Chapter 88: Chapter 88 Dangerous Game Rules

Ivy’s POV 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

The private gaming suite within Xavier’s fortress-like estate resembled a high-stakes casino reserved for the most dangerous players in the underground world. Crystal chandeliers cast brilliant light across professional poker tables, while vintage roulette wheels sat alongside imported slot machines, creating an atmosphere of lethal elegance rather than humble entertainment.

"Welcome to my modest recreational facility," Xavier announced with theatrical grandeur, gesturing broadly across his domain.

"Drop the performance, Xavier. Nothing about this compound screams modesty. This setup is excessive even for a capo," Gemma retorted, her eyes rolling at his transparent display.

"I simply appreciate providing quality hospitality for my family associates," Xavier replied smoothly. "The bar contains premium selections, everyone should feel at ease here. I’ve arranged various delicacies for tonight’s gathering. Let’s get comfortable and create some memorable moments."

"Shall we continue our blackjack competition?" Brenda suggested, earning enthusiastic agreement from the assembled group.

Xavier efficiently distributed poker chips and fresh card decks while preparing the main gaming table. Everyone retrieved their preferred drinks before settling around the green felt surface. The mood remained relaxed and enjoyable until Ruby’s encrypted phone vibrated with an incoming message.

"Now the real entertainment begins."

"Everyone listen up, these standard wagers are getting predictable. How about we make this significantly more interesting?" Ruby proposed with a dangerous glint sparkling in her green eyes.

"What scheme are you hatching now, troublemaker?" Beckett questioned as suspicious looks circulated around the table.

"I’m absolutely ready for this. Everything here is painfully boring, nobody cares about actually winning," Zoe added with enthusiasm.

"This remains a card game, Zoe. Caring isn’t necessary. Success depends purely on luck," Caleb stated matter-of-factly, though his tone suggested he sensed approaching complications.

"Caleb, even you’re obviously bored senseless," I observed, resting my hand against his muscled thigh.

"So what ingenious plan are you ladies developing?" Dominic inquired, his eyes narrowing with cautious wariness.

"Something guaranteed to elevate your heart rate," Nora responded with a wicked grin.

"Please tell me this doesn’t involve removing clothing," Jude groaned, burying his face while everyone burst into laughter.

"Definitely not," Ruby assured them, causing visible relief. "However, we could establish this rule: each round’s winner gets to kiss whoever they choose."

Every male face displayed shock and complete disbelief, making it nearly impossible to contain my amusement at their horrified expressions.
