A Golden Opportunity Novels & Stories

For instance, just by glancing at the diamond necklace which was now firmly gripped in his hand, he knew that he could easily sell it for nothing less than fifty thousand dollars, and that was if he wasn’t patient enough. Boy, had he hit the jackpot! Who would have thought that he, who barely had enough money for booze after feeding himself would be having this kind of money out of the blues? Definitely not him, that was for sure. He sat there in his idling car for a long time, not really sure what he was doing, but he just didn’t want to go home yet. He must have been there for more than an hour when another luxury car drove up to the gates of the mansion and disappeared into the house. The

The job meant a lot to me, and while I wanted Gracie right on top with me, I didn’t want anyone to doubt that we were the best recruits they had. I wanted that bright future Kaden and Ryan talked to me about. I wanted it so much I could almost taste it. But I also knew this industry was tough and mistakes were made. If I got everything he needed from me finished this weekend, I might have one “get out of jail free” card when I finally did make a mistake.

I’m not ready to have a serious relationship yet. Damien is a perfect man indeed, Jamie can say that his every woman’s dream but she can’t give him hope… Jamie never knows if she can give him the love he deserves. “Why are you so scared to gamble? Why don’t you give yourself a chance to be loved and give love in return…” Diane said as she gave me the “Why don’t you try to look” and Give yourself a chance… “Don’t push it too hard… I believe love comes at an unexpected time! You know what, let not just discuss this. Will just end up arguing again, I don’t want to ruin this travel..”

"You think it's unusual, don't you, daughter?" I dragged my eyes from the sight and turned to him, then replied. "You did say the moon hasn't shined this brightly in a hundred years." He leaned towards me as though sharing a secret, then whispered in my ear. "Maybe the Moon Goddess is also celebrating with you. It's your Turning Feast, after all." I snorted. "Since when has the Moon Goddess ever cared about the affairs of one single person?" My father laughed. "You've always been a feisty one. Good thing you've Turned now. It's high time we found you a man who would be able to tame you. Perhaps Alpha Alexander over there?" He pointed.

The ninety-eighth time, she indulged him after he killed our child. The ninety-ninth time, she indulged him and helped him evade justice. Vivian Blake really had only one chance left. The exhaust dust pulled me back to reality. Caleb once said he could only sit in the passenger seat, and he only didn't get carsick when Vivian drove. "Then let's use one chance. You can take a cab anyway." Ever since I nodded that time, Vivian's car had become his private ride. She no longer needed to ask me even once.

LIAM'S POV I grew up hearing the phrase, “Opportunities come but once.” People said it like it was the ultimate truth. I believed it too, for a long time. But the older I got, the more I realized that wasn’t true. Opportunities are everywhere. Every single day, life throws them at you. The thing is… you have to be ready for them. If you’re not, they slip right past you. Just like that. Pointing a gun at Daniel’s head… that was one of those moments. An opportunity. A test. And believe me, I was ready.

Andrew chuckled and said, "No pressure. Even if, down the line, you decide not to work with us or you don't want to handle orders this big, I'd understand. Right now, our products are all investment and no return. No one knows if they'll actually sell. If they flop, that's a massive loss!" He added, "But let me remind you—golden opportunities don't come around every day. When the market is hot, the smart ones soar. Those who hesitate and miss their chance? Well, they'll just be watching from the sidelines."

Paul said to them, “Firstly, I have to tell you that you've come at the right time. The Seymour family is not very protective of the Prescription of Golden Medicine. If you'd like to have it, there’s a chance.” Damian was ecstatic. However, Thomas was thinking. Paul said “a chance,” so it was not that they could take it back with them now. Meaning, there had to be a catch. It was like buying a lottery ticket. Each ticket came with a chance to win $5,000,000, but how many people could actually win it? That was the important point. Paul continued to say, “But, your ability will determine whether you can have the Prescription of Golden Medicine or not.”

It was a reminder I didn’t need that things were going terribly wrong. The phone rang again and it was Talciro. I almost let it go to voicemail but I changed my mind at the last second. “Luca,” he said, his voice smooth as oil. It was so smooth it grated on every last one of my fucking nerves. “Have you made your decision? The gold won’t wait around forever. You know that.” I leaned back, pinched the bridge of my nose. “My decision’s the same.” “You don’t want to miss this. Opportunities like this… I thought you’d finally seen reason by now.”

“For a small donation, you receive a blessing from the Golden God, and premium treatment. Gold Star members have access to the priority lounge.” What god doesn’t love a backhander? Not that there’s anything wrong with having money and using it to your advantage. Otherwise, what’s the point of being rich? The problem has always been when those with money use it to block those without. It’s like if you won the lottery, and then used your winnings to buy the numbers four, five and six. Everyone else still had a chance to win, as long as those three numbers didn’t come up, but it’s indisputably a dick move.
