Fool's Gold Series Novels & Stories

"I have no idea what you’re talking about. Julian was your pet. If he stole data, that’s a Sterling Group security flaw, not a Thorne problem." "Except the data wasn't stolen," Xavier intervened, moving to stand behind me, his hands resting on the back of my chair. "It was mirrored. To a private server registered under a shell company called 'Apex Horizon.' Do you want to tell the board who the beneficial owner of Apex is, Silas? Or should Vivienne?" Silas’s face turned the color of ash. "That's... that’s a fabrication." "Is it?" I pulled a tablet from my bag and swiped a finger. The large monitor on the wall flickered to life. It showed a series of encrypted chats the ones Silas thought wer

The rebellious clan had seized The Golden Serpent and its gems and got away with. Runolf left at once with a party of warriors after the fugitive. The darkness helped Theobald, for it was very difficult to see where he had gone. Brezia noticed the moment her father had taken a quick run to seize the Golden Serpent, and ran as well through the bride after him. She entered the chapel just as the diamond came off the relic. Thinking it was important, she headed where she saw the gem fall, and guided by its brilliance managed to get it. Only that by the time she went after her father again, he had already disappeared into the forest. She was terrified and did not know where to go. Being alone an

“There’s more. I can feel it.” I nodded, though my gut twisted. Every time we dug deeper, we lost something - a layer of innocence, a piece of trust, but we couldn’t stop now. Anton walked in with a grim face. “We have another problem,” he said. “The server Elise used to forge the Zurich document? It was tied to something else. A deeper root protocol.” “What kind of protocol?” I asked. He hesitated. “It’s called Rebirth.” Cassie sat up. “What the hell does that mean?”

“He’s Mr. Brooke’s personal assistant—used to be a mercenary. You got caught impersonating the real Duncan. You’d better get on your knees and beg for mercy!” If I hadn’t trained under Morgan, that sudden blow might have genuinely caught me off guard. I turned, stood tall, and without hesitation, flipped Nathan over my shoulder in a clean takedown. Before he could scramble back to his feet, Morgan, unable to restrain himself, smashed a fist into Nathan’s nose with a sickening crunch. I pulled back and offered a resigned smile. “We’re in Azura. Try to keep it classy.” Nathan wailed in panic. “Mr. Morgan, you hit the wrong person! He’s the one pretending to be Mr. Brooke! I’ve got nothing to d

I asked him. “The treasure has become scattered. Retrieve it.” I went into the tunnel and began collecting up the gold. What appeared to be a small scatter was misleading. There was a king’s ransom of coins and gemstones dislodged from the main pile. I gathered the pieces into my skirt. It seemed irreverent to simply pour the coins and stones onto the pile and I kept an eye on the golden-haired man as I did so. He did not look up from his book. The noise of them falling was impressive.

I didn't want to question her or make her relieve her bad past but her words sounded unbelievable. "I never knew you went through a lot sis, I'm truly sorry. As for Stacey, I recently met her at the hotel I'm in, and I kind of felt like she wasn't lying." I said softly. "That's what golddiggers do, they trick and lie. That lady is a professional gold digger who can easily manipulate you, so avoid her at all cost and stay away from her." she said. "Okay, thank you for making things clear to me. I will talk to you later, I love you." I whispered.

"On my wedding night, you pretended to be Bella and crawled into my bed, making me too ashamed to ever face her again. "When you got pregnant, I told you to abort it. Instead, you ran to my mother, calling it the Rice family heir—then flaunted it in Bella's face." "The day Bella gave birth, you got me blackout drunk and staged another 'mistake'—forcing me to legitimize you. "And at Lily's hundred-day celebration?" His voice cracked with rage. "You faked medical records, took my baby into that clinic, and drained her dry… then manipulated me into abandoning Bella and Lily to flee the country with you!"

But the way people moved aside for him, the way even the other alphas stepped back, told me everything I needed to know. This was someone powerful. "Ten gold from the hooded bidder," the trader said, his voice suddenly nervous. Garrett's scarred face went dark. "Twelve." "Twenty." The hooded man didn't hesitate. Gasps ran through the crowd. Twenty gold pieces could buy a house. A farm. A whole herd of cattle. Garrett looked like he wanted to rip someone's throat out. His hand went to the knife at his belt. "Twenty-five." "Fifty."

"There they are! That shameless pair! They hurt Rick and still dare to hold a funeral here? Hypocrites!" When they saw me, it was like they'd found their target. Anything they could throw came flying my way. "This is all your fault! You set him up!" Hard, cold objects slammed into my body. I tried to stop them, but a man lunged forward and shoved me hard to the ground. In the chaos, a heavy candlestick crashed against my head. My vision went black, and I passed out. In less than ten minutes, the enraged "fans" had reduced the funeral hall to rubble.

RING AROUND THE BODIES 2 Bullets ripped past the metal table, sending sparks flying everywhere. A few passed through, slamming into the wall in front of them and raining dust over their faces. Aaron placed a hand over his eyes and looked up at the equipment on the table. A burner, some flasks and pipes, the white dust hovering above them–this was a fucking drug lab. “Oh, damn," he said, laughing. "These motherfuckers stole from me, and they're even cooking more.”
