No Going Back Floria And Antonio Novels & Stories

The craving, the missing, the disappointment—it all started fading. By the time I was almost free of thinking about him, Nathan showed up again. He called me with a new number. "You think you're slick, huh? Running off to Eltoria without telling me? And staying away this long?" He sounded like he was complaining. "Come back. Now that I'm finally free, I'll travel with you." I answered flatly, "No, thanks. I'm traveling right now. Why should I drop everything just to run back to you?"

ERICA “I don't care if you are already matured or not but I want you to give my sister a proper wedding.” Summer said to Antonio as we stood at the tarmac, the plane behind us ready to take me and Antonio back to Italy. My three guards were the only three men Antonio had brought with him and of course, Thor, which turned out has a new bonding with Antonio that I wasn’t aware of. Even now, he sat peacefully beside Antonio. The traitor. I only went for ten days and he has already changed sides.

At two in the morning, my sister, Paige Boyce, paid men to smash up my barbecue stand. I fought to make them stop, ignoring the embers that scorched blisters into my skin as they landed. It was the first time in my life I'd ever raised my voice at her. "After Mom and Dad died in that plane crash, this stand paid for four years of your college education and helped you become a flight attendant for Golden Crest Airlines," I said. "Are you really going to destroy the only thing keeping us alive?" Something flickered in her eyes, a flash of reluctance, but she steeled herself and scoffed. "I've told you a hundred times to get rid of this dump of a stand, and you never listen. Do you want m

The day the university released the family placement positions for doctoral graduates, I went straight to the Human Resources Office to register. But the staff member barely looked up before rolling their eyes. "Mr. Slater, everyone at this university knows you cheated on your wife and are about to leave the marriage with nothing. How do you still have the nerve to ask about the placement position?" I thought there had been some kind of misunderstanding. I rushed home, hoping to explain everything to my wife, only for my mother to slap me across the face. "I don't have a shameless son like you. Get out of Natalie's house!" I was driven back to the rural school where I had spent the past

Jason’s pupils dilated, as though she had struck him across the face. He finally realized how foolish he had been back then. I no longer cared about their mess. I just looked at him calmly and said, “The ambulance is here.” He was silent for a long time before saying hoarsely, “Nina… Can we still go back to the way we were?” I chuckled. Go back to the way we were? He was the one who destroyed everything, and now he was trying to have it all back?

did I feel like he was not even talking about himself? I lay on my side, curled into a fetal position. My hand rested once again on my belly. "I don't know what tomorrow will look like, but I promise you... I will fight for you." One tear rolled down my cheek. I went to sleep. But little did I know... By morning, Antonio would be on TV... smiling and proudly announcing his engagement, standing alongside Clara, holding a microphone.

“Kathy… she’s safe, isn’t she? You’ve been hiding this from me! Tell me! Now!” Linda’s heart softened. She spoke gently. “It was her choice. She didn’t want to disrupt your life with Cadence. She didn’t go northwest. She went south, to Socalli City, to seek her family.” "Russ… Kathy has let you go. Since your heart lies with another, let this end. Don’t interfere with her new life. Your paths have diverged; treat her as a stranger from now on. If you have chosen Cadence, then be true to her. To break this engagement now would be a humiliation she could never endure.”

But if she was, why hadn't she talked to him about it? Antonio could feel his body go numb all over. A horrific realization struck him—he had neglected Natalina for so long that he had completely forgotten that once she made up her mind about something, she followed through with absolute unyielding resolve. He had no idea when she had the abortion or left the estate. No, he had to find her! Antonio turned around to leave, but Aurora grabbed him by his sleeve. "Don Antonio, you promised you'd stay with me today, didn't you?"

“A pack is only as strong as those it discards. I was loyal. I was mocked. And I still came back—not for forgiveness, but to remind you what decency looks like.” Silence. Then Elder Lin stood. “You want reinstatement?” “No,” Draven said. “I want partnership.” He reached for Sepharine’s hand. “If I return, it’s with her beside me. As equal. As Luna.” Gasps. Then— Fiona tore off her necklace, threw it down, and fled. Draven didn’t watch her go. He only looked at Sepharine. The council huddled. Whispered. Finally, Elder Marlow stepped forward.

she stammered in disbelief. Antonio's attention wasn't on her, though. His rage was palpable. First, it was that mobster lusting after his possession, and now this bartender. Flash back to the bar, where Antonio was supposed to meet with his friends. He had noticed Lexi, smiling brightly as she sipped her drink. He had seen the way the bartender looked at her, his gaze filled with lust. Antonio frowned as Lexi stood up, followed by the bartender who immediately excused himself.
