Against The Odds 소설 & 이야기

"A real plan. Don’t you go out there alone, become a martyr. A plan where we all survive." "That might not be possible." He said honestly. "The odds are very bad." “The odds have always been against you.” I reminded him. "We survived anyway. We can do it again." Vincent cleared his throat. "I might have an option. But you aren’t gonna like it.” "Tell us." Kade said.

"But I wouldn't change any of it. Not the chaos, not the noise, not the constant interruptions. This is the life we built, and I love it." "Even when Sofia slams doors and Isabella tracks mud through the house and Lucas draws on the walls?" "Even then. Especially then. Because it means we have them. We have this family. We made it, Maya. Against all the odds, we made it." Maya thought back to that scared nineteen-year-old girl, staring at a positive pregnancy test, terrified of the future. She thought about all the people who'd doubted them, who'd thought they were too young, too unprepared, too likely to fail.

To save money, I gritted my teeth and moved everything on my own. In the end, I was so exhausted that my back flared up, and I had to stay in bed for two days. But when Gem moved, Simon specifically took a day off and said, "Moving is exhausting. Your best friend is a lone woman moving everything on her own. We should give her a hand." I watched him running around, sweat soaking his hair. Suddenly, he felt like a stranger. So… It wasn't that he did not know how to help with a move. He just couldn't bear to take a single day off for me.

Soon the game was wound up and noticing the pile of chips in front of her friend, Grace decided that it was enough gambling for the night and rushed to Faith to convince her to leave. Faith had been going wild for the last two weeks since she had served the divorce papers. Drinking, dancing, gambling... It was like she was trying to get something back that she had lost. Though Grace did not hold much hope that Faith would agree, she still tried her best to make her leave. Thankfully, Faith relented under the promise that they would go to a Karaoke bar from there. Grace would have agreed to give away her firstborn as long as it meant getting away from Adi.

Martha said and went back to her work post. Martha is my best friend. We became friends three years ago when I started working at Mrs. Smith's boutique. She helped me a lot when I was newly employed, such as how to stay calm when I attended to snorty customers because I was very short-tempered. She has mud-brown hair, sky-blue eyes, and plump lips. Her face was dotted with freckles which only added to her unique beauty. She was of average height and very curvy in the right places. I've always envied her beauty. Martha is a man-lover; she fawns over any handsome man she sees. She has had a few heartbreaks in the past, but that doesn't seem to bother her. Nevertheless, I still love her.

He’s lost ground without losing face. Which means the next move won’t be force. It’ll be temptation. An offer that divides instead of attacks. Because if you can’t break a system… You convince part of it to walk away. And that test is coming. Soon.

"I love Natasha so much, and I know you love her too. But u can't save someone whose problem are bigger than yours. Michael's eyes snapped up, a protest on his lips. "But_" Tracy cut him off, her hand on his shoulder. "Listen, Mike. We aren't from the same world. The LEEs are .... they play by different rules. You'll get hurt. You're an artist, Michael. You have dreams, and ur family depends on u. Don't let someone else's drama ruin them". Michael's jaw set, his eyes flashing with defiance. "I can handle it, mom. I care about her a lot".

Only them against the all odds. ....................... ........... ..... THE END

I can only hope and pray that once you read this letter, you will not hate me for the decisions I have made and will continue to make until I no longer draw breath. The deal I made with Daniel was right after I found out I was pregnant with you. Our marriage was not entered into because we were in love. His family arranged for me to marry Daniel. There was a trust at stake. His family was one of the founding families of Chance, so their wealth was limitless. I was just a girl from Clinton that lived in a trailer park. Daniel’s father wanted him to marry but there was no one in Chance that would give him the time of day. He was not a very nice person, which you will
