Life Is Not Late

Life Is Not Late

I ran toward the crowd, toward the people who had chosen to celebrate the life I had rebuilt. They surrounded me and began singing "Happy Birthday." In the warmth of their voices and the glow of the candles, I closed my eyes and made the first wish of my life that truly belonged only to me. "To a life well lived, Cindy!" The candles went out. Cheers rose around me. I took a bite of cake and watched the last edge of the sun sink behind the mountains. All the blood-stained memories of Manhattan drifted away with the cool evening breeze, left forever in the ruins of a life I would never return to.

Sold to the Disfigured Billionaire

Sold to the Disfigured Billionaire

He felt like a zoo animal on display. "The line is two hours long," Harper groaned, looking at the queue. Then she spotted it. The Accessibility Lane. It was completely empty. "Boss! Look!" Harper’s eyes lit up. She pushed him toward the empty lane. "We can go in there!" A staff member spotted them and immediately opened the rope. "Right this way, sir. Do you need assistance?" "No, we're good!" Harper thanked him enthusiastically. As they breezed past the hundreds of people sweating in the long line, Harper leaned down and whispered to Sebastian. "See? Being with you has perks! We just saved two hours and a $200 Fast Pass!"

Reclaiming My Life

Reclaiming My Life

Let the people investigate on their own. “Funny story, Sebastian, the headline stated that I was an orphan. I want to let everyone know that I have a loving mother and a whole lot of people supporting and loving me behind the scenes.” I glanced at Ellie and smiled at her. She smiled back and waved her hand at me. “Regarding my father, honestly I don't care where on the earth the man is. He's absent my whole life and I don't think I have to acknowledge him anymore. So I really don't get the point why this anonymous person, who published the article, keeps bringing him up. This same person tormented me ever since I tied a knot, and right now it feels like I'm living rent-free inside her head.”

My New Life Has No Room for Them

My New Life Has No Room for Them

But when I saw Tatiana's name on the screen, I was genuinely shocked. In both lives, we had never exchanged a private phone call. We both loved Matthew. In my past life, I refused to give him up, and she hated me for a lifetime. She even taught my own son to reject me. In this life, I retreated first. I removed myself from everything and escaped to the far Northern Territory. I never imagined we would speak at all. After a moment's hesitation, I answered. "Why aren't you coming back for the Full Moon Festival?" Her voice was stiff and unfriendly. It completely lacked warmth.

In the Next Life

Slowly, his laughter was laced with stifled sobs. I patted his head. "Hey now, no waterworks. I'm turning into an angel soon. I'll be getting wings and a halo! You should be throwing me a congratulatory party." His voice wavered, caught between a laugh and a sob. "What kind of angel goes through all this suffering..." "Doesn't matter. I wouldn't have it any other way." … [In the Next Life — April 12, 2024, 3:09 PM — I Wonder If Anyone Is Still Waiting For Me To Come Home For Dinner]

The Billionaire's First Glance

The Billionaire's First Glance

Nathan laughed, “Yes, like Monaco, Monaco.” Oh my God! I thought to myself. I’ve never been outside of the United States. In fact, I’ve only been on a plane once, to fly here to New York! “This is crazy!” I stated. “This is your life now, Kimmy,” Dante announced. “This is how we roll in the fast lane.” “I’ve never been in the fast lane. I don’t even think I’ve been in the slow lane,” I giggled. “I think I’ve been pulled over on the side of the road with a flat tire all my life.”

Choosing One Life Over Another

Choosing One Life Over Another

With no way out, he had to ride in the same car. Now, I realized why he was so nervous that entire time and why he kept urging me to drive slower. Ashley fell to her knees, crying, "Felix, why would you do this?" Why? I had a good guess. A few months ago, Felix had borrowed money from loan sharks to feed his gambling habit. He couldn't repay them and came begging me for help, but I had no money to give him. When I advised him to turn himself in to the police, he fell to his knees and pleaded, "Please, Sean. You can't report this. If the police get involved, my life is over. They'll break my arms. Please help me, Sean."

which will not appear in this form because it's allowed to work around them and so I did. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Join me in this ride. I hope you'll read it, like it, vote for it and comment a lot ^_^ That's all I have to say for now. Thank you for your time, see you in the story… ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yunlan's stomach was killing him, he should really learn to take better care of himself. He couldn't remember the last time he had a decent meal or slept a decent amount of hours, and the fact that he had a stressful job and just had more than a couple of drinks with his colleagues didn't help.

Frequently Asked Questions

Man, I totally get the hunt for free reads—especially for gems like 'Fasting, Feasting'! Desai’s writing is so vivid, and I remember scouring the web for it ages ago. Legally, Project Gutenberg might not have it (copyright’s a stickler), but your local library’s digital app, like Libby or Hoopla, could surprise you with a free borrow. Libraries often partner with these platforms, so a library card might be your golden ticket.

If you’re open to secondhand, thrift stores or used book sites sometimes list cheap copies. I snagged mine for like $3 on ThriftBooks! Just a heads-up: sketchy ‘free PDF’ sites are risky—malware city. Honestly, supporting authors by buying or borrowing ethically feels way better than dodgy downloads. Plus, Desai’s prose deserves the real deal—those food descriptions hit different in print.
