The Deal Novels & Stories

“Do we have a deal?” “Ten million dollars. One million in cash. Four million to the account I will provide, and five million in bitcoin. I’ll call you when to meet, no cops, no extra heads. If I found out you’re bringing your buddies from Osmium, the deal is off. Take your lady friend with you.” “Why?” I stared at Olive, who was looking at me. “If you betray me, I’ll shoot her in the leg to slow you down.” Lynx mouthed. “Ask for proof.”

I retorted, giving him an over sweet smile. "Don't make me repent this deal." "Oh, I already am." "Remember $8000." I waved him off. "Yeah yeah. Whatever." He smirked, knowing he got me there. "So it's a done deal for three months?" He raised his eyebrows, putting his hand forth for a handshake.

“Hundred million dollars or not!” “It was a fucking deal. We made a fucking deal!” Leonardo, gathering his strengths jolted forward to him and a raucous laughter fled his cold lips as his hands held him back. “A deal with who?” Colton asked. “With the devil—you know you don’t do that.”

A few seconds of silence passed between us and she replied, “We have a deal for you.” My eyes lit up at the sound of a deal. A feeling of happiness filled me but I needed to know, was this deal something that I would like? “What’s the deal? Does it involve me and Liam walking out of here?” She shook her head slowly and then breathed out a sigh. “One. The deal is centered around only one of you walking out. And that’s you.” “No.” I did not miss a beat. “Then get me another deal, because I am not throwing Liam under the bus. There is no way that I’m doing that.”

" Deal? Who the hell told him I had a deal with her? Miles was always attentive, so his finding out about the deal didn't shake me up. Still, I acted dumb. " what do you mean by the deal? " I filled my glass up with some red wine and gulp down half of it. " I meant, what's up with you and her being in a "relationship" out of the blue? Aren't we still consoling you over your divorce from Rachel?" Rachel. her name alone got the blood rushing to my head. " You should know that I've my fair share of pain with Rachel and since we are no longer married I thought it was time for me to move on since I believe she is doing the same too."

He snapped. “I’ve done my end of the bargain and that's marrying the senator's daughter and I expect you to play your part !” Stefan added. Silence… “Cut the crap man, you and I know I don't love her. The wedding arrangement was obviously for the public’s eye,” Stefan said. I felt a pang hit my chest, as I backed away for a bit at his harsh choice of words. And all I could recall was that I was hurt and my head throbbed like someone had shoved a jackhammer in there.

“You’re in a contract.” Noah threw his hands up. “Same thing!” For a moment, silence filled the room sharp and tense Then Ethan said quietly, “I’ll double it.” Noah blinked. “What?” “The payment,” Ethan said. “Make it a billion.” Noah stared. “You think money fixes everything?” “It fixes most things.” Noah laughed, short and bitter. “You’re unbelievable.” Ethan stepped closer, voice lower now. “I’m giving you an out. Take the deal, Noah. Walk away rich. Or walk away broke and let my father win.”

“How do you know about the deal?” I could tell that question had been at the tip of his tongue all this while. “I read your lips,’’ I confessed. “Hmm–’’ he sniffed again and I shivered. “You want me to turn down five hundred million dollars for a flimsy hope of you making more? I don’t think so.” “No, I want to make a deal with the devil.” He smiled, and it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. “A deal over a deal? Since you’re so confident, here’s my deal. Make me six billion in six months? That's the only way I won't sell you off.”

Zoe said folding her arms. "So, we got a deal?" Alex asked leaning on Zoe. I don't think this would be hard. "Deal" I replied shaking hands with them. Such crazy friends I got. ÷... ÷

That was the only way I would get through this mess and not lose everything it had taken me years to acquire. I leaned back into my chair, certain it would only be a question of time before she came round. She would agree to the deal-I was sure of it. And with that, everything would fall into place. *** Two days later, Chloe stood in my office again, but this time, her expression was different. Resigned, yet determined. “I’ll do it,” she said, her voice firm. Relief washed over me, though I schooled my face into neutrality. “Great. We’ll get the contract typed up immediately.”
