I'll work hard, make more money than he ever could for you. "Please. Let's start over. Let's go back to how we were, okay?" Luke suddenly laughed, hand to his stomach. "Haha—wow. Get some self-awareness. In this lifetime, you're never making more than me." Philip shot him a glare. "Stella, rich guys like him won't cherish you. He's just messing around with you—"

"Sa'ada and I are going to spend the rest of our lives together happily. We don't need some- baggage from several years ago to show up suddenly and try to ruin our happily ever after. I've worked too hard to win her heart, and I am not about to let some spoilt Abuja boy come up and destroy what I've been planning for several months now. You either stay away from her, or you'll have to answer to me. And believe me when I say you don't want to cross a man like me, Adnan." "Good luck with your happily ever after," Adnan said before punching him right on the nose. Tahir staggered backwards, collapsing against the wall as blood began to spurt from his nostrils. "Good talk," Adnan said before he s

“A neat dose of lethal injection.” "What?" I looked at my wrist. “You got to fucking kidding me!” "How much time you left?" The man said inching closer to me taking a peek at my new watch. I gulped, "Two hours, thirty-two minutes," I answered. I got two fucking hours left on my life. What the hell I just stumbled upon? When would all the bad luck be gone? When I’m dead? "Win the fight and you'll get candy. It will replenish your time back to twenty-four hours. Win more fights and you'll earn privileges. It’s your choice though. Do you want to fight, eh?"

Chapter: Cracks in the Foundation Spencer leaned against the kitchen counter, sipping his coffee as he replayed his conversation with Yash in his mind. The tension between them was palpable, and Spencer wasn’t naive—he knew this wasn’t just about Yash’s feelings for Shelly. It was deeper, messier, a blend of jealousy and betrayal that could shatter their friendship if not handled delicately.

"'End of year?” Dave, who heard that, had a look of horror. He really didn't know what to say in this kind of situation, but he could feel his heart beating wildly. The end of the year is only a few months away, can he even do it? Not to mention Aini, who will soon be done with her apprenticeship. All he needs is time. Could he even increase his chances of winning? “Get out of here, or I will call campus security!” threatened Arjuna. He could feel Dave, whose breath was gasping with anger. However, before Leo could leave, Dave had already lunged at and choked Leo, still giving him a chance to breathe a little.

"There is a cycle of Karma and retribution. Whatever you sowed in the past. You'll get the same in the future" INSANE ... "True love was one thing. Living one's life was another matter. How deep would a love have to be to last for? An entire lifetime? At the most, the sweetness of love would last for a few years. The remaining years would deepen the couple's ability to get along with each other" INSANE's words fell into Arika's ears as she continued to throw up.

“You don’t have to decide right now. Just think about it. This could be your chance to settle the score and build a better life for yourself.” She looked at me, her expression a mix of doubt and anger. I could see the conflict in her eyes, the temptation warring with her sense of right and wrong. “Just keep this between us,” I added. “No one needs to know. Take your time to decide, but don’t wait too long.” She nodded slowly, still looking unsure, and I knew I’d planted the seed. As she walked away, I allowed myself a small, triumphant smile. The plan was in motion, and soon enough, Akira would get what she deserved in no time.

As for Tina, she could not fight back her rage and grief as she remembered how tragic Sophie's life was, and how Sophie had died young on top of that. Tina's eyes were red even as she cried, "Sophie had suffered from her illness for so long, and she was this close to becoming healthy… But Linda is so vile that she had to cut off Sophie's lifeline! Don't I have the right to take a life for a life?!" Henry could not answer as he was still caught in terrible shock, suddenly profoundly terrified that the kidney he had stolen for Linda was the same one meant for Sophie. But in Tina's eyes, his silence was further proof of him doubting her, leaving her clenching her knuckles in agony, her nails di

His eyes fell on her before he moved it to Maximus. “The lives of the ones we lost will be required from you. Today, we will settle the score. A life…for a life.” Julianne’s chest tightened. She could sense the brooding danger that was about to happen and it seems this one is more ruthless than Jordan because the others seem to answer to him.

After that incident, I desperately chased an imaginary ideal of perfection, only to realize at the end that I had been deceiving myself all along. "Back then, I was young and thought I needed to cling to some idea of love to make life meaningful. I later realized that what I felt couldn't really be called love." Sophia and I agreed on a three-year arrangement. If we felt we weren't compatible after three years, we would set each other free. As for why she had agreed to my proposal, she still hadn't told me. But in this lifetime, I had forever to find out. With our engagement settled, we scheduled the engagement party for next month. Both patriarchs wanted to follow proper protocol, so over t
