" I blinked back the tears and laughed softly, looking at him with cold clarity. Finally, I understood why he had lied to me for ten years in my previous life. I wiped away tears I hadn't realized were falling and turned back to my room. Ray seemed surprised by my silence. He started to stand up to follow me, but Shannon pulled him back. I stayed in the bedroom all day, packing my luggage. By evening, the rumble of a car engine sounded outside. Soon after, someone knocked on the door. "Excuse me, is Nora Spencer home?" Ray opened the door, probably thinking it was the post office delivering my documents. Just as he was about to speak, I walked out with my suitcase and pushed past him. "I'm N

"Let go of me!" I screamed at the general manager, Zachary Campbell. "I really am a doctor!" Subsequently, I turned toward my intern, Lydia Sharpe, and yelled, "What the hell are you doing? Are you aware of how crucial the situation is? Explain everything to them and release me right now!" Lydia was the intern I had been mentoring, and she was the most incompetent doctor I had ever seen. Once, she even switched saline for lobeline in an operating room. If I hadn't caught that mistake in time, her actions would've caused a serious medical incident.

She did not even flinch when she saw a group of students standing near the incubator door; they were attempting to appear as if they were tying their shoelaces, yet they lingered longer than needed. She was a force, but it was a silent force. No one wasted their time on distractions. No one wasted time to discuss the rumors. Everyone planned. Inside the incubator, Shylie called together those she trusted, not the opportunity-seeking gossipmongers or the drama queens. Only those individuals who could maintain their composure under pressure, those who understood the gravity of the situation. There were three members of her cohort and Darren, both of whom had proven themselves to be reliable du

Anthony had come back to life too. He confessed, "In our previous life, I didn't marry you, it was Holly. Your parents claimed she was my savior, but I just couldn't warm up to her. That's why, when the time came to move on, I asked to be sent to the coldest, most remote outpost, hoping to get away from her. Sure enough, she couldn't stand the bleakness of the frontier and hightailed it back to Riverton in no time.

He took my hand in his big one and shook it gently. “It’s a pleasure to meet you. My name is David Nathaniel Fortner.” He introduced himself first, chuckling amused. “Nice to meet you. I’m Arianna…” I vocalized seriously. “Arianna Adams.”

"Just good old intuition, huh? My old chief respected intuition, he told every one of us, 'always trust your guts, never ignore a hunch', good thing you didn't!" Wei nodded in agreement, now nibbling at the inviting slice of chocolate cake since the fried fish was long gone. "Such a good intuition is not common though, I could really use someone like you." No response, more cake-nibbling. Yunlan raised an eyebrow. "Would you?" "Would I what?" "Help me? Your intuition might be precious in my line of work." "I already have a job." Yunlan had finished eating, he sat back against the chair. "What is it that you do?"

Three exhausting weeks learning Sebastien Vale's impossible schedule, memorizing contracts, anticipating his demands before he voiced them, and somehow surviving under a boss who had a reputation for destroying assistants and replacing them within days. I understood why people were surprised I was still employed, but reducing all my effort to a cheap rumor about sleeping my way into the position felt like a slap across the face. Before I could stop myself, I pushed the break room door open. Both women immediately turned toward me. “Oh, look who's here,” Celine purred. “Lena, we were just talking about you.” I ignored her and walked straight to the coffee machine. If they wanted a reaction, t

"Lexi, you should think this through. A million is enough for you to live comfortably in a small town for the rest of your life. Build a little family… isn't that the kind of life you always wanted?" She had expected to see greed in my eyes, but much to her disappointment, I only let out a soft laugh. "You and Ian have been screwing me over for so long. Do you really think I'm stupid enough to let you play me like this? You've already ruined my entire career." Ian stepped toward me, closing the distance slowly, but I didn't back away. I simply looked at him calmly. For some reason, he stopped about three feet away. "Lexi, just stop. You can't win against us," he said, his tone almost gentle.

His eyes meet mine, and for a moment, neither of us moves. The voice on the other end of the line speaks. "Ken, are you okay?" Ken, short for Kendrick? My hands turn clammy. My head spins. He doesn't break eye contact. After what feels like forever, he responds. "Yes, I am. Call me when you get back." He ends the call. I collapse onto the floor, my veil slipping loose around my neck. Kendrick. The scar. The wheelchair. Kendrick Harrold is alive.

"If you're not doing anything, don't waste time here. There are plenty of people in the world you can help. Don't waste it on me." I placed my hand over the lens. The screen went black. … [In the Next Life — Oct. 11, 2023, 9:32 AM — I Don't Need Anyone's Pity] "You're Hailey Cooper, Ben Cooper's sister, right?" I was sweeping the back kitchen of a café. I frowned when I heard the voice. "You again?" His voice came from behind the camera. "People online are saying you betrayed your family, but they don't know you have cancer. I want to film a documentary series about you. Is that okay?"
