Can't Stay Away From You の小説・ストーリー

Matthew called several times, he sent messages, and my mother called too; but I didn't respond. Natasha, my sister, called countless times, but I didn't want anyone to stop me or talk me out of leaving. Then, the updates on social media started. I watched my life implode right in front of me. But there was no going back. I had to get away from Matthew Smith. I waited at the airport waiting area, hoping no one would spot me until I was gone.

I stepped back without a word. Her expression froze before irritation spread across her face. “Shane, we are already married. So what if I did not save my first time for you? Do you need to make such a big deal out of this? You managed to hold back for five years. Why are you acting like this now?” I stayed silent. Suzanna opened her mouth to continue. Before she could speak again, Eric walked out without a shirt and wrapped an arm around her waist. “Suzanna… help me…”

"You know why." I know why? Dammit, what do I know? Three simple words, yet, they nearly send me reeling back. He takes another small step toward me. It's barely anything but it steals the space between us. Our fronts are nearly flush against each other. "I can't stay away from you. But I must."

I paused and then continued, “Please tell her thank you and that we’re already divorced. My new girlfriend and I are doing great. Unless there’s something truly urgent, please don’t contact me again. I’m worried my girlfriend might get jealous.” I spoke slowly, every word deliberate. As soon as I finished, I heard a loud thud—something heavy dropping—and then the call disconnected. Not long after, Lucy sent me several messages. [Graham, what else do you want from me? I’ve swallowed my pride to beg you to come back. Why are you still treating me like this? Do all our years together mean nothing to you?]

Selene’s lips parted; words caught on her tongue. The twin stirred within her, excitement simmering faintly under her skin. Yes… let him see your restraint… feel your distance… Kael’s jaw tightened. His claws flexed, barely visible beneath the leather of his sleeves. “I won’t pretend I don’t see it,” he continued, voice rising slightly with controlled fury. “You’re pulling away. You’re giving space that doesn’t exist. And I—” He paused, swallowing hard. “I can’t let you do this to me.”

It was as if the last trace of warmth inside me had been drained, leaving only a cold, empty shell. Yasmin's madness and obsession had corrupted every vestige of the beauty that once existed between us, and the poison had finally seeped into my own heart. Yet I felt as if my life had stopped forever on that snowy winter night—the night I once thought I could spend forever with her.

And this time — I don’t walk away.

We talked about the old days—turning over photographs, one by one. Each picture carried a memory, and the memories never seemed to run out. The moon slowly began to set, and my body started to turn transparent again. "Greyson," my voice was fading. "I have to leave now. The Moon Goddess is calling me." He frantically tried to grab my hand. "Don't go! Stay with me a little longer..." I smiled gently, my body beginning to drift upward, out of my control. "Millie, let me hold you one last time," he cried out.

I can change the world for you but I can't change your heart. So I'm leaving. Now I understand that people don't leave because they want to. They just have to. I understand why you left. Probably by the time you read this I'll be out of this country. Where am I headed? I think it doesn't matter. I'll just find some place where it will be easy to forget how I let someone as beautiful as you slip away from my hands like sand. When will I return? Not anytime soon. I'll stay more than a decade, maybe two away from your life. Whether you decide to live here, or somewhere else,
