Home And Away Novels & Stories

On weekends, I took on freelance work. For three years, I survived on no more than four hours of sleep a night. Once, when I had a terrible fever, I chose not to go to the hospital to save money. Instead, I buried myself under heavy blankets, trying to sweat it out until I nearly ended up with pneumonia. Charlene held me, crying so hard she could barely breathe. She swore that she would give me a real home one day and never let me suffer again. And she did it. She rose from the ashes and became a powerhouse in the business world. She also gave me a home, one that was registered under someone else's name.

I say as he keeps my suitcase in my room. He leaves me alone with a smile and i look around. Just the same as always.

And i love it My parents live 100 kms away, away from the city. My father is retired and is enjoying his life with my mother. My father used to run a multi-millionaire company, which is now taken over my brother.

At least that way, it would not be quite so humiliating. I could tell the kids at the group home, "They didn't abandon me. I chose to go back." They probably would not believe me. Still, it would sound better than the truth. I brushed the dust off the suitcase and pulled open the rusty zipper. First, I packed clothes. My favorite blue dress. The sweater Mom knitted for me last year. The red scarf that had started to pill at the edges. I folded everything carefully and placed it inside. I did not dare take too much. I was afraid they would think I was greedy.

To wash away the shame, she made this event even bigger than the first. Marissa spent a fortune booking the massive screens along the Harborfront and arranged a twenty-four-hour live broadcast. She turned Sophie's comeback operation into a citywide spectacle. Everyone in Harbor City knew about it. Countless people camped in the live-stream. Within half an hour, the online audience broke one million. On the eve of the match, Sophie came to me on purpose, looking sensible and sincere. "Adrian, the Foster family isn't my responsibility alone." She looked up at me, her tone full of honesty.

Julia The traffic picks up as we get further downtown, but it's still not long before Riley announces that we are home. Home, not his home, just home, and I am not sure what to make of it.

Austin The show is over and now it’s time to be an adult with responsibilities and all. Upon returning home, I make my way indoors and proceed to unpack my soiled laundry. As I set about the task of washing everything, my thoughts drift towards the 3D printer's whereabouts, which I've successfully traced and should receive on Tuesday. My next priority is to scour the area for potential canine companions. I'm anticipating Lane's arrival tomorrow, which would provide me with an opportunity to negotiate a mutually beneficial agreement.

Perhaps it was because this villa had never truly been her "home" When the housekeeper, Mila Dixon, saw Yuliana carrying out the last of her things, she grew worried and approached Yuliana to ask what was going on. Yuliana offered a faint smile. "Nothing major. We're just getting a divorce." Mila was shocked. "Does Mr. Zimmer agree to this?" Yuliana had no answer. Charlie hadn't even looked at the divorce papers yet, but she could tell that once he finally did, he would likely feel relieved—or even pleased.

No matter what, since heaven had given me a second chance at life, I absolutely could not allow the tragedy of my previous life to repeat itself. I returned to the bedroom and began ordering small home surveillance cameras online. In my previous life, when Megan first came to work in our home as a housekeeper, I had wanted to install cameras, but Daniel felt it would be disrespectful to someone living under our roof. Thinking back on it now, it was precisely because of our kindness that we had walked step by step into her trap.

At the very least, not now. Two days after I was discharged, Aiden finally came home. Chloe was sent to her grandmother's house. I was sitting alone at the dining table, eating a bowl of plain noodles. He walked in, took off his coat, changed his shoes, and glanced at me. His voice was indifferent as he said he was out of town for a conference the past two days. I kept my head down, focusing on my noodles, and didn't bother responding.
