Novel & Cerita Life Turned Upside Down

His heart was overwhelmed with bitterness. Payton wished he could press the rewind button. He regretted the poor decisions he had made, which turned his life upside down. He sat in the car and sobbed like a child. He hadn’t lost only his wife and son but his entire world. Due to the time difference between South Africa and Melbourne, Samantha woke up at 6 am. Then she walked to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth. Samantha picked up her phone from the nightstand, then she dialed Harvey Stanton’s number. When the call was connected, she said, smiling, “Hello, Mr Stanton. How are you doing?”

*** ALEX'S HOUSE I was worn out. I hauled myself to my scanty porch, then tossed my bag into my wide-opened window. My room faced the entrance of our humble home. Our house seemed like a disaster waiting to happen. Cracked in many angles at the far-up wall. It's sky blue color, turning into something that gradually looked like...poop. A beautiful pear plant stood beside the dreary structure, but that was it. Not another beautification. Nope! I'm not waiting for this pile of rubbles to crush me down before I find a job. I walked in, turned on the lights, and found Felix, my foster dad, wasted on his ' favorite couch'. Two empty bottles swiveled to and fro on the animal skinned rug.

Timmy said. "Are you done here? If you are, then leave," I calmly said. Jessica's face became pale, then flushed red. "You can't get back at me like this just because I turned you down! Business is business, and you can't force love! I'm never going to throw myself at you just to get some investment funding! I hope you can tell the difference and just sign!" "Nice speech! Really nice!" I said as I clapped slowly. I honestly did not know just how shameless Jessica could be.

It dawned on me that this was his true nature. I was with him for five years, but I never really knew him. "You're a monster! Those kids were innocent. You think this earns my forgiveness?

[Jake Carter jumped to his death.] Reports said he scrawled bloody apologies on a wall before he died. I only felt irony. Shocked by the event, Linda lost her mind and was sent to a mental hospital.

I knew mom would be asleep because she's always asleep by this time so I didn't bother opening her room so as to not disturb her. I just got back from yet another failed job hunt, every time it's either they are not looking for new staff or my qualifications don't meet the requirements. What have I done to deserve this from the universe, is this how my life is meant to be. My thoughts were spiralling, I guess that's what I get for being an overthinker.

"Miss Sargent, I messed up today. Curse me, hit me, do whatever you want—just please, convince Mr. Miller not to pull the investment. We really need it." I paused, then said firmly, "No. This investment was my idea. I won't back a company that bullies and exploits its people." I hung up, cutting off his desperate pleas. ... I was determined to open my own smoothie shop, so I spent the next few days scouting locations and planning. Just when I thought Lauren and Tom were out of my life for good, Matteo called, his voice shaking with panic. "Lauren's got a knife! She's holding my mom hostage at the hospital!"

(Elisa’s POV) I loved how my life turned out. One minute, I was lying beside the road with a bullet wound from people I thought were my friends, and here I was living a life of crime and loving it. I looked at my watch, realizing how late I was to get to the restaurant, and said, “I have to go. I need to run the books for my bar and restaurant.” I turned to Lorenzo and asked, “Are you coming?” I asked since he had insisted on tagging along.

She finished the whole six pieces in the pack, staining all her mouth and chin with the cream in the bread. The bread went the wrong way due to the fact that she rushed it on her stomach that has been empty for days so she got puked and ran to the toilet to vomit everything she ate, she hated her life so much. Why did she have to go through all these struggle? Why was the universe cruel to her this way? What is her next step to take? These were the questions that filled her head as she sat with her head buried in her knees inside the bathroom. She managed to shower and that gave her some strength before going back to her bed. She tried Mike’s number he had given her the other time on her new

She slumped on the floor like a heap of mud, her eyes hollow, murmuring the same words over and over. “It was me… aflatoxin… I poisoned my own daughter with my own hands… I deserve to go to hell… I deserve to go to hell…” On this New Year’s Eve, the illusion carefully maintained for twenty years was completely shattered by a single diagnosis and the cold weight of the truth. “Daniel Carter! Look at this! Look at what you’ve done!” My uncle was the first to slam the table and stand up, veins bulging on his forehead. His trembling finger pointed at my mother collapsed on the floor, then jabbed toward my father, whose face had turned the color of ash.
