Chapter 53: Bitter Entanglement Alain's Bedroom, The Salt Mill Tavern, Fifth And Main, Boylesten, England (1763)... A rolling storm had been of no consequence to the two young lovers coupled inside the room at The Salt Mill Tavern, on Fifth and Main. The noises within had been thankfully drowned out by the crackle of thunder and the flashes of lightning had been of no issue to two people who needed only their bodies enmeshed to adhere to their most basic of carnal needs. The frequent moans that escaped the pinked lips of the young redhead peasant filled the room as the occasional grunts and groaning from the handsome young noble lad hard at work drilling his impressive appendage inside the t

After that, you got dead drunk and cried the entire way home. [That was when I knew you would never get over her.] [Luckily for you, she came back.] [Ethan, if you two get back together, you’ll restore my faith in love.] I froze. The sweet chocolate in my mouth suddenly tasted bitter. I did not have a sweet tooth, but I specifically loved this brand of chocolate. It was all because Ethan used two pieces of chocolate from this brand to win my heart three years ago. Back then, he was chased out of his house with nothing to his name and struggled to build a company from scratch.

The sharp and attractive square jawline moved slightly, he answered the other's question: "Old Fashioned" The bartender responded with a nod and then started his bartender, leaving him to wait by slamming the phone furiously. The wine glass was pushed in front of him, taking a sip. Bitter taste of Angostura Bitter is light of orange peel, a little sweetness of cane sugar is full of sweetness of Bourbon Whiskey. Those were the things he tasted, like the memories with the lover that became old a few minutes ago came back. The sweet taste like when she said she loved him with sweet words, the bitter taste when she said she loved him, but the feelings were slowly being shared with others. It all

Against everyone. I stand up, legs wobbling, but for the first time today, I lift my head. Hope is a bittersweet poison. And I am ready to get drunk, not knowing that tomorrow, the hangover will be of an unbelievable violence. The fall was only the prelude. The real betrayal, the most heartbreaking, has just begun.

he demanded, his voice laced with a mix of anger and desperation. I met his gaze with a steely resolve, my jaw clenched in defiance. "The feeling..." I murmured, my voice low and measured. "This feeling is better than the feeling of defeat and failure that haunts you." I watched as Drew's expression contorted with rage, his fists clenched at his sides. But I wasn't finished. "I was betrayed, you were humiliated. I lost, you failed. I felt pain, you felt rejection," I continued, each word a calculated barb aimed directly at his wounded pride. "Your pain is greater than mine, Drew. But do you want to know what's really worse?"

Every read, comment, vote, and word of encouragement means more to me than you know. I understand that the story is painful right now, and Liliana's suffering may leave you frustrated, heartbroken, and even angry. But please don't give up on this story just yet. Some wounds need time before justice arrives, and some victories are sweeter because of everything endured along the way.

“The Void is not so easily fucked out.” “Watch me,” I snarled. I leaned down, biting his shoulder, my teeth sinking into the blackened fur. The blood ran over my tongue, bitter and cold. I swallowed it. I would take his darkness into myself if I had to. I would drink every drop of the poison until he was clean.

She mattered to him more than he thought. The moment he opened the door, the smile vanished from Alan's face. He did not see that familiar figure. Everything in the house remained exactly as it was when he left, except for the glaring patch of dried blood on the corner of the floor tiles, which made Alan's heart skip violently. He suddenly remembered that it was from the kick he delivered that day. Regret ate away at him. Thinking about how he had made Summer cough up blood, Alan slapped himself hard across the face.

Then I added vodka and mint syrup. The emcee called me up. "Contestant No. 13, explain your creation." I took the mic. "I first called this 'Forgive', but now it's 'Moon Breeze'. It's a breakup drink for people who got hurt. It's about forgiving yourself and not punishing yourself for someone else's mistakes." I smiled, letting go. I won a participation award but wasn't discouraged. My mixing clip went viral online, dubbed "The Most Beautiful Bartender". I didn't love the focus on my looks. Beauty without skills often got labeled trophies.

How could I be so inhuman? I slipped the phone into my pocket and rushed forward towards her. In a split second, I picked her up in my arms. She was burning with fever and I felt guilty for fighting with her instead of taking care of her. ‘What’s wrong with me?’ I couldn’t help but mutter.
