Nine Star Burden Novels & Stories

When I am now on the last day, suddenly the stars are hiding. Without any reason, Lou looked and I looked at him also. “Nine.”

Lashe replied and Ibukun laughed. “Sometimes sharing our problems doesn’t mean that they’ll go away, but the burdens lessen” Ibukun said as she wore a brighter smile. “For you who had to carry such a huge burden for a long time. More than ten years, sharing such an experience; that is definitely normal” Ibukun added and Lashe stared at her with a smile. “I don’t know how I’ll live without you” Lashe said softly and Ibukun raised an eyebrow. An habit she had gotten from Lashe after spending so many times with him.

In the corner, circled: Nine. She watches. Marcus looks at ARBITER and gives her nothing, because he has already handed her that. He looks at DECAY and his jaw sets, because he handed her that too, standing upright while the truth put its teeth in him. Then he sees the nine. That is where it lands. A stillness under the stillness he wears every day, which seems unfair. A man should only be allowed one layer of impossible control before it becomes showing off. “You know that number,” she says.

"You're not worried I might be a con artist?" Draven chuckled and looked at me. "You saved my life. I'd be fine with being conned by you." I did not know what to say. 'How could he still be so love-struck?' I wondered. "You're not scared I might be a spy or gold digger who married you just to get all your money?" "The Gibsons have so much money. If you manage to take it all, I'd just make it back." He was so sure of himself.

Seeing this scene, Philip smiled and said, “Do you think I’m a pushover? It seems that Licht is not the only one who’ll show off today.” Philip looked up with a calm gleam in his eyes. His aura gradually soared. His displayed power at the peak of eight stars that was slowly stepping over the threshold of nine stars. Everyone was stunned by this scene. “Nine stars!” a young man muttered under his breath with cold sweat on his forehead, his voice trembling.

Number 3 had only red stars. Number 3 had five stars in her star map, and all of them were red. Three of these stars were filled, whereas the other two were empty. At first Mane reckoned that the stars had to do with a person’s talent. But the twins were just as talented as him, however they had only seven stars in their star maps unlike Mane who had nine. And Dan had fourteen, which just didn’t seem to make sense since Dan’s talent was currently in decline and was comparable to Mane and the twins’. So right now Mane didn’t know what to think. There was one thing he was absolutely certain of though.

My wolf, curled up in the depths of my consciousness, was trembling and whimpering softly. I forced myself to calm down. Suppressing the surge of emotion, I quickly checked the pod. The air inside was already thin and bitterly cold. One corner of the pod had collapsed, and the steel plating had snapped into jagged hooks that could fall at any moment. But there was still hope. I clenched my teeth and crawled toward the storage compartment. Although my hand was cut open as a result, I hurriedly began rummaging through the remaining supplies.

Two of Noah’s guys stepped out. Jenny skidded to a halt, her pulse roaring in her ears. Ethan positioned himself in front of her. “Get returned.” The large of the two guys, a bald guy with a scar throughout his cheek, smirked. “Mr. Hernandez desires you domestic, Jenny.” Ethan’s fists clenched. “She isn't going with you.” The second guy laughed. “You do not have a desire.” Jenny’s heart pounded. She was in this role earlier than trapped, powerless. But no longer this time.

Fragrant orange petals floated softly down through the air. “They’ll be down in just a minute,” the nanny told them nervously. But Lorenzo and Phoebe glanced at each other and smiled. They didn’t need any explanation.

In a choked voice, he said, "I'll leave on my own." As I watched him turn away in dejection, I suddenly called out, "Wait." His steps halted. A flicker of hope appeared in his eyes, only for him to hear me say, "I almost forgot about something. The final payment for Star Tower is almost due. Remember to pay what's owed, as per the purchase agreement." Bryan stiffened. "What was that?" Snorting, I asked, "What's the matter? You forgot all about the contract you signed two days ago? The one where you made it clear you were buying Star Tower for me?"
