Nothing Is Worth The Risk Novels & Stories

“I accept the project.” The words seemed to echo in the room just as I spoke them. One of the older men smirked and shook his head as though he had already predicted the outcome. “You should know, Miss, others before you have tried to touch this division and failed. We’re giving this to you because no one else wants to bleed resources on a sinking ship. Do you understand the risk?” “I do,” I said without hesitation. “And I understand the opportunity. If everyone else has failed, then success will matter that much more.”

I exhaled slowly, dragging my focus back to where it belonged. "New route," I said. "Safer. More profitable. Less interference from the people who've been making themselves comfortable in spaces that don't belong to them." His interest sharpened immediately. That particular quality of attention that Noah has — it's not loud, doesn't announce itself, but you can feel the shift. Like a lens focusing. "And the risk?" "There's always risk." A faint grin. "That's why you enjoy it." I didn't deny it.

Which was its own kind of answer. “You are never going to feel like it is safe enough,” Daniel said. “That is not a criticism. It is just true. Your threshold for acceptable risk where I am concerned is zero and zero is not a number that exists in real life and we cannot build a life around a number that doesn’t exist.” “I’m not asking you to accept unreasonable risk,” Tim said. “I’m asking you to stay inside for a few days.” “You’re asking me to go backwards,” Daniel said.

"I want this. Want you. Want to see where this goes." "Even knowing it could blow up in our faces?" "Especially knowing that," I smiled. "I've played it safe my whole life, Damien. Look where it got me. Engaged to a cheater, working a job I hated, sacrificing everything for people who didn't appreciate it. Maybe it's time I took a risk." "I'm a pretty big risk." "I know. But you might be worth it." His eyes darkened. "Might it be?" "Convince me."

Prepare for a long fight. I silence the phone. Deal with it tomorrow. Tonight, I'm here. With people who matter. With people who chose me back. And that's worth fighting for. Even if the fight destroys everything else. Even if the cost is more than I can afford. Some things are worth the price. Some people are worth the risk. And I'm finally brave enough to believe it.

“He never loses little pet, are you sure you don’t want to fall back now? We can show mercy and you can reduce your stake” I simply smiled at his words, “No. I’m not giving up or reducing my stake” I said calmly, and slanted my eyes at Hudson, “Because in life, there are risks…and to truly live, one must dare to risk it all.” Excited cheers resounded in the air at my words, the a main from earlier been the loudest. “Ohhh, I’m really starting to like you, little pet!”

It mixed with hope, a weak ember I planned to fan into flame. I started, my voice steady and clear in the quiet of the night, "This meeting is not a game." From now on, everything we do is risky. "We will face serious consequences if anyone finds us." Lyra moved closer and whispered, "But it's worth it, isn't it?" What you want to do...

"That's exactly why you can't take these risks! Your life is so short already, you have so much you can do, so much you need to do!" "Ambrose! Listen to me! If I don't take risks, my life would be wasted. None of this would've happened if I didn't take any risks. We wouldn't be here without risks!" Ambrose turned away and hung his head. "Some risks aren't worth taking. Not when I could lose you." Rhae bit her lip and turned towards Diavel, who had been listening intently to their conversation. He likes you. Diavel whispered into her mind. I know.

Dad always says, "Life values risk over safety. Without risk, safety loses its meaning." I need to take a risk if I want to find Dad and at this point, the only risk is teaming up with an enemy and working towards one goal. I know Kai is gonna be mad at me for this but I have no other choice. I’m taking the risk, it may not be the right decision but I don’t care, all I care about is finding Dad and if that means working with Richard Maranzano then I’m down for it.

, Honestly I don't know what I'm gonna do, had to friend zone him", I gave a sad laugh. "Damn, that's worse than a rejection". "I know, but I have too many things at risk here, and I don't know if it's worth throwing everything away for". "Does he worth throwing everything away for?", she asked me. I shook my head," I don't know".
