Bid You Adieu Novels & Stories

Chapter 29: Tailoring for Battle "A charity auction," Adrian said, tossing the heavy, cream-colored envelope onto the weathered oak table. The thick parchment mocked him with its embossed silver lettering, a gilded death warrant disguised as philanthropy. "Hosted by the Bellweather family. If that isn't a trap wrapped in black-tie elegance, I don't know what is."

"I also don't know about that but yeah, I'm sure I didn't feel that pain which I was supposed to feel after the rejection but anyway... I'm grateful that we didn't lose our mate. I am happy that our little mate is with us, and not some red-haired twig." "Adieu! You better not start again." "Yeah, whatsoever. Now, you shut up and let me admire my mate." Adieu kind of pushed Adolf and he found himself hugging the sleeping Maryn. As he sniffed her, he felt weirdly overwhelming and it was calming him more and more, 'I don't want to. It's... ' Cutting him off, Adieu cried out, "Yumm, our mate smells so good. She is... " When Adieu was talking, Adolf rolled his eyes and kept looking at her. But st

That night, when his youthful lips brushed against hers, the sky was filled with countless stars. But now, that same Jack had slapped her across the face—without hesitation—for Abby. Jessica wiped away the tears she hadn't even realized had fallen. She found a small storage box and placed inside it everything Jack had ever given her. It was time to put an end to this. As for the wedding, she'd find a chance to call it off. She barely slept that night, and the next morning, she was up early. After washing up, she checked the selling site. Someone had already placed a bid. The buyer insisted on an in-person transaction to inspect the goods.

he whispered, his voice trembling with emotion. Mariah, her heart breaking but her love unwavering, replied, "I love you too, Adam, always. Promise me you'll come back to me once everything's over." "I promise," Adam replied knowing very well that they might not be able to see each other again, that he won't be alive to see his love's face again, to see Mariah again. It was a goodbye that echoed with the weight of their love, a moment they would carry with them as they embarked on separate paths. With one last lingering look, Mariah turned and followed Pete out the door, leaving Adam standing on the staircase, his heart heavy but his resolve unbroken.

My hands instantly turned cold. There’s no way he could mean the same Lawrence I know… right? There are a lot of Lawrences in the Philippines! It’s impossible that it’s that Lawrence! “He’s here?!” Aecil asked excitedly. “Yup! He just texted me,” Adam replied. Aecil immediately stood up. Adam turned to us. “I’ll just go see him.” Sheena nodded, “Okay. Come back before the performance, okay?” “Yeah,” Adam replied, kissing Sheena on the temple before leaving. We just watched them walk away until Sheena turned her attention to me.

I won't stay with a man who I cannot trust to trust me. Maybe this is goodbye... Maybe I am talking to you for the last time, Adrea

I didn’t want her thinking her sickness made me sell myself. But I also didn’t want her to die because I was stubborn. My phone buzzed. A new message from Jared. Sir Adrian approved your sister’s admission. Deposit will be covered. Please confirm you will meet at 8:00 PM tomorrow to finalize terms. If you decline, we will reverse the arrangement. Reverse. Like Eli’s bed was a reservation. Like hope was refundable. My eyes burned. I stared at the last line until my chest hurt.

All rigid muscles and demanding stance that would keep me upright if someone tackled me. "I'm Nessa's mate. I can't tell you much about Adelia but I can tell you all about Nessa and how much I miss her and would do anything to get back to Lover's Quarrel to her. She's a Beta now, did you know that?" He rambled and his lips formed an O. "Of course, you knew that. You were there when it happened. Also there when she drained Adelia's bank accounts to furbish her new home. I can't wait to see the new house. Someplace the two of us can-"

I spat, my voice trembling but determined. “I’m not going to shoot Kade.” “Fucking bitch…” Adrain hissed, venom dripping from every tone of his voice. “….you think you can defy me?!” I stood my ground, my heart pounding recklessly in my chest. “I won’t do it. If you want to kill me, you just better do it. But I will never pull the trigger on him.” Adrian’s bitter laughter tore through the room, a dark melody that made my skin crawl. “Oh, darling,” he sneered. “Don’t tell me you’ve fallen in love with a monster like Kade? You’re pathetic.”

Adrian’s gaze lingered on me for a long moment, then he reached out, brushing a strand of hair from my cheek. “I still want to do it, I hate to leave now but I will be back, Goodbye Elysia.” He kisses my forehead. “Goodbye, Adrian.” I said, sadly. And then, just like that, he turned and he was gone.
