Novel & Cerita Price Tag From Pitch Perfect

"Since it's a blissful night today, I'll sing a perfect song for y'all." Aisie tugged me along with her, struggling to get through the crowds while the guitar strums, playing one of Ed Sheeran's songs entitled "Perfect". As we passed the bunch of people, the first thing my eyes saw was the guitar bag on the floor with some money on it. Then next is the speaker and mic stand. I gulped as I heard his subtle voice. It was already night and cold, but it got doubled when words came out of his mouth with a perfect melody.

I guess that in a way, I won this match. ************ When I brought the gown for Stella, all what I was going for was sexy, I wanted her to fit into the club scene but what I am seeing now as she rushes to get ready in my room was something else, she was going to turn everybody heads at the club and I wasn’t sure that I liked that. The gown fitted her like a second skin and the plunge in the back of the black gown will give people ideas which they should not be getting about someone who was not theirs in the first place.

"That's all?" "It's enough." The corners of Jepherson's mouth curled upwards. She didn't catch the obvious message intended in the number. She was so slow to get the hint, he thought. Raeleigh looked at Jepherson for a while and asked, "How much is the price?" "One hundred thirty-three million and four thousand." Jepherson said casually. Raeleigh looked at him and asked, "Why is this number so strange?" "The sum is equivalent to the title of 'Darling Wife'."

It leaves an impression every time they're reminded of this fact—so, a necessary evil. I was honest-to-God ready to splash a nine-figure on that purchase if Prince was willing to go on. But I always knew it wouldn't get to that. The buyers rarely ever see the girls worth paying millions for. The prices almost always end in the hundreds of thousands. The third position prior to me purchasing Ivory—pushing Ryat there—was nine hundred and fifty thousand dollars. They almost never go higher. Since arriving at the House of Ruin, Ivory had already made her presence known. She wasted no time showing just how sharp, bold, and infuriatingly perceptive she could be.

My throat tightened at the thought of its price. "Try it on," she urged. I hesitated, then relented. The silk slid over my skin like water, hugging every curve. When I stepped out, her face lit up. "Stunning. Absolutely stunning. If you’ll let me take a photo, I’ll give you twenty per cent off." I agreed numbly, and the flash snapped. A few minutes later, Gordon’s card paid eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

MIRA The crystal chandeliers above us scatter light across the ballroom like a thousand tiny stars, and I can feel every eye in this place tracking our movement. Jackson's hand rests on the small of my back, warm and possessive through the silk of my burgundy gown, and I straighten my spine because this is what we do. We perform. We shine. We make everyone else feel like they're standing in our shadow. "Mrs. Meliś, would you mind?" A man in an expensive but ill-fitting tuxedo thrusts his phone at me, his smile too eager, too hungry. "Just one photo?"

She pressed play and my world shattered. Anna’s voice was clear and sharp. “Let’s cut to the chase. What’s the offer?” A pause. Then Luciana’s measured voice. “We only want what’s best for everyone.” Anna scoffed. “Please. Just tell me the number.” Mother’s voice was clipped. “Ten million dollars.” Anna laughed. But the recording skipped slightly, and when her voice returned, it was cold. “That’s pocket change, I want more.” Another pause. Then Anna’s voice again, lower, deliberate.

Ideal in this situation. I didn’t need anyone to tell me I looked good; I already knew it. “Goddamn,” Luciano whistled. “Are you trying to charm the entire room or start a war?” I grinned as I tightened the final cufflink. “Can’t I do both?” Elias leaned against the doorframe, his arms crossed. “Are you sure you’re ready?” “I was born ready.” I looked at him directly. “You don’t want me to back down now, do you?”
