One And Only Family Novels & Stories

"What happened this morning ends there. Nico does not leave the elite track because you say so. And whatever you said at the office, I'm treating it as anger." "It wasn't anger." He laughed once. "You're not leaving, Serena." He said it like he already knew. Like four years of waiting had proven it. "You won't walk away," he said. "And you won't cut Nico off from this family." I sealed the last envelope and set it aside. "You can test that." He studied my face, then went upstairs. Claire came the next afternoon. I was in the living room setting up a small birthday dinner for Nico. He had barely spoken since the fire, and I did not want a crowd. Just cake, a few children, and one quiet evenin

I curled up on my bed and lay there motionless. It felt as if my heart was being torn apart. "Was my birth and existence a grave mistake?" I thought bitterly. After I was born, Mom and Dad started splitting every expense evenly. Each of them paid for half of the household costs. They hated each other, and they hated me. By comparison, Zara was the apple of their eye. She had been born when they were in love, so she had always been the child who carried the family's hopes.

“Lori, you must tell me about your family's estate. I've heard the Northern Territory has the most beautiful properties.” “It's lovely,” I managed. “Very… private.” “As private families often are.” Celeste or Colette, I couldn't tell them apart, leaned forward eagerly. “Do you have siblings? Cousins? I'd love to meet more of the family.” “I'm an only child, unfortunately. And my parents prefer to keep to themselves.” “But we are all in-laws now, you know. We need to have one on one conversations with them… It is understandable that they have to keep to themselves,” Eleanor nodded sagely. “Wealth attracts vultures, doesn't it? One must be careful.”

The two family’s had always been close. Bailey Everleigh never thought too much about it until the summer that everything changed. She had been raised with her own family, and theirs was always nearby as well. They did almost everything together. She had always thought it was because both were large families. They understood the way things were done in them that people who didn’t have eight-plus kids could never.

Celeste didn’t notice the change in Liam's expression and smiled at Benham softly before answering. "Well there's nothing special about me to mention. I'm just an ordinary person who moved here 8 months ago for work and I have no one to call a family." Celeste finished with a soft smile. Benham looked at her with a sympathetic smile which Celeste hated. Meanwhile Liam sat there feeling numb. He didn’t know why, when she said she had no one to call a family pained him. It made him feel suffocated. "You are my family." Thank you for giving me this beautiful family!"

We were just strangers, but in just one night, we ended up like this— a happy couple. Me, Mrs. Charmane Cordova Hernandez, a blessed and contented wife of Mr. Bradley Hernandez and the happiest mother of Sam and Princess. Having a family is like having the greatest treasures on earth.

Definitely not what someone would expect such things to sound like. Silence fell upon them, the two creatures that were present looking at the girl, while she kept humming to herself, convincing her small mind that it was just a bad dream and that her mom would come to wake her up and offer her to sleep in her bed. She didn't think about her dad, they didn't have the same relationship. Richard was always working, barely spending time at home and only coming back when night time came and he didn't have somewhere to go.

"And who is this?" Sebastian's expression didn't waver. He extended his hand smoothly. "Sebastian Hale. I'm a friend of Audrey's." Her mother's gaze lingered on his hand, clearly assessing him with newfound interest. "Hale... as in the Hales who own Hale Industries?" She seemed almost amused, the surprise flickering in her eyes. "Well, it's not every day my daughter entertains such... high-profile company." The pointed emphasis was impossible to miss. Audrey's cheeks flushed, a mixture of embarrassment and anger simmering within her.
