Come Back To Me Series Novels & Stories

After all these years, she's back, and somehow, she managed to slip into my world again without even trying. The memories flooded back the arguments, the misunderstandings, the slap. I never cared. I should have. But I was too caught up in the lies and manipulations of my past, too blind to see the truth in front of me. And then... she was gone, leaving me in the wreckage of our life, unable to fix what I had destroyed. I picked up the desk phone, dialing my assistant. "Emma," I said, my voice steady but my heart racing. "Get me everything you can on Tasha."

"I don't want you to get angry or think that I trapped you but it's just that I can't keep it any longer and that's the reason why I came back." Her narration wasn't hitting the right button and I was failing to understand her. "What do you mean?" I asked. She took out a picture of a young girl and handed it to me for me to look at. I stared at it but I still wasn't getting the hint about what she was referencing. "Who's this?"I asked. "Your daughter Williams. We have a daughter together and that's why I'm back." What the hell?!

"I won't bring you back here, baby. Not to a place that can't love you whole." Nadine tried to recall what the boy from her dream looked like. She tried to picture his face again, how he laughed, how he said her name, but the quiet of the room and the exhaustion of the day pulled her under before she got very far. Knock Knock The sound barely reached her. Half-asleep, she mumbled, "Yes, Adrian…" From behind the door, his voice: "I'm going out—" She didn't hear the rest of it. "Mmm… kay…"

Caspian set down his goblet and surveyed the room, his voice echoing through the vast hall: "This is your last chance to contact the outside world. Make a call to your kin or your loved ones." "Once you enter the core laboratory, you'll be immersed in a hundred years of research stasis and pharmaceutical trials. If you want to back out, now is the time." The soft sounds of dialing filled the room, interspersed with stifled sobs. I sat still for a long time before finally taking out my phone and opening a social media account I hadn't touched in ages.

Compensation. Not once did she say she missed me. Not once did she say she loved me. Five years was a long time. Everything had changed. Maybe guilt. Maybe she was just busy. Either way, she didn't even finish her cream soup before leaving. She left me a phone. "Call if you need anything." But the first person to contact me wasn't Selene. It was Cody. Full name—Cody Hogg. The second I picked up, he came at me hard.

Me: hi, thank you for calling Tessa, and also when will you be coming back, I’m not trying to be nosy, I just would like to know, but you don’t have to tell me, it’s not an obligation if you don’t feel comfortable it’s fine. And with that I clicked on send. Immediately the three dots popped up on the screen, indicating he was replying. Andreas: of course, I’ll be home by 4:00pm mirella. And someone his reply made me immediately envision him calling my name.. I turned off my phone and rushed to join Tessa.

I remembered the way she had looked at me outside the gold shop… eyes wide, scared, then running into that cab like I was the danger. My throat tightened. Bradford had mentioned it yesterday when we spoke on the phone. “She’s back, and safe, man.” He hadn’t given details. I hadn’t asked for them either. But the words had stayed with me. She was safe. She was back. And I still hadn’t reached out. I walked to the desk. I wasn't a coward, never been one. My hand hovered over the phone, the dark screen lit up instantly, and I scrolled to her name in my contact list. My thumb brushed the call button. The screen lit up, ready.

"Bonnie, listen to my voice, baby." My vision starts to clear up but I'm struggling to breathe, still struggling to talk. I haven't seen their faces so how can just hearing their voices take me back to that place? "Bonnie, come back to me, sweetheart. That's it, listen to my voice, come back to me." My vision finally completely clears and all I can see is my mate standing in front of me, his eyes full of worry meeting mine and that's enough to pull me back to the now.

“No, I can’t do that. He wants to prove that he can be trusted. He wants there to be no doubt. We tried to help but somehow the hunters found out that you were raiding the bunker. So be careful who you trust on your end.” “April please just come back.” Trying one more time. “No, when I hav…” I cut her off. “Fine if you won’t come back with me promise, me one thing. Promise that you will call me every other day at ten in the morning. If I don’t answer leave a message so that I know you are OK.” “I will Quinn, I promise. I will contact you when we figure out where they took her.” “OK, I love you, Sis.”

And a secret she’d kept hidden for ten years. She adjusted her navy blazer as the elevator doors opened with a soft ding, and then she stepped inside. Her reflection in the mirrored walls stared back at her as she exhaled sharply. Twelve years ago, she came into this building as a young intern. Ten years ago, she left Damien Carrington’s life and never looked back. And now… she was coming back to take down his company. The elevator was quiet as it went up, and she felt her chest tighten. It wasn’t fear. It wasn’t regret. It was something stronger. She remembered her daughter’s sleepy face that morning, asking why she was wearing “war clothes” again.
