Married Yet Alone-until My Second Chance 소설 & 이야기

It was as if what he said was as if he had hit me with a block of ice on my head and I woke up. "Linda is right, hija." Uncle Joe muttered calmly. “Do you know that it is difficult to live alone, and not everyone is as lucky as you. Having someone to be with in life is a blessing that no longer comes to everyone. Some of them are reluctant to marry different people before finding the right soul for them. ”

A loud silence dropped in, but it wasn’t long before Grandma threw her fork away. “You still haven’t changed,” she cursed, turning to face him. “You are 33 and still single. Don’t you have plans of getting married?” His eyes rolled subtly, and my cunt twitched against my will. “Marriage?” he scoffed. “I would rather stay alone than marry an unreliable woman.” The air in my lungs froze. When I lifted my gaze, his eyes landed on mine, and that made my heart flutter.

Savoring the gentle touch of the breeze on my face. "How long do you intend to avoid marriage, my dear?" Tears began to pool in my eyes. "I'm happy like this, Grandpa." "You're lonely, my dear." Those wrinkled hands gently touched my cheek, making me startle and turn to face him. Grandfather's gaze remained the same. Looking at me with deep compassion. "One day, the time will come when Grandpa, Dad, Mom, and your siblings will all be gone. And you'll be alone, my dear. Who will you lean on except for a life partner?"

“It’s a family heirloom!” Then, she smirked at my ring. “You can’t compare something like that to some cheap ring bought at a random shop.” I ignored her completely and focused on preparing for my own wedding. Sarah and I would be holding our ceremonies on the same day. True to his word, Seville arrived to pick me up in a crystal pumpkin carriage. Wearing my pearl wedding gown, I took his hand as he escorted me into the chapel. Inside, the decorations shimmered like an entire galaxy.

Two months after the divorce, I accepted the transfer to the headquarters in Veroton. I finally replied to the email I'd left sitting unanswered for two years with just one word, "Okay." The new city moved fast. There were projects everywhere, and the night lights burned bright. I moved into a small apartment by the river and started learning, all over again, how to live alone. I learned to order the takeout I actually liked, to sleep in on weekends, to put fresh flowers by the window, and to spend my paycheck on myself first.

Not that it was any better before but I would trade my present life to get the former back. Two years ago, while celebrating the full moon. I met my mate the Alpha. Trust me nothing could have prepared me for that day. I had always wanted to be mated with someone who would love and care for me but I guess that was not my fate. I was intoxicated by a smell while having a drink at one corner of the hall. I was very happy to find my mate, so I followed the fresh sandalwood scent. I found him at the center of the hall. I guess he was looking for me too because he kept looking around.

In the past, for Brandon's sake, I had lowered myself to no end. Just before I hung up, I heard the sound of glass shattering on his end. "It's all my fault… I'm the one who lost you…" However, I did not dwell on that call. From the moment I was reborn, there was never going to be anything between us again. In fact, I had something far more important to worry about. The wedding. Three months later, across two lifetimes, I was getting married for the very first time.

They grew up, married and started raising children of their own, but we remained close. I was sixty when cancer took Mary. I sold the house, bought a small condo and tried to get on with my life. One of the first things that I did was hire Merry Maids to come in and clean for me. When Merrily, my stepdaughter, heard about that she went ballistic. I was wasting my money paying some one to come in and do what Merrily would do for free. But I was alone for the first time in my life and as much as I missed Mary I kind of liked it and I felt that Merrily being around would somehow take that away from me. That was the other thing that upset Merrily - my being alone. She set out on a campaign to ge

She blinked at me, and for a heartbeat her eyes shimmered with unshed tears. “You always say the right thing.” “Only because it’s true.” Behind us, Maris had found a tiara display and was now balancing one on her head, looking every bit the mischievous princess she secretly believed she was. “When I get married,” she declared, “I want one with real diamonds. The kind you can see from the moon!” “Let’s start with surviving your first real date, Maris,” I teased, and everyone dissolved into laughter again. For a few precious hours, there were no wars, no witches, no haunting memories of betrayal… only us. Girls laughing, choosing dresses, dreaming of tomorrow.
