Priceless The Book Novels & Stories

Today is my birthday dinner. Vincent booked out the entire top-floor dome restaurant, the most luxurious spot in Manhattan. Under the gaze of all our guests, he lavishly bought a private Caribbean island worth hundreds of millions at an auction, presenting the deed and a tiara studded with hundreds of crushed diamonds right in front of me. The surrounding tycoons, socialites, and mafia higher-ups were all filled with envy. "Mia, you're truly the luckiest woman in New York. The Don would even give his life for you, let alone these material things."

Not in front of all these people. Gradually, he opened the box, and the moment he did, the lights caught it. It was a Wittelsbach-Graff diamond ring. One of the most luxurious and expensive gemstones. Beautiful and impossible not to look at. My chest tightened painfully. This wasn't part of the deal; this wasn't something we talked about. Or was he up to something? This wasn't just a contract anymore. Was it? Thoughts flooding through my mind instantly. A lot of questions that needed immediate answers.

My stomach drops so fast it almost hurts. Six figures is more than my father lost in his final month before bankruptcy. More than my mother will earn in years. More than the total balance of every desperate calculation scribbled in the margins of hospital bills at home. Security starts moving toward me. I open my mouth. “I am so sorry. It was an accident. I will—” You will what, Andrea? Sell your kidney? The host pushes through the small crowd forming around the disaster, his expression strained but controlled. “This piece was specially acquired from a private European collection,” he says tightly. “It is not replaceable.”

What other response could she give to a face like that? “Here’s the world book! Let me know if you need anything else!” A thick book appeared in front of them. The cream hardcover shone like the surface of a pearl. The letters and edges appeared as though they were lined with gold foil. It was the most exquisite book she had ever laid eyes on, much less touch. What story could it possibly contain? 'My True Soulmate.’

The clerk was carefully watching us and the situation before he spoke. - Miss this book costs seven thousand three hundred fifty-four dollars and twenty-two cents. The clerk said - I understand. I do not care about the price it is for a gift. Just tell me do you have a terminal for a credit card? Alice said and smiled - Yes we do miss. The clerk said and smiled back

“ How much do you worth, Madelyn? Tell me and I will write out a cheque this instant. Name your price, what exactly would it cost you to disappear out of my life?” Leveling up to him with a scowl on my face, I pushed him. He didn't fall nor stagger a bit. A tall, well chiseled, perfect prince charming. He's flawless in my opinion, except for the despicable behavior of his. “ You can't buy people, Jason. See what I'm talking about? You're way too proud because of how rich you are. Sorry to disappoint you Mr. CEO, but you can't buy my worth. I'm priceless.” I fired back at him but this man didn't budge.

Not a cent was spared, and I was always short. I finally cracked and checked my statements. That was when I found out that Nina regularly used my card to buy gifts for Zach. A gaming console worth thousands. A tailored suit costing over ten grand. On Zach's birthday, she'd booked the entire wing of the five-star Aurelia Grand Hotel, worth over a hundred thousand, to celebrate him. Meanwhile, I had worn the same underwear for two months, and she still refused to replace them. Anything over a hundred dollars was "too expensive". For my birthdays, she scribbled a card, saying she wanted to save money for "our future".

"And i love you more Tinkerbell" he said, as he enveloped me in a warm hug. I rest my head carefully on his broad chest, as i inhale the pef he used. O Allah! How sweet he is. I broke the hug slightly, tears still in my eyes and looked at him. He smiled. I mean the biggest and most beautiful smile I've ever seen. Yaa Rabbi! How lucky am i to have him.

He screamed at me like a madman. However, I simply looked at him calmly, feeling only a deep sadness. I walked up to him, looked him in the eyes, and said slowly, "You know exactly who got you into this mess! If you weren't so greedy and cruel, no one could've destroyed you! Oh, right, a lowly country nobody like me will be watching closely to see how you cry and beg in prison." That was the exact phrase he whispered tauntingly in my ear just hours ago when he was forcing Richard and Leona to eat the lobster rolls.

Jewel smirked in return, loving how her mum had handled it. Pearl was an eighteen years old final year student of Elites Academy. She was one of the most loved student in her set and the Female Sport Prefect because of her athletic prowess and what not. Jewel was a sixteen years old girl which a very great imagination and an adventurous behavior. Unlike her sister, she wasn't into much athletics but was very good at high jump. She also had a very sharp tongue.
