Bargainer Series Novels & Stories

Mark arrived with his legal team, his expression smug as he exchanged whispers with his lawyers. Sophia and Lucas entered shortly after, their presence commanding as they took their seats. The proceedings began, and Mark’s lawyers presented their case with precision, painting Sean’s agreements as manipulative and unethical. They argued that the merger was built on a shaky foundation, one that needed to be revisited for the sake of fairness. When it was their turn, Sophia and Lucas’s legal team dismantled the arguments piece by piece, presenting evidence of the merger’s legitimacy and the progress it had enabled.

“There are only two bargains I am asking. First, when we were married, whenever my family or yours visited, you acted like a proper wife and cooked food.” Is he serious? “What? I don’t know how to cook!” “Second, when I am asking for you, you will be there, no complain, just be there,” he continued ignoring my question. “I disagree with the cooking, Zach. I am not a chief!” I complained. His shoulder lifted a bit. “Learn how to cook. A bargain is a bargain.” And he had the victory smile again. I gritted my teeth and smiled contrived. “You are right. A bargain is a bargain,” I drew, accentuating the words.

Tony's hand rested on my shoulder and I subtly brushed it off. “I want you to give your best for her, now what are we starting with?” Hands shot up, prices ringing from every corner of the room. “One hundred dollars.” “Two hundred!” “Three hundred dollars!” I gritted my teeth, stopping an eye-roll and forcing a smile as the bids climbed. “Come on gentlemen, is this the best you can do for my fine lady?” Tony was obviously enjoying this. He loves making a profit off of me. “Give me your best shot.” He charges the crowd.

The man seemed serious this time. Adriana gasped loudly… "My kids? Where are they?" She asked with an angered tone. The man on the other side kept laughing… "Tell me where are my kids?" "I will tell you the address and all you have to do is to come to the address, alone to meet me and take back your kids." The man stated. "This isn't that easy… What do you want?" Adriana knew that the man wasn't playing and he wouldn't leave her kids without bargaining anything.

He said smiling brightly, Rafael rolled his eyes, if only he could say the same for him and Nicole. "It will be nice if you take my advice and just you know do something instead of running away like a coward," "Wanna fight?" He asked moving out of the kitchen back to the sitting room. "Okay, let's fight it out, Rafael Salvador, age Thirty-three, self-made billionaire and almost a trillionaire, wanna fight, Caleb, a no surname fellow with pennies in his account, that is an honor kind, sir," Caleb said dramatically, the dude was hopeless. "Caleb really? You are penniless? The last I checked your family is loaded.

"I was wondering what you'd do now that Knox doesn't look like he is done with you. He just began, but oh… you seem to have something precious of his and I think you should give it back if you don't want things to go further south." He tilted his head to the side like he didn't believe what I had just said. I stood my ground, refusing to show panic. "Are you trying to bargain with me?" He sounded insulted. "Bargain? No. It's the only resolution my pity has — to stand and watch a son humiliate his father." He scoffed in response. His gaze held a new seriousness and something quite too dark to name. His jaw tightened before his lips moved. "Let me treat you to lunch at my place and we'll discu

“Noah, please let us stay a little longer, okay? Once we find a cheaper place, we’ll move out right away. “We really have no money left. Noah, please. We just need a little more time. The kids have nowhere else to go.” I gestured for the bodyguards to start moving their things out. When Mark grew anxious, I grabbed him and lowered my voice. “Mark, the company issued an announcement. It said your base salary and benefits over the past three years added up to more than nine hundred thousand. “And this is what you call not easy? “You should know that if it weren’t for you, that nine hundred thousand would have been mine.

They weren’t sure why I was here, but I could see the gears turning in their heads. I leaned back in my chair, fingers tapping against the polished wood of the table. “Let’s make this simple,” I began, my tone calm and confident. “I’m here to buy.” The chairman, a man in his late sixties with a neatly trimmed beard, raised an eyebrow. “Mr. Hollandale, our company isn’t for sale.” “Everything is for sale,” I said with a faint smirk. “It’s just a matter of price.” A younger board member, probably in his early thirties, leaned forward. “With all due respect, Mr. Hollandale, what exactly are you planning to do with our company? We’ve been doing well on our own.”

“Because I know you, Carina. And because you suck at negotiating. Like, seriously, you’re the worst.” I rolled my eyes. “I am not that bad.” Lisa burst out laughing. “Oh, you are. You’d probably offer up your car and your dignity just to get on someone’s good side.” I groaned. “Okay, okay. Maybe I’m not the best at it.” Lisa wiped fake tears from her eyes. “Not the best? Girl, you’d walk into a room trying to bargain and leave with less than you came in with.” I sighed, slumping back against the seat. “Fine. Whatever. But I wasn’t gonna make any deals. I was just… checking things out.”

I know I shouldn't be saying this in my state but this man is gorgeous, and, aside from the fact that he was handsome, he also had this look of arrogance as he glanced at his watch every second like he had no time to waste here. He walked in slowly and stood behind the door. "Who..who are you?" I asked awakening myself from the lustful thoughts I have of him already. He took a glance at the paper in his hands and then moved closer to me. "Hazel Carter..." He called, his voice sounding so deep. I listened attentively and waited for him to complete his sentence.
