Novel & Cerita Couldn't Do It Without You

“What can you do without me?” My heart hammered in my chest as I thought of it. Kira has always been my go-to person. I had never done anything without consulting her. Not because I needed her validation, but because she was my only friend and I needed someone to talk to about my life. “You’re right.” I mumbled under my breath before turning the chair, facing the mirror. “You are the only one I have” and I regret ever making you feel like you mean the world to me. I mumbled the rest of the sentence to myself. My eyes went shut as I remembered what my father said to me, how he made it clear not to fuck this up.

“And now we get to build it. Together.” I felt a rush of emotion rise within me at the simplicity of it all. This was what we had fought for. Not just the success, the business, the empire we were building, but the connection we shared. The trust. The love. That was the foundation we stood on, the thing no one could ever take from us. “I don’t know what I’d do without you,” I murmured, my heart heavy with everything I was feeling. “You’re everything I never knew I needed.”

“Every moment. Watching, waiting… making sure you were still you when you woke up.” The weight of it pressed against me — the love, the care, the worry — and I felt a tear slip down my cheek. I tried to blink it away, but he caught it with his thumb. “You don’t have to apologize for being you,” he said softly. “Not to me. Not to anyone.” I let out a shaky breath, leaning closer. “I don’t know what I’d do without you,” I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper. “After… after last night… I don’t think I could’ve gotten through it alone.”

"That does not matter to me and knowing how you feel about me will not change the way I look at you, or how we interact with each other. Please, that cannot be the reason why you want to resign." "But it is." I could feel my chest getting heavier and heavier. "Look Leon, you know how much you have helped me. I cannot possibly work and function without you. You taught me everything I know now, how will I be able to work without you?" There was a hint of desperation in my voice, but I did not care. My words were true and genuine. I could not work effectively and efficiently without him. Leon sighed, his eyes showing how tired he was. "You have been doing fine your highness, and I am sure you w

“I didn't know that you were coming home. You did not call me.” “My phone died. I'm sorry, I would have called but I couldn't get it to charge. For some reason I seem to have forgotten the charger at home.” I said, and she nodded. Are often arm around her, pulling her to me and she hummed in response. She kissed my chest, letting her lips linger right over where my heart was beating. My eyes softened as I looked down at her. “I don’t know what I’d do without you,” I whispered into her hair. “I don't know how I would be able to cope and live with everything that I'm dealing with if you were not there by my side.”

One that I didn't know how it might end up, but it wasn't like I had a choice. “ What would I have done without you?” My teeth dug into my lips, as I yanked her into my arms, squeezing her so tight that I was scared I might be a mess. We clung into each other for what was a second which spun into minutes as she caressed my cheek gently. “Gosh, what exactly am I supposed to do? You, the kids, each of you are my life and I don't know what exactly is going to happen without you in it”

The quiet hum of the air conditioning felt too loud without her presence. I was having a hard time going through my day without Alexa. Every achievement felt muted, every success less significant. The usual satisfaction I derived from closing a major deal or outmaneuvering a rival was absent. Instead, there was a persistent ache, a subtle but constant sense of something missing.

"So, I had to forgive you and forget you." She chewed on her lower lip before continuing, "I honestly thought I would never get through it. It was so hard to live without you. I've lived my whole life with you, and it was so disorienting to wake up not seeing you around," she confessed, slightly shuffling from the bench.

Without her by my side, I couldn't imagine living this life. And no matter how many times I told myself I would move on, no matter how many times I attempted to do so. I was unable to. "I wish you were here," I muttered, my voice cracking.

The vulnerability, the hesitation—it was all there, and it made me want to protect him even more. “I… I don’t know what to say,” he admitted, finally lifting his gaze to meet mine. His eyes were wide, soft, and searching. “I… I didn’t know you felt like that.” “I never could tell you,” I said, running a hand through my hair in frustration. “I was too proud. Too stupid to admit it. And then, after high school… we just… drifted. And now, here we are, and I—” I paused, taking a deep breath. “I can’t imagine my life without you. Not now, not ever.”
