Love And Fortune: A Gamble For Two Novels & Stories

Bianca asked Isis, sipping champagne while glaring at her rival. Isis pursed her lips, watching the couple intently. “She used to be just an employee. She was always arguing with Gerald. They could barely stand each other. And now suddenly they’re getting married. Strange.” Bianca’s lips tightened. “That wedding cannot happen. Our plans would collapse. We need the Lennox fortune,” she hissed. “Come with me,” she ordered. Together, they approached the couple. “Congratulations!” Isis exclaimed with a false smile. “You’ve gone from Cinderella to princess,” she sneered.

He would go for his no matter the danger ahead. "What are we betting on?" I crossed my hands over my chest. I was ready for anything. "A hundred million dollars! Whoever gets the girl to fall in love first, wins." "And who loses?" I asked. "If in two months one doesn't get her to fall in love. Loser gives the winner a hundred million and leaves the country for good.… deal?" Levi stretched his hand out with a stern look. "Deal." I took his hands.

"My dearest Shawn, I never got the chance to tell you, but I love you. I've always loved you. I'm writing this letter because I'm about to marry someone, someone I'm not in love with. The wedding is in three weeks and would very much rather it be you I'm going to marry. If by some miracle you feel the same way, come home. Come home and stop me from making this stupid mistake. If you don't come, I wouldn't blame you.

Patrick is sure as hell as rich and his property is just too huge. L kissed her hair and smiled. “I know.” He replied. “But first, get used to this.” He said as hugged her tighter. Patrice smiled, blushing. When L is sweet, Patrice is losing her sanity. “I bet I can’t get enough of this.” She replied as she chuckled. L smiled. “Me too.” He said as he smiled wider. “I love you, Patrice Kwon.” He whispered. Patrice closed her eyes and breathed in fresh air. The ambience is just too good and it suits the atmosphere between her and L. “I love you too, Lance Kim.” She replied and smiled widely.

"Looking at your expression, I should guess right. But I only like Fortune and have no interest in you at all. I'm not gay like you. But it’s good as long as you have no interest in Fortune." "You're wrong. I'm not interested in you at all. It’s Grace who I love and can never forget." Charlie said.

I grab my fortune cookie and begin opening it. “What’s yours say,” he asks. “It says ‘The love of your life is closer than you think’.” I look at Derek and blush. “What does yours say.” “Mine says ‘Hold those you love close for it could be lost tomorrow’.” I can see him frowning. He appears to not like his too much. “They’re just silly fortunes. Pay them no mind,” I laugh.

Gavin chuckled, “This is not year 1960, this is the 21st century and women do not necessarily need to have any fortune to their name. I wish to marry her and I am beyond capable of taking care of every expense, so why is it causing an issue? His mother adjusted her expensive jacket, adorned with pearls, she loved dressing up whenever she could and today was no exception, “Where is she?!” “She stepped out. This does not have to be an issue. I know you and Adele were tight but I love Leila, mother” Mrs. Hasters huffed, “Love? Love does not work in the business world. Love is for paupers. Adele will make a better wife and she would give a better coverage to the company’s name. Not that low-life

Phoebe screamed at the top of her lungs, causing everyone nearby to look over. "Those winning lottery tickets belong to me! That multi-million dollar jackpot is mine! What right do you have to keep it? Give it back to me this instant!" I smiled faintly. "You think it belongs to you? Is your name written on it?" "Why, you!" Phoebe was so furious that she was speechless as she glared at me intently. "Those were rightfully mine to begin with! You shouldn't have taken those winning lottery tickets with you since you've chosen to come back here!"

He was walking towards the lanky curtains. I panicked, "oh my gosh! It's that cute boy!" He parted the curtains open hoping to see me there, he peeped in, and he got confused, "where could that marvelous singer be?" He turned from the curtain and he spotted a pair of my sneakers sheathed in my foot which was sticking out. He smirked and was walking towards me. I noticed his legs approaching me, and I shook my head biting my nails, "no, let him not find me, he should not come closer." I muttered.

And Percy turned to look at him. Fortune immediately leaned in and kissed her lips, passionately. He loved kissing her. He looked back into her eyes. “Do you know what that means?“ He asked. Percy opened her lips in embarrassment. “I…” she did not know what to say.

She needed someone to lean on.
