His Bet to Take

If someone owes me money, I take their life.
I don’t play games. I win them.
It’s how I own this island. It’s how I’m the wealthiest and most feared.
Nothing can take that from me.
Until I’m offered her.
Her brother owed me thousands and in exchange, gave me his sister to clear his name.
The moment I saw her picture, I knew she was meant to be mine.
Nothing can stop me.
She’s mine to take.
And anyone who gets in my way?
I’ll feed to the sharks.

*This is a very short novella with a happily ever after!
