Mary Jane Falling Novels & Stories

“I’m sorry, Jackson. I just—I can’t lose you.” She was about to call him for the hundredth time when she heard it. A knock on her window. Maya froze, her heart jumping into her throat. She lived on the third floor. There was nothing outside her window except a small ledge and a three-story drop to the alley below. Slowly, she set her phone down and crossed to the window, her hand trembling slightly as she reached for the curtains. She pulled them back and— “What the hell?!”

I looked back only to see Nana holding her chest with one hand, her face red. My heart stopped. I stood up from Iris immediately and ran towards her. Her face twisted in pain and her phone dropped to the ground. She swayed. Then collapsed. I ran faster, barely catching her before her body hit he ground. "Call 911" I yelled.

" Marian's eyes welled up with tears upon hearing my words, her heart breaking even more. "Right, it was me who allowed myself to believe in a love that was never meant to be," Marian whispered, her voice trembling with a mix of sadness and acceptance. "I can't change the past, but I can change the future, right?" She smirked through her tears, staring at me. "If I can't be happy, then neither can you, Jane." She smiled, pushing Jane hard against the wall. The force of her shove caught me off guard, but I couldn't do anything to stop Jane from falling to the ground. I can only watch in horror as she crumples to the floor, her body limp and lifeless.

First I wobble on my feet when I try to reach higher and grab the tampon which of course makes me lose balance, I try to keep myself from falling by holding onto the woman’s shoulders but that is an even more terrible idea because she obviously hates me and wants me off her body as soon as possible. I know this because she pushes my hand away which has me reeling back. But I’m not one to give up so easily so I grab her shirt and we both tumble down to the ground. It would have been fine if our encounter ended her but of course not, I don’t have such good luck. The woman had unfortunately tried to grab the shelf to avoid falling down but like me she had failed and only sent all the tampons on

Okay, let me explain, I said to her. When I was coming to work this morning, waiting for the bus, Endrick saw me and he persuaded me to give me a ride to the company but I declined. You what! She exclaimed. You mean you declined the request of Endrick to give you a lift to the company. 'Wow’, she added. Mary, don't you know almost all the female workers working in this particular company always wish for such an opportunity, even only once, but you declined. See Sandra, you can't understand. I said. Okay Mary what's there that I can't understand, she queried.

Her hands were shaking so badly that she spilled more water than she managed to use. I looked at John’s pale face, still struggling to comprehend what had happened. It wasn’t just that he had fallen, it was the way he looked now, so fragile, so unlike himself. It was terrifying. “He was just standing there when I was coming to call him in.” Marion whispered, her voice cracking as she spoke. “And then... he collapsed. I didn’t see him hit his head, but there was a loud thud...” Laura crossed her arms over her chest, leaning against the wall. She was pale, her brows furrowed in concentration as she tried to make sense of it all.

She had hoped that it would be the same for him. Maryan planned to lead Jin into the truth. He was supposed to succumb to her deception. Although she knew that it would not be easy, she didn’t expect it to be that hard. And everything happened in reverse. She was supposed to make Jin Quohora fall for her but that was not the case. She admitted it to herself. Maryan was the one who was pulled into his gravity.

Before he could finish the sentence, however, Jane closed the short space that separated us in the blink of an eye, not even giving me a chance to react before she grabbed my arms, her nails digging deep into my skin. But what really chilled me to the bone was the fact that she forced my body backward, causing my shoes to slip slightly on the first step of the long staircase. Just one movement of her hands and I wouldn't be able to regain my balance quickly enough to avoid rolling down the stairs. “Eden!” Mae gasped, desperate, but all I could do was keep staring deep into Jane’s eyes.

"A mess. He is scrambling to borrow money to cover the holes, but it's too much. He can't fill it." "How much?" "Nearly 20 million dollars. The company is on the verge of bankruptcy." I sighed, "Has he called the police?" "Yeah, but Yvette ran off clean," John replied. "It will take time to track her down." I hung up, reflecting. Elliot's betrayal hurt, but we'd shared five years and a son. His downfall stung, but it was his doing.

But her curtains has to take the toll for her preying skills now! "Oh, God! I need to take these curtains down now." Mumbling to herself, she brings a chair which is big enough for her to reach there, and starts taking them off. But all of a sudden, the chair loses balance which causes her to fall down on the tiled floor with an oomph and thud. She has fallen on her butt ahead! When she tries to get up from the floor, the door to her room is swing open and comes in Mr. Taylor. What is he doing here? Does he not stay on the ground floor? And her room is on the second floor!
