Chapter 80 An Offer Of Danger

• "What do you want to offer?" I ask, my voice constant even when a storm fights inside my being. I lock my gaze on Mr. Hartman, one of the most influential persons I have ever met in my life. The way he was attired-sharp suit, slicked-back hair, and his smug grin-just proved the fact that this proposition wasn't as simple as it seemed.
• "Anything, Jasmine," he says, his voice dripping with an assurance that makes me want to shiver. "Money, power, control. You'll have everything you've ever wanted—if you're willing to play it my way."
• My heart does a little skipping jack at the words. Anything? That's the kind of offer that could change my life-my future. But one glance in the glint of his eyes told me there was something. There always is. Nobody gave away power free.
