It's Payback Time Novels & Stories

"But I can't just take all of this from you without giving something back. It's not right. I need to know that I've earned it, that I've worked for it." Harvey sighed and rubbed his temples as if trying to ward off a headache. "Anna, listen to me. I've made my money, and I've made it wisely. I don't need your repayment. What I need is to see you succeed. And if you insist on paying me back, then do it by making a difference in the world. Use your talents to help others, and that will be payment enough."

And now he owed me too much. “I’m sure you know what happens to men who owe me money, John?” I asked, my voice cold and devoid of any emotion. John looked up at me, his face pale, his eyes wide with fear. “Please, sir,” he begged, his voice trembling. “I just need more time. I swear I’ll pay you back. You know I always do. Just give me a little more time.” Time. That’s all they ever begged for. But time wasn’t free. Time is fucking money.

If only I hadn't remembered how evil he was after marrying me, I would have easily melted with that innocent look. I immediately went into my room, sat, and pondered for a long time, thinking about what was really going on in my life. Is it true that God is giving me a second chance so that I can improve my future and make wiser decisions? At least, that's what I now believe. It's almost lunch time, but I'm still working on some urgent files. Like it or not, I have to call Daddy and say that I'll come later. I sent a message to Daddy to go with Mummy first, and Daddy agreed.

“You and I both know that we can never cough up that much money in just three days. We need more time.” “But…” Aunt Ophelia tries to argue. “I think she’s right.” Bhyron says suddenly, stunning even me. He’s still staring at me, those fierce blue eyes heating up my insides. With rage, I hope. Aunt Ophelia just wouldn’t let go. “Mr. Bhyron, please listen to me. I promise I’ll pay you back every dime. I promise to…” “And how do you intend to pay me back? Where will you get the money?” Bhyron asks with a lift of his eyebrow.

I wanted to run my fingers over the keys and hear the melody come to life and fill the cottage with beautiful music. "It doesn't matter what it costs, Ro. I brought it here so that you can start paying me back. I told you, this is how you're going to pay me back, remember?" "I am confused," I admitted. "How is buying me another gift helping me pay you back?"

Minutes later I received a mobile money message on my phone and checking my account balance my account had been credited. Well, Guess what, i never went to him. I had just paid myself back. His calls were all in vain. Abusive messages, anger, rude words were all his loss. This made me happier. Finally I had won. I made it. I got back at him. That atleast calmed me. He had finally paid back part of his rudeness

It had to be them. A sick feeling twisted in my stomach. “So what now?” I asked carefully. Brian smiled. “Now that you’re not buried under hospital bills anymore, you can pay me back much faster.” His eyes gleamed dangerously. “Which means I won’t have to drag you in here again.” “And how much time do I have?” “Eight days.” My eyes widened. “Eight days?” “No need to sound so offended,” he said casually. “Originally, I was going to give you seven, but I’m feeling generous today.”

“Think of it as compensation for the time they stole from you. Time you can never get back. Time you should have spent with Adelia, with yourself.” He gently rubbed her hand. “And now,” Ashton smiled faintly, a smile full of hope and support, “you can use it to buy back your future.” His words became light piercing the darkness in Avery’s heart. She began to see the money not as the end of a painful story, but as capital for a new beginning. “Buy back my future…” she murmured, repeating his words as an idea took shape. An idea filled with hope, an idea that felt right.

I had been pursuing Seth for so long, yet he never remembered the fact that I was allergic to pollen. "By the way, lend me 150 dollars. I want to buy some books. Once my family mails me money, I'll pay you back." I had lost count of how many times Seth told me the same thing. The thing was, he never returned any cash to me. I just huffed coldly before walking home right away. Seth could be heard hollering my name angrily from behind. As soon as I walked through the front door, I saw Catherine toying with her new watch. I recognized it as an item only sold in a department store in the town.

Still sitting there, still watching me with that same unreadable face, but the guilt was still there underneath. I picked up another piece of toast and took a slow bite this time, chewing while my mind raced. Last night I had asked for this. I had begged for a payback. I had spread my legs for his twin brother and moaned while my husband was on the phone. I swallowed and spoke without looking at him . “I’m still serious about the request. An Eye for an eye. I can pay somebody else.... if you don't want to.....
