Novel & Cerita The Cost Of Delayed Affection

Our marriage went smoothly and two years later we had Ethan. “Thank you so much Elena” he had said, grinning ear to ear as he stared at the new born in his arms before looking up at me. “You’ve made me a father and I’m sure I’m now that happiest man on earth” he had carefully dropped Ethan and moved towards me, holding my hands and looking into my eyes affectionately. “I promise to never betray you” he had said, putting up two of his fingers to show his seriousness. Eight years had passed and he had broken his promise. It took him only five years to break it, I sighed as I picked up my suitcase and headed to the door, finally leaving the unfamiliar building. I stopped at the table in the lea

That's when I found out how much you have suffered, so I decided to come back for you. He stood up and went on one knee, producing a bouquet of baby's breath out of nowhere. "Will you forgive me for leaving you? I've never forgotten you even after all these years. I've never been with anyone else because, to me, there's only ever been you. Will you give me another chance?" He still remembered that I liked baby's breath. I knew that he was sincere, but… I shook my head, rejecting him cruelly. "I'm sorry, I'm not ready to think about relationships right now. I'm only here today to appease my mom. I really am sorry."

But if he truly cared about me, if he truly cherished what we had, how could he keep sleeping with another woman? Now, flustered and desperate, he looked more like a clown than a lover. He was the one who destroyed our relationship. Did he really believe that if he hid it well enough, I would never find out? The moment I gave away his gifts, he lost control. Would he feel regret if, on our wedding day, I died instead? I took a deep breath and offered a casual excuse. "I noticed the maids were struggling financially. Those gifts could be sold for money. If I gave them cash directly, it might feel condescending. Gifts seemed more appropriate."

"Don't tell me you're actually thinking about getting back together with her." Another person frowned. "You're leaving the country soon. Why would you give Samantha hope now? Aren't you afraid she'll keep clinging to you?" The private room quickly filled with questions. No one understood why I had seemed to soften at the last moment. So I explained, "Instead of letting her give up completely, I'd rather let her keep waiting with hope. The best punishment is for her to spend the rest of her life waiting for something that will never come." … On the day I finally boarded my flight, everyone understood what I meant.

Yeah, right. I scowled at the floating interface. “Nope. Absolutely not. This is ridiculous. I’m not doing it.” SYSTEM: Mission active. Affection potential high. Failure penalized. I muttered something unflattering under my breath, nearly choking on my drink. Affection potential? High? Was the system serious? Dream had already admitted he was mine, whatever that was supposed to mean, and now I was supposed to make him grovel like a caffeinated puppy?

She needs someone that spoils and showers her with gifts. And since we started dating in junior year, the only thing I had done for her was pay for her food. Even I knew I wasn't enough for her, I promise I'm not lazy. I work two jobs to support myself in college which isn't even enough. If not for the fact that I was on scholarship I wouldn't be in college at all. "Please Mia, I promise I will work something out. I just need more time." I pleaded with her, my eyes glistening with tears already.

"And Lucian's burn order?" "Closes," he said. "Immediately. Tonight." I looked at him for a long moment and the room held everything he had just offered and everything it would cost and I was doing the calculation the way I always do calculations, without feeling, in pure structure, and the answer I kept arriving at was the wrong one and I kept running it again. "I need an hour," I said. He looked at me with something that might have been respect and might have been satisfaction and with Dorian Vael I was not sure there was a difference.

"I heard you brought in a new shipment. How are you broke? Think twice before you fool me." Lifting his head, Rosko replied, "Yes, there's a new shipment, but it hasn't become profitable yet. Can't you just give me a few days?" "A few days?" the man leaned in. "Each day you delay adds a hundred thousand in interest. If you can't pay, I'll find someone else to run the site. They'll be glad to hand over protection fees." Rosko's face darkened. "Fine. I'll call and get someone to bring it."

Morpheus remained expressionless and silent. Rebecca forced a smile. "It costs 40,000 dollars just for her to experiment with!" "Are you done?" he asked coldly. "The taxi is arriving. You should leave." "You just don't want to face reality!" She walked to him. "Morpheus… I know what you're thinking. You just can't stop loving her. But the two of you are from different worlds! She's playing with fireworks that cost 40,000 dollars each! Can you fulfill her needs?
