Outstanding Move Novels & Stories

Adds two stars next to it. The rental notice snaps once in the wind. Maya writes down the number. She does not call it yet.

"The landlord filed this morning. You have 72 hours to vacate." My stomach dropped. "Also inside is an offer," he continued. "From Millhaven Collection Services. They've agreed to take over the debt. Freeze the interest for six months. No legal action if you comply." "And what's the catch?" "You move to Millhaven," he said. "Register the address. Check in monthly. Start payments in six months, minimum $400 a month. Miss two payments, and the freeze lifts. We go back to court." "Where the hell is Millhaven?"

"I just want her to know she has no right to make a scene. She can lose me at any time." And I, in the next room, kept calling his name until the last of my strength was gone. Then I finally closed my eyes. Several hours later, Julian walked out of the studio fully dressed. Two men approached him. They looked satisfied and excited, scrolling through an auction livestream on a phone. "Incredible. That figure has to be at least a D." "Ha, when the auction starts, I'm buying one no matter what." Julian accidentally glanced at the phone. He rushed over and grabbed the man's collar, eyes bloodshot.

LUNA I fucked up. Royally. He deserves it. I really meant what I said. But I still fucked it up. I should have kept my mouth shut. I can’t get un-kidnapped now. That wasn’t part of the plan or whatever plan my clumsy mind drafted. Footsteps hurled outside my door. Imagine building a castle and somehow becoming a miser when it comes to the walls. Alessando, at least, can make these walls and doors soundproof.

My toilet doesn't even work properly! ‘This building needs maintenance!', he fired back, ‘It needs to be redeveloped and that takes money, if you can't handle the bills then you're free to move the fuck out!'. ‘I will by the end of the month!', she stomped on the letter given to her, ‘I'll move out of this miserly place so can I be excused now? I'm late for work!'.

Deborah hated it every time Silvia picked up Jim’s phone, leaving her no choice but to accept her words excusing him. But on Wednesday, she was glad to hear her pick up. Deborah confirmed Jim remembered the live stream scheduled for that afternoon, and smiled to herself when Silvia used the plural about being in her office in a couple of hours.

Chuckling, I texted her back, "It's fine. They're just temporarily having a hard time adjusting to the change. They still have Elaine anyway, so they'll be fine without it." Instead of responding to me through text, Jenny sent me two videos.

I said sorry. "It's late, I'm done fighting. Get some sleep. Ella and Lucy are gone. I cut them off. You saw—haven't brought them back." Yeah, because he bought them their own house. And somehow, he still slept just fine. *** Next morning, I marched straight to Ella's. "You've got half a day to move. Call someone or I will. Out of pity for your sad single-mom act, I won't even charge you if I do it myself."

Foster didn't waste time. "Mr. Valemont, I'm here regarding the loan taken out by Valemont Estate in March of 2022," he began, pulling documents from his expensive leather briefcase. "You are currently three payments behind. The total outstanding balance, including interest and penalties, is forty-two thousand dollars." Forty-two thousand. The number hit me like a punch to the gut, even though I already knew it was close to that. "We're working on it," I said, keeping my voice steady while panic flared inside me. "We had a difficult winter. Fewer tourists than expected. But spring season is starting and—"

"Here's five million dollars. Don't suffer while you're abroad. Call us if anything happens." I did not refuse. Instead, I kept the bank card and patted Marianne's hand comfortingly. "Don't cry, Marianne. It's not like I'm not coming back." Marianne looked up in surprise and asked, "Really?" "Of course. If I don't come back, who will take care of you?" The two of them beamed and urged me to eat more, saying I would not be able to enjoy such delicious food abroad. I nodded in agreement.
