Novel & Cerita Bad Tales

The memory flickers in my mind, sharp and unsettling, not because Connor didn’t deserve the threat, but because it seems the men circling my life now seem to speak the same language of violence and control. “Hannah, these people are dangerous. Of course, he was serious about it. And it might be wrong, but I’d pay to watch that happen. Bad people deserve nothing but bad things in return.” I giggle, shaking my head as a waving hand catches my eye. It’s Hailey. I smile and wave her back.

After that incident, Bexley City underwent earth-shaking changes. All four prominent families suffered heavy blows. Without their support, the Grant Corporation collapsed overnight, drowning in massive debt. They were blacklisted, hunted daily by creditors, until finally, the family vanished without a trace. As for Isla, after returning home, she lived in constant terror of retaliation. Unable to withstand the crushing pressure, she eventually leapt from a building and ended her life. My words had come true. Those who hurt me would always pay the price.

A small, traitorous flutter returned to my chest. “No,” I whispered fiercely to the darkness. “He is trouble. You have a plan. Stick to it.” Yet even as I tried to push the thoughts away, a quiet voice in the back of my mind whispered that Aiden Voss might not be as simple as the rumors said. And that terrified me more than anything. I turned onto my side, hugging my pillow tightly. Stay strong, Emily. Don’t fall. But deep down, I already feared the fall might have already begun.

It always makes me sick. Politics, Drugs dealer, Human trafficking- List all of it, I was forced to deal with it. Why? because once upon a time I was good at being a puppet for Luigi and now I regret ever coming across all these people. Him. As a child, my parents were always busy and rarely spent time with me due to their work, at night I always listen to them bickering about everything, sometimes even at dinner.

There are too many grey areas and most times, we are stuck in them. Sooo, be kinder with your judgment about my characters and the people around you. PS: This is not taking away from what Gracie said: Going through bad stuff doesn’t give you the right to be mean to others. Ben represents all the males that have been sexually assaulted and could never speak up. Gracie represents the females (all of us) with our insecurities. It’s okay to be a crybaby sometimes. Thank you for reading, for sticking with me through the chapters scarcity and inconsistencies and grammar errors. Without you, the readers, I wouldn't have been able to tell their stories.

Serena felt dirty, it turned her stomach to think she was almost raped by a drunk man, wanting to tell Alex that she was fine, she found herself the moment she opened her mouth, throwing up every contents in her belly, she felt weak and almost wanted to fall when Alex quickly held her.

I wiped the tears away from her cheeks. I guessed we both dwelt with losses that we forgot the beauty of life, of ourselves. “It’s not your fault that your brother died that day. At least he got his justice. The person responsible is already locked up. Don’t you ever listen to the people who like to bully? He did it because they wanted attention. They thought they were tough and looked cool when they hurt people. They are probably hurt or victims too, but that doesn’t give them the right to make fun of someone. That is just so wrong. They’re sick, Hailey. They wanted to ruin other’s lives, and they made you believe that they were better than you were. The truth is, you are far better than th

Samara whispered while covering her mouth. "What do you think?" Shawn said, annoyed. Samara observed Shawn's face. Not a single wound was scratched on his face. Then, Samara turned her attention to Shawn's three victims. "Now I'm dead," said Samara. "Dead?" Shawn asked in disbelief. "Over this scumbags?" "You don't understand. Sammy's over if they make a report, Brother. As soon as Sammy's boss finds out what you did to them, Sammy will be the one to get the consequent!"

Samara gives her the finger as she greedily hooks into her own chocolate thick shake. We spend most of lunch listening to Kiarra's funny stories. She met a few people that were staying in the same hotel and went out partying with them, which apparently was the wildest night of her life. She had us in a fit of laughter as she explained how she ended up naked in the back of a van with some guy named Billy, due to a card game gone wrong. I shake my head at her as I wipe my eyes. She isn't one to be that crazy, which makes it even funnier.

"Nobody is worthless just because that person is infertile. Can we measure the value of someone's feelings or pain? Can we measure the true value of a human? Can we measure the value of the crap that you utter, Sir? This lady is worth every star of the sky." "What did you say?" "Think about the words that you just said to this charming woman." Do Sejin stands up and walks to the woman's side who is looking at him with wonder. "Good things can happen to bad people. Bad things can happen to good people. Only terrible things happen to horrible people." A warning. "Today's youngsters don't know how to speak with their elders." Someone grumbles. Soon, other voices join that person. Everyone start
