It Runs In The Family Book Novels & Stories

"We can never let Gina have the baby. I don't care if it kills her!" Mom, on the other hand, looked confident. "Relax. The doctor already told me that Gina's got leukemia from all the formaldehyde in our new house. Even the baby's deformed! It's not surviving. "Martha and Michael can finally rest assured this time. All the money we'd spent renovating this house with the crazy high formaldehyde levels wasn't wasted after all." It was only then that a cruel realization crushed me. No one, including my parents, wanted me to keep the baby. In fact, they all wanted it dead.

"A good wife brings prosperity to generations. A wicked one ruins an entire family. Choose wisely." As the night deepened, the family gathered to keep vigil beside the caskets. Kelly, unwelcome among them, shrank into a corner, her presence tolerated but barely acknowledged. I found her there later. "Zarrick's finished," I told her softly. "And when I leave him, I'll make sure he walks away with nothing. If you're willing to stay with him then, when he's broke and ruined, then maybe—just maybe—I'll believe your love is real."

“A family that should have become extinct.” *

We were just a product of wrong parenting, society's misfits. I sighed for the hundredth time that night. Ahead of us, I saw the three monsters talking to an elderly couple while taking measured looks in my direction. My heart clenched, I knew the old woman. She was part of the first family, Lucian was indeed right. My family was selling me as a bartering chip to gain more power and influence. Being friends with the Zorya and gaining the trust of the first family. My family is becoming more monstrous than they were already are.

Something churned within me and I knew something was wrong. My entire life I have been an estranged child and I have had to live through being shunned and scorned. My family; the Andolopus family, has been the most powerful family for a while now, running chains of business across the entire country. My father was a stoic man with zero interest in weakness or affection.

It was bound together with a string, and as Ralph roughly looked through it, he was sure that this book was what he was looking for, as there were pictures of strange fighting positions. Ralph had never learned any type of self-defense skill, so he did not understand the illustrations found in the book. There were also no words written in the book, and only a few words were sitting at the bottom of the last page. It read, “our family heirloom.” However, there was no clear indication that this family heirloom belonged to which family, as no surname was written.

It didn't take more than a couple hours for the rest of the town to know what had happened to the Carrigan's family. It wasn't nothing new, but it seemed that rumours flew like trees in a storm. Richard had heard people mumbling about the disappearance of his daughter, about how it had been a terrible accident and how it was hard for them to look at their son.

The magic that ran in my family. I closed my eyes and reached for it.

“That won’t happen. I know a family who has a precious item—a medical book. I heard that this book is very powerful, and there’s a possibility for us to find ways from the book.” Fane fell silent for a moment as he thought of something, a tight smile appearing on his face afterward. “Sadly, we’re in trouble because the Woods family has a bad relationship with this family, and we can be considered as enemies. The most crucial point is that they’re one of the eight reclusive families, and they’re very strong. They might not show us the medical book.” Ben felt that he was in trouble after he heard this.
