Novel & Cerita Rachel Price Book

After ten years studying interior design overseas, I came back to my hometown to do work that mattered to the people who raised me. I offered the full package, from site survey to soft furnishings. The materials were chosen by hand. The price was fair to the bone. The town had just gone through a redevelopment. Everyone was getting new units. With the new family policy, every family wanted a third bedroom too. My business was good. Customers from the next county were driving in. Then a girl just back from a city college kicked open my studio with her phone on a livestream and her neighbors at her shoulder. "This is the dishonest one. Look at her. She has been ripping the village off." "

“If you somehow manage to outbid Richard in this auction, I’ll bow down to you and apologize. But if he outbids you—as we both know he will—then you will get on your knees and apologize to every single person here.” Bianca smiled, calm and confident. “Good.” I could only stare at her, utterly mesmerized by her stupidity. It was on another level. Even the guests around us couldn’t hide their disbelief. Their voices rose in a chorus of murmurs and open mockery. “Is that lady out of her mind?” one bidder whispered loudly. “She’s challenging the Almighty Richard Riley of the Riley family?” Another shook his head. “Joshua Riley is the CEO of GLK Pharmaceuticals. He’s produced so many reputable dr

Then I created an anonymous email address and posted the message on a business forum where wealthy people sometimes posted for private arrangements and personal assistants. My finger hovered over the mouse. "If this works, Lily lives," I whispered. I clicked post. Nothing happened for a long time. I sat there watching the screen, feeling more foolish by the minute. Then a notification sound came from the computer. One new email. I clicked it. The message inside was short. It was just two lines that read: I am interested in your offer. Name your price. It was signed: L. K.

That is our shop you can come there at any time she said. I asked for the price and she told me to look at the back of the book. I immediately turned the book and saw ten dollars written and pasted on the back cover. I had only 5 dollars in my pocket. I knew there was no way my 5 dollars could buy a book of 10 dollars’ worth. I had a thought to bargain if the price could come down.

Nyra’s POV I sat on the bed and placed Elaine’s book in front of me. For a moment I did nothing else. I just looked at it properly. In the library it had felt old and important. Here, on my bed, in this room, it felt stranger than that. More private. More dangerous. Like it did not want to be mistaken for a random old text preserved for curiosity’s sake. It was thick and heavy, yes, but now that I was alone with it I noticed more. The cover was not ordinary leather at all. Up close, the texture was wrong in a way that raised the hair on my arms. It had a faint pattern under the dark surface, not visible at first glance but there when the light caught it sideways. Not wolf hide. Not cow leath

It had all come with the ring. And yet… even now… Even knowing all she knew… She would still sign her name beside his. Because that was the price of the name Avancii. And she would pay it. A thousand times over.

Williams will serve as acting chairwoman effective immediately. Then, in front of every major shareholder, I sold the absurdly expensive pink diamond—the so-called "Ocean Rose." With that money, which was my personal fortune, I patched up the company's financial shortfall. The shareholders, seeing their investments saved, breathed a collective sigh of relief. Next, I revamped the collaboration proposal with the Blackburn Group and chased down Mr. Blackburn at every event he attended. I took every spare second I could to speak with him, pitching the revised project with quiet persistence.

The check, made payable to Rachel Clark, was for three hundred and forty thousand dollars. “That’s a hundred thou for the first book, plus the same for each of the other three, minus my fifteen percent, of course. We can always re-negotiate the amount if Legal Briefs is the blockbuster bestseller Peter and I think it will be. He’s been in this business a very long time and Prelude doesn’t usually offer such a lucrative deal on a first novel. Whatever Rumpelstiltskin did to that manuscript, it was more than worth his weight in gold.”

Patel breezed in like a tornado of rose-scented judgment. “Anna! Jace! I brought The Bhagavad Gita for Babies! It’s never too early for spiritual depth!” “Oh... thank you,” I said, taking the book with what I hoped was grace and not panic. Nathan immediately tried to eat it. “And don’t forget, my niece’s wedding is next week,” she added, eyeing Jace’s shirtless state and tousled hair. “You’ll need a kurta. I’ll measure you.” Jace made a noise like a dying cat.

After shaking hands and introductions, we all sat down and called a waiter to order food. “So, ladies, I believe your offer in purchasing the Pryce Winsley Academy doubling its worth is truly promising. But... I’m not selling it. Even though Miss Jennings says otherwise, I owned the bigger part of it, so the decision is mine that should be followed.” He asserted and leaned back in his chair after he heard our lawyer's statement about our greatest concern. And I lifted my gaze to look at him. “Name your price, Mr. Herrera. We could make it more than double its worth. How about let’s make it five times?” I replied and asked him, making him let out a chuckle, and he seemed don’t know what to sa
