Novel & Cerita Once I Was Lost

" My vision was turning blurry. All of a sudden, my phone rang. I did not care to check who was calling. I pressed the accept button and croaked for help. The next thing I knew, I had woken up to find myself in a hospital bed. The moment I opened my eyes, Connor's face loomed over me. He clutched my hand and exclaimed, "Sydney, you're awake! I'm sorry… I'm sorry that it took me so long." It turned out Connor had been the one who had called and saved my life. Tears streamed down my face as I replied, "It's alright. Thank you, Connor."

As everything went hazy, I knew there was no chance of making it out alive. When I opened my eyes again, I had become nothing but a wandering spirit. Looking down, I noticed my phone was on the floor. The phone screen was still lit, showing the connected emergency call. I had been burned alive. All of a sudden, I felt my spirit getting pulled by an invisible force. Following the voice on the phone, I arrived at a different place. It was where Daniel and his unit were. Daniel was gently comforting Laura. "It's okay now. The baby's fine too, so don't worry."

Someone had been secretly sponsoring my tuition and expenses, though I hadn’t known who back then. Now I did. I was the lost daughter of the Devile family. That was why he wanted me. A sigh slipped from my lips. I had died knowing so little in my past life. “Hey.” Kelly nudged my elbow. I blinked. “Huh?” “Were you even listening?” she asked, frowning. I froze, my lips pressing together before a nervous smile formed. “Sorry. I was lost in thought.” “You should stop spacing out,” she said, then paused, staring at the bandage on my forehead. “Are you sure your head is okay?”

When our eyes met, there was a flicker of hope in his gaze. "Mom, could you wash my clothes for me?" His voice trembled. Then he quickly lowered his head, like a child who knew he'd done something wrong–small, pitiful, almost like a frightened quail. He looked utterly miserable. "Your Aunt Maya won't wash them for you? Why come to me? I'm not your mother anymore." I turned to leave, but he grabbed the edge of my clothes. "Mom, do you really not want me anymore? "I know I was wrong. I don't want Aunt Maya to be my mom anymore."

He had lost a lot of weight, and he looked far more haggard than I remembered. He stared at me, his eyes filled with the wild joy of someone who had finally recovered something he thought he had lost forever.

And now I wanted out more than ever. Because I finally understood one thing crystal clear. If I didn’t walk away soon, I’d lose myself completely. And I was done losing things. Especially myself. *****

However, this only encouraged Kevin to hug me tighter, afraid that I would disappear again. "I've finally found you, Evie." His voice was bleak, yet quivering with the agitation of finding something he had lost. I frowned and pushed him away hard. I slapped him. "You've seen everything I left for you, Kevin. How dare you appear in front of me after everything you did!"

"Hey! Take back what you say." "Never!" I exclaimed, getting up and running away from him without looking back. Soon, the next thing I know, I am lost and I left my IPad on the rooftop. "Shoot. I'm gonna be stuck here for millions of years." I whispered. I punched myself mentally. I continued to walk. "Hello? Anybody?" I asked. "I'm lost. I don't want to be stuck here for the rest of my life. You know I have a life out there." I said out loud. "Hello? Anyone?" I asked. "Oh great, I'm stuck here - Ahhhh - "

The Gambino family's highest decree: every Don must be married before taking office. So the moment I came back from studying abroad, my father sent me to intern at the family company run by my fiancé, Ethan Clark—to prepare me for taking over family operations, pave the way for me to become the next Don of the Gambinos, and, you know, build some chemistry between us while we were at it. The first day I walked in, I saw a woman holding court, surrounded by everyone, with everyone deferring to her, calling her "Mrs. Clark" with practiced reverence. She tore up a two-hundred-million-dollar contract, and they all applauded. She spotted the ring on my finger, and they all reached out to take it o
