Two For The Money Novels & Stories

Vance whispered, his low, sandpaper baritone cutting through the microphone audio like a heavy iron block. The entire ballroom went completely dead silent. The announcer froze on the stage, his gold gavel hovering inches above the wooden block, his eyes wide with absolute shock. Fifty million dollars was an astronomical amount—a sum that could buy an entire shipping subsidiary, spent casually on a single vintage watch just to flex a billionaire's financial muscle in front of the city's elite.

“The number you dialed is currently powered off.” Damien’s expression instantly changed. He didn’t even bother responding when Violetta called after him from behind. He immediately turned and rushed out. As he passed a jewelry store, he suddenly stopped the car and bought a pair of diamond earrings I had once looked at but never purchased. Then he ordered an entire car full of white roses from a flower shop. As if doing that could somehow make up for everything. But when he rushed back to the estate, the living room was frighteningly quiet.

"That's private and has nothing to do with the case! I'm saying nothing!" I was frustrated, but Felix wasn't at all fazed by my outburst. His eyes never left me as he added, "We also found out your mother needed 75 grand for her surgery last month, but Shawn paid off his gambling debts with that money right before the surgery could happen. "Your mother died. That's why you broke up with him. You hated him, so you wanted to kill him! That's your motive, isn't it?"

Everyone in the Blood Moon pack is whispering that Alpha Cassian Ward only allows his pack to spend ten dollars a day. Yes, ten dollars. It's not a pack tradition, nor a decree from the elders. The rule comes from his new financial planner, Mira Langford. Even as Luna, the moment they discover I've spent a single dollar more—on medicine, no less—they drag me out and whip me 20 times in public. By the second lash, my back splits open, blood soaking through my skirt.

And by doing this, we can avoid someone who might meddle with our relationship again. “I don’t have enough money to buy that land, En,” I said. “I already spent my savings because of the assets that I bought last month.” I bought our current house and additional two cars. The first car is for Millie while the other one is for me. The old one that I am using was stuck in our house so we will have a spare car just in case. “Then, I will use my money,” he said. “You can just pay me back whenever you want or you don’t really need to pay me back since what is mine is also yours. That is an additional asset, right?”

“Congratulations baby!” “Thank you, bestie!” Scarlet winked at her. “Congratulations mommy!!!” Natasha and Taylor said in unison and Scarlet peck their cheek, the twins were sitting in between her on the couch. Dolly picked her phone to message her boyfriend online but she saw the news about Ford. “I see your grandma has listened to your cry, huh?” She smirked at Scarlet knowingly. Scarlet scoffed, “He deserves it.” “Yeah, he truly does.” Dolly nods and then she suddenly said. “How is the contract going?”

She starts tearing up again. Karin quickly gets up and goes to her, hugging her frame gently. "Hey, hey, hey! Don't cry again and don't beat yourself up because of him." She sighs. "You should be happy and like you said, you are indeed lucky to have witnessed what happened yourself because if you were told, you wouldn't believe it and might even think..." Ella cuts in. "that the individual or person is jealous." She pulls away from her sister's hold and looks up at her. "So you are not mad about the money we are going to forfeit because of the wedding?"

Claren said, "Love without money Is just like love plus marriage minus money Is equal to failure, so scout for money and buy power, when you have money and power, you will become popular, and fame will be going around with you" Steve said, "Dad, am thinking about how to establish a relationship with my childhood friends, you are telling about money, powers and fame" Claren said, "how did my thinking and your explanation resemble each other?" he asked,

"Then what've you got, Ryker? Because I don't do charity." I almost heard Ryker unraveling within, the self-assurance seeping out like air from an exploded pouch. Then from far down the table Aurelia's biting voice intruded into the tense air. "There's an alternative payment." Every head turned. Aurelia, in a gown far too expensive for a pack on the verge of failure, lazily twirled a jeweled ring on her finger. Her painted smile curved into a wicked grin. Kaidën didn't even blink. "This better be worth my time."

The next two weeks passed quickly for Ammy. She met Liam a few times and they exchanged countless letters to finalize the money exchange. Eventually, as Liam predicted, their progress was stagnated by the laws of omega ownership. The amount of money that Ammy would have access to was usually given to omegas in small payments over their lives. Ammy was insistent to both Jason and Liam that he wanted the money all at once. She wouldn't give Jason the chance to rip the money from her at a future time, not that Jason seemed like the sort to do so. Ammy had learned early and often in her life to trust others sparingly, or ideally, not at all.
