“During the banquet, announce that every single cooperation with the grahams would be withdrawn and the contracts terminated. The greys have no business with the grahams anymore” “Yes sir” he said as he bowed. “And announce that any family that continues to work with them would be seen as an enemy to the greys and would be blacklisted. I want everyone to pull out their investments” Jason sat in the back of the car, holding Katie, like she was a fragile art piece which could break at the slightest touch. He looked at both Ethan and Katie affectionately, his eyes said, they were his most priced possessions. Ethan laid on Katie’s lap, snuggling closer as he slept. The sound of his phone ringing

So, doesn't it make sense for you to pay a bigger share? What? This was the first time I'd ever heard of team-building costs being split according to each employee's salary. On top of that, Veronica looked so entitled that I almost thought that I was being unreasonable. Had I been paying a bigger share of our team-building expenses this entire time? "You're not arguing with me over such a small amount of money, are you?" she asked with a look of disdain. Of course I was. Did I look like a fool to her? After eyeing me up and down, she suddenly pretended to look shocked. She dramatically put a hand over her mouth and said, "I'm so sorry! I forgot that you're out of a job. I suppose three thous

~LEXI~ “One wrong move, and I was dead.” The thought flashed through my mind as I stepped inside the Esposito mansion. The mansion glowed under the night sky, too perfect, too calm for the danger hidden inside. It felt like a trap, the kind of place where power and secrets mixed, and one mistake could cost me everything.

I close the drapes again and slouch back onto the sofa, tossing my book over my head. I have never been wildly popular or even popular. I was someone who would prefer having my nose buried under my books because I was determined to be someone one day. Someone with power in this world. I was okay with not having the teenage experience, I knew one day it would be worth it. It also seemed very overrated. I mean, who wants to regret the decisions you made for the rest of your life. So I always played on the safe side. One of the reasons why I'm still a Virgin. I'd hate looking back at my first time regretting it and feeling embarrassed about it.

Even so, how was this enough to avenge Jeremy's death? I sent some money to a person. … The next day, Francis was released from prison. Then, someone approached him and led him into gambling, letting him win in the beginning. Slowly, he won hundreds and thousands of dollars. The most he'd gotten in one night was a million dollars. He thought that he was the "Chosen One", destined to always win. Just as he really got into the habit of gambling, he began losing. In order to win back the money he lost, he sold his car and house and even sold the gifts that Benedict had given Yvonne before to sell for funds.

I stared at the mask she was holding for a while, before grabbing it. This is bullshit. Total bullshit. I am going to walk into the office and cancel my surrogacy contract. I can't afford to birth in a place where rules are given out like free sandwiches. With a heavy sigh, I pushed the door open and walked in. My mouth fell open when I saw the Man sitting so comfortably on the armless chair. He wasn't just a regular CEO. No, he wasn't. He was dressed in this casual T-shirt, the sleeves wrapped tightly around his arms causing me to gulp in. I couldn't see his face, but I can tell he would definitely acquire the features of a Mafia ruthless boss in the books I read.

Kane said nothing. His father studied him. "You're too expensive to get shot over something routine. Your time, your exposure, your position — all of it carries a cost that a small shipment cannot justify. That isn't sentiment, it's arithmetic." He looked away briefly toward the window, then back. "When I was younger my father used to say something I didn't appreciate until much later. He said — if you're going to risk yourself, make sure what you're risking yourself for deserves your blood. Because once you're gone, the thing you died protecting had better have been worth everything that comes after." His eyes remained calm. "That shipment wasn't worth it. Whatever happened in that room, wh

Later on, he confessed what he thought the moment he met my mother, "I was afraid you would think I was not good enough for you." After learning about my background, he worked himself to the bone and pushed his body to the limit. He fought tooth and nail to enter the high society circle of Newark City. He even spent $100 million to build me a manor. What was it that he said again? He once expressed to me that his sole purpose in life was the ambition to transform into a man who truly deserved to be by my side. "Miss?" I opened my eyes abruptly. The throbbing pain in my heart was choking the breath out of me.

I inched closer to the bed, one hand resting on the railing. “You’re serious,” I whispered. “Yes.” “Why does it feel like there is more?” I asked. His eye softened slightly. “Because you’re not stupid. Alaric isn’t someone you attack once. You must hurt him in stages. Money. Men. Reputation. Fear. Each move should cost him more than it costs us.” I raised a brow. “Us?”
