Novel & Cerita A Summer Without You

For ten years, I stood beside Adrian Shaw while he clawed his way up from nothing to a nine-figure fortune. In all that time, he never once took me anywhere that cost more than twenty dollars a head. On the eve of our tenth anniversary, I sent him a link to the steakhouse I'd been saving for years. His expression darkened. "Just because we have money now doesn't mean we can forget how hard life can get. Thrift is a virtue, Nora. Don't lose it." I thought he had a point, so I nodded and agreed to cancel the reservation. Then, on the day I went to the restaurant to cancel it, I saw Adrian across the dining room, having dinner with a girl. He cut her steak for her, then reached over and ge

Narrowing her eyes, Summer jabbed the phone toward her. “If you don’t, I will.” Rowena’s heart seemed to seize in her chest. Pulling her gaze away, she decided to ignore the pointed gesture. Summer shrugged and started dialing. Snatching the phone from her, mid-punch, she stabbed the off button and hid it behind her back. With a smirk Summer said, “Suit yourself! I’ll use my cell phone,” Summer said with a smirk. She growled under her breath. Arguing with Summer made her almost as frustrated as fighting with her big brothers always had. A tiny part of her missed those moments with her family, when she could be herself, when her older brothers had acted like annoying, interfering older brothe

Because of the basement, we decided to quit attending camp every summer. As the sun set, the story finally ended, and everyone decided to go home. These two fools keep pleading with Deacon to send me home. Just the sounds of the air flowing out of the air conditioner could be heard around us. This is awkward. What can I do to break the silence? Should I simply ask him a few questions? "I..." "I'm just curious. Why aren't you with the prince?" he queried. Deacon is the one to break the silence. "I'm no longer working with him as of yesterday," I replied.

Summer murmured, "I just… I just wanted to see Nathan so bad." Summer finally had some freedom after long years of torture. She had finally escaped the psychiatric hospital that trapped her, and she wanted to talk to Nathan so badly. She had never had the chance to pay her respects at Nathan's grave, not even once. Although she went to Nathan's funeral, Nathan's family had kicked her out and would not let her near them at all. "You might want to be more careful. After all, you're still not safe yet," Serenity said. "I know. Thank you." Summer was grateful, knowing Serenity genuinely cared for her.

To force the golden bachelor of Morrisey City's high society into marrying me, I once staked my very life as the price. I rammed my car into the one carrying him and his first love as they tried to elope, and I forced her to give up Wade Grant to me. He drove a shard of broken glass through my palm and swore he'd make me wish I were dead once I became his wife. On our wedding night, Wade hung me from the balcony railing with his necktie and forced me to kneel before his first love—the same woman who'd once tried to jump from a rooftop—and beg her forgiveness. I pulled the pin from my hair and drove it through his shoulder, laughing that he was a worthless man who couldn't even protect th

It was crazy, I knew, but I couldn’t get him out of my head. Summer and I danced together, laughing as she threw in some exaggerated moves to coax a smile out of me. “See?” she said, spinning around me. “You don’t need anyone to make you happy tonight. I’ve got you covered!” She winked, and I laughed for real this time, a warmth spreading through my chest. Maybe she was right. Maybe I could leave it all behind for one night—Madison, Caleb, Abby, the chaos of my life. Just for a moment.

I tried to lighten the mood, wiping away her tears, though my own eyes were prickling. "It's all your fault for leaving without a word!" Summer pouted, her eyes still filled with unshed tears, blaming me. "Alright, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have left without saying anything. I made you worry." "Of course, it's your fault. You won't leave again, right? If you dare disappear without a word again, I'll never talk to you again!" Summer's eyes began to clear up a bit, given my earnest admission of guilt.

I listened as she told me all about their argument and drank a bottle of wine. After half an hour, I had enough. “Ok, let's go” I pulled her from the couch and pushed her out the back door and into her house, where I found Nathan sitting in an armchair whilst Noah was on the sofa, both with a beer in their hands. I pushed Summer down on the couch next to Noah. “Noah, you were out of order asking if she was trying to keep her options open. You know that's not the case. You two are going to spend the rest of your life together, so if she needed a few days before marking each other, you should have been supportive. She's scared about moving packs. Her dad died before she was born, then her mum

She had to take precautions before it happened, and be prepared for everything. “Glad to know.” As if thinking of something, Summer looked at Daisy. “Mom, I am thinking of moving to Nokocola Bay. I heard it is a beautiful city.” Knowing that she was still sad, Daisy did not stop her, but sighed softly. “Relax yourself there. Tell me and your dad if you need money.” “Okay…” She gave a smile. The next day, Summer brought her luggage,and hopped on a high-speed train to go to Nokocola Bay alone. She did not want anyone to see her off. She disliked such a farewell scene.

"But I haven't said goodbye to anyone, Mommy. I also haven't told others that I didn't break my promise. I can still make it happen another day when we visit them again. If I went away without saying it, everyone would think that I had broken my promise!" Summer was so upset that she stomped her foot. Worried that her daughter would have a fever again, Sky rubbed her chest. "Honey, please don't be angry. I don't want you to get sick again." "My heart is already sick, Mommy," Summer said while putting her fist on her chest. "I still want to see Uncle Louis and the others, but I can't. We are far apart from them." "We can still see them, Honey. We can make video calls."
