Dan Simmons Novels Novels & Stories

He had to lie, "No there's nothing. Why would you think so? I thought we had been of the opinion that it was the work of con artists?" "Yes but for every con stunt ever pulled there's always an element of truth that makes it successful." "The truth is that I don't believe in such things," Simon said, climbing a step further. "If I was reincarnated and I felt something was off about me you'll be my go to person for support." "I've seen how you admire Stephanie," Simone said softly. "Yeah I think I like," Simon said, pausing in his track in the final step. "Then you should go after her please," Simone said, reaching the final step and standing beside her brother. "The truth is I think she feel

Simone I was sitting at my desk sifting through new listings when a voice said, "Excuse me, are you Simone?" I looked up to see a tall, attractive black man standing in front of me. He was looking at me with a shit-eating grin that I couldn't quite decipher. "Well, damn, I see why Michael is so obsessed with you," he said. I immediately blushed, hoping none of my co-workers were listening. I looked around, and thankfully they were all busy. A couple girls looked the man up and down appreciatively, but otherwise ignored us.

“Yes.” The honesty caught me off guard again. Simon walked deeper into the library slowly, and I became hyperaware of the storm outside, silence inside, and the fact that they were completely alone, again. Simon stopped beside the couch. “What are you reading?” He asked. I looked down at the cover quickly just to avoid his eyes. “Some romance novel.” One corner of his mouth tilted faintly. “Any good?” I swallowed hard. “Depends.” “On?” I looked up reluctantly. “Whether you like toxic men, I guess.”

How terrifying is a man who's a simp and knows that he's one? In three years of dating, I've transferred six million dollars to my girlfriend, Nadine Stark. I made sure every transaction was labeled as a willing gift. I know she only sees me as her personal ATM, but I still go along with it. We break up over something ridiculous. I'm a little late in transferring money to her once, and she screams at me to get lost over and over again. So I do. That's when Nadine loses it. She starts stalking and harassing me, and she spreads rumors about me. She claims I have an STD, that I've stolen her gold necklace worth 150 thousand dollars, and that I've abused her cat to death. In the end, I los

After Gladyce left, Daisy looked back and smiled at Queena, saying, "Miss Lee, let's get along until Gladyce gets back!" ... Gladyce found Simon's room according to the room number he gave her. She knocked on the door, and Simon opened the door. He said with a solemn expression, "Come in. I'm alone." Gladyce did not look relaxed either. She walked in and sat down, both of them not saying a word for a while. "Why did you do that?" Simon spoke first, reproachfully. Gladyce lowered her head and clenched her fists. She could not bring herself to tell him her past... She would not have seen it if she had not hacked into the database! Right now, she could not even trust herself!

I wondered what had changed her mind. "Dr Simmons!" I said with a smile. "Spare me the greeting and please don't offer me anything to drink! I am not staying.You said that you wanted to know more about the couple that died from the vampire bite.Well I'll tell you what I know but don't tell agent Phenyo that I helped you.Actually I have changed my mind,can I have coffee I really need it!" Said Doctor Simmons. Katlego smiled. She prepared the coffee and brought it in a large cup.

Because I now comprehended what had happened to the unfortunate chief accountant who had been here. He had been caught with his hand in the till and O’Grady had meted out his particular brand of justice. Swift and non-compromising. Simmons had just said something about a broken knee. I shuddered. * As though he sensed my fear, St Just turned to me. But when he spoke, it was in a cold, distant voice, “Ms Cruz, you will be working with Simmons who will show you the ropes.” I nodded and said in a small voice,

Negotiations, flights, even my so-called coffee breaks got eaten alive by paperwork. People at work started calling me 'Iron Woman.' I just snorted. "Better than wasting time on drama." The Chat Feed couldn't shut up: [Queen Ley's career arc is unstoppable!] [Girlboss script unlocked!] [Meanwhile Shay's face-planting in liquor. Karma's on point!] Then some finance channel invited me for an interview. I showed up in a razor-sharp suit, cool as ice, not a single crack of heartbreak left. The host leaned in all smiles. "Ms. Landon, how'd you pull off a business miracle this fast?"

I knew one thing, if Simon decided to use even 30% of the tricks his novel’s character used that would make him… a sex god. “I will never look at Simon the same way…” I mumbled after reading the book, and went to bathroom to cool my red face down.

Simone's pov I looked side by side to see James and Jason, the Franklin twins, holding me on either side of my arms, and I winced as their grip tightened when they held me back from moving. "Let go of me! Let me go now!" I yelled, kicked and trashed about violently, and I trashed about more furiously when I watched Dave open a rest room cubicle and upturned my backpack. Tears filled my eyes. I wasn't sure if it was from the fact that my hands were aching from being held too tightly by the JERKlin twins or from seeing my own books, weeks of homework and years of work, falling into the toilet.
