Ily Day Novels & Stories

When I was eight, a prank by my little sister, Alice, left silver poison eating away at my heart. To save me, my dad knelt at the Temple of the Moon Goddess for ninety-nine days. Only then did he win two moonstone pendants from the Goddess, enough to hold the poison at bay. After that, Alice became the family pariah. They stopped speaking to her. They wouldn't even let her smile. For my sake, my father traveled far and wide searching for a cure for the silver poison. My mom quit her work as a healer to care for me, because the moonstone pendants needed her at the Moon Temple every day to replenish their magic. I always believed the Moon Goddess watched over me, blessing me with the best fami

To help her childhood sweetheart, David Middleton, take my place studying abroad, my wife, Sharon Griffin, destroys my records and deliberately fills in false information, ensuring that I'm permanently denied a visa. She even severely injured my hands before sending me to the Behavioral Reform Center. My mother-in-law, Paula Brown, who has always treated me with affection, takes Sharon's side. "Kyle is so ungrateful. We gave him everything, and he still wanted to get a PhD abroad to find his biological parents. Who's going to take care of me if he's gone?" Sharon snorts. "He's just vain. When he found out I'd turned down Westbridge's offer of admission, he gave me the silent treatment an

He'd been here only a week but he'd blended in so well with my best friend. “Anyway,” Hannah turned to me. “You do remember what today is?” “What is today?” “It’s D-Day cuz,” Edi frowned, shaking his head. “I'm disappointed.” I groaned. “Why don't you two let it go? It's dangerous!” “It is not if everything goes according to plan,” Edi quipped, getting up and straightening his jacket. Hannah grabbed her car keys and the tiny pen camera recorder she'd gotten a day ago. “Let's go!”

My eyes stared at the sky, mentally thanking the sun for making an appearance today. My warm, sunny thoughts are interrupted by my phone vibrating. I reach my arm behind me on the nightstand and grab my phone, still ringing. I rub my eyes as I answer the phone. "Hello, good morning," I said softly. "Good morning sunshine. Do you know what today is?" Elijah’s rough voice flows through the phone as I smile at the nickname, it was my favorite out of the few he had for me.

I needed the good times to help me get past the days like today, when the world weighed down on my shoulders. It was a beautiful day, which hopefully meant good things were coming our way. The late April day was not filled with showers, but rather a crystal clear blue sky and bright sun. Even the temperature was perfect for the day—sixty-five degrees. “We just have to get through this, and it’s done. Over,” Lila said to herself in the mirror as she did her makeup. I wanted to say something, anything to reassure her, but at the moment everything failed me. We were both wound tight. The last few months had been a constant up and down, and we both desperately needed Adam to be gone and our live

On Christmas Day, my parents decided to add my sister Chloe's name to the family trust. As the lawyer prepared the documents, he glanced at me. "And this young lady? Should she be included as well?" My mother waved a hand dismissively. "No need. She's just a foster child." Ever since Chloe was brought back home, I—their biological daughter—had become the outsider. All because Chloe insisted she was the only daughter in the family. If anyone so much as mentioned that I was blood-related, she'd have a PTSD episode—screaming, crying, the whole breakdown. Eventually, everyone just accepted it: "The Haper family only has one real daughter. The other one's a foster kid." At first, I tried to

she scoffed. “Our Victor is successful and handsome. Of course young girls like him.” “And if you really divorce him,” she added smugly, “he’ll have no trouble finding someone younger and prettier than you.” “You, on the other hand—a divorced older woman—will struggle to remarry!” As she spoke, she shoved the phone toward Lily. “Lily, would you like a new daddy?” “I don’t want one!” Lily screamed. “I don’t want a new daddy!” Listening to the Ricci family’s self-directed performance, I found it oddly entertaining.

When he heard that my skin hurt unbearably, he arranged for someone to deliver a medical spray that would soothe the burns. Not long after I hung up, I saw a video Bianca had posted on social media. She had deliberately tagged me in the comments section. In the video, she and my brothers were on vacation at Belville Resort. They were throwing a pool party. Wearing the flashy diamond earrings, Bianca stood in the center as everyone surrounded her. For the post, she had written, "From now on, this will be the vacation home for our famiglia of four. My brothers love me so much. I'm truly the happiest woman in the world."

Panic clung to me, a ghostly shroud, as I snapped my eyes open, lungs clawing for breath. Where was I? Some afterlife courtroom? Did I die? "Is he done throwing his fit? Doesn't he know what today is? I'm not about to leave my husband to chase after him!" The crash of the phone hitting the table yanked my gaze in its direction. There she was, Shirley Lowell, panting in her bridal gown. My thoughts raced, and a staggering realization hit me like a bolt of lightning.
