Goodbye Night City Novels & Stories

Six months later. Outside, the city was loud with light. It was New Year’s Eve. Fireworks kept bursting open in the sky, one after another, colors spreading wide before disappearing into smoke. People were laughing somewhere below. Music floated faintly from distant streets. The whole city looked alive, as if nothing bad had ever happened here. Jabco stood alone on the hotel balcony. He was tall and still, his body barely moving except for the slow rise and fall of his chest. A cigarette burned quietly between his fingers, the smoke curling upward before being carried away by the sea wind. He didn’t cough. He didn’t even seem to notice it.

Jake It was a beautiful night, the sky was crystal blue the moon and stars were out. It was calming. Buti rarely noticed things like those, i didn't have the time to watch stars. Am sitted on the rooftop of club Ice, i can still hear the music from up here.. I took a sip of my burbon as i held the glass between my fingers looking out at the city. New York is like a different city at night and its the best view from up here.

I’m guessing the city has long been deserted, or, if any people do remain, they’re small in number and have grown adept at hiding. Our shadows are beginning to lengthen as we near the northern edge of the city. The highway returned to ground level some distance back, so now we can only see the areas adjacent to the road. Off to our right, a huge L.A. Fitness building rises up out of a large asphalt parking lot. Dad decides that the spacious interior might be a perfect spot to spend the night, so he sends Lieutenant Gregerson in with a patrol to check the place out. The rest of us sit down on a grassy area beside the highway. Kai is nowhere to be seen, but he’ll find us easily enough when he

"I'm sorry, sweetheart. Mommy misspoke." I tousled my daughter's hair, gazing into her green eyes, and let out a deep sigh. Harrison's POV In the dead of night, when the entire city was engulfed in slumber, the most luxurious club in the city, Good Nights, was alive with excitement. At this moment, the men from the most renowned families had gathered under dim lights, holding glasses of alcohol, swaying to the music. The person at the center of attention was none other than Peter Rufus. Tonight was his bachelor party, celebrating his last moments of single life.

Not a word was spoken, and I could hear the faint thumping of my heart, as if it could stop beating at any moment. A little later, I felt Arik squeeze my hand, so I looked up at him. I saw how sorry he was for me. I suddenly remembered what I heard from him while he was talking to his dad. His mom was also killed. Does he already know who did it? "We're going back to the city tomorrow. I want to talk to your parents about the resort. I plan to have this entire property demolished, Celeste," he said, gently caressing my cheek. "W-why?"

The message is from Lisa and she requested to spend the night in Aiden’s place because her friend’s launch party she had attended will be dismissed late and considering she’s around Aiden’s house, she'd prefer to spend the night over than risk walking alone in the street. Sin city is a bad as it’s good. Robbers litter the streets looking for who to steal from and often times molestation cases spread in the news. Aiden was still reading the message when Lisa’s call came in just as he sprang up from his seat to walk to the restroom and ease his full blabber. Aiden gestured toward the direction of the restroom for Michael to know where he's heading and with the distraction of the pho

"No, thank you very much for giving me a second opportunity. Thank you for not giving up on me despite my adversity. Please tell me. You're such a powerful woman. I admire you. You gave me a second opportunity, regardless of how idiotic I had been to you previously. I've made a lot of errors in my life, and you're the one who has helped me make the correct choices. Thank you so much for agreeing to work the night shift. Please accept my thanks for your kindness and love, and thank you for waiting for me with patience. "Ehem," we said, turning to face Remon's sister with a grimace on our faces. What city are we talking about? I simply disappeared for a period of time. You're going to have a s

I can easily afford to take care of ten of you. I listened to her good-natured boasting and couldn't stop myself from smiling lightly. It was midnight when Brooke called me. I got up quietly, not wanting to wake Daisy up.

"Logan, will you only be satisfied after you've driven me to my death? Harley Brooks is leaving for Toronto soon. After this, we'll never have another chance to see each other. I'm only going to see him off as his professor. Is that wrong too?" Her phone rang unexpectedly. When she answered, her voice turned impossibly gentle. "Okay, wait for me. I'll be there in half an hour." Before leaving, Leighton tossed the divorce papers into the trash. "We'll discuss when I get back. But don't even think about a divorce." She slammed the door so hard it echoed. Inside the room, only the sound of my own sobbing remained. I'd already checked. There were no flights to Toronto tonight. Sure enough, not l
