My mind raced, uncertainties and what-ifs coming at me from all angles. Then, I remembered how he described this game to me.
Murder, seduction, and manipulation.
I was the worst possible candidate for this. I didn’t commit murder, and I was half unstable as it was. “I can’t play,” I shook my head. “I’m not a killer.”

When I looked back at him, he had a knowing smirk on his face.
“I hate you,” I muttered.
“No, amada, that’s not true. While you were busy being a pawn, I was busy making you fall in love.”

I exhaled a shaky breath I hadn’t realized I was holding. Looking down at my lap, I tore the ribbon off the box and lifted the top off.
“What am I supposed to do with this?” I questioned the empty room.
Inside was a beautiful, special made card.
It rested in a small glass frame that was cushioned by dope and none other than shiny, round polished diamonds.
It was a deep blue with a diamond in the center. I knew exactly what it represented. The queen of diamonds–me personified as a game piece. Four Q’s with little crowns framed the centerpiece. I looked for a note that would explain some miraculous alternative as to why he gave it to me but there was nothing, only a small white tag attached to one of the polished stones
