A Week Away 2 Novels & Stories

She even used his phone and asked Sam to come over. Charles tried to call Sam many times. It was better to explain what really happened than do nothing at all. But her phone was turned off. Later on, Charles learned from Jayson that Sam took a vacation leave for one week. He asked Jayson right away to look for her whereabouts. Meanwhile, Sam spends her vacation at a private beach resort. She fell so in love with this place the moment she saw it on the internet. Apart from its white sand, it is also famous for being one of the world's top destinations for relaxation.

“They left last night. I’d expect that they won’t return for at least a week.” In the end, it was closer to two weeks before they returned.

Cassian’s POV The door slam echoes in my apartment long after she’s gone. I lean against it, eyes closed, her words replaying like a bad dream. “Please. One week. I’ll do anything.” Her voice was raw, breaking on the edges. Her eyes were desperate, shining with tears she wouldn’t let fall. I’ve seen that look before. On my mother’s face the day she left. But Elodie Voss isn’t my mother. She’s just a neighbour. A baker. A woman with a bakery that's failing.

I said as I smiled at her then closed my door. We had a few days til Thanksgiving and she was already getting the stuff. It was a last minute thing since we're having a lot more people then usually. I sat at my desk, got onto computer to video call Joey. He went to his grandparents house for the week, since was a few states away. We were both hurt that he was leaving. And by the time difference, he was just a few hours away of me. "Good morning beautiful, your up awful early. Is everything okay?" He asked.

"Mom, it's called fashion! You just don't get it! Plus, Seth already knows I hit the sheets with Max, and look, the wedding's still on! The wedding was in full swing, and she still did not change her tune. "Seth didn't listen to me and change the scene into a garden. If I don't get three villas as compensation, I'm not walking down that aisle! It's not me who'll be the laughingstock here." I tuned out her ranting. After having security clear the area, I made my way to mingle with the guests. Jane had the nerve to try to turn the Fergusons into the joke of Celestial City. Well, she was about to become the punchline herself!

Mona suddenly suggested, "There's an abandoned train station warehouse next door. Why don't we lock her up in there and let her out when we return tomorrow?" This unsettled the rest of my classmates. "What if something happens to her? Celeste is a girl, after all. What if something dangerous happens to her late at night?" "Nothing's going to happen. That warehouse is really near the train station, and there's a police station next door as well. We'll lock her up there while we head to Northrind to negotiate. That way, no one will be disappointed, and we don't have to worry about anyone ratting us out. It's killing two birds with one stone."

That hesitation—barely a breath long—set her nerves on edge. “Restricting your access,” he said carefully. “To the borders. To certain rituals. To me.” The words landed like a slap. “To you?” “They’re invoking separation protocol,” he said grimly. “Claiming it’s temporary. That it’s to ‘stabilize the anomaly.’” The twin hissed. They want him away from you so I’ll surface, she snarled. So you’ll fracture. Selene felt silver heat flare under her skin. “They won’t,” she said flatly.

Every subtle movement the slight tremble of her fingers, the way her hair falls over her shoulders, the faint tension in her posture pulls at me in ways I’ve been fighting for weeks. “Ava,” I begin, low and deliberate. “I want you to come with me.” Her eyes widen, a mix of surprise and caution painting her features. “Where?” I step closer, closing the distance ever so slightly. “Away from here. Away from everything.” She blinks, confusion flickering across her face. “For… what?” “For a week.” Her breath catches. “A week?” “Yes. Seven days. Just you and me.” I see the storm of emotions play across her features shock, disbelief, fear, curiosity, and the tiniest spark of desire. That last one h

Her scream was still echoing when an immense force blasted the canyon entrance wide open. I whirled around, my heart in a vice. Rhett stood silhouetted against the crimson glow of the sunset, his face obscured. The ferocity rolling off him made the very air quiver. Arrayed behind him, a formidable line of elite wolf guards. The world seemed to hold its breath. "Rahhh!" A roar thundered through the valley, laden with a psychic shockwave. It was as if my skull had been hammered, agony exploding as blood seeped from every orifice.

I want more pancakes right now. Pancakes pancakes pancakes. That's all in my head. Well, not really. Ugh! I'm so weird. Was it because I was alone for almost a week? I felt so lonely. About this relationship, I didn't have any clue if it would work out or not. Ethan said he was sorry the day after my family came and I just said that I wish it would work out. He's totally a stranger to me. I still didn't know what to do when I'm near him.
