"Don't tell me that you're working on your own romance. How selfish, Mitchell." "Ashley, they're getting ready to open the doors. Let me figure out something to get Liam moving. In the meantime, use that smoldering sexuality of yours to persuade the patrons to spend more money on games of chance," finished Mitchell. "Smoldering sexuality? Me? I like the sound of that. What do you think, Christine? Should I use my smoldering sexuality to lure some suckers into spending money in a good cause?" "By all means," laughed Christine.

Pale-faced and terrified, I clutched Nicholas’s hand, begging him to take me to the hospital. Instead, he kicked me in the stomach—hard. Then another kick. And another. With a chilling laugh, he sneered. "I paid people to frame you for that medical accident. "Theresa, can you believe it? Some people will even die for money. The poor will do anything for cash.

he murmurs as he takes my hand. “Oh.” I frown. God, having money is not worth this. Natasha comes out of the room with Joshua trailing behind her. She’s wearing a navy lace evening gown and she looks amazing. She smiles broadly as she approaches me. “Ashley, you look fucking awesome.” I burst out laughing. How is she so normal? Here we are, flanked by security guards and she is just dropping F-bombs in front of everyone. “You look amazing too,” I whisper as she takes both of my hands in hers to inspect me.

That's it" Ashley read silently and her eyes widened. "What the hell?" She said unconsciously. "Is there a problem Ashley?" Mr Briggs asked and Mr Brown raised his head to look in her direction. "Huh? No no, it's nothing" And the she put her phone in her backpack. 'What? Owen and Edmund? Weren't those the exact same names......No way.... That's impossible..... Gosh!'

Ashley couldn’t believe her ears, she scoffed and stared at the men intently with eyes burning with tears. “I have lots of money… I don’t mind giving you times 10 of the initial payment please don’t hurt us” She pleaded. “Mommy” Kristian’s muffled voice can be heard from behind the car. He couldn’t speak well because he was gagged tightly. Ashley sobs inwardly, the hairs on her body rising at the sound of Kristian calling out to her in pain.

The sight of her took my breath away. She looked like a movie star—Julia Roberts in person, naked.

For no matter what the enemy could do, as long as they were not deserving, the elixir would never exist in front of them. HER BLOOD was pumping deep inside her as she pushed a slightly ajar door. The door swung and crashed against the wall, earning her a few terrified looks. "M—Miss Lily!" A group of statled nuns rushed to her, although were stopped by the eldest of them. "Miss Lily Alston," she greeted, wearing an amicable smile despite the creases on her brows. "May we help you with your troubles?" Lily Alston breathed heavily and frantically looked around. Seeing none of the familiar small figure she needed to see, she quickly pushed past the nuns and entered the convent's backyard.

Someone's heart was beating rapidly, and his face had turned pale. Brewster looked at Ace, who hadn't spared him a glance since he entered, and he felt a pang in his heart. He clenched his fist so hard his knuckles whitened. "Mr Ace is here during this script reading because he is our investor. Isn't he handsome?
