"Almost a hundred thousand dollars," Mia's father said without hesitation, his voice full of greed.
"That's how much she is ready to give me as long as I hand Mia over to her."
Aurora's expression did not change. She nodded slowly, as if she had already expected it.
Then she looked straight into his eyes and said in a steady voice,
"I am ready to give you two hundred thousand dollars. But there is one condition. You must sign an agreement saying you will never trouble Mia again. You will cut all ties with her and will not even go near her, no matter how poor you become. If you ever go against the agreement, you will face jail time."
Mia's father stared at her in shock. For a moment, he looked as if he could not believe his ears.
"Are you serious? You will really give me two hundred thousand for Mia?" he asked.
He wasn't concerned about the prison time at all.
Aurora gave a single, firm nod.
