewelry design details some other day. I won''t bug you guys any longer. If she couldn''t fight back, she''d evade. But, as it turned out, she couldn''t do that either. "My beauty, you think you can just waltz out of here? That''s adorable." ke blocked her path, tapping his nose. "You''ve gotta pay the piper. You can leave, but y a game with me. If you win, you''re free. If you lose, you leave with me" Anastasia knew she was stuck. If she agreed, win or lose, she wouldn''t get away


    Lauren was furious, "ke, dont push it. She''s my friend, and she''s married. She''s not one of us; she won''t have any ulterior motives. We''re just here for Everlee."


    ke signaled someone, and then two men escorted Lauren away


    "Ms. Lauren, let''s move the party elsewhere."


    "Sure, let''s go."


    Lauren was taken away. Of course, given Lauren''s background, they wouldn''t harm her. Anastasia didn''t need to worry about her. She needed to worry about herself Anastasia''s heart was pounding as she watched the onlookers, but she tried her best to stayposed.


    "You want to y a game? Then I''ll set the stakes and rules."


    keughed, not phased at all, "No problem."


    Anastasia nced at the nearby dartboard and said, "Let''s y that."


    ke grinned at the mention of darts, Are you sure?


    Someone chimed in, "ke''s an ace at darts. No one here can beat him.


    "She''s practically delivering herself into ke''s bed


    "I bet thats her goal. Women, always ying hard to get


    Anastasia ignored the chatter, looking straight at ke, I''m sure. But I raise the stakes. If I win, not only can I leave, but I also want you to put in a good word for me with Everlee. Give me a chance to discuss the jewelry design details" ke nced at Everlee, who despite seeming displeased, agreed, "No problem."


    Anastasia had detected something between Everlee and ke, which was why she used ke to influence Everlee.


    Anastasia walked up to the dartboard, picked up a dart, and approached ke.


    "ke, you go first. Everyone knows you''re a hotshot at darts, so a bit of a challenge shouldn''t be a problem. If you can hit the dartboard from that spot, I''ll admit defeat, and you can punish me." ke looked over and noticed that Anastasia pointed to a spot two meters away.


    For ke, this distance was a joke. He usually threw darts from five meters away. This wasn''t a challenge; it was making it easier.


    ke wasn''t pleased, "As a man, I can''t bully you too much. I''ll


    ke stood on the throwing line five meters away.


    Anastasia responded with a poker face, "No problem."


    and here. If I hit it, you''re mine tonight


    Though Anastasia seemed indifferent, she was actually quite nervous. She was gambling.


    A group of rich kids gathered around, all thinking ke would undoubtedly win this game


    Before ke threw, he raised an eyebrow at Anastasia, oozing confidence as he threw the dart. The moment the dart left his hand, Anastasia''s heart skipped a beat.
