John was an honest man, humble in his traits.

He inherited his father's family business a pastry on the corner of the town square, the "The sweet pastry".

When the pastry stopped in his hand, everything was going the wrong way, the dough was of poor quality, and the cakes had more than 3 days, and were displayed in the shop windows before being given to a beggar who was passing by.

Life was not easy, in fact the crisis began to knock on the door and John was thinking of selling the old pastry because it gave him more harm than profit, until one day while in the shop a beautiful woman appear and with a blink she  stole his heart. Sophie was her name, she was a beautiful blonde coming from the rich part of town, she saw the bakery on the corner of the square of the "poor area" and decided to enter to see how it looks like. She, too, at the first glance fell for John.

Together they rebuilt the pastry, and renewed basically all there was to renew John, was now the owner of one of the most beautiful pastries in the city, for him, even in the world, certainly his father, if alive, would be proud.

The years passed and John and Sophie built their family, they had two children, Jessica of 7, and Arthur of 5, both completely healthy, intelligent, everything a father could ask for. John's life was just perfect, the perfect woman, two perfect children the perfect job, what could be missing? Nothing!

Until…

One day the most perfect and warm woman walked in to the front door of the shop, was a long red hair with, the must perfect and silkier lips than you can imagine, had firm and large breasts and, her waist it was perfect with her red dress that had a split, that left her leg fully on display, those long slender legs and they would put any man who looked completely crazy for them. She was known as Lady Luck.

Apparently she was the owner of a new casino that had appeared recently in the city. She was there to invite him, has all the owners of large well-known restaurants and bars in town for a game. But it was no ordinary game, the winner takes it all. The bet? The pastry. Obviously John just said no, but those sea-blue eyes, ohhh, they had such and angelic look and especially that fancy cleavage made him change his mind.

So this was how John lost all.

 John, he had it all, family, home, food on the table, love. Now? ....
JOHN HAS NOTHING NOW!
