Chapter 12 500 Million Dollars

• Amanda’s POV
• I sat there confused, but the beautiful lady, Vanessa, encouraged me with a warm smile. "Go ahead and eat," she said kindly. I looked over at Viktor for approval, and he nodded slightly. Relieved, I began eating, grateful for something to focus on besides the tension at the table.
• Viktor broke the silence. "I lost 500 million. I need to go out there and find a way to get it back by hook or by crook," he declared, his voice filled with determination. The other man at the table, whom Viktor called Elijah, nodded in agreement while muttering a curse under his breath. They discussed the massive amount of money as if it was nothing.
