His Unveiled Passion

Quentin suggested playing a game to pass the time.

Naomi promptly pulled out a deck of cards and suggested, "Let's play spin the

bottle, card edition. I call it the King's Game."

It was a fairly simple game.

A Joker card and several other numbered cards were to be drawn at the start of

the game. The person who drew the Joker was the King and could give a single

order to anyone with a numbered card to do anything.

It just so happened that most of the people playing were couples.

Stephen and Tessa, Quentin and Naomi, and finally Henry and Samantha.

Sienna, Lester, Marissa, and Torin were the only single folk of the group.

That made things interesting.

Everyone could tell that Lester had feelings for Tessa.

Meanwhile, even a blind man could see that Marissa was in love with Stephen.

Torin and Sienna were scandal-free, at least that was the case for everyone else.

However, Tessa was aware that Torin only decided to attend because of Sienna.

Thus, the game might be a simple one, but it definitely did not lack excitement.

The thrill came from the fact that the King could make anyone with a numbered

card do whatever they wanted.

Naomi pulled the Joker card in the first round.

She swept her gaze across the room as a mischievous smile appeared on her

lips. Then, she said gleefully, "Ten of Spades, do 100 push-ups."
