Price For Freedom Novels & Stories

"If anyone finds out that you come here at night, they’ll call you an accomplice. They’ll want to lynch you along." He shrugged, as if he had already accepted the risk.

The smell of old coffee still hung in the air. "So talk to me without recording," he said. "No headline, no microphone. Just talk." The words struck me. Just speak. As if it were simple. As if I had not spent my whole life saving what was eating me so that I would not become what I hated.

she propositioned. I coldly curled the corners of my lips and retorted, "Three thousand? Isn't that a little low?" Freya furrowed her attractive brows and replied, "Hey, I know the price. Three thousand is not bad, right?" I sneered. "You seem to be quite knowledgeable." She hesitated for a moment and then said, "Alright! Since you're so high-priced, I'll add another 500. Three thousand five hundred, that's my final offer!"

“Freedom is never free, my darling. Freedom always comes with a price." Nina's heart pounded in her chest. "What do you mean by that?" Marcus began to walk round her with a deliberate and menacing movement "Freedom is a luxury that only a few can afford. It is risky, that's why only bold people own it. It's a privilege, not a right. And those who seek it must be willing to sacrifice. Are you ready for it?" "Why are you doing this, Marcus?" Nina asked, her voice trembling with frustration. "What do you gain from all this torment?"

Jennifer nodded. 3.7 billion was not considered expensive at all. In fact, it was basically the cost price. After all, Aerowind Enterprise was located in the center of the city. Elegance Residence was right next door. "It's too expensive. We can't afford it." Frederick shook his head. "How much are you willing to pay?" Jennifer asked after a moment's hesitation. "I want it for free." Frederick chuckled in embarrassment. Jennifer gave an exasperated chuckle. Only Frederick could say such brazen words.

Moses expressed regretfully, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it like that. I was just asking out of curiosity. I happen to know someone who works inside, so I figured I could help you girls out if you haven’t secured a spot yet.” “I know you didn’t mean it like that, but I think some of you here don’t feel the same way,” Freya hinted not-so-subtly. Caprice gently nudged her to signal her to stop being so confrontative with Jonathan and Kenneth. It was too late. Kenneth immediately scoffed upon hearing her remark. “It must have been pretty expensive. I believe the scalper price goes for around five thousand. You sure are splurging for the occasion.” Freya refused to back down. “So what if it’s five

Or maybe because for the first time since her marriage, she didn’t feel like a prisoner. Colden broke the silence. “They’ll never bother you again.” Layla looked up. “You sound sure.” “I am.” She studied him for a moment. “You said something earlier. That everyone has a price. Does that include me?” He didn’t answer immediately. His gaze shifted to her again — calm, dark, measured. “Everyone,” he said, “has something they want more than pride.” “And what do you think I want?” she asked quietly.

Three more victories. We could do this. We would do this. Freedom was worth the cost.

Delia will need a more fitting dress. "Wait," I said. He stopped abruptly and frowned. "I never said I'd give it up for free. "My mother's belongings in Graham Pack all go to me. Her jewelry, her trunks, her old letters, and the moonstone necklace around Delia's neck. "I want all of it." I paused and added, "And 50 million on top of all that." "Sylvia, don't push your luck." "Push my luck?" I stared at him. "A crown. An Alpha King. A chance for you to hold your head high across the northern territory. Isn't that worth the price?"

I admit and her head snaps towards me as if she had forgotten I was even present on this trip. “I don’t understand how people could kill a person that had a family, children to take care of..” I looked down at her and found myself wishing for an instant that I had her humble soul.
