Love Dare Day Two Novels & Stories

Yet, that was also why he was drawn to me. In her email, Vera said that she and Julian had been in love for ten years. Their families came from entirely different worlds, which kept them apart. So, they decided to stay friends, and he picked me to be her stand-in. I was really crushed to read through all the memories they'd shared over those ten years. On our wedding night, Julian got drunk and actually slept with me for the first time. But during our intimate act, he called out Vera's name. Nevertheless, I swallowed my pride and went along with it.

"Alright, it's all my fault. Now sit down and eat." She spread jam on her toast and continued, "Hendrix, my wedding is next weekend. No matter what happens, I want you to push everything aside and be our wedding photographer. It's a way to honor the bond we've shared for over 20 years." Suddenly, the doorbell rang. A maid went to answer it, only to see a person she didn't recognize standing outside. "May I ask who you are here for?" The person at the door was a modest-looking middle-aged woman. Smiling, she said, "Hi, may I speak with Mr. Hendrix Gorman? I'm from a charity organization.

"I know you can't say it back. I know the conditioning—but I love you. Novalee Carter. And I'll love Novalee Santoro too. All of you. Every version. Every name. Every—everything." She pressed closer. "If I could feel it. If I could access it. If the conditioning hadn't—hadn't locked it away. It would be love. For you. I know it would be. That's—that's as close as I can get. But it's true. It's real. It's—it's mine to give even if I can't call it what it is." "That's enough. That's—that's everything." The first rays of morning came. Gray light through the window. Dawn. The wedding day.

"Luna Dessa asked me to bring this to you... It's an outfit, she wants you and your wife to dress in the same outfit today... She says it's Valentine's day. Can I drop it?" I and Lustrow took a glance at each other, disgust boldy expressed on Lustrow's face. Valentine's day? Who celebrated it? Even I didn't want to put on same outfit with Lustrow, that would somehow hurt Leoric and I didn't want to hurt him at all. The lady stood staring at both of us, waiting for an answer. I was not going to answer because I didn't know Lustrow's thought about the same outfit. It was clear on his face that he didn't want it, but what if he didn't want to go against his mother's will.

Whenever I came back in this room it feel like I threw back to the years of memory lane when Siddharth came here to celebrate Diwali with us and we both stood here in this balcony at Dhanteras night and confessed our love to each other. "Do you remember, we confessed our love here, in this same balcony." He voiced out my thoughts while looking at the moon in the sky. "How could I forget that day. That was the most beautiful day of my life." I said while looking at the moon and turn my face to look at him. He also turn his face and looked at me with love and adoration.

Unbeknownst to her, her sabotage did work in another timeline, and the other me had suffered for it. If fate hadn't interfered, I'd end up the same way my other self did. Zoe's apology came not from remorse, but from fear. She was terrified of ruination. "Please, give me one last chance." Surprise flickered upon my face. I didn't expect her to be so shameless. "Let's get into an LDR. Just for a year. I promise I will get into Harland next year." A bark of bitter laughter spilled from my lips, and I hurled the flowers back into her face.

The challenges they had faced had only strengthened their bond, deepening their love and forging an unbreakable connection.
