I Walk Alone Novels & Stories

But I had since learned lifelong lessons: ‌self-love is always a top priority‌; ‌not everyone is worth waiting for‌; and ‌no one is irreplaceable‌. I turned around and walked downhill. After a few steps, the wind carried Liam’s voice to me, like a snowflake falling on the ground. “Sophia, take care of yourself.” I didn’t look back. Ahead of me stretched a long mountain path. Each step was heavy, the snow falling thickly, as if the world pressed down on me. Yet I knew spring was not far, just beyond the ridge.

Why would this man want to go alone with me? has he figured out my plan and wants to take care of me before my mom finds out?” Eva wondered, feeling a bit scared “You don’t have to, we are already outside” Eva declined politely. “Nonsense, I already said I will, so I will, let’s go” Eva tried to refuse but he was persistent and just like that, they both walked back into the mall. Eva looked left and right in case of any suspicious man in a mask or at least anything that seemed suspicious.

I quickly get out of the car and start to vomit out all the little of breakfast I had in the morning. "Are you mad?" I shout at him. "Did you know just now?" he says as he drives his car away from me leaving me alone over there. What the hell? Why did he leave me alone over here? I don't even know where in the hell is this place? I know it's better to walk alone rather than walking with him but I don't know the way at all. "You came alone. You have to go alone and you have to search your way alone. You aren't giving up, Zara. You sure can't give up. Two billion dollars," I say to myself as I walk through the pavements in between the forest.

Standing up, I left my feelings behind. "I want Sierra dead," I ordered, "whatever it takes."

As I'm staring at the wall I hear the door open. I can't bring myself to see who walked in. Being alone is my new life now. I don't want my hopes up when someone comes to drag me out of the room, only to be left alone in the end. The door closes with a loud click and feet make their way towards me. I close my eyes in an attempt to stop the temptation of looking to see who's here. Please just leave me alone.

Big King I didn't have a place in mind when I began walkin', and I just didn't want us to get lost in ourselves. If we stayed indoors, I know she would try and fuck me again, and then this entire mini break would be spent in bed. Which, I don't mind, except for back at the club. We don't get moments like this. Alone, the freedom to just leave and walk 'round. She's walkin' ahead of me and talkin' away. I'm listenin', but my eyes are more focused on her ass right now. The way it moves as she takes a step. How that movement changes, when she takes a larger step up the hill.

Limping all the way home was agonizing. When I finally stepped inside, the lights were already on. The moment I pushed the door open, a pillow flew past me, crashing onto the floor beside my right foot. I looked up. Shawn’s expression was dark with anger. "Imelda, you’re getting more ridiculous by the day!" I calmly picked up the pillow, my face emotionless. "Yet you managed to get home just fine without me driving, didn’t you?" "Do you have any idea how embarrassing that was for me?!" Shawn took a deep breath, his chest heaving. "A CEO… without a dedicated chauffeur?"

My heartbeat quickened I was alone!

They bathed together, ate together, and went shopping together, just like what a couple deeply in love would do. I didn't make a scene as I simply watched them show off their affection in silence. With five more days left in the divorce's waiting period, Julian suddenly suggested climbing a snow-covered mountain. He insisted that I come, too. Halfway up, Evelyn had left to get something, leaving Julian and me alone. The gentleness on his face vanished at once, replaced by a cold stare. "Why are you still hanging around here? Do you really think Evelyn will fall for you eventually?"

Do you like the idea of being fucked senseless by a pack of wolves who’d buy you like livestock if they could? The mirror didn’t answer and neither did Ivy for a heartbeat. Then she whispered, small and wounded, "I just… don’t want you to be alone if they don’t come back." I let out a short, ugly, the sound that sounded like a cackle or laughter “Alone?” I hissed, dragging the zipper the rest of the way up. It caught again on a fresh welt. I yanked harder. Pain bloomed bright across my ribs. Good. Pain I understood. “Tesoro, I’ve been alone since the day my dad died. Alone is my default setting. Alone is safe. Alone means no one gets to break me except me.”
