Winner Takes All Novels & Stories

Michael paid for them. The 5,000-square-foot apartment in the city center and that red sports car? Joel bought them for her. After the court ruled in our favor, we moved fast. We had Rachel's apartment locks changed and took the car keys back. Aside from a single SIM card, even her phone was given to us. "Ms. Brooklyn, Ms. Murphy… What did I ever do to deserve this? Why are you teaming up to humiliate me like this? I… I can't live like this anymore…" Rachel wailed.

We were still on live air, but they talked out of the camera’s view. Moments later, Steve came back. “Well,” he said, clapping his hands together. “I’m happy to announce that Willow has just run out of products. Which makes her the automatic champion of the day.” Streamers exploded from the roof, trickling down onto us, as loud victory music played. Beatrice was cast aside as Steve produced a trophy and an oversized cheque. Adonis and I hugged. We’d done it. We’d won the show. Accepting the trophy, I glanced over at Beatrice. Only this time, it was me who had the smug smile.

Their water guns now raised as they move to look at their Queen. “The rules are simple. The first one to be hit a total of five times is out. The last one standing is the winner and only then, may they claim their prize” says Isabella with a smooth smile along her lips. Her eyes now locked on each of her men as she watches them from a far. Lucus now purring as he moves to coo back. “Bring it on little girl. Just know that once we win, your ass won’t be so lucky.” “Big words for someone who might lose to a girl” taunts Isabella, her smile growing.

Once the ten winners have secured the spots, two will be chosen among those who have lost their matches and will be given the chance to complete the 'twelve'. Since the Selection started at Monday, the results will be out on the next Monday. The crowd roared in awe as the umpire declared the conclusion of the battle to Anne's triumph. She reached her hand out for a handshake which her opponent received with sincerity. Lucky for her, the girl most likely resides on a place further from the Capitol. She did not recognize the Princess at all, much to Anne's relief. People, mostly on the front seats were counting and exchanging pouches of silver. It is a gambling practice common to them, and it

Some parts are duplicates, and the objective was to complete the map and retrieve all five treasures. “Of course, it wouldn’t be that simple,” Sasha cussed quietly as the video played. “It might not be a death game, but there are limited winners. Either that or everyone loses because of greed and people who attempt to backstab or covet from others.” Silently, Zen agreed as he listened to the rules and point system. Every map piece was a point, including duplicates. The only way for everyone to win this event was to not do anything. However, none of the mafiosi believed in equality. There were bound to be a few who would seek to get ahead of someone else. Hence, the only result of this game w

All the women go around picking a car and finally, the race starts. The cars zoom by so fast it's hard to tell who is winning, the booth is silent with tension, who is going to win the 500 million dollars on the table? Soon the red car catches up, pulling up towards the front, “Yes please”… “come on” I whisper to myself as number eleven goes toe to toe with number one. “And Number Eleven is the winner!! His first ever win this season!!” the announcer screams followed by my squeal My hands go around Dominic who looks shocked, he was willing to give up the money and here he is the winner of it all.

“Please sir....don’t be too harsh. Mike may have done wrong, but I worked hard too. You can't just revoke our win.” The spokesperson doesn’t budge. His tone is flat, and final. “You are a team. Whatever he does reflects on you. From this moment, it will be assumed you and Mike did not participate in today’s contest. And since all other contestants failed, there is no winner for today. That is the end.” Relief hums through me. Exactly as I ordered him to frame it. A quiet victory. I glance at Winter. She’s smiling, her eyes bright with satisfaction. I offer my hand. “Come on. Let’s go. I have a surprise for you.”

That exact moment paved the path to this ground for me. "The last competition is for the gold medal and the title Warrior King Or Queen." The Gamma leader stood up from his seat beside Alpha King Aramis, "And the two warriors who have been qualified for this final competition are the beta Tanner Knight of the Silver Hunters Pack and Phoenix Hart, a Gamma of The Dark Autumn Pack. I straightened my back, hearing my name while Tanner joined the stadium from the opposite side. The applause encouraged Tanner. He was a male werewolf, and everybody expected his victory right off the bat. The Alpha King Aramis smiled just a little. He looked proud of Tanner.

Three calls in a row. At that moment, my father's voice could not hide his excitement. "Sophie, I truly didn't expect this. You're incredible. "Three straight wins, all upset scores. Even if I handled it myself, I might not have managed something this clean." Marissa cried with joy and immediately took out her phone to spread the news. It was not only the Harbor City circles. The whole internet went wild. The tags "Sophie Bell's three-win miracle" and "the strongest young betting queen" shot straight to the top of every trending list.

I took a few deep breaths before taking the mic from him and facing the crowd, all of whom were wearing different expressions on their faces. Some were happy, some were dissatisfied, and some didn't hide their anger. One of those who didn't hide his anger was Victor Wheeler, who appeared to have already lost even though Arnold hadn't revealed who the winner was yet. Perhaps he had already sensed that Arnold would choose me over him. ‘‘I would like to thank my husband for giving me this opportunity to compete with other companies even though I'm only new to this world of business, but I promise to give my everything on this project. Thank you…’’
