Daniella was bouncing her leg under the desk, waiting. “There’s an attachment too,” she said. “Initial brief, a few numbers, nothing detailed yet. But… based on the budget range…” She whistled low.

I came to Vane Capital to destroy the man who murdered my father’s legacy. But I didn't expect to be caught mid-hack by Julian Vane himself. ​Now, I’m his 'Golden Captive'—blackmailed into a deadly game of corporate espionage. Locked in his penthouse, I’m forced to work inches away from the man I swore to ruin. But as bullets fly and the real traitor emerges from the shadows, I realize that Julian isn't the monster I memorized. He’s a victim of the same conspiracy that crushed my family. ​In a world of blood and binary, the line between revenge and desire is razor-thin.

The AI companion boasted by G-phone to help users was only as good as a dumbed-down version of the Google assistant. Eventually Tynan had to excuse himself to go back to work. Before he went, Laura gave him a list of things to shop for, including the light bulb. Tynan was slightly surprised, he didn't know if e-ghosts needed food but it would make sense that they would still require some kind of offering, right? Happy that he could do something to repay his friend for helping him out with his unhealthy lifestyle, Tynan decided that he could afford to splurge a little.

Close enough that I had to tilt my chin to keep looking at his face. “I don’t fuck ghosts, Ardyn,” he said softly. “I don’t buy replacements.” Then his voice dropped lower—dark silk over steel. “But you… you make me want to do things I haven’t done in years.” My breath caught.

The call connected, and a gruff male voice answered, "Ghost." Her tone was low and urgent. "I need you to prepare your best men." "How many?" the voice asked. "About 80," she replied, checking her wristwatch. "Location: Mexico." "Who's the target?" came the next question. Without hesitation, Ghost blurted out, "My brother, Damon. Their assignment is simple—dispose of the dead body Damon has with him." There was a pause on the other end before the man’s voice rose in disbelief. "What—why?"

"The Imperial Music Box, circa 1850. Opening bid at One million ." "One point two million," Lora called immediately. Mona didn't even turn around.

she pointed at herself with her fore fingers, "—got you. Now get off that chair, pick up your expensive little jacket and mosey on down here." Too exhausted to manage an eye roll, Brandon stood up, draped his suit jacket over his arm and made his way to her. Beaming, she took his hand and began for the door, but stopped abruptly and leaned in. "Your budget is ten dollars," she whispered. His smile died instantly. Dropping her hand like it was dead weight, Beth watched him walk back to his table, drape his jacket over the armrest and roll back into his seat. "What's wrong?" "You can't afford me."

"It's the last piece" "How much is this?" I asked grazing it gently. "It's 350 Rupees" she smiled. "Okay, I'll take it," I said giving it to her to pack as I fished out my wallet. "Is it for someone special?" she asked with a cheeky smile. I glanced at the ghost, gawking at the rings Diya just freshly purchased. "Sort of" I smiled taking the box from her.
