Lucky: A Novel Novels & Stories

Prince Lucas smirked. At least she found him attractive. He had a shot. "That I'm in a strange building with a guy I don't know that well. Sounds like the start of a perfect crime documentary." Charlotte joked. He laughed. "I'm not going to kill you Charlotte. In fact, let's clear that... What do I call it? Let me let you know me better." She yawned and nodded. "This building is Carat Insurance-" "Carat?" She asked, looking a bit sleepy.

It was a profound question from a five-year-old, and Claire took time to answer thoughtfully. "That's a really important question. The truth is, the world isn't fair. Some people are born into families with lots of money and opportunities, and other people are born into families struggling just to survive. That's not because anyone deserves one or the other - it's just luck, basically." "That's not fair," Sophia said firmly. "You're right, it's not. So people like us who got lucky - we have a responsibility to try to make things more fair. That's why Mama works at the community centers, to help people who didn't get the same lucky start we did."

That day, I was walking along the beach as usual. The sky was heavy with storm clouds, the kind that collapsed without warning. I was about to turn back when something rustled in the jungle. Something moving low, fast, animal-like. I froze, not knowing whether to step forward or dodge. And then, Adrian burst out from the other side of the path. Everything slowed. I turned, confused, and saw it. The muzzle of a gun spitting fire. A bullet slicing through the air toward my back.

Shandall's smile grew wider with what Buddy has said. “I will truly appreciate it, Mr. Buddy. My pen name is LuckyOne. You can find some of my novels, online, you can just g****e my pen name.” Ms. Shandall said happily. “I will take note of that Ms. Shandall. Good luck with your new book.” Buddy even bowed as he beams towards Ms. Shandall.

She was gazing at Shawn with such starry eyes. I remembered Summer mentioning she liked mature men. Seeing Shawn’s current transformation, it all made sense. Thereafter, I stopped paying much attention to the two of them and focused wholeheartedly on studying and attending classes. After lending my fortune out in my past life, my memory deteriorated and misfortune followed me everywhere. Now only half of my luck remained. Once my fortune was given out, it was gone forever. This was something an old psychic had told me with a solemn expression back then.

Ji’lahni said, as her and Mina bumped into each other because they had backed up towards the only light in the build coming from the window they just came in from. “What the hell are ya….” Lucky said, turning and coming face to face with a set of red eyes. Without thought Lucky dropped and rolled away. Knowing that whatever that was, would kill her if she allowed it to grab her. “SHIT! I knew this wasn't going to be easy. WE’VE BEEN MADE SUIT UP! NEW PLAN KILL EVERYTHING THEN GET THE THUMB DRIVE! CHARMS GIVE ME SOME LIGHTS!” Lucky yelled as her bangles clicked releasing her guns as she fired the first shot.

Alice was already unlucky ever since she was born; her presence brought unfortunate events to her people. Was this her fault? Was this because she did not have her lucky charm with her? Before going downstairs, Alice opened her jewelry box. She grabbed the necklace that sat alone inside. It had three pendants: a silver star, a golden horseshoe, and a small letter ‘L’ for luck. It had been a long time since she wore a piece of jewelry, but today, she needed its comfort. She needed its protection from bad luck. “I know you do not like bodyguards, but you need to have one right now,” Meredith initiated when she arrived at the dining area.
