L In A Heart Novels & Stories

a bitter tear rolled down his eyes, his gaze overwhelmed with the rhythm of his heart, the heart of a man in love. Lilia laid still and stared at him, her heart moved as she saw the tear that rolled down his eyes. For a moment, she forgot the pain she was passing through, her heart fluttered and all she could see was the soul of a man who changed her life, a man she just experienced his life centuries ago.

how on earth could her heart tolerate delivering a single microsecond of disappointment to their brand? The warning whistles are violently echoing across the pit lane, signaling that the advanced racing machines for the absolute final knockout heat must lock onto the starting grid immediately. Lulu is strapping on her helmet, her long fingers trembling against the visor as she climbs into her cockpit, her entire soul burning with a desperate hunger to protect the honor of the teammates who promised to strip on camera alongside her.

My heart skipped a beat, my tears moist right then. I dropped to a crouch and held him, pressing my ear against his chest again. I could hear his heartbeat, thumping powerfully through his thin shirt. It was such a familiar sensation. It was Stan's heartbeat. As I closed my eyes, my tears flowed ever so quietly. We stayed like that for a while, and as I wiped my tears, I held Nathan firmly in my arms once more. "Please live a good life with Stan's heart." - Nathan walked with me to the gates of the orphanage, but I never once turned to look at him again.

Liam said as he gently stands up from his seat and left her apartment without looking back. ★★ Delis was still sitting at the garden while waiting for Liam. Although the day is dark, the street lights are shining. The light in people's house are shining as well and then one special beautiful light. That was fixed on the middle of the garden was shining very bright. And that's what was giving the whole garden light. So Delis was staring at it while waiting for Liam to come. It wasn't up to a minute when Liam stepped in and sat besides him. "Hey bro, when dud she say that I should meet her?"

The shadows rippled like living smoke. They pressed gently against the shimmering silver barrier surrounding Charlotte, James, Darrien, and Lily. Not striking. Searching. Testing. Charlotte instinctively tightened her grip on Lily’s hand. The little girl looked surprisingly calm. “They’ve never found it before.” Charlotte glanced down. “What do you mean?” Lily never took her eyes off Evelyn. “They’re trying to find the Heart.” ⸻ Evelyn smiled. “She’s a clever child.”

But the whole time, she was all he could see. I had trusted the institute's lies in my last life and delivered my sister into their hands, only to watch her die in agony. In the end, Victor had died for me. When his eyes met mine now, all I saw was hatred. "Anya is your sister. Do you even realize what you're doing? I've never met a woman in this world as vicious as you! Do you even have a heart?!" He had always been so gentle, yet the words he threw at me cut like knives.

He held me close, his chest warm against my cheek, as he carried me out of the dungeon. He kept on walking, door after door to a luxurious room, it was the best I’d ever seen in my entire life. He took me to the bed, and he laid me down gently. My mind laughed at the silly dream I must have fell into. He stood over me, his eyes scrutinizing my body, but despite the intensity of his stare, I couldn't bring myself to meet his eyes. I felt a flutter in my chest, a shyness that i couldn't explain, as I lay there, my face averted, and my heart pounding in my chest.

“Yeah. I think so.” Walking out of his building into the late afternoon sun, Lila pressed a hand to her chest. Her heart—something she’d almost forgotten she hadwas beating really fast. This wasn’t how it was supposed to go.

“It is already doing it.” Silence. She stared at the screen. Then whispered, “So what name does it give us.” That question changed the room again. Even the system seemed to pause. Then the text updated. Slowly. Deliberately. COHERENCE ENTITY DESIGNATION: “A-01/A-02 INTERLOCKED HEART STATE” Silence. Anna blinked slowly. “…interlocked heart state.” Adrian read it silently again. Then said quietly, “That is not standard nomenclature.”

I tell her I will be done soon. I dry my hands. I walk into the OR. The team is ready. The lights are bright. Lily is on the table, her chest open, her heart exposed. It is small, no larger than my fist, but it is fighting. The left ventricle strains, the walls thick, the rhythm uneven. I look at the narrowing. It is worse than the scans showed. The aorta is pinched to a thread. The blood struggles to pass. The heart is working twice as hard as it should.
