The Gift Star Trek: Voyager Novels & Stories

"Hannah, look—so innocent yet alluring. It's perfect for me, isn't it?" I had gifted it to her because she loved it. My hands shook as I picked up the delicate, nearly transparent cloth. My throat closed up, and my head spun. The doubt I'd buried deep inside finally broke free. Confusion and pain crashed over me. Before I could even think, the violent sound of colliding cars split the air. Then, blackness swallowed me whole.

Turns out it Was fun, for them. The surprise he got me is the worst thing one can possibly do to another. "Alpha, this is the gift!" Not too long after the crowd forgot our little outburst, Lola charges back into the room, "the gift" behind her back as she grins at Alpha Damon. The gift is a file folder.

"Don't worry, I've booked the most expensive hotel there; you guys just go and have fun." "You shouldn't have to do this." Caterina accepted the gift happily. Although it was only a small gift for them, she was still happy to receive it. Gifts were a sign of love. It was not good to refuse someone else's gift. "This is from Gabriel and me."

Moreover, it was the most expensive cruise ship in the world. The gift given by Rossie was quite expensive.

He was sitting on the couch, a big grin on his face and a small gift box in his hand. "Hey, Ghost!" he exclaimed, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "I got you something!" Ghost raised an eyebrow as she approached him. "What is it?" she asked, her voice neutral. Hacker held out the gift box, his grin faltering for a moment as Ghost took it from him. She opened the box, revealing a small, delicate necklace inside. "It's pretty," Ghost said, her voice softening slightly. Hacker's grin returned. "I thought you'd like it! I saw it and immediately thought of you."

Graham did not need to return with him at all since he would still be working in the Heisenberg Group. When Javier arrived in the bedroom, he saw Graham’s wife, who had just finished her surgery. Then, he placed the gift he had brought with him, which were some nourishment products. To Javier, they were not expensive, but they were products that Graham and his wife would only see on the television. Graham did not dare to accept the gifts. “Mr. Kersey, you’ve already loaned us 30 thousand dollars previously, so this gift is too much for me to accept. I—”

he said, bowing low, “a gift has arrived from Decreash.” That caught both their attention. Gotham and Yumi exchanged a glance. “Bring it to the throne room,” Gotham commanded. With a puzzled look, he turned to steal a glance at his wife, but she looked just as clueless as he was. When the gift was brought in, even the guards strained beneath the weight of the box.

Fucking amazing, as expected of my influence hahaha,’ Dina thought with a wicked smile.

Something ugly tugged at his gut but he decided to ignore it in favor of savoring the moment. He fetched the basin of water and a cloth, cleaning himself. He cannot take his eyes off of the gift the whole time. Even as he finally laid down in his mattress, his eyes never left the gift. How could he? It’s Ainar’s gift. Can’t help the giddiness in him, he ended up staying up late, staring at the stone in his shelf. He has never received anything like this, or anything in a form of a gift his whole life.

"What's truly a shame is that such a wonderful man ended up with such a terrible wife. If you ask me, Edwin belongs with Esme. They're the perfect match." Esme blushed, nudging Mom shyly before sneaking a glance at Edwin. He lowered his head and sipped his wine. He neither refuted nor agreed. But his answer came during the gift exchange.
