Double Indemnity Novels & Stories

I had prepared for this eventuality three years ago when I married Martina in secret. “I believe it’s worth millions of penalties for breaching the contract,” I told him calmly. “And you are not concerned? Marcus, that is not just a few hundred dollars but several million dollars we are talking about here. Are you prepared to pay that much?” “Simon. I have prepared for this. I have insurance that would cover the damages. My contract for those endorsements is already expiring. I can buy them out.” “But what about your career? Are you throwing it all away for some woman?” He asked.

The judge came with a final verdict. “Adam Donatello and Liam Donatello are to pay 5 billion each, which is a total of 10 billion for intentionally damaging the construction site of Diamond group which is owned by Logan Donatello. Also, they are both to pay 2 million compensation to each family that lost a loved one in the fire and 500k to those that were injured. Failure to do this, they both will be sentenced to 14 years in prisonment” the judges hit his gravel.

"You really don't have a father with a gambling problem? A sick mother at home?" Still unsure what he meant, Amara shook her head. He looked vaguely disappointed. "All right. Go ahead." Back at the service station, Amara stood with a hollow feeling she couldn't quite name. How had she made such a basic mistake? And they had let her off. She should be grateful. Barbara came straight over. "What happened over there?" "Nothing serious." Amara described what had happened, and Barbara exhaled. "Fortunately, they didn't hold you to it. I should've warned you. If a premium ingredient gets damaged or wasted because of something we did, they can deduct it from our wages. Every pay period until it's p

JULIAN He thought: this is not negligence. He thought: this is not a cover-up. He thought: there is only one frame that contains all of this information. The road and the barrier and the four documented trips and the reckless driving citation and the policy taken out in March for two hundred and forty thousand dollars and collected six weeks after the accident in the specific and administrative way of a woman who had known, when she filed the claim, exactly what she had done to be in a position to file it.

"Please, Ned," Ingrid cried. "I'm sorry! I promise I'll find a way out!" "You'll find a way?" Ned said furiously. "Fletcher Corporation signed the NDA, so we have to pay 30 billion dollars of compensation!" "I'm sorry, Ned!" Ingrid held Ned's arm. "Please calm down. We'll figure out a way together, okay?" Suddenly, Ned chuckled and thought this was his karma for treating Angeline the same four years ago.

“So, if you don’t mind, let’s do it tomorrow. The deadline is the following day.” “Oh. That’s a lot of money,” Freya noted, though she still didn’t say yes. Kenneth cleared his throat and shared, “Coincidentally, my insurance is offering a fifty percent discount for spouse enrollment. The deadline is the day after tomorrow. The premium is $100 million. It would be financially irresponsible not to take advantage of it.” “Wow.” Freya blinked. “What insurance company is that?” “It’s—Um—” He coughed and muffled the words into his fist. “M—Life—”

I picked a gap between two thick directives and drove the pen into it like I was slotting a new line on a page. The code there rippled under the impact. Text bled outward from the pen’s tip, black at first, then flaring into a muted, stubborn white. CONSENT, I wrote. A new function, jammed between PROCESS_REGRET and ENSURE_THROUGHPUT.

No more kidnapping people whose only crime was dying badly. “YOU WILL… DOOM THEM,” the Admin snarled. “WITHOUT ENFORCED PROCESSING, SUBJECTS WILL REFUSE. REGRET WILL ACCUMULATE.”

“None of them are guarantees, but they can significantly reduce risk.” I leaned forward. “What if I paid her?” Hunter’s fingers stilled, but he didn’t let go as I said that. “I mean,” I continued, “I reimbursed her fully. Every legal f*e she paid and every cost she covered. I could even put it in writing that I won’t pursue any claim to her assets.” Mark raised his brows slightly. “You’re aware that under community property law, you would be entitled to half of what she accumulated during the marriage.”

We have been friends since we were six years old and he knows how I think and plan things out . But with her I dove in head first without a plan just acting on impulse along the way and Wyatt's wanting to mark her the first time he saw her ,shit ,even the second time we saw her at her house . Which didn't make it any better because it made the mate bond between us stronger. "Just hope it works because I'm flying by the sit of my pants on this " I stated " It's going to be fine ,just give it some time, she will come around " Nick said with a slight smile . With that we talked more on business matters.

“Mrs. York, my uncle would like me to pass this to you. He has changed the PIN of the card to 123456. The money in the card is meant to compensate for your car and mental damage.” Serenity put the card back into Camryn’s hand and said flatly, “Tell your uncle that he should get me a new car in compensation instead of giving me money. As for the compensation for mental damage, I’ll definitely receive it when I press charges against Carrie. The court will support me in requesting however much compensation I want from them.”
