His Unveiled Passion

Torin was the one who drew the Joker card this round. He swept his gaze across the room before he said, "Three of Spades, pick someone of the opposite sex and declare your love for them."

"Who pulled the Three of Spades?" Quentin asked.

Everyone looked at the card in their hands before Sienna raised her hand slowly, reminiscent of a student raising their hand to answer a teacher's question. She said softly, "It's me."

Torin was stunned for a moment. What a coincidence! He had only given the command on a whim and was at a loss for what to do.

Sienna was a quiet and reserved person, so she wasn't really suited for these types of bold declarations. He didn't want to put her in a tight spot, so he said, "What if we changed the command? I can think of something else."

"No need," Sienna answered in a neutral voice. "I can play, just like everyone else."

She looked around at the people present after she was done speaking. Stephen and Quentin were definitely out of the question. They were her best friends' boyfriends, after all. Even if it was just a game, she should steer clear of them.

Her best option would be Henry. They were siblings, so no one would take her confession seriously if she declared her love to him. However, she hesitated when her gaze fell on Samantha, who was seated next to Henry.

Torin's command had been to declare her love. Even if they were blood-related, it didn't feel right for Sienna to "confess" her love to Henry right in front of Samantha.

Sienna was a wise person who knew where the boundaries were. She wouldn't do anything that would make Samantha upset.

In the end, she was left with only two options-Lester or Torin. Her gaze alternated between the two of them. As the seconds ticked by, Torin could feel anticipation creeping sneakily into his heart.

Sienna only hesitated for a moment more before she made her decision. She locked gazes with Torin. Although she was nervous, she still managed to stammer out, "I... I like you. Will you go out with me?"

Torin's heart was doing somersaults

in his chest Even though he knew that it was all an act, he still couldn't stop his lips from curling upward. Mirth sparkled in his eyes, and his voice was gentle when he answered, "Yes, I will."

"Thank you," Sienna said with a nod.noveldrama

Everyone present assumed that the conversation had only occurred

because of the game. They

assumed that Torin had only answered to go along with Sienna.

Only Torin himself and Tessa knew that he was being completely sincere.

The game moved on to the next round with Marissa's friend, Summer, drawing the Joker card. She shot a mischievous grin at Marissa before announcing, "Ace of Hearts, kiss Mr. Jacobson passionately for ten minutes."

The bustling atmosphere suddenly fell silent as they wondered if Summer had some screws loose in her head. She had actually name-dropped Stephen directly to have someone kiss him?

Stephen and Bruno had caused quite the commotion earlier on the deck, yet here Summer was, willingly impaling herself on the blade. There was no way that she didn't know Stephen and Tessa were together.

The atmosphere turned awkward. It was so quiet in the spacious lounge that one could hear a pin drop.

"Who drew the Ace of Hearts? Step up right now!" Summer demanded gleefully, seemingly completely oblivious to the strange atmosphere that had blanketed the room.

Marissa recalled the cheeky grin that Summer had aimed at her earlier and came to a belated realization. She brushed her fingers over the back of her card and noticed a small fold protruding from the paper.

Someone had made a mark on this particular card. In addition, Summer had been the one to shuffle and deal the cards.
