A Lifetime To Settle The Score Novels & Stories

He was very nervous, and watched the time passing away. An hour seemed as long as a century. He was considering exactly what kind of deal to choose. After all, such a large amount of money, he couldn’t let someone cheat, and finally lost it. "There are 20 minutes left. You’d better pray that they get the money ready as soon as possible! If not, I’ll choose to fight to the death with you." Bruce glared at Anna viciously, "If they dare to play tricks, you don't want to live either!"

I finally asked her the question, "Do you want to spend the rest of your life with me, princess?" Liya gasped. "The rest of my life? Inessa said there's a duration and that it would soon elapse… the contract I mean. Isn't that true?" Fuck. She looked so genuinely freaked out by the idea of us being together forever. I lost my position as a Mob Boss, and I was losing the girl, too. But what had I thought? That just because Liya lost some years of our memories, she would suddenly want a lifetime with me?

My mate does not ask questions and neither do the twins. After settling everyone down in the secret realm, I will return to settle scores. I might have been a step too late, but my serpentine friend has bought me enough time to salvage the situation. Without any weaknesses, I will unleash my wrath and seek retribution!

When he heard my story, he didn't offer pity, only admiration. He said, "You're brave. You deserve a better life." When the brilliant aurora danced across the night sky, he took my hand and whispered in my ear, "Myra, let me be your light." I looked into his sincere eyes and smiled, nodding. I took a photo and posted one final update to social media. "New year, new life." That photo was the last straw that finally broke Elias. He lay on the cold bed in the dialysis room, staring at the blinding happiness on his phone screen. His body and spirit both crumbled.

Fire burst through the old mausoleum, swallowing the black coats, the white flowers, the graveyard, and every apology that had come too late. “No—!” I screamed, but no one heard me. I did not want Luca to die. He was innocent. He was the only one who had understood me. The world went white. Then the Survival Program sounded in my mind. 【Isabella, congratulations.】 【Dante Bellandi’s family-bond score has reached 100%.】 【Julian Vale’s Love Score has reached 100%.】 【Adrian Moretti’s Love Score has reached 100%.】 【Luca’s Love Score has reached 100%.】

Tears brim his eyes and the last question comes out in a shaky breath. My tears stream down my face for the millionth time today. The round diamond sparkles spectacularly like the stars in the night sky. It's absolutely stunning. All the pain and suffering have led us to this moment. This moment in time where we can finally accept that nothing will stand in our way and nothing will ever tear us apart. We are it for each other forever. "Yes," I whisper. The End

The elevator declines rapidly, the trip only taking a few seconds. I know I could have just used my sense of smell, but it has been a long couple of days and I am tired, drained. The attack on the Thill family was efficient and effective, Serena and their unborn child would have been dead if Heinrich hadn't defended her with all he had. It still cost him enough in the end.

I closed my eyes, sensing the free fall of my body through the air, this time he couldn't stop me either. Just like the incident of eighteen years ago repeated again, except that the person who fell was no longer the person he loved, I did not hear his heart-breaking screams like before. I made a deal, accepted my fate and let go, the last bit of consciousness left before falling into a coma, I felt like someone was holding my body in my lap. Your heart rate is so real...

"I'm sorry, Caitlyn. I had misunderstood you. I couldn't marry you in this life, but if there's a next life, I'll marry you as soon as I can." She rolled up her sleeve, revealing a new tattoo. It was a photo of us from when we were together. Through her tears, she said, "It's okay. I’ll never forget you. In the next life, I'll wait for you to marry me." Now free of attachments, I felt lighter. Slowly, I began to lose control over my form, and I realized my time in this world had come to an end. For the first time, I felt true peace. It was as if I was showing the living that death was not the end of life, but rather, the beginning of a new journey.

"Yes, that has to be it." The others tried to stop him, but he was past the point of reason. He yanked Sophia off the hospital bed, ignoring the blood still gushing from her wounds. "Bring me a scalpel," he ordered. "I need her heart." A life for a life. The lab fell into eerie silence, broken only by Sophia's hoarse screams. The unbearable pain jolted her awake, and the first thing she saw was Leonard standing over her. "What are you doing?" She recoiled in horror at the gleaming scalpel in his hand, trembling as she tried to back away. "Leonard, this is murder!"
