But a hint of a smile crept onto Allisonâs face, as if she was trying too hard to rein in her emotions. She couldnât mask the tiniest flash of excitement.
Amorâs eyes narrowed. âLooks like Lady Luckâs throwing you a bone this time, Miss Scarlet Snake.â
âAll bluff, no bite,â Allison mused aloud, a hint of satisfaction creeping onto her face. âStill, itâs better than last round.â She nudged a stack of chips forward, her casual gesture almost too casual.
Amor mirrored her move, adding her own chips to the growing pot without a second thought.
When the next three community cards were flipped over, Allisonâs gaze drifted toward Fay, who stood just behind Amor.
Fayâs lips began to curl upward, betraying her reaction â Amor had a formidable hand.
But Allisonâs face remained as calm as a still lake. She slid a significant pile of chips into the center. âRaise by one million.â The total pot now soared to over four million.
Allisonâs expression held a trace of barely concealed excitement, a spark that didnât escape Amorâs notice. Suspicion flickered across her face as she hesitated for a heartbeat.
Bluff? Or beginnerâs luck?
âCall,â Amor replied, squinting across the table.

The fifth community card flipped.
Amorâs cool demeanor shifted as she laid her hand flat on the table, her fingers tapping rhythmically as she assessed the situation.
With two Kings and the community cards, her hand now showed three Kings and a pair of Threes.
A powerful handâbut not a guarantee.
With an easy smile, Amor pushed forward another three million. âStill calling?â
Her words were breezy, relaxed â a psychological nudge to test Allisonâs nerves.
Allisonâs response was subtle but telling; she began to bite her lip, fidgeting with the corner of her cards, casting furtive glances at them as if caught in indecision. âLet me think.â
Whispers rippled through the onlookers.
Allisonâs novice play in the previous round had cost her dearly, yet here she was, betting aggressively once more. Did she have a trick up her sleeve?
Allison took a long breath, braced herself, and slid nearly her entire stack of chips forward. âRaise. Ten million!â
The crowd gasped, and the air buzzed with excitement as her words hit like a bombshell.
âAll-in! Is Amor going to take the bait?â someone murmured, and the room held its breath.
