    "The House Always Wins..." CHAPTER 1 $20,000, 1 month, 1 lie; twenty thousand dollars; one month to earn it; all I have to do is live a lie. How hard can that be, huh? Well, we're about to find out, dear diary. Do you know the saying "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas"? You probably do. If you didn't; you know it now, and I'm about to break that tradition by writing down what happened to me, and also what is to come in the near future. ********** It started a week ago, when I r

    CHAPTER 6 His home, a private suite on the top floor of the hotel, was an unexpected surprise. I half expected it to be a sterile, masculine place with a lot of glass and little color, like his office. What I found instead was a home, not unlike the one I'd been kicked out of, cozy and warm, but more luxurious than I was used to. It could only be reached by the private elevator, accessed from downstairs. There were three buttons inside; ‘residence', ‘office', and ‘lobby'; a key-card was need

    CHAPTER 5 "Here, drink this," Mr. Black said, pouring a glass of golden liquid from a crystal decanter and handing it over to me. "You look like you could use it." I took the glass and swallowed it in one gulp, realizing too late that that wasn't the smartest thing to do. My throat constricted and I almost couldn't breathe, and started to cough and thump my chest. Mr. Black softly began to laugh. "Little sips, that's the key." "Thanks," I coughed, when the constricted feeling subsided. "

    CHAPTER 4 He took a hold of my elbow again, tightly as a vise. I tried to yank it free, but I might as well have saved me the trouble; he didn't let go, even tightening his grip a little more. "Jesus, who are you; Hulk Hogan?" I groaned softly and he released his grip a bit. The strides he took had me almost jogging beside him, and I was a little out of breath by the time we arrived in what was clearly his office. We had to take a private elevator up to get there, and when the doors ope

    CHAPTER 7 "Okay," Michael said, later that night, "now we get to the more...personal matters. Habits, past acquaintances..." We had moved from the bar to the sofas, with him sitting opposite from me, and he'd taken off his jacket, loosened his tie and rolled up his sleeves. He had a snifter of cognac in front of him; I had a can of Cherry Coke, which he had ordered with dinner, eating here instead of downstairs. "Okay..." I answered, slowly. Oh boy. Not a topic I enjoyed talking abou

    CHAPTER 8 The next day was...aggravating. It might have had something to do with his mother's impending arrival (I think that was part of it), but a word to the wise; don't ever go shopping for clothes with Michael Black. Jesus, what a disaster. It was around 10am when we went out to the first store, where I was shown a whole parade of designer (not to mention completely hideous) clothing in a private dressing room. I dismissed pretty much every item they came to show me, which irritated M
