Dear ex-Wife please be mine again

Chapter 139

Daniel’s POV

I sat there, the adrenaline still coursing through my as the last man took his turn. He pulled the trigger, and the silence that followed was heavier than the room had ever been. It had only been a matter of time, but I had done it. I’d made it through…won the game, beat the odds, and walked out with a cool ten million in cash. But that wasn’t the end.

Rafael looked at me, a flicker of something like respect in his eyes. He leaned back in his chair, his fingers drumming against the table as the other men began to pack up their winnings, grumbling defeated

“Not bad. Daniel. Not bad at all,” Rafael said, his voice cool but admiring.

I didn’t smile, didn’t react. My mind was somewhere else entirely. Somewhere far away from this grimy warehouse, far away from the smell of sweat and fear. It was back with her. Christiana.

demeanor. He could see it. He always had. He knew I wasn’t here for the cash.

“Don’t get too comfortable,” he said, his tone a little more serious now. “There’s another game. $100 million.”

My heart skipped a beat. I looked at him, locking eyes. “What’s the earch?”

He smirked, but there was no amusement in his gaze. “This one’s more dangerous. A lot more dangerous. The odds aren’t just against you they’re deadly”

I didn’t hesitate. The stakes could have been a billion dollars for all I cared. I had one thing on my mind. Christiana.

“I’m in,” I said, my voice low but unwavering.

The room fell quiet. Even the men around the table, who had been so eager to leave moments ago, turned their attention to me. They weren’t used to seeing someone like me someone who didn’t hesitate, someone who didn’t flinch at the thought of risking it all.

Rafael’s face turned serious, his fingers drumming on the table again, slower now, like he was considering how far he could push me. He didn’t know, though. He didn’t know that there was nothing more dangerous than living without Christiana. Nothing that scared me more than the thought of her being lost forever.

“You don’t understand, Daniel,” Rafael said, his voice lowered. “This game. It’s not just about pulling a trigger. You’re risking your life your future. You think $10 million is a lot! This next round is $100 million, and the consequences go beyond money. People die in that game. I’ve seen it. And you you’re not the same man you were before. You’ve got things to lose now.”
