The Divorce Prescription

Tonight, Adam had been losing nonstop, luck wasnt on his side, and the cold lines on his handsome face made it clear he wasnt pleased.

Carly, who was seated beside him, was studying her cards.

Beside her lay a fruit platter filled with fresh seasonal fruits.

She reached out with her delicate hand, picked a plump purple grape, and peeled off its skin.

Then, she held the glistening, juicy flesh to Adams lips.

Without taking his eyes off his cards, Adam opened his mouth and ate the grape Carly offered.

She nestled closer to him, her movements soft and graceful, catching the seed he spat out in her palm without hesitation.

Carly resembled a perfect wife, attending to Adams every need.

One of the young heirs at the table laughed.

Alvarez could have Mercitys number one beauty catering to him like this.

The other chimed in, They say fortune in love means misfortune in gambling.

No wonder Mr.

Alvarez has been losing all night.

Carly gave a playful pout, her lips curving into a coy smile.
