Novel & Cerita Open Eyes My Heart

Inhale. Exhale. But the rhythm inside her resisted. Her heartbeat did not match her breathing anymore. It was drifting. Syncing with something else. Something invisible. She leaned slightly against the corridor wall. “Okay,” she whispered. “Okay, stay calm.” But her body did not agree. The pulse increased. Faster now. Not painful yet. Just wrong. She closed her eyes briefly. And in that moment, she saw it. Not visually. Sensory. A second rhythm.

But the moment she turned her back on me, I felt it again-Derick's eyes, persistent, boring deep into me as though he was looking right through me. I bit the inside of my cheek, the feeling too much to bear. I had no idea why it was being so.exposing. So exposed. His presence was overpowering, filling the room in such a way that made me want to run and hide. But something made me glance up. The instant his eyes met mine, I caught my breath. The darkness of his eyes appeared to penetrate me and I braced myself. I could not look away, though every fiber of me cried out to do so.

"Lylith, you always said you wanted a private island. But since you can't stand the cold, it has to be drenched in sunshine year-round." "You told me you envied birds—how they could soar freely and see the whole world beneath them. So I bought millions of drones behind her back. Now you can see every corner of the earth from above." "You used to say that tattooing a lover's name meant you'd be bound together forever. I couldn't stand the idea of you going through that pain, so I lied and told you I hated tattoos. If anyone's going to do something that reckless, it'll be me."

I keep trying to keep my eye open, but I am exhausted. My eye shoots open when I hear the sounds of screams coming from the distance. Unable to stop the smile that appeared on my face. Someone is my avenging angel, and I know in my heart who it is. As the door opens, I can barely see who stands there. My vision is distorted, and I don’t know if I am imagining him.

Melissa's heart clenched as the memories of the secluded place she used to visit with Kaia and her dad resurfaced. Tears welled up in her eyes as she realized that this hidden haven held a profound significance for her daughter. The emotions, once buried deep within her heart, now flooded to the surface.

My heart danced like it is in an honey pool. "I love you Cora " Oh God. He said he loves me. This is everything. God I am the happiest person in the world right now. East says he loves me. "I love you too" He smiled at me, caressing my hair. My heart danced. It fluttered. The aching is gone. I don't feel pain anymore. East said he..... ************************************ My eyes peeled open. My heart ached. It was like I was snatched back to reality.

My vision turned blurry as I closed my eyes, enjoying the sound of his heart beating in my ear. “I know.”

“And focus on the beat of my heart.” I’m pleased when she does as she’s told, closing her eyes warily as I shift her hand up and over my heart. I, too, close my eyes, feeling the rhythm in my ears. “There’s your beat,” I say softly, pulling her forward into the middle of the stage. “Keep your eyes closed. Dance to it.”
