Bye, My Irresistible Love

Adam’s POV 

When my capital chain was broken, I fell into a desperate situation. Just so I could pay off my debts in a short span of time, I had to sell a part of my shares and take the money to Las Vegas and gamble it.

Considering the fact that I was an experienced gambler, I had the utmost confidence that I’d be able to win enough money to pay off my debts.

In the beginning, I was able to win several rounds.

And when I saw that my chips on the table were piling up.I was so happy.I even began to feel heady with success.

Sadly, Lady Luck wasn’t always on my side.

Every other game, I would lose more and more money and I even managed to lose all the money I had won during the first few games.

And after losing several days in a row, I finally broke down.I couldn’t go on like this.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t even be able to afford a ticket back to LA! And so, I quietly left the gambling table, and left with the rest of the money.

But the second I walked out of the casino, several young members of the casino’s staff went after me.

"Hey! Stop right there!"

My heart almost stopped.

I ran away as fast as my legs could carry me along with the money.I shouldered my way through the crowd.I could feel my heart almost leaping from my chest because of how nervous I felt.

Unfortunately for me, the staff were skilled fighters and they soon caught up with me.

They surrounded me, fueled with rage.

"Why didn’t you keep running, you fool? Isn’t that all you’re good for?" I shook my head and began begging for my life.

"I… I won’t run anymore.Just spare me, please!"

"You made us lose a large commission and you want us to just let you go? Fuck you! We’re not doing that.Oi! Beat the fuck out of this shithead!"

Before I could utter another word, the men gave me a beating.

Fists and feet trampled upon me.

They were so merciless. A burst of pain shot through my body.All I could do was curl up on the ground and bellow in pain.

"Please, let me go! I really didn’t mean to run away! This is the last of my savings.I’m going to give all of them to you if you promise to stop beating me!"

I endured the tremendous amount of pain and handed all of the money I had in hand.They cackled at me while swiping the money away.

"You’re wise to hand over the money.Alright, men! Time to go!"

As I watched them swagger away, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, I struggled to get up, hobbling my way back to the hotel.

At this time, two strong-looking men approached me.
