I Won T Lose Novels & Stories

He didn’t look away from me. “I’m fine,” I said quietly. “Go.” He hesitated. “If they hit you like that again” “They won’t.” “You don’t know that.” “Blake.” His name came out softer than I meant. He leaned closer. “If I lost you” He stopped himself. The slip hung there. If I lost you. Not if the team lost you. Not if the league lost you. I reached for his hand. “Then don’t lose me,” I said. A simple answer to a complicated fear.

“You're losing.” The words were sharp. Clear. Honest. Lucien studied him for a long second. “And?” he asked softly. “Do I look like I’m losing?” No. That was the problem. Adrian clenched his jaw. “You should be,” he said. Lucien’s gaze dropped briefly to Adrian’s hands, then back up again. “You want me to be,” he corrected. Adrian didn’t deny it. “Yes.” The silence that followed wasn’t empty. It was heavy.

She trailed off. “And?” I prompted. “And you might lose a piece of yourself you can’t afford to lose.“​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I inhaled sharply, shoving my fingers through my hair. I couldn’t break. Not now. Not when I had too much to lose. I wiped at my face, inhaling slowly. Survival mode. That’s what this was. And if they wanted a war? They were about to find out that I never lose.

In the years since Beth and I separated, I built an empire that took most of my time, and now I realize that all of this was for naught. I was busy building a house, but what was the use of the house if I was going to lose the two people who could make it home? I have tons of money, but if I lost Beth to that perfect doctor. Money is worthless. I already lost Beth and Krizzie once, and if I don’t work fast, I will lose them permanently. “Come on, let me take you home.” Rowan tapped my shoulder just as I was mulling over calling a cab or driving my car.

The night my girlfriend, Lesley Cohen—whom I've financially supported for years—officially announces her relationship with Archie Gould, the System determines that I have failed my mission and strips me of my "saint's heart". From that moment on, I stop caring about her future and focus entirely on my career, eventually landing a spot among the Fortune 500. However, once I withdraw all financial support, Lesley confronts me with tearful eyes. "You always said that loving someone means giving them everything they want or need without asking for anything in return!" I'm baffled. She is the one who finds my money filthy, so why is she suddenly being so calculating about it now?

"How are you?" "I'm fine." "You're not fine." I look at her. Those dark eyes. Full of everything. "I'm scared," I admit. "Of what?" "Of losing you. Losing them. Losing everything I just fought for." She sets her coffee down. Takes my hands. "You're not going to lose us, Marcus." "How do you know?" "Because we're still here. The world knows. Your mother knows. The board knows. And we're still here." I pull her into a hug.

He won’t lose her because of a stupid bet. He looked at the name of the other party in the contract and changed into his best clothes. He had to get her back. No matter how powerful the man was.

He realized how much he was meant in Edwin’s life. Edwin continued “But only one has to win in the competition. Imagine the scenario where I lose and you win or you lose and I win...” The happiness in Ace's face faded and he turned pale. “See, you can’t even imagine it. How can I expect you to be friendly with me even if something that you don’t want will happen?” Edwin questioned. “I don’t want to lose you, Ace. We should be more careful with our thinking and should act mature.”

What ifs were just running in my head. "You have to calm down" Serena and Lena said. They were here with me to keep me company. "What do you mean? I am calm" I said while pacing around the room. "How are you calm when you are walking in circles, you are making me dizzy" Serena said. "What if something happens tomorrow? What if Vincent does not show up?" I said "He will, don't think that way" Lena assured me. Vincent and I had not spoken since the day on the beach when he dropped me off. I was scared to call him first because I thought I did something wrong to him.
