Before And After Goodbye Novels & Stories

Zoe quickly noticed the change in his mood and hurriedly sent over a live video from the wedding motorcade. "Mr. Cole, look. Iris has already gotten into the wedding car. Maybe she just didn't bring her phone with her?" Adrian looked at the video of me dressed in a pure white wedding gown with my head slightly lowered as I smiled. There was joy in my eyes that he had not seen in a long time. For no clear reason, he relaxed, the corners of his mouth lifting unconsciously. "Maybe." No matter what he had done before, after today, he would definitely make it up to Iris properly.

Goodbye. And never again.

] [I wish you and Sophia happiness. [This is goodbye. Let's never meet again.]

“Ben will see you out. Your termination letter and the few belongings you left here will be sent to your home.” “Goodbye, Laura.”

Goodbye, my former love! No, goodbye forever in this lifetime!

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.

No one is spared. I stared at the messages on my screen. For a long moment, I didn't reply. Just then, a breeze drifted past, and a fallen flower landed softly in my palm. I caught it gently and let out a quiet sigh. Other people's fates had nothing to do with me anymore. Ahead of me was a bright future that belonged entirely to me.
