Jinx Shipping Novels & Stories

Gia reached out, her heart skipping a beat as she saw the unsaved number. Unknown: Open your laptop. Look at the pre-market shipping indexes for the Eastern Seaboard. Gia sat up, pulling her laptop onto her covers and logging into the high-clearance financial terminal Leo had given her access to. She pulled up the Thorne Shipping Corporation’s primary ticker. The screen flashed with a sea of aggressive, bleeding red.

I could practically taste it, sharp and bitter on my tongue. "Jaxx, listen," Victor began, his voice shaking just a fraction, his fingers twitching against his papers like he was fighting the urge to bolt. The folder in his hands rustled with the tremor. "The Sinclairs... they control the legitimate high-society shipping lanes. Sometimes overlapping is just... it's just standard commerce. It's business. You know how these things work. It's impossible to operate in this city without some crossover, you have to understand that…"

Is Alpha Iraj just waiting for a winner to become apparent and playing his chances until then? There’s no way of knowing. Asking Joli will only get me more trouble—and a higher chance of being caught. “Well, thanks,” I tell her. With a sigh, she says, “Tell them the next shipment won’t be for two weeks. Supply chain issues.” “Will—” She hops onto the cart, spurs the horse attached to the front—all sleek lines and dappled hair, just as fast-looking as Lightning Cape horses are rumored to be—and trundles away as fast as a hay cart can.

He was using her discovery not just as intelligence, but as bait. "The Trident Shipping Guild is a front," Kaelen explained, his voice a low, strategic murmur. "But it is also a business. And businesses, especially illicit ones, are always looking for new revenue streams. We are going to offer them one. We are merchants from the Eastern Isles, with a cargo of rare spices and a desperate need for a new, discreet shipping partner to bypass the royal tariffs in the capital." Joric stared at him, his face a mask of slow, dawning comprehension. "You mean to walk into the lion's den and offer to sell him a new key for his cage."

he said, bringing up the first file. “Shipping is the backbone now. Twelve active cargo routes, three under shell companies, two joint-controlled through Mediterranean partners. Net revenue last year alone cleared eight figures, even after laundering costs and port fees.” I nodded once. “Casinos?” I asked. “Expanded,” Jack replied smoothly. “Four licensed fronts, two offshore digital platforms. Cash flow is clean enough to pass scrutiny but flexible enough to move fast. The house always wins, especially when it owns the house.” “And the trade company.”

Turns out, Jinx’s original plan on the ship was to find someone to harm her. Lalisa recalled Owen Wilson, and in her memory, there was a man, an old man over 60, whom she had seen at the Grayson family’s banquet. Every evening, he would stare at her lecherously, and Jinx had even joked that she could marry into a prestigious family. Her own sister had sought to harm her. Jayce Sherwood sat there, gripping his glass tightly, his gaze turning icy. Three years ago, Jinx had planned to harm Lalisa in the darkness.

“You can get Santiago junior to give me good rates on transporting goods." Eva immediately reminded him that the Sardinos' shipping company was dedicated to making luxurious yachts and selling them, not to transporting merchandise. But Oswaldo, who knew their business, explained that was the larger shipping company did. But the small one with which he had started was still dedicated to other jobs, such as moving merchandise. The one that the patriarch Sardino had started was no longer small, but very large.

This was getting pointless; I was tired of the back and forth. “……” He stayed silent. “Now that that’s settled, let’s talk about reports on the new shipping.” I started a new shipping company, actually, I have a lot of them under different names and different places just for emergencies, and if one dies down, I can always get extra. Men aren’t hard to find, some that have escaped prison and need a place to stay or work while they avoid the law can always work for me underground and move to different countries. “Please, a moment.” He said as he opened the tablet and checked for details. Yes, there is a 19.7%” increase in shipments since the last time we had a supply.” He added.

"Pera? Sabihin mo ang halaga at umalis ka sa buhay namin." ​Tumawa nang malakas si Julian. "Pera? Marami ako niyan. Ang kailangan ko ay ang iyong 'Shipping Lines.' Gusto kong dumaan ang mga kargamento ko mula Europe nang hindi dumadaan sa Customs. At ikaw lang, Xander, ang may kontrol sa mga port na iyon." ​"Gusto mo akong gawing smuggler?" galit na sabi ni Xander. "Hinding-hindi ko gagawin 'yan."

It bumped against the pier with a hollow thud. Jinx didn't wait for the gangplank. She vaulted over the railing, landing on the concrete. She looked awful. Her tactical gear was shredded, her face was gaunt, and her left arm was in a sling. But she was grinning. "You guys are hard to find," she rasped, walking toward us. "I had to bribe three smugglers and a parrot just to get the coordinates to this rock." "You're late," Ashren said, crossing his arms. But I saw the relief in his posture.
