The Bound Between Us

Chapter 82

Anastasia thought mentioning that she was married would dispel his interest in her. But Blake just laughed harder, This is hilarious! I’ve toyed around with a lot of dames, but never a married one. Frels fresh, quite the thrill” He was beyond creepy

Anastasia’s anger was like a simmering pot she had to keep a lid on since she couldn’t afford the repercussions of letting it boil over. That was the rule of the jungle

Forcing a smile, she said, “You’re a real joker” She then turned to Everlee. “We’ll chat about the jewelry design details some other day. I won’t bug you guys any longer. If she couldn’t fight back, she’d evade. But, as it turned out, she couldn’t do that either.

“My beauty, you think you can just waltz out of here? That’s adorable.” Blake blocked her path, tapping his nose. “You’ve gotta pay the piper. You can leave, but play a game with me. If you win, you’re free. If you lose, you leave with me”

Anastasia knew she was stuck. If she agreed, win or lose, she wouldn’t get away

Lauren was furious, “Blake, dont push it. She’s my friend, and she’s married. She’s not one of us; she won’t have any ulterior motives. We’re just here for Everlee.”

Blake signaled someone, and then two men escorted Lauren away

“Ms. Lauren, let’s move the party elsewhere.”

“Sure, let’s go.”

Lauren was taken away. Of course, given Lauren’s background, they wouldn’t harm her. Anastasia didn’t need to worry about her. She needed to worry about herself

Anastasia’s heart was pounding as she watched the onlookers, but she tried her best to stay composed.

“You want to play a game? Then I’ll set the stakes and rules.”

Blake laughed, not phased at all, “No problem.” This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Anastasia glanced at the nearby dartboard and said, “Let’s play that.”

Blake grinned at the mention of darts, Are you sure?

Someone chimed in, “Blake’s an ace at darts. No one here can beat him.

“She’s practically delivering herself into Blake’s bed

“I bet thats her goal. Women, always playing hard to get

Anastasia ignored the chatter, looking straight at Blake, I’m sure. But I raise the stakes. If I win, not only can I leave, but I also want you to put in a good word for me with Everlee. Give me a chance to discuss the jewelry design details”

Blake glanced at Everlee, who despite seeming displeased, agreed, “No problem.”

Anastasia had detected something between Everlee and Blake, which was why she used Blake to influence Everlee.

Anastasia walked up to the dartboard, picked up a dart, and approached Blake.

“Blake, you go first. Everyone knows you’re a hotshot at darts, so a bit of a challenge shouldn’t be a problem. If you can hit the dartboard from that spot, I’ll admit defeat, and you can punish me.”

Blake looked over and noticed that Anastasia pointed to a spot two meters away.

For Blake, this distance was a joke. He usually threw darts from five meters away. This wasn’t a challenge; it was making it easier.

Blake wasn’t pleased, “As a man, I can’t bully you too much. I’ll

Blake stood on the throwing line five meters away.

Anastasia responded with a poker face, “No problem.”

and here. If I hit it, you’re mine tonight

Though Anastasia seemed indifferent, she was actually quite nervous. She was gambling.

A group of rich kids gathered around, all thinking Blake would undoubtedly win this game

Before Blake threw, he raised an eyebrow at Anastasia, oozing confidence as he threw the dart. The moment the dart left his hand, Anastasia’s heart skipped a beat.
