Another Day Novel Novels & Stories

Jane I stepped out of my small apartment and into the cold morning air, a sense of monotony settling over me like a dark cloak. Another day, another routine to follow. A life devoid of excitement or adventure, where each day bled into the next in an unending cycle of sameness. This was my reality, a quiet existence in the bustling town of Brookside, where nothing ever seemed to happen.

On our wedding night, my new wife casually proposed an open marriage. "I'm pregnant. From now on, I'll spend Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays with Finley, and Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays at home." I forced myself to steady my trembling body and looked up at her. "When did this start?" "When you introduced us. We fell in love at first sight." A faint smile played at the corners of her lips. "The moment I met him, I finally understood what real passion felt like. With you, it was just familiarity after all these years. "By then, the news of our families' marriage alliance had already gone public. I figured I'd just settle for you and make the best of it. Then I found out I was pre

Chapter 18: A Day of Light The sun hung low in the sky, casting a golden hue across the landscape outside the castle. It was the first truly peaceful morning Karina had experienced in what felt like a lifetime. The weight of the past few weeks—the secrets, the betrayals, the fears—seemed to melt away in the warmth of the early sunlight. It was as if the world outside had decided to pause and give them a moment to breathe.

When I got home, I tried to focus on other things so I wouldn't think about Brix, but no matter what I did, I found myself spacing out and thinking about my failed relationship. At this point, we've been dating for over a year. We were set to celebrate our first anniversary as a couple in June, but he dumped me just weeks before it was meant to happen. "God! HELP! I don't know what I should do." I cried in a loud voice. "Shut your pie hole!" Someone yelled from the first floor of our house. Oh, that is my mom, by the way. By the way, my name is Ayesha Santillan, but my friends and colleagues call me Yesha.

"It's okay to fear what you don't know, but why not celebrate what you do?" I wondered, before poking his other shoulder, drawing familiar red eyes up to me. The other two walked up to join us, a quiet settling over the area. These three men who were perfect strangers felt like dearest friends. It confused me, but the black-haired one kept reading his book with a calm smile on his face, the red-haired one followed me over to the fountain to play with the water, and the brown-haired one watched from the bench. "She CAN tame the three. Now we just need a link to her world in the future. Let's do what we can."

It was dark and still when Lucas woke in his bedroom. The covers were like warm clouds, and he was engulfed. He didn’t want to get out of bed, but knew that he had quite the day ahead of him. After a few minutes of debating with himself, Lucas rose from his bed with the covers still wrapped around him and walked over to the window. This was a moment he wanted to soak in. He absorbed the chill radiating from the hard floor, and allowed the warmth of the covers to spread through his body. The sun was starting to peak up from the horizon, and the smell of coffee was looming from the automatic coffee maker in the kitchen. Lucas particularly enjoys sun rises more than sun sets, he believes the be

The book had done very well. I had walked out of the dark of all of it. Eventually, I moved to a city by the sea. There was no Mason there. There was just my future, and it was bright.

That was the end of what I knew. I was packing the stuff I needed for Harland, slowly but surely crossing out the list I'd written ages ago. Sometimes. I would find myself in a state of disbelief. After all, I had imagined us three huddled on the couch, munching on watermelons just two months ago. Now, I was the only member of the trio who'd be pursuing a brighter future. Fate truly had a funny way of teaching life lessons. I was in the middle of being philosophical when my downstairs neighbor, Georgie, knocked on my door.

There was no escape, no reprieve. But this time, I didn't crumble. In my past life, Yvonne and Cody's accusations and fabricated stories had left me devastated, hopeless, and drowning in public condemnation. With nowhere to turn, I had borne the weight of every hateful word and attack. This time, I was waiting for my chance to confront them and expose the truth. After 48 hours, I was released from the police station and took a cab back to my apartment complex. The place was crawling with reporters, cameras, and curious onlookers. Some had even been camped out, waiting for me. As soon as I arrived, their phones and cameras turned toward me in unison.
