"The missing load. Sloppy, Luciano." "I’ve got it handled." His eyes gleamed. "You always say that. Until you're the one lying in the casket." "I'm not the one who faked a peace treaty and then poisoned the wine." He chuckled. "War is about illusions. You used to understand that." "I still do," I said darkly, stepping closer. "Which is why I know this visit isn’t just about business." He leaned back, tapping ash into the crystal tray. “You're losing your grip. The Ravellis are inching toward the docks. You’ve grown soft. Distracted.”

“I don't care. She bruised my ego and the moment I found out she was your daughter. I knew she was already mine. I have a couple lessons to teach her.” “She's not a part of this,” Rivera whispered, his chubby hands clenching into fists. “She's a good girl, she doesn't deserve a life like yours. She's not like—” “I know exactly what she is. Your way out of debt and death.” Azrael cut in harshly rising again. He placed a tablet on the table and slid it across to the wide eyed older man. “That's the agreement. You sign this and your debt disappears.” Senator Rivera stared at the tablet like it might physically attack him. Was he really going through with selling his daughter to save himself? He

“And I gotta say, boss, it was sweet to see Dan's head rolling on the floor. Just like they did to our boss” Margaret eyes flickered, a hint of annoyance crossing her face. She didn't like her men to get to cocky, too confident. It made them sloppy, and sloppy was something she couldn't afford. Before she could respond, another man entered the room, a look of concern etched on his face. “Boss, we have a problem”. Margaret's gaze shifted to the new arrival. “What is it?” The man began explaining, “The people we just raided, they're not just any ordinary players. They've been in the business for a long time, and they're not going to take this lying down”.

“You can have someone else find him for you, and pay the four hundred billion dollars, because no one's going to find him in two days for you except me” “Fifty-five” he bargained. “Sixty is my final say, one more bargain and it's all your assets” He chuckled, darkly, with a hint of amusement. “That's why I like you Hilton, you're the man to get the job done.” Passing the photo to Liam without a word, “My lawyer will prepare a contract, I’ll contact you when it’s done.” I didn’t wait for a response, I walked out, Liam following closely behind.

She knew without a doubt who stood on the other side—it was James Carter her husband and John Harrison, the family’s trusted lawyer and confidant. “Come in, James,” Mr. Carter called, his voice steady despite the turmoil within. James entered the room, his expression grave. “Mrs. Carter?” he began, “ Don’t worry about it, say it with her in the room” Mr. Carter said ,“I’m afraid that I bring troubling news.” Said John “Although we’ve successfully claimed sixty-five percent of the shares, I’m afraid the Russos wont leave without a fight and to keep the company running, we will be needing a permanent investor”.

I shook my head, “No boss. But I would love to apologise and make a promise. I know that he might have delayed but i would love to take my father’s debts upon me,” “Interesting….” “My father is old, and well….i do not have any excuses for him. On his behalf, I am so sorry and I promise that I am going to personally pay off the debts, but all I need is a little time, and your men off my father’s back.” “What exactly are you asking for?” “Let us call it a transfer of aggression. I will be the one owing you, not my father.” He didn't speak for a minute and my knees were already burning from the carpet but I did not complain.

“We can both agree we didn’t know things would and could get this intense between us. The potential was there, but I obviously doubted your appeal. The contract can be amended. “I like it just fine. Mr Crowe.” “What would it take to make you change your mind? I want you to be honest.” He looked determined enough. I bit my lip contemplating “On the off chance that i wanted this…the way you speak to me would have to change entirely.” “What’s wrong with the way i talk.” Now he just looked amused. “The fact that you don’t see anything wrong with negotiating my body like it’s a business is a problem.” “ Through negotiation things are clear: there are no unwanted expectations at the end of our arr

“Thank you. Cenric values the women in his life, and it now makes sense to me why he supports our advocacy. It’s great to meet you, Sadie.” “My pleasure.” When the auction started, we settled into the table in the front. Cas and important figures in finance joined us at the table. “Can I bid?” I asked drily. His brow cocked up. His hand was on my thigh. “Wanna make it 26?” I looked at him in disinterest. Just a slight curve appeared on his lips before he said, “Of course. The proceedings will go to the charity.” “But you know I don’t have money.”
