"…all this and more can be yours. It’s just a matter of how much you’re willing to pay."
I looked into the eyes of the man sitting across from me.
He was dressed in a tailored suit and sipping a martini in a high-rise office overlooking modernday New York City.
He appeared harmless enough, but I knew better.
I knew what he was really about.
And still, I couldn’t help being tempted by his offer.
"I want it," I said finally.
"It’s done then. You’ll have everything you desire by the time you turn 24. And when you do…"
He smiled at me, his eyes twinkling with amusement.
"Well, we’ll settle our account then."
I didn’t say anything else.
I just stood up and walked out of the office, leaving him to his own devices.
I had everything I wanted right now.
In two years, I’d be dead.
I stepped out into the bustling streets of New York, feeling the weight of my decision.
The city was mine to conquer.
And I wasted no time in doing so.
I bought a penthouse overlooking Central Park and filled it with art and luxury cars.
I threw lavish parties and invited everyone who was anyone in the city, including Michael Reed, who eyed me with thinly veiled contempt.
Sam attended too, her presence a comforting anchor in the midst of all the chaos.
Lucas watched from the sidelines, his eyes dark and inscrutable as he sipped his drink.
The next morning, I found myself in the penthouse’s sunlit kitchen, nursing a strong cup of coffee.
Sam sat across from me, her eyes shining with excitement as she unfolded a map of the Amazon rainforest.
"We need a break from all this," she said, tracing a path through the dense green expanse.
"And what better way to get away than this?"
I raised an eyebrow at her suggestion, but Sam’s enthusiasm was infectious.
And as she outlined the logistics of our trip, I found myself getting more and more on board.
Lucas walked into the kitchen, his eyes flicking between us as he poured himself a cup of coffee.
He raised an eyebrow at our plans, but he didn’t say anything else.
Sam continued to talk animatedly about our trip, detailing everything from the plane ride to the jungle treks we’d take once we arrived.
As I listened, I realized that this journey might be my last chance to truly live before the clock ran out.
Sam’s fingers flew across her laptop keyboard, booking our flights and accommodations in the Amazon.
I watched her with a mix of apprehension and excitement.
Lucas leaned against the kitchen counter, his eyes fixed on me with an unreadable expression.
"You’re sure about this?" he asked, his voice low and probing.
I nodded, trying to mask my uncertainty with a confident smile.
"It’s now or never," I said, echoing Sam’s words from earlier.
She looked up at me, her grin stretching from ear to ear.
"It’s settled then," she said, clicking the final confirmation on her laptop.
I felt a strange sense of dread wash over me, but it was too late to turn back now.
The trip was booked.
