Romans & histoires Best Partner

The draw lots have already started but I haven't been able to pick yet. "Vienna, you're next," said sister Sheene. I pulled out a paper inside the box and opened it. I was lucky because I picked my favorite number. "Is everything okay? If so, you can find your partner," said brother Dim. Isabel and Xianna, both picked different numbers and not the same as mine. "Vienna, what number did you draw?" Patrick asked. "Number 8, why?" I replied. "Sebastian is your partner, he also drew number 8."

Nat continued. “I will not say that he is the best and perfect person, because nobody is perfect in this world. But you have my guarantee that he will be the best boyfriend and would be the best life partner for you, in the coming future. So Miss Sophie Kapoor, will you take the honours of becoming the girlfriend of my baby brother? Are you ready to take him as your boyfriend?” Nat said.

She also mentioned something about relieving carnalities. Since I was bored, I looked up the APP on the internet. The mission they put about them, caught my interest, “Making love would comfort people. However, some single people don’t want to find friends with benefits so they don’t get infected with infection or inflammation. Our APP helps to find you a partner to have a one-to-one live chat.”

If your partner lost money, you still had to count it in the overall profit ratio, so choosing the right partner really was the key of all keys. Zechariah didn't get why his niece just picked a partner so casually, unlike that Master Milton across from them, who obviously had a pattern...

My bestie said, “Why do you think so negatively, Ann? The mate-bond is a partnership, a lifelong companionship where two partners work together to make a warm home. Trust me, you both will understand each other’s shortcomings and grow up …” Rolling my eyes at her emotional speech, I expressed my annoyance straight up. “Look, Daleyza! These dreamy relationships are for the one who have a lot to offer. And me, I don’t even have one quality to balance the other party’s excellence. Once I turned myself into a socially acceptable person, trying my level best to keep a man. But what happened? He replaced me in a heartbeat!” I wouldn’t be enough for anyone!

"Thank you. For letting me do this." "I am not letting you do anything." He turned to face me. "You made a choice, and I am respecting it. That is what partners do." "Partners." I smiled despite the tension. "I like that word." "Better than mate?" He pulled me close. "Different from mate." I rested my head against his chest. "Mate is fate. Partner is choice. Both matter, but choice feels more powerful right now." "Then choose to come back alive," he murmured against my hair. "Because losing you would break me in ways I could not recover from."

He had seen the board no one else could see, and had moved the pieces with a chilling, beautiful certainty. This was the partner Anton had unconsciously been searching for his entire life. Not a subordinate, not a sycophant, not even just a lover. An equal. A force of nature in his own right, who chose to stand beside him, not behind him. The revelation was dizzying. For a man who had always been the singular point of control, the apex, to find another apex willing to merge their territories… it was the most profound vulnerability and the most powerful strength, all at once.

“That would explain why they don’t recognize him.” Matthew let out a long breath. If that was the case, finding him would take forever. One restaurant alone had dozens of partner companies multiply that by five, and the search would stretch endlessly. His gaze remained locked on the frozen image on the iPad. That man. The longer Matthew stared, the more something twisted inside his chest. Something was wrong with him. Since that day, he hadn’t been able to forget that smile. “Dad....” Matthew spoke quietly, almost without realizing it. “Is there any way to find him faster?”

The way she effortlessly blended into our group, forming bonds and sharing laughter, only deepened my admiration for her. In that moment, I realized how lucky I was to have found someone like Brianna. She was not only my partner, but also my best friend. Her unwavering support, her genuine laughter, and her compassionate nature were a constant source of inspiration for me. With her by my side, I felt invincible, ready to face any challenge that life threw our way.

I totally did not care who will be assigned as my partners, I was just praying that it was not that cruel-annoying guy. "Why?" He faced me and asked half a laugh. "I don't wanna have a partner like a monster. You know what I mean?" I looked at the guy next to me. "Drake and Yzack. And the last pair is Horizon and Thorn-" "What the-?" "Are you serious?" We said in chorus. She closed the attendance book. It was not intentional that my voice is as loud as that. I closed my eyes for a moment, it was a disaster for sure.
