I was the apple of my parents’ eyes and the beloved little sister my two older brothers had always protected. On the day of my coming-of-age ceremony, I was struck unconscious by a falling beam while trying to protect them. When I opened my eyes, Suzy Lane, a system agent, had already taken control of my body. At first, my parents and brothers desperately tried to drive this “invader” out. That changed when Suzy, her eyes red from crying, told them, “I don’t want to cling to you either, but… Nora Hart can only return if your love for me reaches a perfect score!” Everyone then began forcing themselves to treat her like family.

His response stopped me in my tracks, my hand frozen in midair just as I was about to throw caution to the wind. I froze, suddenly at a loss, no longer understanding what exactly I was trying to do.

Amy has gotten worse over the months, but these past few weeks have just been something else. "It's ok not to be strong all of the time, Christian. It's ok to talk, to feel and to lean on others when you need to. It's ok to let go of the past and create a new future." I keep looking at the floor while mulling over my next words. My mother is a smart cookie and doesn't miss much, she's also insanely good at reading between the lines, which while being a bonus most of the time, It can make hiding things from her almost impossible at times.

The paper slipped from his fingers and scattered across the floor. The contract clearly stated: Zoey had been given 99 chances. If he chose her even once, she’d be allowed to stay and marry him. If not—she’d be forced to leave the country and never return. And he… He had chosen Claire. Every. Single. Time. He had ignored Zoey. Let her get hurt. Rejected her. Again and again. What the hell had he done? Adrian leaned against the wall, stunned, unable to breathe. Linda finally spoke.

“I’m so tired of being strong.” ​He held me tighter. “I know,” he said, his voice a low, comforting rumble. “You don’t have to be strong all the time. You can let go.” ​ And so I did. I let go of the anger, the frustration, the fear, and the rage. I let go of the need to be in control. I had to. There was no other choice.

She would never forgive him. And he understood that the moment he made her donate a kidney to the woman he once loved, whatever they had was finished. So this time, Seth didn't fight. He knew now—he wasn't worthy of her anymore. Eyes dull, he pulled out his phone and called the base. "Cancel my leave," he said. "I don't need it anymore." There was nothing left for him here.
