Pay Back In Spades Novels & Stories

I explained, "and launch the stable product to regain the market's trust. It will cause the company to grow on actual, sustainable profit, not just hype and empty promises." I paused and looked right at Julian. "And then, once the revenue stabilizes, the very first thing I will do is return the money I borrowed from you and others." Julian stared at me, he did not smile. "I will pay back every single cent I used to buy the shares," I promised him, wanting him to know that I honored my debts. "You backed me when I had nothing. You helped fund the LLC. I will buy you out properly, with interest, so you get a massive return on your investment."

“To making it up to me. Twice covered, several more owed.” “I’ll take the debt.” “You’d better. I keep excellent records.” Talia clinked her glass against Seraphina’s, and for the rest of the evening, they talked about everything and nothing at the same time. Tonight, Seraphina decided, was the most fun she’s had in the past five years.

“For what?” “To pay him back.” “How much?” Pierre backs off a little. “Eighty grand.” I avert my eyes, cringing at the mere thought of owing him that much money. Just saying it out loud feels like I'm being filleted inside. “Only if it's not too much of a hassle. I-I'll pay you back with interest.” “You're kidding,” he mutters. When I don't say anything else, he scoffs and grins. “No. You don't have to do that.”

I shoved her away forcefully and, thinking about the gift Lily mentioned, hurried back home. It was true. I hadn't returned home in a long time. When I got back, I was instantly enveloped by a heavy sense of cold emptiness. The gift Lily had mentioned was sitting alone on the table. I looked at the note and suddenly felt a tightness in my chest. Was this just another tactic Lily was using to get my attention? But how could she be so cruel, using our child's life to provoke me? "Lily! Come out! You shouldn't lie about a miscarriage just to make me care about you! Come out and explain yourself!"

Jay leaned a little forward to sing: But who are we supposed to be? She smiled in the following pause and leaned a little forward too, chuckling when he sang, like asking her: And who am I supposed to be today? Her lips pursed in an ironic smile as he charged on with the chorus, nodding for her to join him. I give back all that’s been given I take back all that’s been taken I could never go on this way again…

“My eyes are very sharp, I have never seen anything wrong. I make sure, sooner or later, Dr.Ivory will contact you.” “Do you want to bet? I win, you give me 1 million VND. If I lose, I'll give you one. OK?" Daisy was very excited while Abel still hesitated because he didn’t want to be involved in gambling games, but Daisy said a tough word; “Don’t be too mean. Just for fun. ⅕ your month’s salary. You don’t have your wife and children. No need to think of the future too much.” Daisy's mouth smiled brightly like a blooming flower as if she were counting money in her hand. “Why are you so sure?” Abel was curious about Daisy’s certain attitude.

“No way! That’s amazing! Congratulations!” Adrian chuckled, his eyes sparkling. “Thanks, Sophia. It’s been a long journey, but it's finally happening. I want you to be there for my first performance.” “Of course! I wouldn’t miss it for the world. You’re going to be a hit, Adrian, I just know it.” He reached into his wallet and pulled out a few bills, pressing them into my hand. “Also, I wanted to pay you back what I owe you from before.” I looked down at the money, then back at him, a bit taken aback. “Adrian, you don’t have to do this. Really, it was nothing.”

"Come on, let's take a thorough look and get ready for the spa as well. I owe you a treat. And if we're going to go ahead with our pay-back plan on Lexington, we need to be heavily armored." "Yasss!"

He managed to ask through gritted teeth. “That is none of your business. I have paid you back for every single thing you have bought me in the past three years. It's just a shame I can’t pay to get those three years back because I would never have met you if I could. You have your money now; now stay the fuck away from me.”

“Yeah, but you gave me new stuff, I’ve used it till now—used means old. Selling it now only gets thirty percent.” Kendall lowered her head, counting on her fingers. “Besides, we broke up this year, and you gave me those things years ago. I’ve only used them this year and wore them out. That means I used your gifts while we were still friends. Now we’re not, so I’m paying you back!” ***
