One Year After Novels & Stories

“Look, you have got to ask yourself certain questions. One is, what do you want now? Do you like Damon Calderon? Are you ready to forfeit your own happiness just so people won't talk?” I nodded in agreement to everything she said and more. I had to think of me now. This was the right time to do that. For the past years, I had literally abstained for a solid six years in a row, and in the past sixteen years, every single sexual moment I had, had been driven by homones when I couldn't have it anymore. Every single sexual moment except what I had with Damon. And Declan. Declan! That was as an issue too, in fact, more of an issue. I really didn't know what to think about him anymore. I didn't kn

“After a year. Then… what?” That was the question that kept me awake at night. The contract was thorough about that first year, what I could and couldn’t do, where I could and couldn’t go. “The silence clause,” I murmured. “I can’t discuss the arrangement with anyone in my family. Can’t speak to the media. Can’t write about it, post about it, or even write a journal about it in detail.” “Can he enforce that?” “He’s Eden Cross. He can enforce anything he wants.”

I told him I was engaged, that I had a new life now, and that he should stop forcing Kael to waste his time here. But even after that call, Kael remained outside the gates for another month, sometimes only to catch a glimpse of me through the car window. The first person to lose patience was Kane.

One year after a woman stood at a hospital entrance, a man turned toward her and said her name, as if it meant something. The year is complete. What came from it is not finished. It is simply, finally, fully underway.

"No, I do not know her. She's definitely one of my die hard fan!" That was the last thing heard before running off, while holding on to something just to prevent her from falling or breaking down. "How could I expect him to still remember me? I must really think highly of myself to think Stanley would want to have anything to do with me! I freaking left him five years ago without a damn words!" By now, Amelia was walking through the long narrow passage that leads to her way out. She was staggering while walking and at the same time talking to herself which attract some customers stares when she got to the reception.

Lily’s POV One Year Later It’s been one whole year since Kai and I had our wedding and marking ceremony. I can’t believe how fast time has flown. It has truly been the best, most beautiful year of our lives. Our twins, Varian and Miriella, are already a year old and they’re the sweetest little angels I’ve ever known. Every day with them is a blessing, even when they wake us up in the middle of the night with their loud cries or when they smear food all over their cute little faces. I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

The Wrong Vow, My Perfect Match Chapter 135: The Promise of Tomorrow A year passed. Not all at once. One day at a time. One sunrise. One sunset. One tomorrow after another. The way life had always been meant to move. The anniversary arrived quietly. No one marked it on a calendar. No one announced it. Yet somehow all of them felt it. A full year since the dream ended. A full year since reality moved forward. A full year since Ama had written a single word on a blank page.

When he offers her a marriage to secure his inheritance, she agrees, hoping for more. But after one cruel night, she runs away… carrying his secret baby. Now, with her child’s life in danger, Nancy must return to the man who once shattered her—unsure if he’ll save them or break her again.

Severin then nodded with a smile. "It is, but we will have to wait one year. That is why you must break through to level nine grandmaster in the span of one year!" "Okay. I'll do my best!" Diane nodded happily. However, Severin frowned again and said, "That's not all though. I was also entrusted with a lot of missions." "Missions? What sort of missions?" Diane looked puzzled.

It’s just for one year I kept repeating to myself. Just One Year. What possibly could happen in just one year that hasn't happened in the last seventeen? This was no biggies, all I had to do was find Ally and she would get me through the day. "Kaya!" I would know that voice from anywhere. Step number one already covered and I hadn’t even taken my first step. So far, so good.
