But wait, did David just say that Ethan placed a bet of five million dollars??? I knew David didn't have the money to match that stake and I could feel an icy hand start climbing up my spine. If he played that game, what did he place as stake to match it? Anxiety suffocated and clawed at my chest. The tension in the room was palpable as I tried to make out what could've been David's bet. What if he had staked our house? Where would we go? "What did you stake?" I finally got the courage to ask him His eyes avoided mine and I could feel that something was wrong. "David, what did you stake?" I asked again, this time a bit more pushy than the first time. The silence was deafening. I turned to look at Ethan who was looking at David as if he too was waiting for David to say it from his own mouth. After what seemed like an eternity of silence, Ethan finally spoke up. He turned to me and said it bluntly to my face with no emotion whatsoever on his face, "You. He placed you as his stake," Ethan remarked. I could see his grin come back to his face as he turned and looked at David I couldn't believe my ears. This had to be a prank. There was no way that David would hate me so much that he would place me, his own wife, as a stake in a game of poker. I felt like I lost my sense of hearing. I looked at David in disbelief thinking of what I could've done to possibly deserve this. What happens when the man who Emily married plays a high stakes game of poker and looser her to a billionaire?
