Novel & Cerita Borrow Haunting Adeline

"Where are the elixirs?" A tall shadow on the floor crossed Adeline's barely open eyes. The shadow was of a bulky man, his frame strong and sturdy, and on his hand was a whip. When his deep voice reached Adeline's faraway consciousness, the hairs at the back of her neck stood up. She clenched her fist in anger, despite losing every inch of her being. "We... don't have... such thing," Adeline replied in a hoarse voice, gritting her teeth.

ADOPTED HEIR **Birthday** Kendrick's P O V I stood behind Kendra as she knocked on granny's door. "Granny! Granny!" The door opened shortly, miss Isabella is the one who opened it. "Um...there was a man who brought a very expensive car. He handed me the keys and asked me to hand it over to you." Kendra said happily. "Oh thank you dear." Miss Isabella smiled and received the key from her. Granny came out behind her and started heading to the kitchen.

Just then the door opened to Max, Enzo and Zee. "Sleeping"? Zee said, looking at him. "Poor boy". Max looked at him and took his seat. "What now"? Enzo asked and I looked at them. "They are going to pay". I said and they all nodded. My baby had to suffer because of Adam Millar. I will make sure to turn his life into Hell. ******* Tabby

I whispered to myself, my hands trembling slightly as they hovered over the contents. When I opened my eyes again, a silver heart-shaped locket immediately caught my attention. It gleamed faintly in the soft light of the office, delicate and elegant. I furrowed my brow, hesitant to touch it, unsure what memories it might contain. Eventually, I picked it up with a careful reverence. My fingers traced the contours before I opened it, and I nearly froze when I saw the photographs inside. One side held a picture of a woman I didn’t recognize, and the other side had the same woman holding a baby. Confusion twisted my stomach as I tried to piece together the significance of these images. My mind r

“She hadn't gone abroad. She had gone to live with Marino, hiding in the shadows of the Vitale estate. I thought that chapter was over. I was happy. I was in love. Adeline and I married right after university, completely unaware of the malice brewing behind us. It was my greatest mistake—believing that a woman like Lilah would simply move on. I didn't realize she had become a monster.” He turned back to me, his eyes wet with a grief that looked decades old. “Adeline became pregnant. It was the happiest time of our lives. But on the night she gave birth to my daughter—October 15, 2003—Lilah returned to the hospital. There was a security breach, a fire alarm... chaos. By the time the smoke cle

"Stop clinging to me. I told you—it was all an act. Who'd ever really love an orphan like you? Oh, wait—Samuel did. And look how that turned out. Ha!" A storm of emotions swirled through me as I watched. Was this karma finally catching up to Adeline? But the moment she heard my name, her eyes lit up with desperate hope. She muttered to herself, over and over, "That's right... Samuel loves me. I still have Samuel." Driving through the pouring rain, she made her way to my grave. But when she arrived, my sister was already there—having my remains exhumed, preparing to cremate them alongside our parents and take us all back to our hometown.

It wasn’t confirmed yet, but in our world, it wasn’t impossible either, especially when that man made a deal with the devil or was the devil himself. We ended the day. Hendrix and Hunt went back to their work while we drove back to the pack house after we made sure that Milka was fully recovered. She was supposed to go home, but she insisted on coming with me. I thought it was because she wanted me to come to her when I was pulled into Kaiser’s world, but I was wrong. “I saw you, Adeline,” she said after I closed the door when we entered my room. “What?” I asked, “I saw you standing next to the man who was found dead at your border.”

"What did you just say?" Penelope's voice turned cautious. "Cal, she might've cheated on you." … Meanwhile, the supposedly unfaithful Sydney was driving toward the Hampton residence. Early that morning, Adeline had called, asking her to come by to formalize the terms they had agreed on—signing paperwork and all. Sydney had no objections. She had taken the houses and the money. Signing a contract would not be a problem. After lunch, she grabbed her bag and left the clinic. The Hampton residence was especially quiet at this hour. Dorothy often napped in the afternoon, and her sleep was light. The staff moved with hushed steps, careful not to disturb her.

My heart stopped as I hit a hard moving surface. “Stay away from her! She’s perfectly lucid!” Relief washed over me as I registered the voice. I turned to see Rade. “The Kids are at the Hollen Mansion. The house was empty, Adeline took some valuables, and left. The police are looking for her and them?” He glanced at the nurses. “She hit a nurse and—“ “I’m sorry, I am so sorry,” I said, leaning against Rade. “It’s just… I… my kids and husband. I have no right to do that, I am so sorry,” I swallowed the sob in my throat, “I would never hurt anyone.”

And strangely, I didn’t feel any attraction towards her. I wasn’t sure if it had faded over time since it was a stupid infatuation or if was it replaced by someone more…important? I walked out of the manor and found the ‘more important.’ Adeline stood before the birds with a bowl of grain in her hand, and she fed them. The birds seemed to be flocking around her as if she was snow white. Her lips moved as she looked at one of them. Was she talking to them? I moved closer to listen in.
