I Bid You Adieu Novels & Stories

Hadrian's trembling hand tapped the play button. My voice filled the small room, "Hadrian, I'm dying. No matter what, thank you for once loving me. But if there's a next life… Let's not meet again."

he whispered, his voice trembling with emotion. Mariah, her heart breaking but her love unwavering, replied, "I love you too, Adam, always. Promise me you'll come back to me once everything's over." "I promise," Adam replied knowing very well that they might not be able to see each other again, that he won't be alive to see his love's face again, to see Mariah again. It was a goodbye that echoed with the weight of their love, a moment they would carry with them as they embarked on separate paths. With one last lingering look, Mariah turned and followed Pete out the door, leaving Adam standing on the staircase, his heart heavy but his resolve unbroken.

"I'm sure about it, Chino. My time has come to retire. You're alone again to fantasize about yummy abs at the club." I regretted saying it then looked at Vida who was sitting on the floor like me. I called them to say goodbye properly. Chino was also in his apartment so I told him to stay here. I want to personally say goodbye to the man who made my time at La Vida fun and tolerable. I had already packed up my bags ready to leave. My suitcases are already in the trunk of my old car. I really just went here to say goodbye. "Or maybe Adam's descendants won't even look at me anymore. We know they're just trying to pay attention to me because of you."

— Mia's POV The bidding bar was a cacophony of voices, each one louder than the last. Men, young and old, raised their bids, their eyes ravenous. The numbers climbed higher and higher, each one a testament to the desperation of my situation. In the sea of faces, one stood out - an elderly man with a predatory smile. Every time his hand raised, my heart sank a little deeper. I couldn't bear the thought of leaving with him. I closed my eyes, whispering a silent prayer to anyone who was listening.

Just be prepared. Sade: I am. Then the words that made his chest tighten... Sade: Love you. See you soon. His thumb hovered over the screen for a second before he typed back, "Okay, bye." It wasn’t that he didn’t want to say it back. He felt it, deep in his bones. But tonight, he would show her instead of just saying it. The Uber Black pulled up outside her home, and Adamo stepped out before the driver could even think to open the door for him.

“He told me he’s contacted you. If there’s nothing else, please leave me alone.” “Autumn, you–” Felix seemed like he still had something to say. Unfortunately, my decision was already made, and I ended the call.

I would’ve lost my balance had he not wrapped his arm around my back and steadied me. “Like I said, she’s mine,” he says in a gruff voice as if he was counting each word and talking to a 5-year-old. His arm slithers down my back, caressing me softly and I stiffen. “And you don’t look like you can go higher than $1,000,000,” he sniggers. Mr Maguire chuckles and peers at the dude, awaiting his response. But he doesn’t say a word, he stares at Mr Grim in anger and he can’t beat the $1,000,000 bid.

Laughters echoed throughout the room and I glared at them even though I could barely see anything. “She’ll definitely keep you entertained.” The voice chuckled. Bids began trickling from the audience behind the sharp light. I squinted harder, staring at the people seeing me as nothing more than merchandise. They made me sick and my mind quickly came up with ten different ways to murder whoever won this bidding. Gradually, the prices began to soar, leaving only two people in the bidding war. One of them looked like a toad, and the other was a burly man in an all-black suit. He radiated a cold and dangerous aura and he looked like a mafia boss.

I replied. We boarded the plane and took off to Ibiza, looking out the window I could not stop thinking about Tristan "I love you I hope you forgive me for running away, but it is the best thing to do, be happy, goodbye, Tristan" I said as I said goodbye to him in my mind, I closed my eyes and thought of his smile in his eyes in the first time I felt his lips, in the first time I was his, in the beautiful moments we lived together and that I will never forget. "I hope you can understand me, I wish you the best, my love, I love you," I thought as I said goodbye to this city that had given me so much joy and sadness.

"You call something this fancy a meal between friends?" Liam gave me the flowers and answered vaguely, "I haven't been romantically involved for all these years." I blinked at him dumbly. We'd known each other for years. So, I knew what he was implying right after hearing that statement. Sadly… I turned to look at the starry sky beyond the window and slowly shook my head. "I'm sorry. I prefer to fly solo." The city lights seemed to stretch on endlessly, and I knew that my future would shine brighter than the night sky tonight.
