No Woman Left Behind Novels & Stories

Ozul was instrumental in helping us get everyone back where they originated from and soon, everyone was accounted for. There were women that died in the process. Luckily, not in our realm. However, because of the event, all realms decided to make the anniversary of the last of the women being returned home a holiday and called it, “The Great Rescue”, across all the realms. That day is a day dedicated to women now. It took a year for the last woman to be brought home.

She joined her. Why. Because we did not appear weak. The woman glanced sideways. But resistance invites preparation. Yes. Silence stretched between them. Then the woman added, We reinforce again. Not because we fear. Because we understand. Work began before full light. They replaced cracked beams entirely rather than patching them. Added cross supports at ground level. Buried thicker posts deeper into soil. The rhythm of hammering and digging echoed through the morning. No one complained. No one spoke of leaving. That, she noticed, mattered most.

With that, I kept the needle pressed against my neck while limping out of the hospital. When I walked past an abandoned building, a pair of hands emerged from the darkness and pulled me inside. Soon, I felt the cold touch of a knife against my neck. It was Paige Bracker. The woman my father had beaten into miscarriage. Her eyes were bloodshot, and her hair was disheveled. After she took me to the rooftop, she ordered sharply, “Call Cassandra and tell her to bring me ten million dollars, or else I’ll throw you off the edge!”

Like the woman mattered enormously, even though she never gave anyone a name to remember her by. Dave looked up at Cloe. “St. Agatha’s,” he said softly. “Margaret, was that one of the three.” “It was,” Margaret said through the phone, her voice tight with the particular alertness Cloe had learned to recognise this entire year. “Cloe, it’s actually the one that was completely demolished. There’s nothing left of the building at all. If this woman remembers anything firsthand, she might be the only thread we have left.” Dave typed carefully.

Little did he know that I had taken Ayden and left for foreign shores a decade ago, back to the stronghold of our family. Derick, lost and searching, was instead found by Jasmine. 10 years had turned Jasmine into a shell of her former self, robbed of her fertility and plagued by a severe mental disorder. Once she found Derick again, she would not let go. From lovers to sworn enemies, they lost everything and lived only to torment each other. Soon after, tragedy struck in Derick's home: a shooting that left both dead. Rumor had it that Jasmine, in a fit of madness, decided if she was going down, Derick was going too.

She sat on the chair on the other side of the table and brought out a pen. "The issue of property and business merger...." "My lawyer is on standby and will discuss everything with you" she said placing the card on the table. She quickly signed the documents and left. Outside she breathed a sigh in relief, she was finally free from that prison. She got into the car and drove off.

he muttered in disbelief. I watched him flip through my phone. He even dialed the number Connor had given him over and over. Finally, he accepted I was the one backing him all along. His bravado vanished, and his crest fell. He stood in front of me, ready to say something. I grabbed my things and said, "We're done, officially!" "No." Cade grabbed my hand. "I'm not breaking up with you. Even if you're not the investor, you're still my girlfriend."

Frederick and Lennon looked like they had something to say, but William didn't give them the chance to speak. "Get out! And take that woman too. Blacklist them. I never want to see their faces again!" he snapped. A few bodyguards immediately moved to drag the three of them out. "Wait!" I called out. Frederick's eyes lit up. "Lizzy, I knew it. Deep down, you still—"

It means handing over your whole life. On that wolf bone, a line was carved. To Cain, with all of me and my love. E. I went still. Three months ago. I hadn't yet left for the North, hadn't yet met Rowan. The me of those days, wounded all over by him, was still secretly, telling no one, loving him. I'd quietly had someone begin an acknowledgment token, thinking that if he ever turned back one day, I'd acknowledge him. Later I burned the acknowledgment ground, severed my bloodline, left for the far North, and forgot the whole thing, along with that love.

After a long pause, she spoke in a trembling voice, “Grandma loves you, Nathan. But I can’t force your mother to change her mind. "Before she was your mother, she was first my daughter. "My daughter has been hurt beyond measure by you and your father. Don’t you think I feel heartbroken about it? "When she came back, I was so devastated, and now she’s finally starting to heal. How could I push her back into the abyss? "So, I’m sorry, Nathan. Go back with your father."
