I Left My Family Novels & Stories

Isla I didn’t want to cause any trouble for Lucas with his family, so I asked for an excuse to step away. I only meant to clear my head, but I didn’t expect we wouldn’t return to the gathering at all. Now I couldn’t help but wonder what his parents or relatives thought about our sudden disappearance. “Thank you,” I said softly as Lucas drove. I wasn’t used to having someone defend me like that, and I truly appreciated both him and his friends for standing by me. “Are you sure it was okay for us to leave like that? Isn’t your family important to you?”

"I'm leaving, Adrian." The words felt heavy as they left my mouth, like stones sinking to the bottom of a lake. I hadn’t planned to say them—not this morning, not with him standing so close, watching me like he already knew something was wrong. But once the words were out, I couldn’t take them back. Adrian’s gaze lifted from the papers on his desk, eyes narrowing slightly as if he hadn’t heard me right. "You’re what?" I folded my arms, holding onto the only thing keeping me upright—pride. "I’m going to see my family. I just need a few days away, that’s all."

Liv said, blocking my way, "I won't let you go tonight. Listen, I have a plan. I have an old house in the Miami countryside. You can hole up there for a while. The place is so remote that I don't think the police will find you there. When I find a coyote who makes fake passports. . . " "Liv!" I interrupted. "This is my business. Please stay out of it. Remember, you haven't seen me today!" "Damn it!" Liv said angrily. "Do you have any idea how worried I was when I found out that you were missing? Do you have any idea that you're not only my friend, you're also my family?" The word family is like a long-lost dew sprinkled on my already dry heart. I do not know what the love of family is, becau

"Okay, so we had a mom and dad, unfortunately we're not from a normal family, out father was involved in Mafia -" "Oh please no, I can't do this... nope", I said standing up. They looked really confused. "I just left a very toxic Mafia family, I'm not moving into another one, nope", I said carrying my bag to leave. "Ivy, just sit down and listen to everything, then you make the decision, it'll get worse but just listen, please?", Lexy said. I sighed and nodded and sat down.

I screamed, overwhelmed by it all. “You lost your memories for a reason and the past is called the past for a reason, Riley!Remembering would break you,” Leah said with a note of finality. I wasn't deterred. I stared at her, letting her know my mind was still made up. “You should leave and don't bother coming for me. I'll go to the company on my own today.” I watched my only family push me away.

After the accident, I came home in clothes soaked with blood. Mom and Dad took one look at the bandages covering me and immediately asked what had happened. I clenched my fists and said, “Car accident. My phone’s emergency SOS automatically sent my location to my emergency contacts and tried calling them. Mom, you hung up. Dad, you never even checked the alert.” I thought they would apologize and promise that they would never ignore an emergency alert again. Instead, Mom frowned. “Why would you put down my number? You know I have a heart condition. What if I suddenly got an emergency alert like that and passed out from the shock?” Dad waved a hand dismissively. “My blood pressure is hi

I lied. My father’s voice cracked. “If you walk out that door, you walk out alone.” I looked at him—the man who taught me how to fight, how to read people, how to survive—and I said the one thing I knew would cut deepest. “Then maybe I was never really part of this family.” The silence that followed was worse than shouting. Worse than slamming doors. It was the sound of something breaking. I left that night with Liam waiting outside, smirking like he’d won. I thought I was choosing love. Freedom. A future.

I don’t look away from my mother and father, not stuttering once so they know I mean business. “I don’t know how I’ll curb this, and we might be going to jail for a fake marriage, but I want to make sure it doesn’t back fire on the family name, nothing is more important.” A deep breath, I blink through the tears. I’ve not taken anything from them in years, but at the very least I had a family. Maybe Court is all I need. “Izzy, don’t do this.” Freddy says urgently, he knows what it means to be abandoned by this family after all.

I have dated this man for years and not once has he mentioned his family. Only now after he disappeared, he tells me about them and I don’t even believe him because for all I know, he could have been with another woman and I am the fool he left here with a child to raise. “My family is not the kind I would want my son to be associated with Mia and when I left home for college, I vowed not to go back. I didn’t for a while and I even forgot they existed until they called.” He sighs then sits back down.

I asked. "I don't want you to end up like me Romina,look at me.. your dad left us for another family..I don't want such life for you.. that why I invited him. Please forgive me if I did the wrong thing"mom utterd and I whimpered letting my emotions out. "Mom we are leaving this country first thing tomorrow morning"I utterd starting the engine of the car. I can't afford to be seeing Carlos and Brian Everytime. I had to make a name for myself and that of my family.
