The Side Deal

Some gambles are worth the risk.

I thought I was invisible. I’m trapped in a perfect life that’s slowly suffocating me. But an impulsive trip to a casino ignites a spark inside me.

When the casino manager backs me against his desk and looks at me like I’m something to devour, not decorate, I remembered what it feels like to be wanted. Really wanted.

They say the house always wins, but tonight, so do I.

My marriage will never be the same.
