One Last Pic And I'll Be Gone Novels & Stories

And with them…Arianna. Brought to the family home where she had been meant to meet my family for the first time and now it was for the last time. My throat closed painfully. I stepped forward one last time toward the framed picture on the table. Then gently pressed two fingers to my lips before touching them softly against the glass over hers. “Goodbye, sweet girl,” I whispered. My voice cracked completely. “I love you.” The truth came too late. Far too late. “I’m just sorry I never got the chance to tell you and show you when it mattered.”

Gone. That was the last time I saw him.

Morana’s POV The villa packed up faster than it should have. Five days of pretending the real world didn’t exist and suddenly the real world was in the car waiting. I took one last photograph from the terrace before we left. The pool. The water beyond it. The lemon trees doing their thing in the morning light. Posted it with a single word. Goodbye.

"Destroy her manuscript (Completed)." "Cheat on her (In progress)." The last line made my pupils narrow. My phone buzzed at the same time. "I only have four days left. She brought up divorce yesterday, but the progress bar showed that she didn't hate my guts. I'm going for the final step. I found an actor who'd work with me. I'm bringing her home this afternoon."

I can’t believe you. “Hey, I’m your best friend for a reason. I’m where I know what’s best for you.” “Come home when you’re done. I need movie marathon and some ice cream.” “Be home soon Sweetie. love you.” “Waiting, love you too. Bye” I look at the copy one last time. Now I have the copy, I know what to do next. I take a deep breath To face the devil himself.
