happily ever after - THE END -" *** The I-beam from the word document continues to blink as I reach the finale of my draft for this article. I stretch my hands upward and relax my legs under the table while staring at the beauty of St. Vitus Cathedral. The coffee shop where I am writing is just across this magnificent beauty. Thanks to you, I finally get the idea of how to perfectly feature this magnificent structure. I found my perfect inspiration for my next book as well. Apparently, the publisher can no longer wait so I have to send the finished manuscript to the editors at the end of the day. I reach for the white cup of coffee on top of the round table that matches the chair I am sittin

Division 24 The man looked confused. "The deaths? It has been peaceful in this area." Beatrice frowned. "How so." She mumbled to see a figure leave the church through the other door close to a burner. "Ha! Something is burning." She said, and the father turned to have his eyes widened. They both walked to the pulpit of the church and behold a book was on the burner while the fiery fire burned. Father Jude had gone to bring water to quench the fire and when the fire that had been burning was quenched, Beatrice squinted her eyes to see that three of the books in the burner had burnt to ashes but one had not burned..not a single scratch on its body.

Isabella's POV My legs wobbled together as I jumped out of Damien's car. That went better than I expected. The plan is to always keep him in between my legs and have him trust me completely. The wetness from my pussy kept dripping down my legs and I just wished I could go back in there and finish what we started. “No!” I resisted the urge and continued walking to the bus station. Damien's words to me inside his car flooded through my mind, and I shuddered. I never expected him to get all emotional with me all of a sudden.

Not waiting to behold the fallout, I scramble out of the dining room, fleeing back to the nursery. Once back in the room, I ignite a taper from the room's only wall sconce. I make my way to my dark cell, lighting the little oil lamp on the nightstand next to my sleeping pallet. The small oil lamp sheds enough light for me to open my newly acquired trunk and grab another woolen tunic. I change and performing a cursory exam of the fading burn marks on my thighs, relieved that the soup is not any hotter because this is a time where I could die from a splinter.

"Chicago it is." "Oh, my goodness!" My mother clapped with delight. "We're going to plan a real wedding of the century for Chicago!" The wife of Vince Moretti was a ghost. The schemes of Sophia, ashes on the wind. I looked at Dante, at the future reflected in his eyes. The war was over. And in the quiet that remained, I was finally, truly, home.

“So you burn with what you loved.” When I opened my eyes, I was back on the floor of our burning den. This time, I pressed wet moss to my muzzle and dialed the public emergency channel. Let him choose her again. But in front of everyone. The roof beam fell at minute three. Wood cracked across my shoulder—bone snapped, I screamed, smoke swallowed the sound. Another beam caught my thighs. Blood pooled fast, soaking the nest I’d built for her. My daughter—still safe in my womb, five months along—kicked once, weak, then went still.

Bang! Riddled with bullets, Lucy collapsed into a filthy puddle. Her eyes were wide open, staring blankly at the black sky as the light slowly faded from them. It was a miserable end, identical to my own death in the rain in my past life. But Henry, having killed the traitor, didn’t get his comeback. His reputation for treachery, for slandering a loyal subordinate, and for being so blind he drove his family into the ground, had spread through the entire North American Mafia.

The last trace of affection finally disappeared, and all that was left was scorn. I skipped through this section, because I had no patience to read through Julius’ “noble” actions. I skipped to the last two pages. This was the last chapter.

The early morning fog blanketed Ember Hollow like a veil of mourning. Ash clung to every leaf, and the ruins of the chapel smoldered still, a scar on the village's sanctity. The fire that had ravaged it hadn’t merely burned timber and stone—it had scorched truths, hidden old sins, and unsealed whispers buried for generations.

“What is it?” "'Burned for Her' by some Estella Grey. Your fans sent it." He picked it up again, showing me the cover. A woman with auburn hair and green eyes stared back at me.
