Free To Focus Novels & Stories

"What's the fun in that princess you have to figure out yourself. I'll keep you company as I'm done downstairs. Now begin." This training was starting to feel more like torture, Araida is sick in the head and that's one thing I'm certain about. "Concentration and focus are the key princess, it's not by strength," she said as she chugged on the food and gave a sly smile. It was then it clicked on me, that was the answer I had been looking for, it wasn't by physical means I'd get my freedom. I stood still and tried as much to focus. In a matter of a few seconds, after I had maximum focus, I was out of the balloon.

Something like approval flashed past his eyes and then he moved aside. The gun was sitting atop a tree stump. “Do you remember what I told you yesterday? Pick it up and fire a shot.” This time, he wasn't breathing down my neck or clouding my senses with his scent and that allowed me to concentrate. Clearing my mind of everything, I focused on the target, balancing the weight of the gone throughout my body. I had once read somewhere that focusing on someone or something helps give you tunnel so instead of looking at the target, I envisioned someone in its stead.

I threw myself back into work after that, with that phone call from Flora nothing more than a brief distraction. I thought I had made myself clear enough that Flora would not escalate things. Alas, I had underestimated just how obsessed she was. That afternoon, Wendy and I had just come out of the lab and were headed toward our classroom. Wendy said with genuine admiration, "Vincent, you're the most impressive guy I have ever studied with. You think fast, and your logic is impeccable."

Kayla's Pov: So let me tell you a little about myself: For as long as I can remember I have been alone, it has its benefits but mostly it can be so dam lonely, do not get me wrong I love living in the woods I feel so free, and I'm not one of them horses that are so proud of them self although I know I am something worth looking at, but Sadler that is not a good thing as it mean I attract so much attention to myself which I do not need or want.

It all happened so quickly that despite being completely taken aback at what had just happened, I hadn't been able to do anything about it. “You’re not present, Adolf. Your mind is somewhere else and it's preventing you from making the swift decisions that need to be made in order to outwit your enemies. You're holding onto a feeling of apprehension and it's hindering your performance, causing you to become vulnerable and easily defeated by those against you. It's clear that this lack of focus is what's keeping you from emerging victorious, but with the right kind of attention and dedication, this can all be turned around.”

It was so hard and unbearable, there was so much to listen to, abide to, and so much to do. ‘You know what, in order for me to be what I want to be, I have to concentrate on one thing, focus is the only thing I need. I have to look at my studies, fix myself and be able to control my emotions as much as I can. I have to forget about the past, every dirt that I got myself involved in and learn to let go of what let me go. I am tired, really tired of being taken for granted, of being lied to, cheated to, used, and played.

ZADEN I have a rule about distractions… Don't entertain them. It's not complicated, when I'm working I'm working, and everything outside of what's directly in front of me gets filed under not my problem right now and dealt with later or not at all depending on its actual level of importance. I built an empire on that kind of focus. You don't get to where I am by letting every little thing pull your attention sideways. So I genuinely cannot explain what happened on Wednesday night.

Sorry, I should have messaged. Alex: Alone? What happened? Hey, it’s no prob. Isis: Sigh. How about we have lunch together? If you’re free. Alex: For you, anything! Lol and also because I happen to be free lol. Isis: *face-palm* see you then! Alex: See ya love. Isis smiled. Avoiding Alex added to her stress and now she felt more in control. More capable of not thinking about Mr. Greyson and his relationship with the exceptionally intelligent and beautiful Ms. Green.

I unfolded the pages and pushed them toward the three of them. "Perfect. I want to end every personal and financial tie between us." At that moment, the air seemed to freeze.

" With that, he grabbed Clara's hand and walked away without looking back. I was already used to Marcus's contempt. I wasn't going to keep entangling myself with him anymore. If Clara could give up love for her dreams, why couldn't I give up a worthless man for my freedom? I wanted to see the world beyond this pack, too, just like Clara had.
