Novel & Cerita Price For Freedom

Then, someone reported that Lily had secretly leaked bid prices to a competitor, causing massive losses to the company. Lily had been subsequently suspended and placed under investigation. Miranda berated Flora furiously, causing Flora to seethe with anger inside. Whether Lily lived or died had nothing to do with her, Flora thought to herself. Around that time, the child Flora and Sean were about to adopt from overseas was born. Sean seemed excited as they waited for the baby, and Flora had turned down a lot of work to prepare for the baby's arrival. But not long after they brought the child home, Sean's expression never brightened.

Not yet. I groaned. "Well, are you buying?" He asked, looking between me, Max, and Landen. "If you have it." I gritted. "It's going to cost you." "Whatever the amount, I'll pay for it." "forty thousand." "What?" Max asked in disbelief. "I got it for free." Big John laughed, not believing him. "Are you buying or not?" He asked in a friendly manner that made me even more pissed. "Of course."

"Stop fighting me on this. I messed up before. Let's withdraw the divorce filing this week. You've been dreaming of Deveille, right? I'll take you there soon." I didn't speak, and Ayden thought I had agreed, so he continued speaking. On the way back, I was scrolling through my social media and only then did I realize that Leticia had posted a photo. The necklace's packaging and brand were the same. What was different was hers was much more beautiful and delicate than mine. Only then did I realize that the necklace was just a freebie. How ridiculous! Even though he knew I liked it, he was unwilling to put in a little effort to pick one for me.

He quickly replied, "Adept Mabry, please save my grandfather no matter what! Just name your price! We'll give you anything as long as we can afford it!" Leto continued, "Since you've already put it that way, I'll be frank with you. You should know my terms, yes?" Adam nodded instantly. "Frederick already briefed me on your terms. You charge ten million dollars for treating illnesses and 100 million dollars for saving lives." "It sounds like you agree to my terms." "Name your price!" Leto stated, "Since Mr. Prewett Senior is on the brink of death, if I treat him now, I'll be saving his life. Therefore, I demand a total of one billion dollars."

I can't possibly pay back that kind of money. The ruckus had already drawn a crowd of curious workers. I stayed perfectly calm. "If you two don't mind making a scene, be my guest. But this divorce? It's happening. And I will get my money back." Wendy screamed through her tears. "25 thousand dollars? How am I supposed to live with my son after that? I might as well be dead!" Then, without warning, she grabbed the windowsill and tried to climb out like she was going to jump.

Not yet. I groaned. "Well, are you buying?" He asked, looking between me, Max, and Landen. "If you have it." I gritted. "It's going to cost you." "Whatever the amount, I'll pay for it."

"Of course."

“She doesn’t get to decide when we’re done.” The divorce had been his idea. A clean break. A public upgrade. Minah had been useful, loyal, predictable. Until she wasn’t. Until she had stopped bending. Until she had started asking for what she was owed. Ten million. Shares. The house. As if love had ever been a partnership. Coffee set the glass down carefully, deliberately. He hated that she hadn’t answered his calls. Hated that she’d chosen silence over obedience. Silence implied choice. Choice implied freedom.

He wore that confident, courtroom swagger like he already had the victory in the bag. "That makes it even easier. She's probably some immoral woman who had a kid out of wedlock. She put the kid in the front seat and drove drunk without caring about the kid's safety. That just added another charge to her," he said. But it was Quentin who begged me to have Ruby. The child he insisted I bring into the world was sitting in the front seat just to make sure the birthday cake didn't tip over. She was our Ruby—desperately seeking his approval and hoping for happiness for both of us.

He returned moments later, flipping open a suitcase. Stacks of cash. Neatly arranged. “I believe everyone has a price,” Joan continued . “If seven million isn’t enough, name a bigger number. We can finally free you from the clutches of Powers, let your father walk freely in town again… and, of course, save your little friend from death.” My throat went dry. I stared at him, trying to process what was happening. Is he serious right now? Seven million. My father gets to be free. Liam gets to live.

I could hear the murmurs of the crowd, weighing money against power. "Damon, we should stop now." Zach's voice came through, uncertain. I had to see this through to the end. I was done being a coward, running when the battle got tough. Too much was at stake with this building. I wasn’t just fighting for myself but for my Binky, fighting for a place where we could be happy together—a place without Lucy and my father. Freedom comes at a price—my mother paid with her life. Two hundred and fifty million was a small price to pay for mine.
