Novel & Cerita Payback #bl Manhwa

Business elites and reporters attending the summit had stopped to watch this absurd spectacle. I looked at Liam kneeling on the ground and at his mother, who was trying to buy off three hundred million dollars in crimes with a cheap thermos of soup. All I felt was a hollow, heartbreaking absurdity. This was the true ugliness of human nature. They weren't sorry for their greed and cruelty. They were crying over the freedom and money they were about to lose. They actually thought that bowing their heads, saying sorry, and cooking a pot of soup meant the victim should forgive all the monstrous things they had done.

It was the cake he chooses as a thank-you for Liam. He was not ungrateful; he knew when to say thank you when needed. Looking back before his rebirth, Liam was the one who bought him from the loansharks. If not for Liam, he might be a human toilet now or pregnant or a paid-whore. The alpha was scary but gratitude exempts no one. Back in his room, he surfs about modeling work and how to do poses for food. He received a second chance in life so he wanted to do great in this second life. If the modeling turns out well then it could be one of his works in the future.

ALEXANDER I scowled as I stared at the back of the bottle, reading the dosage as Bailee turned on the bath in the adjoining bathroom. “How much do I owe you?” She asked, and I looked up to see her leaning against the door frame, staring at me stone-faced. “For the medicine, how much was it?” “You don’t need to pay me back.” “Well, I don’t want to owe you anything.” She snapped, and I lowered the bottle to my side.

Wanda's eyes darted around, scanning the crowd for backup, but all she got were whispers—and none of them sounded sympathetic. "Seriously? He doesn't owe her anything." "She's just trying to guilt-trip him. That's so low." "If she's that desperate for money, she should get a job. Begging like this is pathetic." The realization hit her hard, and her fake-innocent act crumbled. Her face twisted with anger, and she went straight for the nuclear option. "I've been sleeping with you for three years, Shaun! And now you're throwing me away? Fine, if you won't pay, I'll tell everyone you forced yourself on me!"

"Hello?" The person on the other end of the line was sobbing. "I'm sorry... Mindy. I... regret my decision."

"This is the offer letter from Zach Airways. We'd like to hire you to be the chief pilot. The annual pay is three million dollars, and you'll also be given stock options." He leaned against the chair. "It's too tiring for you to be in this position. You're still young, and you shouldn't limit yourself." I pushed the envelope back to him. "Mr. Zachary Lowe, I'm Ethan Lowe," I said. His finger paused on the desk for a moment. "I know your name." The corners of his lips twitched. "And I know who you are." Zachary rose to his feet and buttoned his coat. "Ethan, if you refuse to help, I'll opt for another way out."

I think you should be focusing on your studies instead of pulling stunts like this. After regaining consciousness, I was met with a barrage of accusatory glances. If it had been before, I would have been too embarrassed to say anything, and my face would turn red with shame. Yet, at this very moment, I was seething with fury and resentment; I was no longer that timid version of myself. I had been reborn. I snatched the pink letter from his grasp and unfolded it while saying, "You went to that backwater high school, and you call that studying abroad? You're truly delusional.

“And now they pay.” The words land without effort. Final. Azriel nods once, slow, certain. When I glance back, just briefly, he’s still watching, something quieter in his expression, something sharper. The machines hum steadily behind us. Callum doesn’t move. And somewhere else, Vance is comfortable, Anya is laughing, both of them exactly where I need them to be. I don’t look away from Callum again. Because this is the cost. And this time, I make sure it’s paid.

[End of Flashback] When I got home that day, I cried my eyes out. A few months passed and I was poisoned and when I woke up, I was someone different. I didn’t have all her memories but it gradually came back to me. As I held the congee bowl in my hand, I tried to think back to the time when Sayori and Yukio were still okay. I wonder how Sayori never noticed the way Yukio looked at her. Anyone could see his loving gaze towards Sayori.

Iris actually throws up, realizing Joey and her stepmother are having sex. “I know, disgusting,” The woman holds Iris’s black hair back and rubs Iris’s back. “Why? Why is this happening?” Iris asks again, screaming and choking on tears. “It’s a little complicated. I’ll tell you what I can. You get three chances to make it right. I am sorry to say I agreed to a game with the god of the Sea. He says his creations are stronger than mine. Daria has already been re-born once. If she fails twice more, I win. So, you get to go back,” the lady tells Iris. “You get three chances. If you can’t defeat Daria and Ingrid, then I lose, and you stay dead.”
