Cyrus
I’m the king. This is my castle, and if I had a throne, I’d be fucking sitting on it.
I set my cognac glass on the staircase’s banister, watching it teetering near the edge. Below me,
one of my subjects holds court in my mansion, no shits given, but once I descend the steps, he’ll
remember his place.
I own him.
I own everyone here.
Officially, my bank is the wealthiest private bank in the world. Unofficially, it is the gateway to
the underworld. Every penny earned by criminals passes through me. Unlike most of the banks on
Wall Street, I don’t pretend to be something I’m not. The money that lies in my vaults is dirty as fuck
because I don’t cater to a normal clientele.
No.
Mine is of a different breed.
The lowest dregs of life.
They are drug dealers. Gunrunners. They are the cartel and the mafia. At times, they are even the
shady politicians who run countries, and the trust fund babies who fuck up.
To them, I’m their savior. No more hiding bags of cash under their beds. Nope. Instead, they all
come to me to clean their money and, once it’s spotless, grow it.
Even though I’m technically one of them—a criminal—I can’t stand them. Although that really
means nothing, as I can’t stand anyone. But their cash is green. Fuck, theirs might be greener. A new
shade stained by the life taken to make it.
Tonight, the money they don’t deposit in my bank will be brought here instead. It will arrive dirty,
smeared with the sins from which they earned it, but by the time the evening ends, the tainted blood
will be gone, and they’ll leave with bills as clean as freshly washed laundry.
My house is ready, and the staff is prepared. The game will begin soon, so all I have to do now is
wait.
I hate this shit, but it’s a necessary evil. Here, I’ll learn secrets. Possess fortunes. I will amass an
empire.
This is my corrupt kingdom, where I am a god.
Time comes to a halt as I wait at the top of my stairs. My gaze drifts across the foyer as each guest
arrives. The crowd assembles in the center of the room, waiting for instructions, but really, they’re
waiting for the poker game to start.
Sometimes, I only observe. Sometimes, I don’t even bother to come down. I’m not always
needed. The fact that I host the game is enough to keep the players in line. Today, I’ll venture
downstairs.
I want to monitor a new guest who will be attending. Someone I have been luring for years. He
hasn’t arrived yet, but my sources say he has taken the bait. Once I have the opportunity, I’ll set the
trap.
As I wait, I notice a few unfamiliar faces that I need to vet before they can play. I can tell tonight
