Me Talk Pretty One Day Kindle Novels & Stories

He kept changing phone numbers to apologize to me, even though no matter how many times I blocked him, it never stopped. The day before I left for studies abroad, the buyer of my condo called, claiming that my fiancé was camped outside, refusing to leave. Reluctantly, I went there. Milton looked like a ghost of himself. He was grimy and gaunt, with dark circles hollowing his eyes. His hair was greasy, and his stubble wild. He stood there awkwardly, like a scolded kid. His voice was a hoarse croak. "Claire..."

"Oh my god, I was just saying I wanted to see an Omega frenzy—I can't believe you actually did it!" The excitement she couldn't quite hide in her voice sent ice through my veins. So this was what my pain was to her. Entertainment. "Of course we did," Knox said, puffing up with pride. "If Mia says she wants to see something, we make it happen." The way he looked at her—so soft, so tender—was something I'd never seen from him before. Then he strolled up to the stone and peered down at me, mocking. The sunset light spilled across his face. Those features I knew so well—they looked like a stranger's now.

in the break room were now spamming the chat with thank-you memes. Daniel: “Mr. Shaw, you’re amazing! I knew sticking with you was the right choice!” Maggie: “Thank you, Mr. Shaw! I’m going to start looking up travel guides right now!” Eric: “Ahhh! I’m buying new swim trunks for photos!” Hah. Their attitudes changed faster than flipping a page. Just as the excitement in the chat reached its peak, an untimely message popped up. Julian: “Azure Haven Islands? That’s where tacky rich people go. Hot, crowded, and totally basic.”

He must have given them to Anna as a gesture, and she used them as her profile photo. Nausea rolled through me as I read Anna's next text message. [Mr. West, I'm so touched that you're taking me to Bali for a little getaway. Do you want me to wear the Officer Bunny outfit? Maybe it'll look even better on a mom-to-be.] I nearly vomited in disgust. I expressionlessly locked the phone and set it down. Ethan seemed to realize he had left his phone outside and emerged hastily to grab it. Holding it tightly, he shot me a sharp glare.

On Christmas Day, my parents decided to add my sister Chloe's name to the family trust. As the lawyer prepared the documents, he glanced at me. "And this young lady? Should she be included as well?" My mother waved a hand dismissively. "No need. She's just a foster child." Ever since Chloe was brought back home, I—their biological daughter—had become the outsider. All because Chloe insisted she was the only daughter in the family. If anyone so much as mentioned that I was blood-related, she'd have a PTSD episode—screaming, crying, the whole breakdown. Eventually, everyone just accepted it: "The Haper family only has one real daughter. The other one's a foster kid." At first, I tried to

The elders in the family are big on good omens, insisting we pick a nice date for the wedding for good luck. But after a fortune teller proposes nine potential wedding dates, Edward Colton turns every single one down. It's the tenth time now. Edward shakes his head yet again. I gaze at his handsome face and blurt out, "I think this date is perfect." Edward is busy scrolling through messages in his group chat, not even bothering to glance up at me. "This date won't work. Jolene and the others just mentioned they want to go to Hallibay for vacation. Turn down your mom's suggestion." I curl my fingers tight. His eyes remain fixed on his phone screen, as if he has endless conversations to t

You're not fit to be a mom! He hung up before I could say anything. I called the repair shop and asked them to pull the dashcam footage from my car. … I arrived at the courthouse first thing the next morning, right on time. Just as I was about to cross the intersection, I ran into Vera. Her eyes immediately went to my belly, and she put on a dramatic expression. "Oh no, you lost the baby? What a shame. Then again, with a mom who can't hold onto a man, that kid never stood a chance. Even if it had been born, it would've just been a fatherless orphan—"

On the front cover, there was a note written neatly: “For whoever finds this, may you remember that pain doesn’t mean you stopped living.” Her throat tightened as she repeated the words to herself. “Pain doesn’t mean you stopped living…” The man behind the counter spoke again. “That one’s special, isn’t it?” She nodded slowly, saying, “Yes. It feels…alive.” He smiled and said, “Then maybe you should take it with you.” Days turned into weeks. Camela began to visit the bookstore more often. The man’s name was Aaron—he was soft spoken, patient, never asking too many questions. He told her about his dream of turning the shop into a cozy café for writers.

How could he be the same man who sang off-key love songs on the phone, coaxed me to sleep, and sent me five hundred dollars so I could take a taxi instead of the subway? "Nova Grayson, you look like a dead goldfish. Take it easy this afternoon and lie down," Jeremiah Stone said, trying to pat my head. I recoiled instinctively, glancing past him to see Yoel standing there like a living ice sculpture, whose gaze held me frozen in place. "Jerry, I still need to revise the plan. Mr. Gilmore hasn't finished giving his feedback," I said, struggling through the dryness in my throat. Jeremiah didn't pick up on it.
