Hopes Peak Book Novels & Stories

"Are you alright? Would you like some fruit? I'll peel it for you." I was certain that I was dead, yet my vision cleared up at that moment. In fact, I even heard a melodic male voice booming right next to me. It was such a shame that the man wasn't directing the question at me at all. My vision sharpened once again. I found myself staring at a simplistic ward belonging to a makeshift hospital located at the base camp of the tallest mountain in the world. Gerard Frost, my husband, happened to be caressing his best friend, Olivia Hallburg's cheek with his fingers. Worry was written all over his face.

Bryan Sammie being here was exactly the comfort I didn't know I needed. It gave me hope that this alliance marriage could be turned around, and that maybe there was hope for my future after all. Josie had expressed that she wasn't ready to move past her grief, and I could respect that for her. I just prayed to the moon Goddess that when she finally decided that she was ready, she would want to move on with me, rather than anyone else. Sammie seemed confident that she would, which also gave me hope that we actually had a future together.

They went on to dance for famous companies that toured around the world. My heart aches with desire. I hadn’t let myself go there, and suddenly it all seems like… It’s there again. It’s a possibility. Hope is this dangerous thing. It’s quiet and warm and it stays locked away until we feed it, and then it bursts into flame. It can consume us. It will very well eat me alive.

I jumped out suddenly as I found the man's book-like journal and her voice at the same time. "Alright, dug in all of his communication platforms and history" "Copy that" I unfurl the book wide yet floundering to perform clasping the phone and the other on the pages. The book it was like his diary where he sets his satisfaction and further fantasy beyond more a dream but gruesome desires. It was unsettling while reading his strategies and reasons starting from beginning to end. "He has contact with Lydia Manskim in Callme" She responded at last and then I closed the book.

They both have beaming smiles on their faces and I soon feel my cheeks hurting from my own beaming smile and despite all the pain that I'm feeling right now I still manage to find some happiness at this moment and somehow I already know that I won't regret this. "You won't honey!" Holly chirps in my head in between her purrs and I'm glad she's happy she deserves it. "You do to Emily and don't you ever forget that!" I look between the twins and Emma and honestly I'm still in shock and still struggling to believe that this is really happening but there's a small part of me that's hopeful, hopeful for the future and hopeful that we can make this work.

being happy about each other's path. “1... 2... 3...Clear...” Being fine ... “Raise the voltage!” ...when you see them walk away from your life. But, me... “Her heartbeat is getting too slow.” ... I'll come with him... We'll end up together again. We'll be happy. He is waiting for me... My hope is not here... I am... Blair... and this is my own happy ending. “Ms. Blair Novak. Time of death May 4, 2020, 9:00 pm.”

she said, sneering. Then, in a low voice, she added, "But do you even have that kind of money?" I spun around angrily, wanting to leave, but my eyes landed on the clock on the wall—10:30 am. It was peak business hours. I could switch banks, but what if they took even longer? I bit my lip, swallowed my rage, and stepped aside to keep waiting. Out of the corner of my eye, I caught Judith smirking smugly. Another 40 minutes passed.

For the first time that night, he took off his earbud, smiling as he ruffled my hair. "Aleah, thanks for being so understanding. Things are different now. A marriage certificate doesn't mean much. We should stand our ground, not give in just because your grandpa wants us to get married. Besides, aren't we happy like this?" Layne's voice was gentle, but it cut through me like a blade. Two years ago, Ruby's parents were abducted and killed after saving the Harper family. Since then, she'd developed severe separation anxiety. That was when she quietly started becoming a constant presence in our lives.

"That's why I said it." Hope, who had apparently overheard more of this conversation than any of us had noticed, appeared from the hallway with the composed expression she wore when she'd been listening to something important and had formed a view. "The first book was about people choosing honesty," she said. "The second book should be about people who have no choice but honesty and the world that makes that choice cost too much." She went upstairs without waiting for a response, leaving the three of us in the kitchen with her summary of the project sitting in the air with the specific, clarifying quality of an accurate statement offered without embellishment.
