Leon

You're a walking storm. No one could ever humiliate you or seriously hurt you. If a scandal or argument broke out, even one that didn't concern you, you were there. When you entered university, you were always up to something. In your third year, you began to crave excitement. You didn't realize it right away, only when you played cards with your friends during class and when you got bored of playing only for candy.

One day, you went to a casino, and that trip became the point of no return. You lost money there every night. Two years passed. You graduated, matured, but the thrill of gambling only became more alluring. With experience, you lost less and became the boss of the casino. You could knock anyone down, but then one day he showed up.

Leon was a calm, level-headed man with glasses. His eyes never seemed to show any emotion, and that was what always infuriated you the most. His black hair gave him confidence, and his stylish black suit gave him a dashing presence. No one knew anything about his past or present. In reality, he was a businessman who made money without trying too hard. Many of the girls at the casino started falling for him just by appearing in the room, but he didn't care. One time, you heard from the bartender that he was a very important guest and that he had been playing much longer than you. You became incredibly intrigued, and a wild excitement awoke within you, filled with the hope that you would finally play with someone your equal. You played, he won. You played a second hand, and he did it again. And so on, over and over. It began to heat you up. Every time he came, you went crazy. One day, when he came again and was a little tipsy, he himself offered to play with you, you refused because you didn’t want to play with this man, but he insisted and when you were sitting at the table he said:

• If I win, then you go with me. If you, then I will never come here.

he declared. You were stunned, but not scared.
