The Protector

Aaron was oblivious to the incoming danger that awaited him. He was enjoying himself to his heart’s content at that moment.

He had won for a few consecutive rounds and earned roughly 100 thousand. On his 10th straight win, Aaron’s earnings accumulated to a few million.

Alex and the others persuaded Aaron to continue with his gambling. “You’re too lucky today, Aaron! Go on! Let’s go big! 10 million is easily achievable with your insane luck tonight!”

A gambling addict caught up in his moment of glory often lost his ability to think rationally. Aaron was confident he could bring home 10 million by the time he was done gambling that night.

Zoey and Levi were startled awake by the ringing from their phones in the middle of the night.

Caitlyn had dialed their numbers relentlessly.

Zoey was wide awake the moment she answered the call. “What? Oh my God!”

Her face went paper-white as the phone slipped out of her hand and fell onto the floor with a thud.

Levi asked immediately, “What’s wrong?”

Zoey sobbed. “Father went to the casino and lost 300 million. He’s being detained right now because he was caught cheating.”
