"Just look at me. I had to work as a professor for several years before I realized that I didn't like being locked up in the ivory tower of academia and wanted to experience the world. "You're still so young. It's normal to be confused. But as long as you're willing to pluck up your courage and take that first step forward, I believe that you'll be able to find your purpose in life." Gabriella felt at ease after hearing Sybil's words, knowing that the latter was living proof of her own advice. Sybil slowed the car to a stop in front of an apartment and led Gabriella to her unit. The apartment had two bedrooms and a living room. It faced the south and had plenty of sunlight streaming through

Now I can control it when and where I want Khaalida to appear but when I give her control I can do stuff I never thought I could do. I made a vowe to myself to never fall in love again because it is only a weakness in our world and the craziest thing is I fell in love with the King of the underworld and the mafia boss of the Italian mafia. What I didn't know was that everything I thought I knew my whole life, was a lie. My whole life was a lie.

Lily could feel the raw pain in her heart as she spoke, and she shuddered at it. She would never be able to grasp the life of the wealthy and powerful. The more she thought she knew, the deeper the whole thing went. When she worked at the wine shop and just lived a simple life, she did not know that such a life existed. She had no idea that people lived in the same city with her, but in an entirely different world. Anyone outside their lives would have thought that it only ended in the exotic cars, big mansions, luxurious lifestyle, elite parties, and smiles, but being in it now, Lily had come to the realization that nothing was as it seemed on the surface with these wealthy, famous, powerfu

I enter in my room. The ambiance is very nice that I could relax. I lay down on my bed and closed my eyes. What am I doing with my life? All I thought that once I step inside that mansion, my life would be as high as my dream. But why does it feels like I am falling? My dream is falling badly. Can anyone tell me how can I accept that if I am already at the top and did many things just to stay at that? I could not imagine them spitting judgement on my whole life. I have many enemies inside the campus. I will be very doomed once they found out that I am not really as rich as they think. And just because I risk everything to step inside their world, I am now on the risk of losing my life too. I

“It’s much easier living on the surface than it is there, so I can’t imagine they’d have to worry about overpopulation from those sent to the surface wanting to go back.” He stopped short. “Now, that surprises me. I’d think just the opposite.” “Because of the zombies and aliens?” she asked. “Yes,” he said. “First of all, the hologram protects us from both the zombies and the aliens for the most part,” she offered. “They don’t possess the rigid lifestyle and strict rules on the surface. Center Land is where the training of the children is done.” She shrugged as she initiated resuming walking. “Children need structure and discipline more than adults. By the time we are sent to the surfa

She looked like she wished she had been there to see it. "All the higher up people that made the laws and kept the world going were dead. The next few months after that were chaos. People were running around, not knowing what to do. There were 10 billion people before the virus, but now only 6 billion left. Out of that 6 billion,2 billion were vampires. You would think with 4 billion people, we could have banded together. The king and queen made the country of Asia there home. They gave the rest of the world an option. Join us, or be our food. Out of that 4 billion, 3 billion joined the vampires. You would think that meant the war was over..." She now started to lather my purple hair. She lo

“What I meant was, is there a way to reach Foundation Establishment without doing what Carol did?” “Sister, does this really work? Increasing one’s lifespan by a hundred years and staying young forever sounds absurd. Do bizarre things like this really exist in the world? Could he… Could he be a fraud?” Natalie Rockefeller asked. Carol Rockefeller snorted coldly. “This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is right in front of you. Do you still not know how to cherish it? Seamus is a god-like person. This is our great luck! Fine, I’ll show you something.”

"Some elite event house in Summit Hill." Elara froze. Then, shrieking: "SUMMIT HILL?" I winced, nearly dropping my phone. "Jesus, Elara—" "EVIE, DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT IS?" I frowned. This girl. "A… place?" She groaned, dragging a hand down her face. "Oh my God. No. It’s the place. The road to Summit Hill is basically made of gold. You breathe the air there, and it adds five years to your life. The richest of the rich live there. Old money. New money. Big-name families. Celebrities."

But my girl comes first. “I am busy, leading a normal life,” I told him, picking up a toy truck that was near the couch. “Doing what?” He questioned sharply. “Lounging on my penthouse suite, swimming in my terrace pool with the girl I loved beside me, and booking tickets for Gstaad as we speak. Oh, I have friends and kids over by the way.” “Only ten percent of the population can afford what you are having, Cillian. So don’t call it a normal life. Did you just say, kid? Now that sounds scarier than what I am doing right now.”

I achieved this reputation because while others may revel in the distractions of social life and extracurricular activities, I remain focused on my projects and research knowing my goals and I won't stop till I get it. Talking about a famous reputation, as I enter the lecture hall I am approached by 'The Elites', the most famous girl group at Toppings.
