And Then There Were Four Free Online Novels & Stories

Then I paid for the platform's highest level of promotion. People online moved fast, and it didn't take long for the video to reach them. This was no longer an era when the first person to post automatically won. I presented a complete chain of evidence, and public opinion turned quickly. "Some children repay their parents. Others come into the world for revenge." "Speaking up for this mother. She's been through enough." "Stop slandering your mom." I watched the comments, and my heart shook. I'd returned to life intending to outmaneuver them, but tears still kept pouring down my face.

The pain was so intense it felt as if my flesh was exploding. As my consciousness began to drift, I noticed the floating numbers in front of my eyes rapidly decreasing. [Countdown: 24 hours, 27 minutes, 43 seconds.] [Countdown: 20 hours, 13 minutes, 5 seconds.] [Countdown: 15 hours, 39 minutes, 17 seconds.] … Finally, someone pulled Vanessa back, and she stopped. The timer froze at “4 hours, 1 minute, 25 seconds.” Ethan slowly walked over, looking down at me from his towering height.

Everyone stood awed at them, gathering around the platform in front of the glass. “They look like ordinary people, but underneath that flesh they’re nothing but monsters. The legend of them reaching back to as far as then fourteen hundreds.” I felt my body heat and my fist ball up at my sides. “Hello? What’s going on?” Raven’s soft voice traveled through the glass and I heard gasps from Queen Fara. “They are no such thing! Those two children are humans. More so than you’ll ever be!”

Zane tells us this is only for the Alpha and Beta couples, so it would only be the four of us allowed on this floor. Zane tells me and Lex he'll add our thumb prints to the scanner later today so we won't need them every time we want to come or go from up here. The top floor is amazing. It's basically split in to two separate penthouses, Alphas to the left and Betas to the right, only one short hallway divides them. "This is amazing! Look at how close we get to be to each other!" Lex is overly excited and I couldn't feel guiltier. It would be amazing... if I planned on actually staying here.

“Please let this be real. Please don’t take them away from me.” A warm breeze stirred the air around me, carrying the scent of jasmine and something else, something wild and free and full of promise. It felt like an answer. When I opened my eyes, all four of them were standing at the kitchen window, watching me with identical expressions of love and longing and absolute certainty. Five more days. I could wait five more days.

and "Thank you, boss" The audience was all male! Yet, tonight's theme for the live stream was women's wellness recipes. Why were there so many men watching? Seth couldn't focus on work anymore. He rushed straight home. Then, he deliberately made his presence known on camera by walking past so everyone could see him. Maisie soon noticed that he kept blocking the screen. She frowned in annoyance and asked, "What are you doing?" Seth plopped down on the couch, still irritated. "I'm hungry. I want to eat."

A feeling you get inside that you are a part of this busy world and for people like it is a reminder to make my name known and engrave it as a good example for seven billion people to know. My phone vibrated in my pocket interrupting my thoughts. "Hello?" I answered, unfocused still watching as students walk to school ready to start another uneventful day, tired, not aware that they are at their best days, where they still can dream and be free in imagining their future, no matter how sad their life gets, they still have hope. It was never late for them to fix their mistakes, it's never late for anyone, however, they are still young and still trying to understand life. Didn't we all try to d

"Jason, your whole family is rotten! When Lily was assaulted back then, you traded away her justice for the investment in your company. Did you forget that?" Then, I pointed at a man in the crowd. "It was you! You assaulted Lily, then used money to buy Jason off. That's why you're still walking free!" Everyone immediately moved away from him while whispers surrounded all of us. "Jason built his fortune on her sister's suffering, then let his mistress kill her. That's almost demonic..." "I'm on Clara's side this time. I'll tell my dad to cancel every investment in their company." "Me too." Jason couldn't keep up appearances anymore as he shouted, "She's already dead! What else do you want?!"

There was something magnetic about him when he smiled like that. After a moment, I asked, “Adonis… how did you even manage to erase all those rumours about me online? The ones about me pretending to be Phoenix?” He hesitated, as if deciding how much to reveal. “It’s not that complicated,” he said finally. “Every system has loopholes. You just have to find the right entry point, rewrite the metadata, and redirect the search queries. Once the algorithm flags it as missing content, it vanishes.” I blinked. “That sounds like witchcraft.”

A smile spread across my lips as I walked up to them. “It's okay, please don't mind me, go about your normal duties,” I chirped. They seemed uneasy at first, but then they all felt somewhat relieved as they went about their activities. My eyes gazed across the room as I carefully inspected for cameras. There were four in total, one at the front, one at the back, one by the three huge freezers, and one at the center of the kitchen. It was no good; I knew it would be heavily guarded, but I really had no idea it would be to this extent.
