Tom Robbins Net Worth

After spending the past month working overtime and burning the midnight oil every day, I finally closed a business deal that's worth 50 million dollars before the company's annual dinner. My boss, William Lewis, begins giving away the end-of-the-year bonuses with a wide smile on his face. "The finance director helped our company save three million dollars worth of taxes. He will receive a villa by the river as a gift." "The head of IT led the team and solved various difficult problems. He shall receive 200 thousand dollars in cash." "Lily Lane, the receptionist, has always shown a great attitude whenever she greets the clients. She shall receive a Hermes bag." When it's my turn, I wipe the sweat off my palms before accepting my bonus. But upon opening the giftbox, I see three entrance tickets to the local zoo instead. "You must be sick of receiving commissions all the time as the sales director. Why don't you take advantage of this holiday to spend some quality time with your family?" On the way home, I dial a number. "Mr. Skylar, there's a problem with the 50-million-dollar contract. Let's discuss it later."

Somewhere between staying silent and screaming for help… she existed. Seventeen-year-old Maren has mastered the art of disappearing in plain sight. Haunted by past trauma, locked in a toxic relationship she can't escape, and drowning under the pressure of school and a world that never cared to understand her, she begins to wonder if life is even worth staying for. No one sees her pain—until he does. The new boy, Kade, has his own shadows. He’s blunt, observant, and completely unafraid to call her out—making him an instant enemy. But when he overhears a moment no one was meant to witness, he realizes the truth: the girl everyone overlooks is barely holding on. As Kade steps deeper into her shattered world, their connection becomes a lifeline. But secrets run deeper than he imagined, and when Maren goes missing, no one believes she’s worth finding—except him. Fighting time, silence, and the lies that built her cage, Kade refuses to give up. Because sometimes, saving someone means proving they were never invisible at all. A heartbreaking, haunting, and ultimately hopeful story about survival, truth, and what it really means to be seen.

Being blinded by the intensity of the shadow, Eerah Age Ferit agrees to being a cover up for an accident that happened between two rival families. Without asking much, she nods her head and signed the marriage contract. Innocent, naive, and nothing but a disappointment to her family, she accepted her destiny to be the stranger's wife. However, Atlas Omergin never leave the spotlight. He is not a shadow. He is the light. Learning about how beautiful exploration is has made his life colorful. Playboy, ruthless, and a black sheep to his family, he declined the contract at first. But after he found out a fact about the family, he did not think twice and signed the contract. When the two meets for the first time, both felt heat... in different perspective. Ones heat is for madness. And the other one feels heat from a broken piece of a woman. As their life begins from being a mistake, will Atlas opens his heart to a person he doesn't know? Or will he close it before it opens... because for him, she doesn't matter at all. Even her mere presence disgust him. For Eerah, is this marriage worth her life? Is being married to the ruthless Vice Mayor's son worth fighting for?

Le jour où je devais essayer des robes de mariée avec Charles Jaspier, le chef de la mafia que j'avais aimé pendant sept ans, je suis entrée avec le plus grand espoir dans la boutique en tenant un rapport de test de grossesse. Mais j'ai entendu par hasard une conversation qui a tout brisé. « L'enregistrement du mariage avec Ellis Olsen n'était qu'une mesure temporaire, » a-t-il déclaré calmement à son plus proche confident. « Mon frère est mort dans une fusillade. Elle était enceinte du seul héritier de la famille Jaspier. Sans statut légal, ni elle ni l'enfant y survivraient. » « Tout le monde les maltraiterait. » Un cigare entre les doigts, sa voix était froide, teintée d'impuissance. « Zoey Qandor ne peut pas posséder de statut légal - mais je peux lui donner tout le reste. Mon amour. Mon argent. Elle ne doit jamais l'apprendre. » J'ai saisi le rapport de teste de grossesse avec le cœur mort. Ma meilleure amie m'a aidée à créer une nouvelle identité pour que Charles ne me retrouve jamais et que je puisse disparaître de son monde. S'il ne pouvait pas offrir à mon enfant et à moi une famille complète, alors il valait mieux rompre net cet amour bâti sur la responsabilité et les mensonges, une fois pour toutes.

Mi hija Sofí era una pianista muy reconocida. El día de la final, alguien la encerró en el baño y, confundida, perdió la oportunidad de ganar el campeonato. Revisé las cámaras, descubrí a la culpable y me preparé para denunciar esa trampa. Pero mi esposo Andrés, me detuvo con firmeza. —Es solo una travesura de niños.

En ese momento, Sofía me tomó de la mano, aguantando las lágrimas. —Mamá, ya no quiero el campeonato. Y tampoco quiero a papá. Apreté su mano con fuerza. —Está bien. Si tú no lo quieres a él, yo tampoco lo quiero.

To Be Loved Like This tells the story of Raegan, a woman who finds herself, not in the innocence of first love, but in the aftermath of becoming. Through the weight of loneliness, past wounds, and lives already lived, her self worth grows into something rare: a love that is steady, intentional, and safe.

It was forbidden, a sin, but none of these men seemed to understand that. They all wanted to antagonize her, unveil her, tempt her, and pursue her. "A commoner is worth more than a grain of sand, a Half breed is even worse, and you are both, the worst of two worlds, truly you are pitiful….but your fidelity happens to be worth more than both noble and commoner combined. Is that not an interesting fact?"— Oliviér Lé Fóix.
