Book Beat Novels & Stories

It’s been two days and Cameron still could not talk to Marissa. At first, he thought he would try to have a chat with her after her class, but that couldn’t happen as Olivia hadn’t asked Cameron to pick Brook up yet. She made it clear that for now, it would be better if he did not go to the dance institute to pick Book. He did not blame Olivia for that but at the very least she was talking to him, unlike his younger sister.

And. Mr. Babe? Should I puke right now? She's just an HR Manager and not Neal's special someone. So, why call him Babe? Eww. This is probably what ate Buba meant. Biatrice. Biatch-rice. It fits her. I really thought she was good and that what ate Buba said were all just rumors but I was wrong. She's an enemy.

Anita Pov. Alex and I will leave Cebu in thirty minutes and leave my heart. I want to bring my heart with me, but I can't. I love him so much that I could feel my heart, piercing pain leaving him. I wish you all the best and I will pray that all your heart's desire will be granted by God. I love you so much Aleajandro. I can't hold on as my tears fall freely. Goodbye, my love! I cried silently covering my mouth with my palm not to distract anyone but I know Becca is aware that's why she was distracting my son.

Don’t tell me he’s going to end up dead in a dark alley like in the original book. [Come on, supporting character! Don’t give up. You still have a bright future!] The pain in my body grew numb. Being beaten was something I had grown used to. Ever since I was little, whenever my mom had a bad day, she would hit me without warning. Sometimes, both my parents would beat me for fun. My body was covered in scars, but now I felt no pain. I was waiting for the right moment, after all. A moment to completely turn the tables.

Every time he heard Kai turn a page, he felt a phantom pressure on his waist, a reminder of the heat he was now pretending didn't exist. He was winning the bet. But as he watched Kai stare blankly at a page of Constitutional Law, his expression unreadable and distant, Adrian realized he was losing the only thing that had made his heart beat in years.

I responded with a polite smile, choosing to ignore her. Damon, however, seemed utterly captivated. His eyes sparkled with admiration as he turned to me and said, "Kate, you should take a page from Bonnie's book. Women are meant to love beauty." A hollow laugh echoed in my mind. People are often fixated on what they lack. Unlike Bonnie, I didn't need cosmetics to prove anything. My natural beauty overshadowed hers effortlessly. Finally, she deigned to hoist her bag and continue up the trail. I quickened my pace, suppressing a smirk. The sooner I led them to their demise, the better.

She pulled out her suitcase. “What? Do you mean that stupid gravy boat? Go ahead. Carolyn won’t miss it. No one will.” Beatrice said. She scoffed at April and waved her arm toward her, echoing the tone that’s in her voice. April wanted to know why Beatrice was so desperate to hurt her. “No, not that. I didn’t give Carolyn the gravy boat. David did. My gift was something more generous.” Beatrice frowned, not understanding what she could have given to Carolyn and Neil.

“ The natural order of this university is garbage, Aurora, I muttered, tightening the grip of my backpack. We reached my locker to find a sleek matte black shopping bag hanging from the handle of my locker. It was the kind of bag that cost more than my monthly rent. A small gold logo, embossed in the Conner; Lora Piano. One of Milian’s most exclusive high Fashion brands. Aurora's head snapped up. “Holy shit is that… ? No way, she gasped, her jaw dropping.”

her Dad teased, making me chuckle. “Can a Beta’s mate take over the world?” Bailey asked, and I heard a shocked gasp. “Oh goddess, you and the Lord of grouchiness are mates?” he exclaimed, but I could hear the smile in his words. “Dad.” Bailey warned. He laughed. “I am happy for you both. I truly am Bailey. I just hope that boy knows how much it will cost him to keep you in books and chocolate. He may need a second job.” I found myself laughing now. “I think I am up for that challenge.” I told him with a smile at my mate. Hell, I think I would do anything for this girl, so buying her books and chocolate was nothing…

“That’s exactly why you need to be careful. Guys like Aiden don’t change overnight. What if this is a game? What if he’s playing the long game?” The word “bet” sent ice through my veins. Aiden had slipped and mentioned it once in the library, then brushed it off. I still didn’t know what it meant, but it haunted me. “I’m pulling back,” I said firmly. “At least a little. I need space to think clearly. My parents want to move sooner. I can’t lose focus now.” Sophie nodded approvingly. “Good. Create some distance.
