Hundred Handed One Novels & Stories

"She left? Finally showed some sense. Good riddance. I'll go discuss the date for your and Gianna's bonding ceremony with the Thunder Ridge elders right away." But something in her words struck a nerve. Eric's face changed drastically, his voice hoarse but firm. "Impossible! Why would she leave me? She clearly..." She clearly relied on him so much, needed his protection. Luna Anya, seeing his insistence, scoffed. "What's so impossible? She took the hundred million dollars without a second thought, you know." A hundred million dollars. Eric seized on the number, jerking his head up to look at his mother, his voice filled with disbelief. "What did you say? What hundred million dollars?!"

To make things fair, I told myself I would forgive her 99 more times. Then came the second time, the third, the fourth. Throughout our five-year marriage, she left me time and again to be with Cedric. Eventually, she stopped offering explanations. Before going to see him, she would simply hand me the deed to a new property. From the first to the ninety-ninth, I forgave her every single time. Now, this was the hundredth. But after this, I'd no longer need to forgive her. That realization made me smile. I looked at her calmly, no longer weighed down by emotion. She froze for a brief second, then averted her eyes.

She turned back around faster than the music required. The dark-haired one reached into his jacket without hurrying. Produced a folded hundred. Held it between two fingers, patient and deliberate. She hesitated half a second longer than she should have, then dipped toward him because it was still within the rules and she was still doing her job and the hundred was real money.

"What's the point? Why should I take your hand in mine?" "If you hold my hand, I'll pay you $100." "What!? 100 dollars for simply holding your hand? Do you think I'm a moron?" He took something from his coat, which turned out to be a wallet. He then grabbed money from his wallet and handed it to me. Is he delusory? Fine. After sticking money into my pocket, I raised my hand and placed it on his, intertwining his fingers with mine. When I looked at him, he was perplexed and staring at my hand.

"Your name's Yvonne, right? You're saying my husband choked you and ripped your clothes with his hands?" Yvonne straightened up and said with unwavering confidence, "That's right! His hands were shockingly strong and covered in calluses. They hurt so much! I'll never forget those hands!" "Good." I nodded, a glint of coldness in my eyes. "Hopefully, when we get to court, you’ll still remember what those hands look like. "Because my husband lost his hands in a fire five years ago. "You said he choked you? With what? His imaginary hands?"

“River and Permiton, take her left hand together. Brook and Akin, her right.” They do. River’s fingers are warm and steady. Permiton’s are cold and trembling, but they curl firmly around mine. On the other side, Brook’s palm is slightly damp, but he tightens his grip without hesitation. Akin’s hand is solid, sure, grounding. Their fingers link across mine. And then, one by one, they reach out for each other. Akin clasps River’s hand, River clasps Brook’s, Brook clasps Permiton’s, and Permiton clasps Akin’s. The circle is complete.

Callan was really ruthless! "Master Handerson!" Nick was shocked and hurried forward to hold Callan. Callan gasped and was sweating. The long bench was already bloody. His left little finger had been cut off! It was said that ten fingers were linked to the heart. Even he could not bear this pain. "Is that enough? Are you satisfied now? I cut my finger off today in exchange for a chance of my child's survival. The things I promised you will remain the same! Is that okay?"

He commanded one of the colleagues and they dutifully nodded without any complaint. Catherine could not help but wonder who this green eyed young man was that her colleagues could break the rule and humbly obey. " Here have this" He removed a bundle of one thousand dollar notes and handed it over to the lady taking her place.

She picked it up from the table and handed it to Alessa. Alessa took it and yelled as she stared at the screen. “Fifty million? Come on!”
