He once pointed at the towering office building and promised me, "Belle, in the future, I'll buy you a house here in this expensive city. It'll be our home. I'll make sure you live a happy life." Cameron patted me on the shoulder. With an earnest expression on his youthful face, he said, "Don't forget about me. I'll definitely buy us a house before Ian does." I could still hear their promises echoing in my ear. Alas, everything changed when Elaine showed up half a year ago.

he poke up not raising his head from his phone. “Honey, that hurt.” she pouted. “What happened to you?” Keith asked sitting up . “What so you mean?” “You should have stayed a friend and nothing more.” “But I don't want that. I want to be your companion and your woman.” “Which you can never be.” He scoffed. “Well I think you've got that all wrong because our engagement is just a month away, remember?” she grinned as she sat up, folding her arms around her torso. With that said, he remembered what had happened yesterday. In the morning he woke up with a splitting headache and also a Fiona in his bed, he was still trying to process what happened when his door opened revealing his mother.

He was so unfazed by my tears. "I need about a hundred and twenty thousand dollars please" I pleaded in tears, my cries drowning my pleas. "Oh fuck. Really?" Braden hiked a brow at me. I nodded frantically at him. He chuckled for a while leaving me confused and fidgety. "You must really be nuts Camilla. I paid you recently didn't I? This is not your paid day yet so wait until it is the end of the month" "I do not have until end of the month!" I yelled out my frustration.

Damon's expression remained unmoved. "As I said, we'll investigate thoroughly. Asking us to accept responsibility before the investigation is complete seems unreasonable, doesn't it?" Jeffrey let out a cold laugh. "Fine, Mr. Sumner. But I hope you act quickly. Every day of delay costs us millions. The longer this drags on, the more Prospectus Technology will have to pay." With that, Jeffrey turned and stormed out of the room. Damon, his expression as icy as ever, summoned the head of the R&D department to his office.

He hadn’t expected it to make his little rabbit so upset. "Yeah, just for the shoes," Scott laughed helplessly. It turned out that a pair of shoes could make a woman work so hard. "Is this the cheapest gift you’re planning to give her?" Kendrick asked again. "No, I didn’t plan to buy them for her." "Then are you planning to get her something better?" "I’d like to, but I want her to earn the money herself and buy it. That way, when she finally gets it, she’ll feel accomplished and happy. It’s called delayed happiness."

"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'."

I knew it would be exactly $100,000. Aleksandr looked over my shoulder. "Still paying?" "Still paying." "You know we don't need the money." "It's not about the money anymore," I said. "If it ever was." "What is it about?" "Consequences. Accountability. The understanding that actions have prices." He kissed my forehead. "My wise, fierce mate." I heard through the vampire network that Damien's family was still struggling. Seventy months of $100,000 payments had kept them as vampires, but at what cost?

My voice dropped, almost begging. Winnie laughed—sharp and grating. "Oh, Ms. Keyne, I'm so sorry." She didn't sound it. "New policy. For client security, all large recharges and renewals must be signed in person by a family member with valid ID. We don't accept remote transfers." "Just bring Maya back. I'm begging you. It's freezing out. She can't handle it. I'm two kilometers away—I'll be there any minute." Tears burned at my eyes. It felt like a fist squeezing my chest.

Then, the line went dead. But Kael still refused to believe it. He frantically tried to reassure himself. They were just overreacting. Elara's Silver Moon bloodline was so noble, how could anything happen to her? His hands shaking, he called his assistant, his voice urgent. "Get the rarest moonstones and the finest gifts for the new pup ready. Immediately!" He slammed his foot on the accelerator, racing back to the pack lands, his mind flashing back to the moment he marked her.
