It Starts With Us Kindle Novels & Stories

But anxiety, curiosity, and a searing need to know drove me there. The first two drawers of the cabinet were filled with ledgers and old financial records. I was ready to quit when I saw a black notebook behind a stack of files. It had an old leather cover, curled edges, and a cracked spine as if it had been held tightly too many times. I opened it. The handwriting was unmistakably Elias's. It started out looking like a logbook. There were coordinates, and shipment manifests. But halfway in, the entries… changed. It became personal. Some names were crossed out and there were abstract references to fires as well as a handwritten note in the margin that read:

"It's very windy here. Be careful, or you might catch a cold." Behind her, a tall, handsome man in a white tracksuit draped a blanket over her shoulders. Emma turned around. Seeing that it was Zachary Hamilton, her lips curved into a faint smile. "Thank you." As they stood side by side at the railing, Zachary asked, "Your first work has been published successfully. How does it feel?" Emma thought for a moment, then answered, "Like a dream." It had been some time since she left Mordina, her home country.

*Janice Pov* “Good morning, Ms.Janice.” I heard someone saying like everyday from the past few days and I looked up from my cup of coffee and a piece of chocolate cake. “Good morning, Mr.Adithya.” I said and gestured for him to sit in the chair in front of me. “Cake in the morning time?” he asked, looking at the plate. “When the parents start giving some serious pressure every day, then we need something like this before starting the day.” I replied.

No one spares a glance at the two women kneeling in their spots. "How did you know I'm here?" Kiera asks while they walk between the path the crowd gave them. "When there's trouble, there is Kiera Azure" Chuckling, Lia winks while Kiera shares the amusement. "Amelia Stepanov-Wright, great to meet you at last, Kiera Azure" Stopping on her track, she turned to offer her hand to Kiera. "Kiera Azure Di Lauro-Wright, same here Dr. Lia Wright. At last, I met the famous philanthropist" clasping her hand to Lia, they shared a handshake.

⚜ Sold. ⚜ I wished for a miracle to happen. I had always hidden the sorrows I felt in studying and now, not even a book could help me at the moment. The bidding started and like we were told earlier by Sarah, Pablo introduced the first lady, Vanessa, who then stepped forward from the rest of us as Pablo continued advertising her. He began audibly. "This pretty brunette is Vanessa. She's very fragile but has a lot to offer. With her big butt, I bet no refund. Let the game begin..."

I told him sharply, and he smiled. The attendees gave us popcorn and ice creams and the room darkened the more as it was time for the movie to start. I came to realize that the title of the movie was, 'The Notebook' I've heard a lot about the movie on the internet and haven't had the time to watch the movie since I was so devoted to my K-dramas. I took a spoonful of the strawberry and vanilla mixed ice cream into my mouth and didn't realize when I had leaned closer to Kayden and rested my shoulder on him.

I should be grateful. And in fact I am. I am really grateful for his help. I went to my room and grabbed my current read - Six of crows, I am definitely a simp for Inej and Nina. This is the only distraction I have. After escaping Adriano, when I am left alone with my thoughts I sometimes overthink and from the last month I have started to get anxiety attacks. Thanks to Adriano, my mental health is fucked. I started reading the book and don't even remember when I fell asleep.

"When I first came to Farning Abbey, many different forces tried to recruit me. I grew annoyed, so I refused to see anyone." "So, that's how it is…" Selene hesitated. She wasn't sure how to begin. Judging from Iris' demeanor, she clearly preferred to live a quiet life. Iris took a sip of her drink and said, "From your expression, I think you have a favor to ask of me. No need to tell me what it is. I've liked you since you were little. I gave you the pendant purely out of my fondness for you. Still, I can't blindly agree. I need to know your ability."

“Miss Griffin, that’s a lot of calls. Do you want me to wait while you reply to them?” “No need. They’re nothing important,” I replied casually, my tone indifferent. Once we were on the road, he asked, “Miss Griffin, is this your first time here? Do you want to go anywhere before work starts? You don’t officially begin until the day after tomorrow. I can show you around.” “Yes, this is my first time here,” I said as I gazed out the window at the passing scenery. Suddenly, my phone rang again, the sharp sound filling the quiet car.

Dea, who was lying on the bed, suddenly felt the urge to turn on her phone, which was previously turned off. For some reason, something was bothering her. The flat device, once lifeless, was now brought back to life by the woman. She gazed at the screen with an expressionless face, assuming there was nothing there. However, her assumption was wrong. There were several messages and calls from an unfamiliar number. Yet, Dea knew it was Mr. Bad. She immediately started reading the messages.
