What, is his coat Mary Poppins handbag? He hands me the envelope, which I gladly take and open to find – much to my surprise – Pts250,000 all in 10,000 authentic note denominations. Based on the current conversation rate, 500,000 pesetas would come out to 1,000,000 drachma. This is one hell of a pay day just to off one shitty driver.

"One point five million." Gelsomina suddenly raised her paddle, malice gleaming in her eyes. She'd noticed the change in how Tommaso looked at me. That unprecedented tenderness drove her mad with jealousy that her voice became as sharp as nails scraping across a chalkboard. "Two million." I calmly raised my paddle without looking at her. "Three million!" Gelsomina shrieked, her face flushing red with rage. "Five million." "Eight million!" She was practically roaring now.

The day before our wedding, my fiance, Brandon Foster, and his girl bestie pulled out their wedding certificate at the casino. Brandon shrugged as he said, "It's just a joke—we'll be divorced tomorrow, and everyone knows that Wanda and I are strictly platonic." Wanda Stiles, however, was smiling provokingly. "Come on—they say marriage is sacred, so you guys can quit gawking already and hand us our wedding presents!" Everyone around the table laughed, with someone saying, "Alright! I own a business in the West End, and you can have it for your wedding… if you beat me at the dice game. Table rules." I didn't argue and merely sat at the table, smiling faintly as I met Brandon's frown. "The

“Fuck!” Clint cursed. He was enjoying the company of three strippers since last night and he doesn’t want to be bothered right now. “What else?” “Nothing, we had to postpone because she had stomach cramps” “Did Mr. Yates leave her anything?” “15%” Clint could only whistle. 15% of billions is still a lot. “How much does my princess have?” he continued to ask of the breakdown and Minerva continued to answer him. “What do we do now? I cannot let that Linda Lopez get a piece of the pie” Minerva asked in panicked.

Now she was inhaling and exhaling frantically as she eyed the kn*fe thinking of ways to gently pull it out. “D*mn it hurts like hell. Why make me suffer if you only want me dead?” she complains as she looks up. The rain is still pouring heavily and it begins to hurt her eyes the more she keeps staring. She decided to stop struggling and kept them close. "It's futile anyway, let me have one sweet dream just this once." It sounded more like a fervent prayer than a request. *** "Welcome home sweet pea." Her mom kisses her left cheek and ushers her to the dining table. Then gets back to the kitchen counter. "I cooked your favorite for dinner."

“We tried it.” “Okayyyyyy,” Rose drawls out. Amelia rolls her eyes but she’s clearly excited with the way she leans in so her words don’t escape the table. The smell of cheese, meat and cream invade my nostrils. I push the lunch tray. Our best friend passes the tablet to us and this time we look at it carefully. There are numbers from two days ago. There’s a dollar sign on the left and on closer inspection, I notice the graph fluctuates between one and two dollars. I think I get it now. I pass the table to Rose.

"Mr. Cohen, one unit is $1 million, so 100 units is $100 million. Are you sure?" Alex raised his hand to signal for Josie to calm down and wrote another figure behind the number. He then said to Zachary, "Your turn. No matter how you add it, even if you just add a zero between your two 1’s and change it to 101 units, I’ll add another zero to buy 1,000 units.

She saw a chair and sat down as someone made their way to the door and answered. "Good morning Penelope, how can I help?" "Good morning, Dr. Paxton. This is Luna Riley. She is visiting from the Silver Moon Pack. She's been sick all morning, and we were hoping you would see her?" "Of course, come in, Riley! Let's get you in the exam room." "Thank you, Dr. Paxton."

The feather brooch glimmered under the spotlight, a piece of my shattered past. This was no longer a party. This was a mission. I sat up straight, my entire focus narrowing on that single piece of silver. It was coming home with me. “You like it that much?” Kade’s low voice murmured near my ear.
