Chapter 562

Snooker? Yeah, right. This was just his way of keeping me locked up like some kind of hostage while he tried to force Steve into winning.

It was clear now-I wasn't getting out of here until after the game.

So, I stepped out onto the terrace for a little fresh air. But the second I saw it, I froze.

The terrace was massive-it stretched across the whole estate, with lush gardens, a golf course, an open-air snooker hall, a pool, and probably some other stuff I hadn't even seen yet. It looked like a giant playground for rich people.

Handling Bruno was easy. But his fans? They were a whole other problem. Obsessed and ready to go full- crazy on a dime.
