Novel & Cerita Finny From If He Had Been With Me

The burn slid down smooth and familiar as I took a slow sip. Hayes waited, his eyebrows raised. When I stayed silent, he leaned forward, elbows on the table. “Come on, Rhys. I’ve known you since before Mirabel could walk. You don’t do ‘different’ without a reason. Spill it. Is it the girl? Mirabel’s friend?” The scotch suddenly tasted sharper. I set the glass down with a soft clink and met his gaze head-on. There was no point lying to Hayes. He’d sniff it out eventually, and I needed someone I could trust with this particular mess.

“Just so you know, Spence I would do it again. I would sacrifice my life for you. I am always on your side.” I look around and see everyone nodding their heads in agreement. I am about to respond, when all of the sudden. “MOMMY!!!” I turn to see Finn running in my direction with Madeline next to him. I can feel Wilder is close by because I feel a slight pull and a hum of energy across my skin.

In that moment, the baby inside me shifted, as if it were trying to reach out for help. Peter flinched slightly when he felt it, but his hand remained steady. Without hesitation, he began measuring where to make the incision. Each touch felt like a sharp reminder of the emptiness inside me. My heart felt like it had been ripped out and replaced with a gaping void. “Shawn doesn’t love you. Maybe it’s for the best that the baby won’t make it. In the end, Cindy will give Shawn a child. Their baby will probably be so cute.”

Gwyneth drove her car that night. far, far away from Laverna. She didn't want to see or hear anyone she knew. She's already aware of the "I told you so" and the "See, I could tell he wasn't that into you" coming from her friends and family. Tonight, she rather not hear any of it. After driving down to the beach several miles away, she sat quietly inside her car thinking to herself whether or not she should walk into the ocean and never return. Misery had set in deep for her.

I say softly and the vulnerable look in his eyes disappears. He smiles at me from ear to ear and I smile back. We look like two fools just happily staring at one another, but I don't care. Ever since that day in the emergency room, Finley has been the one for me. Darcy and the matebond scared me, but now that is gone. The threat is gone too. There shouldn't be a single thing to keep us apart.

THEA Finn has gone to school. I dropped him straight from home. Home. Not a possibly sterile visit with court-monitored drop-offs and anxious check-ins. Not a headache from the possibility of a string of hours measured and dissected by Sebastian, not some awkward tug-of-war between two people who once promised forever and failed spectacularly. He’s mine again. Fully, completely, no ifs. The weight of it crashes into me all over again. I bite down on a sob.

Honestly, I just want to be with Elijah, to bask in the simplicity of his company, which is why I agreed to this. Finn nods and smiles, making another note. “Great.” Then he walks off, and I call after him, “Thanks, Finn.” As I sip my coffee, I can’t shake the feeling that my life is about to change in ways I’m not entirely prepared for.

“Because I like her a lot. And you know I go after what I want. You’ve always known that.” Zayn stared at him, the color draining from his face. For the first time in his life, he was utterly speechless before Finn Wyndham—his best friend, his childhood friend. “I’ll give you a minute to search your conscience and tell me you won’t change your mind,” Finn added evenly. “Because that woman? I love her. And I want to be with her.” Zayn swallowed hard.

FINN found me. After that long run, he found me and put me back to the palace he kept on bragging about. Honestly, Finn is not forcing me to come with him. I could easily push him away if I wanted to. I could tell him I needed some time to think and his presence is giving me a headache. The truth is, he's nothing but a support to me. However, this fight is on me. Killing numerous humans is in my hands and my decision to follow. No one should get involved only to get the punishment I was supposed to have.

And now she is clinging onto him. I expected it to hurt. But from everything I'm trying to process, I can't seem to feel pain or jealousy for him and her. Probably a little annoyed that the app chose her for him. Finn was still looking at me, surprise in his face as he saw me running barefoot, with a bunch of security surrounding me. Then, I saw the answer hit him, and he didn't look happy. Neither does Vanessa, as she saw him looking at me, then looking at me and seeing the chaos around me.
