Novel & Cerita Hopeless Pursuit

There were two famous deadweights in Kingsgate's high society. One was me, Millie Tanner, the pampered little princess whose only talents were shopping and throwing parties. The other was my childhood friend, Iver Langford, the fragile young heir born with autism and congenital heart failure. However, my older brother was the most feared name in the underworld, and my second brother was the richest man in the country. Iver's older sister was the undefeated queen of the courtroom, and his second sister was a surgeon whose hands could bring back the dead. One day, the four of them were chatting over a game of poker. "Raising one hopeless case takes the same effort as two. Might as well pair

He had made the same decision that Leslie made. “I was so close to the exit,” Isaac ground his teeth in frustration as he looked at the man standing before the exit, effectively blocking their means of escape. He had only been a meter away from the door and had been filled with the hope of freedom. He had never been so close to freedom like he had been this time, and hope had blossomed in his heart for the first time. Unfortunately, the greater the hope, the greater the despair that followed after failure. Now there was no way they would be able to get away. Taking a step back, Isaac appeared next to Leslie.

He slowly turned to me with a puzzled expression on his face. "What are you doing there? Are you spying on me?" he asked, catching me off guard. Our eyes met, and I felt a sudden jolt of nervousness. I quickly turned my back on him and hurried to the kitchen, covering my mouth with my hands. What's wrong with you, Delilah? Why are you still thinking about him and worrying about someone like him? He almost threw you away and seemed to have erased all the memories you shared from his mind. So what if something happened to him in that faraway place? He didn't even bother to send you a letter to check on you or update you on his whereabouts; instead, he ran away from the promises he made to you

An endless wave of emotions swirled within me. We kept going, hoping against hope that we would find her safe and sound. But as the sun slowly set and the night crept in, our fruitless search took its toll. We had searched everywhere: the nearby forest, the deserted shore, even the old, abandoned mine. Everywhere we went, there were no traces of her presence, her scent, her belongings. There was no sign of her. The burning anger in my chest turned to despair and hopelessness. I knew we had to keep going, but I was losing faith. I was clinging to a faint ray of hope that was slipping away with each passing minute.

His brain started spinning with the old, addictive thoughts. What if they broke up next week? What if I actually talked to him today? What if I still had a chance to be the one he chooses? What if... Those two words were a poison. He clung to them, imagining a future that didn't exist while ignoring the reality in front of him. He realized then that having too much hope didn't make you an optimist—it made you a victim. And as he watched Natalie disappear around the corner, Cass knew he was the most hopeless case in the entire pack.

She finally looked. He leaned against the doorway like he belonged there and didn’t care whether anyone agreed. Same gray eyes. Same unreadable expression. Same stillness that made movement feel like a decision instead of an instinct. “I don’t stare,” Hope said. A pause. Then, almost like he was testing the word in his mouth before deciding to believe it, “You track.” Her fingers tightened around the bottle. “That sounds dramatic.” “It sounds accurate.” Silence stretched between them. Not uncomfortable. Just loaded in a way neither of them had language for yet.

The two of us had lost all hope of ever finding a happy ending such a long time ago. When we agreed to be the Witch Queen's mate some of that hope returned, as we had both thought that maybe if we put in an effort this time, we could actually be happy. I wasn't so sure about that anymore though, but he disagreed. He still believes that we can help her, or more that we were chosen to help her through this dark period in her life. Unfortunately we can't do anything if she won't let us though, which is what I have to keep reminding him. Regardless, she was our problem now, so we just had to figure out a way to live with her.

I was sitting on the floor with my knees pulled up to my chest and hands around them, I leaned my head back against the door while agony and pain were increasing with every second. Why? Why me? I wanted to ask, every single day, I think that someday all this pain and suffering would come to an end, somewhere deep down inside me, I have this little piece of hope that someday it will. I don't know when and how but that hope is crushed by Arthur, I want to run away from all this, but I can't, I can't leave my dad to die. "Why?" I sobbed, asking no one in particular.

Hope's disappearance. With the wind whistling through the open windows and the road stretching ahead, we held onto the hope that Freda's vision would lead us to the answers we sought. The journey had begun, and the climax of our mission was within our reach. The vehicle's tires rolled over the uneven terrain as we followed Freda's lead, our anticipation growing with each passing moment. Eventually, we arrived at the outskirts of a small, eerie village, where the deserted chapel of St. Micah stood in solemn silence.

I sighed and we made it to the parking lot, a guy was about to enter his car, when one of the mask men knocked him out and shoved me to the front seat. I started to drive, I didn't want to die at the age of 25. I mean I had it all, money, my dream job. I was dating a nice girl who I was crazy about. And all was lost because I wanted to get money out so I could take my girlfriend on a trip to celebrate her birthday. My mother told me to wait for another day, I didn't listen to her. She said she had a funny feeling but I thought she was being paranoid. But like they always say, trust your guts. Deep down I knew I should've listened. But I wanted to surprise my girl.
