Haunting Adeline Chapter 16 Novels & Stories

All my life, I've been thinking about the same thing...That because of who I was, I was destined to be alone forever... But who would've thought, that I was actually destined to be bound to Death himself... "His fingers went under my chin, coaxing me to look back up at him and as soon as I did, my heart started racing again, noticing the way his haunting eyes were now trained on my lips as he huskily said those two words again, "Forgive me." And before I could utter a single word, his soft, plump lips crashed against mine in a chaste, yet passionate kiss, sending warm tingles all over my body, making my heart almost jump out of my chest as we stayed like that for a few moments, before he suddenly pulled back, staring at me a little shocked, only now realizing what he had just done, then turned around and quickly walked away, leaving me standing there, speechless."

Savannah Cole is drowning in debt and desperation when she’s summoned to a penthouse interview with elusive billionaire Colton Briggs. But instead of a job, she’s offered a contract marriage: six months, one million dollars, no intimacy, and no questions. It’s a lifeline for Savannah—until she signs. What begins as a cold, calculated agreement spirals into a twisted maze of secrets. The deeper Savannah is pulled into Colton’s opulent world, the more she realizes nothing is as it seems. A blood-stained wedding dress. A locked vault. A missing heiress who once wore her ring. Whispers echo through the mansion’s marble halls—and every warning points to one truth: Colton Briggs is hiding something dark... and deadly. Bound by lies, trapped by a contract, and stalked by shadows from the past, Savannah must decide—will she survive Colton’s world long enough to escape it? Or is she the next chapter in a legacy of vanishing brides? When love is a transaction, and trust is a gamble, the price of saying “yes” might just be her life.

Mom, Dad, and Jesse—my younger sister—went out to sea on a trip, but they were caught in a tsunami, and all three perished in the accident. I was left all alone—just as I was about to start university—burdened with nothing but a mountain of debt. In the end, everything I had saved for my university tuition, along with the house Mom and Dad had left me, was taken by debt collectors. I was then forced to work in a shady factory, laboring 16 hours a day, sleeping in a shabby ten-person dorm, and surviving on nothing but thin, flavorless broth. I finally cleared the last of the debt when I accidentally discovered that Jesse—who was supposed to be dead—had appeared on television and become a famous dancer. Mom and Dad even gave an interview about her success. It turned out they had taken out a massive loan and faked their deaths to flee to Pravia for Jesse's dance studies, leaving the entire debt for me to deal with just as I was supposed to start university. I went to confront them, demanding the truth, but they threw me out like trash. I was then hit and killed by a speeding truck at the side of the road. "How could Lorraine be such a nuisance, not even having the decency to die far away from our doorstep?" I have been given another chance, reborn on the day they faked their deaths.
