He said, "Done, just get here." I pressed the unlock button on the right side of my elbow. "I'll pick you up?" Aryo might need a ride, I already miss him again even though we haven't separated yet. "Sir Levi, wait at home. I won't run away." He showed me one of the cards I'd given him in his wallet organizer and took a few rupiah bills from my pants pocket. He had memorized the location so well that it wasn't even awkward to hear me moan against his touch. Just smelling his breath, I could already get aroused.

Struggling to process the massive bombshell, Bianca gaped at me. "She's your older sister? You're the scion of the Wrights, the wealthiest family in the country?" Bianca's friends couldn't believe their ears. All of them immediately erupted. "You must've made a mistake! Jesse's your brother." "Say something, Jesse!

The old man folded his hands and said, "Forgive me Cardo, this will not happen again Kabir." Kabir said with a dangerous laugh, “You will never survive doing this again.” Kabir took out the gun from his waist band and pointed it at the man's head. The old man pleaded, "Please give me the cord." Kabir placed his hand on the trigger point of his gun and said, "You had signed your death wish when you thought of betraying me." Suddenly a gunshot is heard and the pleading man becomes silent forever. Aarohi suddenly stops breathing because she had never seen anything like this before.

How much did my wife once love me? The year we graduated from college, she spent two whole years trying to convince me to marry her. She proposed three times. The first time, I said no. The second time, I said no again. It wasn't until the third time that she gathered all our closest family and friends, then got down on one knee in front of everyone. She looked at me with a determination that left no room for hesitation. In the end, she won me over. On our wedding day, I gave her a small wooden box. Inside were exactly one hundred black metal tokens, neatly arranged in rows. I gave them a name. Second Chances. Whenever either of us did something that hurt our marriage or broke a promise, we

Across the East River, Manhattan's fireworks burst in the sky, distant laughter riding the wind. None of it meant a damn thing. My own heartbeat was pounding so hard against my ribs that it drowned out everything else, like someone was turning the world's volume down, notch by notch.

Under the dull streetlight, Gerald Cooper was leaning against the car door, finishing his last cigarette. He stomped it out and checked his phone for the tenth time in five minutes. Out of the ten times, nine were to reply to the nine voice notes from the same woman. The last message he sent was to my best friend, who also happened to be his sister, Elena Cooper.
