Before And After Goodbye Novels & Stories

I smiled back, thankful, and then I walked away. I did not look back or hold on. I was like a quiet breeze, gone from this world.

The time machine really did take me back to the past, but unfortunately, not to before I met Raven Fuentes. Instead, I found myself three days before our marking ceremony, when I was trying on wedding dresses at the bridal shop. When I opened my eyes, I saw Raven standing right before me, alive and breathing. I stared at him wide-eyed, feeling incredibly relieved that he wasn't dead yet. I thought there was still a chance to change things since he was still alive, and I didn't mind the tension between us at all.

“After this, no more delays. Tonight. Private ceremony. Just us. Then I’m knotting you until you can’t walk.” Tears slipped down my cheeks—happy, relieved, free. “Yes. A thousand goodbyes to everything before. Hello to you.” He kissed them away. “A thousand goodbyes.” We stayed locked on the table, hearts hammering in sync, while the city hummed outside and the bond sang its final, unbreakable note. I was Alisa Moretti. I was Kael Draven’s mate. And I had never been more free.

So I stopped arguing, picked up the pen, and signed my name. We'll settle this debt later, I told myself. When they saw my signature, the satisfaction in Wade and Ella's eyes was almost overflowing. Wade even smirked and said, "Want me to transfer you a hundred bucks for cab fare?" I let out an icy laugh. "Keep it. You might need it for your own funeral someday." Ella's face twisted with anger, and she almost snapped again, but Wade quickly pulled her back inside. Before the door fully closed, I heard her muttering under her breath, "Finally got rid of those two burdens."

I sighed. “Yeah. We had goodbye sex, and that was it. Trevor and Sebastian always knew it was casual and temporary.” she sighed. “That just leaves you.” she sighed. “Me?” I furrowed my brow. “To say farewell to.” she softly answered. This girl isn’t the soft-spoken sort. I frowned. Maybe she doesn’t like the idea of saying goodbye anymore than I do.

"Aria, maybe—" Before he could finish, I reached for the glass and took a deep sip. The wine was rich and bitter, the flavor too strong, the aftertaste lingering in the back of my throat. "See? That's more like it!" Gabriella beamed and clinked her glass against mine. "So glad we're friends again!" I smiled faintly. "Sure." Caleb sighed, relieved. "Let's just keep things peaceful from now on," he said, flicking his sister lightly on the forehead. "No more drama."

Now that the contract has expired, the time has come to let you be happy with the woman you love. I ask for your forgiveness for having been a hindrance in your life; the time has come to leave, and I will quietly step out of your life because I couldn’t bring myself to say goodbye. I never wanted anything but your love, so I waive any compensation. Take care of yourself; from the bottom of my heart, I wish you much happiness. God bless you, Goodbye, Elizabeth

Pillows. Everything I'd left behind, getting yeeted like trash. A whole vibe: 'Thanks for playing, don't come back.' Then came the grand finale—our wedding photo. There I was, standing all stiff next to Calvin, smiling like I didn't know better. That girl? Total stranger now. The frame hit the ground and shattered—glass everywhere. I took a breath, stepped right over the mess, and kept walking. Last night's rain had passed. So had mine. ***

What mattered to me was that he gave everything I wanted to Michelle. Maybe before that night, I would have been moved by his gesture, but now, looking at Ryan, all I could think of were those words: “Late affection is as meaningless as a fleeting trend. If you don't act when it counts, it loses its relevance later on.” … I looked at him, offering a cold smile. “Mr. Patel, that’s all in the past now.” When old flames meet, I couldn’t pretend to be friends after a breakup, nor could I bury the past.
