Something Borrowed Novels & Stories

And escaping by moving across the country would not have helped either. But why would they even borrow that amount of money? I feel anger build in my chest at the thought. They couldn’t repay the money they had borrowed earlier so they took an even bigger loan and wasted that money as well. How could they do something so stupid? These thoughts only make me angry so I change direction instead.

"You know this stuff. You just don't want to." Lee shook his head. "Is there anything I can do to return the favor?" "Nah, you're good," "You sure? I hate being indebted to people." "In that case, I'll save it for a rainy day," I grinned. "Pain in the ass you are." Lee shook his head again. "It's a gift. Mind if I borrow your laptop real quick? Mine died and I wanna check on the boots I ordered yesterday." "I thought you were all about hardwork and diligence when you're not handcuffed."

How is that possible when she’s the one who borrowed this money? “It’s you.” “...” “I lent it, under your name…my lady…”

I still wasn’t used to that nickname. “I’ll get straight to the point. Can I borrow some money?” “I haven’t been paid yet,” he said. “But I know someone who can lend you.” Relief washed over me. “Really? Can I talk to them?” “I’ll call them now. Just meet them at a coffee shop near you. How much do you need?” I hesitated. Borrowing from a stranger felt humiliating… but I had no choice. “I need five thousand.” There was a pause.

I ask her "10 million" she shrugs again. Did I just hear wrong this stupid girl owes people ten million? "Lord bless everything that is holy. How did you even come to owing them that much?" I ask in shock. She takes gum out of her jacket and chucks it into her mouth. "I borrowed it from them" she shrugs as if borrowing that much money was not a crime. Who would borrow that much money to someone with no credit. Then it hits me like a freight train.

"I'll have him escort you back. I still have some business to handle, so I need to leave first." Of course, he wouldn't dare show himself. This debt repayment game needed to end. Once I gave birth, the deal would be over and I'd be free. I didn't want to be deceived by either of them anymore. The server led me back to the main hall through the garden. I happened to run into Alexander and his friends there. When Alexander saw me, his voice immediately changed pitch. "What happened to your mouth?" It seemed Vincent had smudged my lipstick. How vicious of him.

-" Good evening Mr. Gerald, can I talk to you for a moment." -" Sure." -" I would like to work in a friend's club; I need to save some money just in case." -" In case of what?" he asked. -" I don't know, I might need it in the future, I also need to buy some stuff." I lied. -" You can use my debit card for that." -" No, definitely no. I can't take your money." I retorted. -" You won't. You will just borrow money from me until you got paid for the mission you are assigned and then give it back." He explained.

He said. She threw the heels at him but he dodged and it hit the vehicle. "You crack it, am not gonna pay, I borrowed the vehicle for an emergency and here it is, in one piece". His soft lips whispered. "You stole the vehicle". "That's wrong, I borrowed, My English Dictionary version 3.8 tells me that Borrow is To receive something from somebody temporarily, expecting to return it, I just did return it". He said. "You didn't receive it, you took it".

“Now to the real business,” He said squatting next to the bleeding man. “So how do you intend to pay back what you owe me?” “You and I both know I can’t pay back that much money, I can’t,” “And you decided to borrow when you know you can’t pay back?” He barked. “I didn’t take out that much, your interest rates are just too high and ridiculous,” “And you were aware of this? Yeah?” “I wasn’t! Let’s not talk about that, I can’t pay that money but I have something even better for you but you are not just seeing it!”

“Can’t you lend me some cash? Or some chips?” “You want to borrow?” Andre was interested. “I wonder how much you intend to borrow, Mr. Wade?” Charlie stretched out two fingers and said furiously, “I want to borrow two million!” “Two million?!” Andre sneered contemptuously. “Mr. Wade, I’m meeting you for the first time and you’re already asking to borrow money from me. Two million Canadian dollars, in fact! Don’t you think that’s a bit too much? It’d be fine if you can turn things around after I lend you the money, but how are you going to pay me back if you lose the money that I lent to you?”
