Lisa Jewell Then She Was Gone นิยาย & เรื่องราว

I hear Hannah’s name echo from somewhere far away and realize he’s screaming it. “Oh, Goddess. She’s gone! She went to Eastonia.” I look at Isaac, holding onto his wrists as he continues to hold my face in his hands. I bow my head, resting my forehead against his. She’s gone. Ella’s gone. End of Book 5

His voice rushed through the line, breathless, shaken. Something inside me lurched. “Adrian, what’s wrong? Did something happen?” He stammered, words tripping over themselves. “Clairessa… Dad, Clairessa’s gone.” That one word, gone, slammed into me so hard. I forced my voice steady, though inside everything reeled. “What do you mean she’s gone? Slow down, Adrian. Tell me exactly what happened.” “I was having lunch with her,” he said, voice breaking. “She felt dizzy, went to the bathroom, and she never came back.”

Help me arrange the move abroad. There was no one left here worth staying for. I left in a rush. I packed through the second half of the night and moved out before dawn. I did not even return to the company. … When Selena realized she could not reach me, she panicked. She borrowed other people's phones and called again and again. None of them worked. I disappeared from her life cleanly, like a gust of wind. All I left her were a few dreamlike years of memories and the engagement ring, placed neatly on the table.

I had not expected her to react like this upon hearing about my death. But what did it matter? It could not bring me back. Mason's assistant stood off to the side, completely at a loss. Vega was the one funding everything, and no one could afford to offend her. … By the time Vega left the police station, her legs were too weak to support her. My body had been so soaked by seawater that it was barely recognizable. The police said the killer had already been found. The beach was usually deserted. This time, I had only been discovered because a couple had gone there on a date.

“I would’ve been there, but I’ve been handling something else.” I straightened. “What happened?” He sighed through the phone, the kind of sigh that meant things weren’t just messy..they were actively falling apart. “She’s gone.” I paused. “Who’s gone?” “Julie.” My fingers tightened around the phone. “What do you mean she’s gone?” “I mean,” he said, “she’s on the run. We went to serve the arrest warrant this morning. The house was cleared out, she was already gone before we even got close.”

The thought of having sex with both men scared her shitless, but at the same time, made her panties wet and caused a deep throbbing ache in her pussy. Theirs was such a different lifestyle, but she tried not to judge others. The only opinions she gave a fig about were George's and Starla's. Jewel's father left her and her mother when she was twelve. He disappeared for years and when he finally got in touch with her she just didn't care. At that time, her life revolved around marrying Daniel. Her mother had just died after a long battle with breast cancer and her fiance was her world. Then, Daniel died several months before their wedding. She kept in touch with his parents for a while, but ev

Life doesn’t have to be so complicated,' Tyler advised and I sighed internally, if only it was that easy. After a quick shower, I dressed up casually and went downstairs. Subconsciously looking around. “She’s already gone to the training grounds,” Lisa’s voice startled me and I looked up at her. She was smiling warmly as she set up the table. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I said, scratching my neck and she chuckled. “The lady you are looking for has already gone to the training grounds, you will find her there,” she explained but I denied vehemently. “Who said I am looking for her?”

‘Somehow I don’t think she got that from dusting doorknobs. ‘No. She didn’t,’ he said tightly. He couldn’t tell her about Sadie and the danger Holly had been in without Maxine accusing him of endangering Joey. That would be her next line of defense, he knew. ‘But Jill is gone now. So other than assuring you that she was a wonderful person, this conversation is pointless.’ ‘Gone?’ Maxine seemed startled by that. ‘Didn’t have what it took for ranch life, I imagine. She looked like she lacked staying power.’

Morgan, taken aback by his ferocity, left without another word. Eventually, Williams hired a private investigator to find Lisa. The man returned with a lead in England—a small cottage in the countryside. Williams didn’t hesitate. He boarded the next flight, determined to bring her back. Lisa stood in the garden of her modest cottage in England, a soft breeze rustling the trees around her. The quiet life she had built over the past few weeks felt surreal after the chaos of New York. Her hand rested protectively on her growing belly as she stared out at the horizon.

Lara had rejoined Gina near the empty chairs, but both of them kept glancing toward Bella with worried eyes. I crossed the room and sat beside her close enough that our thighs almost touched, but not quite. The wooden chair creaked under my weight. The faint scent of lilies still clung to my jacket from when I had hugged her earlier. She didn’t look at me right away. After a long silence, she spoke—her voice small, cracked, barely above a whisper. “She’s gone.” I nodded slowly. “I know.” She swallowed hard. Her throat worked visibly. “I don’t know what to do now.”
