“Tell me Denver.” I brushed my lips to her hair, breathing the scent of her crowning glory. “Have you really thought of me as just a hired wife from the start? I mean I know that we have recited marriage vows in front of a judge but the only witness to that is the judge and us.” “And?” I inhaled the fragrance of the salty sea. “Are you just after my body?” Wisdom is now seated beside me, ears waiting for my reply. “No.” “No?” “No. Because a woman is not a property that can merely be bought and sold again. A woman like you Wisdom is a treasure that I have spent my entire fortune just to be mine.”

she said trying to wipe off her tears but fresh ones won't stop coming. "You are not beautiful, you are not wealth, you don't even have a good background, an orphan and to crown it all, you have an heart problem that you need a transplant, and you expect me to borrow funds for you. You don't worth it" Peter said and handed over an envelope to her. "You are getting married to the president's daughter?" She forced herself to yell in shocked, she read the envelope over and over again, as she couldnt believe her eye still.

To leave is the best thing to do at the moment. His phone ring again. This time, he have to answer the call. "Boss. The receiver is in the hospital. Have you tracked the phone now?" "No! I'm leaving the hospital now!" "But boss.." Adam turned off his phone. In the human world, money is very important. It's what makes the world go round.

"Me? You're a self-made man. You have the personal numbers of leaders across the globe. If you sneeze, Wall Street jumps fifty points. Why would you envy me?" "All that I've done, all that I will ever do, it will be abstract, all coming down to numbers. I admit I'm a bit of a savant when it comes to money, but fortunes are made and lost every day. Long after anyone remembers either of us, your rockers will still be here. And while everyone wants money, you can't rock your child in it, you can't snuggle the love of your life with hundred dollar bills. More love will come across the seats of your creations than will ever be achieved by money, mine or anyone else's. Jen was right about you."

The Ulterior Motives Treasure had spent days in a strange yet intense quietness with Jake. As she thought to herself, she pondered whether the protection he offered was for her sake or motivated by a love for money. Now, she found it difficult to trust him. "Money can drive some people to madness. Now I have realized just how far people will go for the love of money. People don’t care who they hurt for that green cash. Money has more power than I expected."

It’ll get me through this. Two cashmere sweaters (both gifts from a man who no longer exists, soft but stained with memories). Burn them? Keep them? Why does everything feel like a landmine? One pair of pre-pregnancy jeans I may never fit again. The leather-bound notebook that contains every Whitford product roadmap I ever drew at 3 a.m. This is my real empire. Not his glass tower. Mine. The tiny white onesie with the gold crown. For you, little one. I’ll build you a world where no one ever takes your crown.

It was just that sight of Evangeline, standing by James, cheering him on—that really got under his skin. "What a shame. I was planning to win that necklace for you, but it looks like that's off the table now." James chimed in, patting Evangeline's head with a fond smile. When James' gaze landed on Walter, it turned icy, laced with sarcasm. "Mr. Walter Gordon, your willingness to drop a whopping one hundred thirty-five million dollars on our family's treasure, well, that's destiny for you. Who else in the world has the heart to throw around that amount to help those in need in the mountains?

“I think I’ve already surrounded myself with flatterers.” Magnus’s eyes softened, and for a moment, the stern patriarch gave way to the grandfather. “Then begin again. Wealth gives you that chance. To choose carefully, to set a standard for your life. And remember this: a fortune attracts wolves. Some wear expensive suits. Some bear charming smiles. They will tell you they love you, that they wish only to help. Test them. Always test them.” The room fell into silence, broken only by the clock’s ticking. Gabin's chest rose and fell, the enormity of it all pressing in. “Did you ever… feel unworthy of it?” he asked at last.

However, his expression soon turned bitter, and he said dejectedly, “Wolf King, I did bring several rings with me: sapphire, obsidian, diamond... I have them all. “However, I didn’t bring the Guardian of Love ring from my collection that’s worth 9.9 billion. Should I have it delivered now?” In his view, a lifesaving grace could not be measured by money. Since the Wolf King asked, Marlowe wanted to express his gratitude with his greatest sincerity and present his most expensive ring. That was the only way to convey his gratitude. Andrius said indifferently, “No need. Just take out the rings you have with you. I’ll pick one.” Andrius knew what Zenith was like.

That must be it! “And that’s a wrap!” Max announced as we approached them. “Wanna hit the streets, Strongkins?” He asked, flirtatiously winking in my direction. “Not tonight, Max. I’m kinda beat,” I said to him the very same excuse I’ve been giving him for the past three months. He’s probably the right kind of man for me to be with. Soft spoken, caring and present. Safe too, my subconscious added. But he didn’t have the effect that Dominic had on me. I guess at the end of the day, we all want what we can’t have.
