Left Behind Novels & Stories

During the months after I left, I had long since gotten used to life without Adrian. I had carried this suitcase up and down on my own the whole time. I truly did not need anyone's help. Adrian waited downstairs alone. Before going out, I specially told my parents, "I'll be back soon and eat dinner with you." When I went downstairs and walked outside, Adrian followed silently behind me. Our small town didn't even have an airport, so naturally there were no upscale cafes either. We found a small nearby park with few people. I found a quiet corner and turned to look at him.

Freya After surviving the cruelest truth,I was ready to leave everything behind. "I'm resigning." The words left my mouth before I could think twice. I sat by the window of my penthouse,watching the city lights blur into the night. For three years,this place had been called home,but right now it felt like a stranger's cage.

I agreed to leave the firm with Adrian Cross, my childhood friend, after he claimed he was being bullied out of his job. But the day before we were supposed to resign, he changed his mind for Mia Foster, a new intern. One of his colleagues laughed. “Impressive. You pretended to be bullied at work for months just to trick Evelyn into leaving.” “But you two grew up together. You’re really going to send her to a new firm alone?” Adrian rolled the bourbon around his glass. “She’ll still be working in the same city. How far away can she possibly go?” “Besides, isn’t she always saying she’s independent and the department can’t function without her? This works out perfectly.” I stood outside the o

For eight years, I'd managed the career of my boyfriend, Aiden White, a famous celebrity. I was also a partner at Veyra Media and the one pulling the strings behind his career. But on our anniversary trip, Aiden and one of the company's top influencers left me behind at a hotel near a volcano. They drove for forty minutes before they even realized I wasn't with them. When Aiden finally answered my call, he sounded more annoyed than concerned. "Scarlett, why didn't you get in the car? We need to hike to the crater by five, or we'll miss the blue flames! We're already almost there. I can't turn around and drive all the way back for you!" "Scarlett can find a ride and meet us here," Karina said

I've had one fatal flaw my whole life. I can't find my way anywhere. Not just bad with directions. The second I leave somewhere familiar, I can't tell north from south. I could walk through an intersection, turn around, and be completely lost. My best friend Irene, my brother Victor, and my fiancé Alex decided this needed fixing. They called it "survival training." They'd swap out my driver at underground auctions. Disappear while I was checking cargo at the docks. Leave me stranded in places I'd never been, then tell me with straight faces it was all for my own good. I got used to it. But today, they went too far. I stepped into the restroom for a few minutes. When I came back, the private

On the back of the photo, a line of faded ink written in pen remained. "Mylo, the truth was, I always wanted to win against you because that was the only way you’d remember me forever." In front of the gravestone, two shadows intertwined under the setting sun, as if they had finally reached a reconciliation. The sounds of the battle between Mylo and Vera were gone from the world. All that remained was the endless sound of the waves on that beach.

He didn't even grab it. The door slammed shut with a heavy thud. See? This is the problem. She will always be the one he drops everything for. And I will always be the one left behind.

But she remained beyond my reach, her spirit forever severed from the world of the living. My men stood behind me, their silent presence a testament to the gravity of the moment. I turned to them, my voice hoarse with emotion. "Leave us," I commanded, my words a solemn decree that brooked no argument. They nodded in understanding, their expressions a mirror of the grief that weighed heavy upon my soul.

"Mila, marrying you is the luckiest thing that's ever happened to me." I grinned, pinching his cheek. "Then you better cherish me." He bent down and kissed my forehead. "Always." Rain pattered on the umbrella, and our lives were getting better. Cade and Caitlyn became distant memories, gone from our world forever.

All I heard was the muffled sounds of her crying. I listened quietly. When the airport announcement prompted passengers to board, I hung up on her. Then, I went to my contacts, where I blocked and deleted the number. With that, I grabbed my luggage and went to board the plane. Soon, the plane took off and broke through the clouds. When I watched the city fading into the distance into a tiny dot, I felt a wave of peace wash over me. (The End)
