Novel & Cerita From The Corner Of The Oval

It was a typical late spring evening, powder-puff pink and gold, and Cole sprinted over the flagstones, heading toward the front quad and the Lodge and, ohgodohgodohgod, Aiden Crux. Her mouth was tangy with copper, as though she could taste her own too-fast beating heart. The lawns of Spring Well, like pretty much everywhere else in Oxford, were sacrosanct, but she cut across the corner of one anyway because it was a legit emergency.

Smiling, “thank you for the invite. I would love that.” Levi led the way through orchards of flowers that had a water fountain in the middle of each and a decoration of fishes in a lake on both sides of the corner where they took. “This is beautiful,” Lana complimented. It was serene and colorful. One could clear their head around the environment. She also noticed that there were cameras in every corner.

Olivia looked confused as I led her inside the massive facility. "Go-karts?" she asked, eyeing the track where small vehicles zoomed around curves. I shrugged, trying to keep things light. "Why not? Nothing clears the mind like a little speed and competition." For a moment, I thought she might refuse. Then, to my surprise, a tiny smile tugged at her lips. "I haven't done anything like this since college." "Perfect time to remember how," I said, guiding her toward the ticket counter. Soon we were racing around the track, the roar of engines drowning out everything else. I watched Olivia's face transform as she focused on navigating the curves, her emerald eyes lighting up with concentration.

Olivia races to check the building security feed, only to see live footage of her own office, right now, from an unseen camera. In the corner of the screen, behind her, a red coat moves out of frame..

Daring to lean a little out of the shadows, I cautiously peek around the corner. Above the street is a huge screen used to present news and announcements, and there, fifty feet high, is Orch's face. Her voice is coming out of the speakers, the sound carrying down the street. And I can hear other speakers in the distance playing her voice too. It's all over town.

And today, I, Eleanor James, stand at the centre of it all. The plaza was alive with colours—bright banners of gold and ivory fluttered in the soft breeze. The scent of freshly cut roses and lilacs filled the square. Children ran about with painted faces, mothers gathered under the canopies, and cameras flashed from every corner. The stage, draped in white velvet and lined with lilies, gleamed beneath the midday light.

A lot of people were dancing, but mostly people were catching up. Olivia and Byron were somewhere in the crowd. I was at the corner sipping my second mocktail. It was all to keep myself distracted, so I wouldn’t keep glancing at him every other second. I didn’t think it was helping because I still knew what corner of the room he was in… “Have you seen Noah?” Olivia had come up to me. He’s there. I pointed at the spot where he was beside the door. Maybe I should have hesitated a little bit. Thankfully, she didn’t think it was weird.

"When it happens, you will find that my son cannot protect you from it, because he has given away the thing that does the protecting. I want you to remember that I told you so in this room." Then he went out through the waiting room and said good morning again to the two people in it, and the bell went over the door, and the car pulled away down Union Street. Olivia sat down on the floor between the desk and the filing cabinet, in the corner where nobody coming in could see her, and she stayed there for a very long time with her arms wrapped around her knees and her whole body shaking.

It was one of the reasons why he had did everything in his power to make sure she remained alive. But now she was no longer a child, she had blossomed like a flower and she had transformed into an enchanting young lady. ' fate has brought us together again, Olivia and this time around you'll be mine' " Edwina, where's the venue for tomorrow's competition" He had declined the invitation sent to him but now, he was eager to attend " Eldest master, it's been held in the Bronx arena" Cerek's eyes glinted as it settled on the note attached to the back of Edwina's dress.

She still thought she could manage him. That's so cute. They took the smaller table near the bar, not far from ours. Close enough to overhear. Olivia leaned in, her voice low but loud enough. "Did you see his face? I swear I saw a vein pop." I smiled. "Well," Olivia said, raising her glass, "Tonight’s about showing up. Not shrinking." "Cheers to that." We clinked glasses. From the corner of my eye, I saw Daniel watching. I didn’t flinch. I leaned back, sipped my drink, and spoke just a little louder.
