1000 Story Novels & Stories

The last page had only two lines. "June 25th. This is the 100th time Dexter has ditched me to go help my best friend in the lab." "What a coincidence. The diary's full. Exactly 100 pages." Dexter's chest ached in waves, and at some point, the tears started falling onto the pages. He remembered that day. Brianna had hit a wall with her research and was panicking. He didn't think twice before dropping me on the side of the road and driving to the institute alone.

I looked around, to see if there was someone close to me that he was pointing too but there was no one except me. “Me???” “Yeah. You were the only one chosen to learn Doxante magic and you will be the only one trained.” I scoffed. “Nah, that can't be possible. On the website, I saw about four hundred entries, real people with real faces and background.” “That is what we tell the public so they won't figure out who the real Doxante is. We usually take only ONE Doxante each year, based on your past experiences and your portfolio and you ticked all the boxes.”

I CAN’T EVEN DO A FULL LAP! I can see that he enjoys the anguish shown in my face as he smirked at me. That smirk quickly turned into that of irritation when he saw that I didn’t move. Other than the incoming dread of running 100 laps, I don’t know where to run! I don’t want to run on the wrong path and be accidentally killed by the people who train with weapons. “500 laps.” Just like that, my world completely fell apart as my soul left my body. The light was quick to vanish, and I could only whine inside.

Wanting to stay by his side, she never once considered leaving. That was all until today. Evelyn didn't want to stay anymore. So, she wiped her tears, took out her phone, and dialed a number. "Mrs. Gallagher, I'll take the five million dollars. I'll leave Matteo forever."

she said quietly, “this place destroyed them.” Sophia blinked. “That doesn’t make sense.” “They were nobodies back then.” Sophia frowned. “What happened?” Marissa leaned against the brick wall. “There was a competition that night,” she said. “A startup event. Tech investors, entrepreneurs, big money.” Sophia listened carefully. “Luke, Duke, Kyle, and Dru had just built their first version of the app that made them billionaires.” Sophia’s eyes widened slightly. “They came here to celebrate?” Marissa shook her head.

“I didn’t know you had a milk intolerance. I thought you were just lying to get at Anna again.” I simply met his gaze without a word. His mind flew back to the car crash a year ago. Back then, I was trapped in the wrecked car. Covered in blood, I mustered the last of my strength to mind-link August for help. As pain devoured my consciousness, August’s emotionless voice cut through. “Enough with the lies, Sophina. It’s Anna’s birthday today. I need to pick out a gift for her. Leave me alone.” I laughed bitterly to myself.

The house was quiet, but it was a different kind of quiet now—a silence that felt less like an ending and more like a beginning. Evelyn made another stroke, then another. She didn't know if she would make it to Day 100, but for the first time in weeks, she wasn't counting the days. She was just watching the lines take shape.

The only difference that set us apart was the fact that I pursued him for five long years. I was just about to leave when I received a text message from Julian. "I'll be waiting for your 100th proposal tomorrow." I smiled faintly before blocking his number and deleting every last trace of him from my contacts. After bidding all my colleagues goodbye, I left the company with my suitcase in hand and headed straight for the airport. ... The next day, Julian kept his word and appeared at city hall in a sleek suit.

A pair of arms wrapped around me, and I instantly settled into the familiar embrace as both of us watched the sun set over our kingdom. I couldn’t help the squeal of delight that escaped my mouth. I had finally completed my book, 1001 Dark Tales. The look on my editor’s face was one of disbelief when I announced I was stopping all other books to focus solely on that one. I guess writing 1001 Dark Tales takes a long time, four years to be exact. Still, I had written enough books with the help of my quill that I had more than a steady income.
