Novel & Cerita The Price Is Your Everything Novel

Nyra’s POV I sat on the bed and placed Elaine’s book in front of me. For a moment I did nothing else. I just looked at it properly. In the library it had felt old and important. Here, on my bed, in this room, it felt stranger than that. More private. More dangerous. Like it did not want to be mistaken for a random old text preserved for curiosity’s sake. It was thick and heavy, yes, but now that I was alone with it I noticed more. The cover was not ordinary leather at all. Up close, the texture was wrong in a way that raised the hair on my arms. It had a faint pattern under the dark surface, not visible at first glance but there when the light caught it sideways. Not wolf hide. Not cow leath

Tears and mucus were streaming down his face. “Heartless?” I smiled, radiant and bright. “Compared to what you did to me on our wedding day, this is nothing. “Lucian, adults must pay the price for their choices. “Your youth was expensive—this was the price you owed.” With that, I waved my hand. “Drag him away. From now on, this man will not be allowed within half a step of Cross Industries' offices. “Anyone who lets him in will be fired.” “Yes, Miss Cross!”

The glass is still warm in my hand. The truth waits between us. And I don’t know yet if it’s going to cost me everything.

“This was supposed to be your Valentine’s gift, but everything went to shit and I completely forgot.” Draven glanced at it, still grinding against her. “What the hell am I supposed to do with a book? Don’t bore me, Selene. I’m so goddamn horny.” He kissed her neck harder, squeezing her breasts. “Calm down,” she laughed, “The gift is what’s inside.” He took the book from her hands. “Her Price, His Obsession,” he read aloud. “What’s in it?” Selene opened to chapters 15 and 16, then passed it back to him.

In fact, I was so panicked that my speech failed me. Julia opened the box, lifted the cover, and took out the glass trophy I usually handled with the utmost care. "It says 'First Prize for Information Science.' What's so special about this cheap trophy? It's in such a fancy box. Let's smash it!" Julia said. I cried out, "No! Don't smash it!" As Julia raised the trophy over her head to smash it, I ignored my pain and scrambled to my feet while shouting, "You can break anything else. Give that trophy back to me, please."

“Maple effect?” “Probably.” “You buying it?” Elliot checked the price. “Twelve dollars.” “If you want it, buy it.” “I wonder how much it costs new.” “I don’t know. But this one isn’t new.” “I know.” “Then decide whether this book is worth twelve dollars to you.” Elliot looked down at it. He flipped through several pages and thought for a while. “...It is.” “Then there you go.” Elliot went to pay. When he came back, Riley was smiling slightly.

It also made sense why they named themselves after the book, it was what brought them into the realisation of a potential threat. Mum went further to say that the book had powers beyond what the mind could understand, and she mentioned that with the book one could skip the necessary balance. “What do you mean by the necessary balance?” I inquired, barely holding my excitement as she told it all to me. “The necessary balance, um, how will I explain this?” She clicked her tongue severally. “It is a simple term that means magic had a price, it always had a price.” Squinting my eyebrows, I said, “Always had a price? What is the price, how much? How do we quantify the….”

When I inquired about the pricing, I was told to look in the back. The cost of the item was ten dollars. I attempted to bargain for a lower price. I gave a price of $5. She glanced at me and said, "Handsome, you don't have any money, bring the $5." She simultaneously collected the money and the book. She wrapped it and offered it to me, then took out her card and urged me to take it, but I was bored since she talked too much.

I said to myself which Nova heard. "What do you mean?!" Nova was shocked at the price, not because it was expensive, because It was too cheap. All the things she bought was not less than 50 dollars, the total price doesn't even exceed 500 dollars. "How the hell did you fit that money for all of this!?" She bought three closets, paint, a new mattress, the bedframe, bedsheets, a new vanity, new towels, new bookshelves, and even new clothes! All under 500 hundred dollars! Isn't that crazy?

“What if I told you I could take them all down? Every copy. Every post. Gone in minutes.” My heart stuttered. “You can?” He chuckled softly. “Of course I can. I know things… and people.” “Then do it,” I demanded, turning sharply to face him. “If you have any decency left, just—” “Oh, Lessie,” he murmured, stepping closer until I had to tilt my head back to meet his eyes. “You really think I’d do something like that for free?” My stomach sank. “What do you mean?” “I mean,” he said, his tone suddenly colder, sharper, “everything has a price.”
