Book One For The Money Novels & Stories

When I inquired about the pricing, I was told to look in the back. The cost of the item was ten dollars. I attempted to bargain for a lower price. I gave a price of $5. She glanced at me and said, "Handsome, you don't have any money, bring the $5." She simultaneously collected the money and the book. She wrapped it and offered it to me, then took out her card and urged me to take it, but I was bored since she talked too much.

The applause was thunderous, and for the first time in weeks, Sophia felt a sense of triumph. --- A Sudden Blow But the victory was short-lived. As Sophia and Lucas mingled with the attendees, Chris approached with a grim expression. “We have a problem,” he said, handing them a tablet. The screen displayed a breaking news headline: “Scandal at Muller Corp: Sean Muller’s Shady Deals Resurface.” Sophia’s heart sank as she read the article. It detailed a questionable business deal her father had made years ago, twisting the facts to imply that Sophia had benefited from it.

She had let him pay again because her purchases had cost only 550 silver coins, while he had to pay 35 gold coins for her books. The book on flames was the only one that really cost money because she could have simply borrowed the others and returned them within 15 days at the Academy library, but they could also be purchased and Cassy had chosen this option because she was sure that her parents would love to have this kind of books, and so while the one talking about the flames had cost 20 gold coins, the others had cost 5 gold coins each. Steven then said to her, bringing her out of her thoughts, "Do you mind if we go check out the armory, we still have some time before to join the others

The chips had finished. “And I was craving some,” I cried. It looked like God heard my cry because I saw a boy carrying a cart filled with ten packets of chips. It’s because of people like him that others couldn’t buy chips. He couldn’t even leave one. I followed him silently, but he seemed to notice someone was following him and turned around. I quickly turned left and pretended to look at the items there. “Oh my gosh, this thing is so expensive. Can’t they reduce the price? This supermarket has expensive things. I can’t buy this,” I said, turning back. The boy had already left.

I was so over this crap, I just wanted Charlie back in my arms, it was horrible with her being so far away “You are supposed to be my brother, do you not want to help me?” “It’s not that I don’t want to help, I just think we might be falling into a trap” Kayla comes quickly into the office carrying a large book, she looks flustered as she slams the open book down on the table sending bits of dust everywhere and making me cough. Kayla apologises and asks if we have heard about the one to rule them all. I look at Alexander and he looks just as puzzled as me “What do you mean the one to rule them all?”

I regretted not accepting the money Max offered me, it would have at least paid my overdue bills. I reclined back to my old condition, I even took up drinking,with everyday of my life feeling like a challenge of life and death. Until a week later when I decided to cut my hair and assume a new identity. There was a vacancy in the coffee shop downtown, I would be alright again, pick the pieces of my life again. ONE MONTH LATER

“Hope you have enough money saved up cause this would be the last taste of luxury you’d have in the next millennial “ my mother sneered “No you can’t pull out the investment nnttt “ Mr Smith stammered “We just signed a ten billion dollar worth deal and you pulling out would mean we’d have to pay back and that could cost us the company” “correction, you would have to pay back not we cause the Woods are closing all business with your family and reasons being a breach in contract, if you have any complaints you can take it to my lawyer and if that isn’t enough for you then how about a lawsuit then, that way your family would be completely destroyed” Dad added then walked out with my mum and me

Most of them were just half baked and cliche novels, none of them which caught my eye, except for a select few, some rare gems. “These are the ones I want to buy. How much would my money be?” I dropped five books onto the counter and fished in through my purse. He told me the amount and I gave him, even going as far as to add a tip as well, to which he gratefully responded. “Well, it was nice doing business with you,” I said lightly, already arranging the books together, ready to go back home, when the man stopped me from doing so. “You are that new traveler, right? The one with the tough mate?” He asked, his tone raspy.

Sex. His hands were absolutely sinful. They were secretly rubbing his palm over my thigh and gave me that look in his eyes that he wanted it badly. I stiffened my body as soon as I feel him subtly groping my crotch in front of many people in this pub. He whispers to my ears, “Don’t worry I will pay you.” Money, I needed money to go back home. Even if my hands would get dirty, I would do it. “How much?” I asked. Calvin smiles, “How much are you?”
