Either you pay up, or I’ll take everything you have, starting with your precious career.” Natalie’s mind raced. She couldn’t lose everything. She wouldn’t. ---

“No worries, I’m not resentful. Thank you for apologizing. Although, if this isn’t about me, then why do you want to quit?” “Because this job is completely useless for my career.

"Don’t you need the money?"

Of course, this was tucked into the contract under the guise of a deposit. During the drive home, David moaned in discomfort one moment and hummed contentedly the next. As he was about to get out, he reminded me, "Maddie, don't forget—make sure the two million dollars reaches them first thing tomorrow!"

Her name on every snapshot, every invoice. Her future is becoming stable day by day. At twenty-seven, Aria Blake was world’s apart from the terrified nineteen-year-old who fled her past under the cover of night.

I found the nearest ATM and deposited the money with trembling hands. When the transfer confirmation sounded, my remaining strength finally left me.
