If He Had Been With Me Book Novels & Stories

“To have a baby? Really, Nancy? Please, don’t be such a stupid woman! Even if you declare to be carrying my baby, I wouldn’t care! A baby, a family, being the father of God knows how many babies I wouldn’t care for, there’s nothing in this world that makes me stay with one woman, understand that, Nancy, before ruining your… perfect body.” The hand that had been placed on the doorknob fell, taking its position beside the silhouette of Amber. The tears started running down her cheeks, her heart had been torn apart as never. She had heard him well. There was nothing in this world that would make him change his mind. He loved to live that kind of life of being of no one at the same time he was o

I whispered. He lifted his head and looked at me. I saw hope in his eyes. Hope that I’d be alright with all of this. Hope that I’d still want to be with him, and I did. I wanted to be with him. I needed to be with him because just like him, I didn’t feel whole without him; I didn’t feel like myself. I pulled him over to the bed and sat down beside him.

It still hurt to think about what had happened, what I had lost, but I knew that with him by my side, I would get over it, I could get better because he shared that pain with me, he was as bad as I was. Only with him had I been able to feel better, only with him had I felt good again, and I wanted to feel good with him. I sighed, put the key in the lock, turned around, and opened the door. I entered the house and put the keys in the basket next to the door with a sigh, and then I turned around. I froze. My breath was missed as I saw what was in front of me.

Chapter 26 Hadley “I don’t want to be alone.” The words shocked me, it was the truth, I was scared and being alone right now made the fear in me grow. But then why would I ask him to stay? Was it because Zylith was not here, or is some part of my unconscious mind pulling me to him. He has proved my saviour in the past and again today, but did I maybe want more. Maybe I wanted to explore an aspect of life I had been avoiding.

He may have spent very little time training me or helping me, but he had played a large part in it all. If it hadn’t been for him and his need for a contract, I don’t know if I would be where I am today. I unquestionably don’t think I would have been able to face Chad the way I had. He helped me when I needed it, now maybe I can do the same for him. “Okay.” I consented, not knowing what else to say. Before he had a chance to add anything else, I left the office. Now that he was going to be staying with me, I wanted to take some time to myself. After we had come back home, I had gone straight to the shower to wash the blood off me.

"That's my favorite, I left it at home ... I'm thinking to buy another one, just in case." He laughed, "Just in case of what? But that's a good strategy though, always have a backup ... I want to read this ... I guess I've found the culprit, this was exactly where I met Kelsey the first time, she was buying books for you, wasn't she?" he looked straight into her eyes. She shrugged with a smile, "Guilty." "So ... if you had come with her that summer, I would've bumped into you instead of her?" he wondered.

What if he hurts you again? But then I looked at him—the way he watched me, the way he never pushed when I hesitated—and I knew. I wasn’t facing those fears alone anymore. I reached across the table, letting my fingers brush against his. “I think that can be arranged.” His smile was slow, real. “Yeah?” I nodded. “Yeah.” *** We spent the afternoon at the bookstore down the street, because of course Alessio had to prove that he could, in fact, pick a better novel than I could.

It was just not reserved for me. It was still crazy that he had yet to acknowledge me even once. Kylan wasn’t there yet, neither was Nate who was attached to his hip. I still had no idea how I would survived my first day after everything that had happened between us. Through the window, I caught a man heading to my direction, carrying a book in his hand. He was handsome, with thick dark curls, and dark eyes. His training gear fit him perfectly, showing off his toned body, and his smile was friendly.

He had practically blended in with the darkness. I quickly put the book behind my back, guilt boldly written on my face. It must have been a really awkward move because his eyes followed my movement in sync. “So… what are you up to this time?” He motioned at the book behind me. It would be foolish to lie. He already saw everything.

It seemed like he had been caught doing something he wasn't supposed to. With a mischievous grin, I extended my hand toward the book and leisurely nudged it downward, gradually unveiling his eyes. At that moment, he appeared both bashful and captivating to me. His hazel eyes locked onto mine, and I couldn't deny the fondness I felt for his presence. It was as if he had the power to make me forget the reason I was there, to immerse myself in sorrowful thrillers and comic books that my mother typically enjoyed. Instead, I had opted for a different path, selecting a romance novel, coincidentally mirroring his choice. I must clarify that my intention was not to impress him, but somehow, that's e
