In Another Life Novels & Stories

"Lyra is usually so gentle. This new guy, Elan Crowe, isn't even in her team. They have no grudge, no conflict. Why would she do something like this?" Exactly. I almost wanted to scream in agreement. I barely even knew this new coworker, Elan. At most, we had nodded to each other a few times when we crossed paths in the pantry. More importantly, he was a man, and I had grown up never even swatting a male mosquito. There was no work conflict or emotional entanglement. So why was it that in every single life, another version of me appeared out of nowhere, determined to kill him? There was no reason for it.

That even on the days I wanted to give up, the story—and the characters—kept pulling me back. Thank you for walking this journey with me. Thank you for laughing with them, crying with them, and believing in them even when the odds were stacked against them. There will be a sequel — The Life of Jeffrey and Annitore. If you want to see Annitore the monster who gave up her immortality for the man she loves, who later fell in love with the version of her that he created, and also how Jeffrey's powers are harnessed, please leave a comment and let me know. Your words mean everything to a first-time author like me.

She tracked Mona and Sebastian for days, waited for the perfect moment, and then torched their house, killing them both. Tina didn't stay free long, though. She was arrested soon after. Watching the blurred images of Mona and Sebastian charred bodies on the news, I felt like a weight I'd been carrying for over a decade had finally lifted. Back then, I hadn't had any proof, no way to touch Mona or Sebastian. But after all these years, karma had come knocking. In a strange way, it felt like closure. After that, I set aside a chunk of my lottery winnings for retirement and donated the rest to different charities.

I had rehearsed this conversation a thousand times in my head, but now that it was here, the words felt like shards in my throat. “I’m not… who you think I am,” I began slowly. “Or rather, I am, but I’ve… lived this life before.” His brow furrowed, but he didn’t interrupt. “I died once,” I said, the words heavier than I expected. “And I was given… another chance. A rebirth. Same body. Same world. But a different path. That’s why I know things I shouldn’t. That’s why I make choices that don’t make sense to you.”

Apart from that, it felt like there was nothing else. Her phone buzzed incessantly. Feeling around for it, Bianca picked it up. "Hello?" "Bia!" On the other end was Natalie's voice. And suddenly, in the midst of her panic, Bianca felt a strange calmness. Cedric had said... Natalie came from another lifetime! Bianca couldn't believe it. But now, she hoped...! She hoped that she, too, could reach another lifetime in her final moments. She hoped she could go to a world without the Entes family.

“You always say that.” Sophia frowned. “What does that mean?” The double tilted her head. “It means I’ve watched you say it thousands of times.” Lucien stepped forward. “Who are you?” The other Sophia looked at him. “I’m the Sophia who never got him.” Lucien froze. The Life That Never Happened The other Sophia raised her hand. Reality changed. Everyone suddenly saw another world. In that world, Sophia stood alone. No Lucien. No Seraphina. No family. No Devil King.

-Ariana Grande * * * CALLIE "We have to get back to Canada." I announced. I was currently in Mateo's office. We were discussing some stuff about our new life. I cannot believe that I am saying 'new life' as if I had many lives. Well, when you think about it, I indeed had many lives. The one before Mateo, the one with Mateo, then one after Mateo, and finally, this one again with Mateo. You could say that my life is messed up. "No." He simply replied, leaving no space for question.

He covered his mouth while his eyes widened. "Oh my gosh." He said it as if he was about to lose his trance. That's not surprising because what will happen tomorrow is surprising. "My life is until tomorrow, but I want to save the Prince, I tried to look for a solution and I found there is another me living in a far galaxy. She will replace me." I will continue. "What? Another you?" This is a surprising question. It nodded. "Yes, there is another me, living on Earth. She is me. She is the one destined to marry the Prince. My destiny is to die tomorrow."

I had barely finished arranging all this when another subordinate sent me all the information he had found about Wilson. In my past life, I hated Wilson so much that I couldn't even bear to look at a photo of him. Now that I had gone back in time and gotten a second chance at life, I was a lot calmer. I became curious about just what sort of man he was that Sylvia, who had seen her fair share of men, was so obsessed with him. After I unzipped the compressed file, I played the video.

It hits me all at once. The hospital. The paralysis. Vance. Anya. The betrayal. The poison. My death. And him. Trying to save me. Too late. “I didn’t imagine it,” I say, my voice steady now. “I lived it.” He doesn’t interrupt. “I died,” I continue. “And somehow… I’ve been brought back.” Silence fills the room. Heavy. Final.
