Outstanding Move Novels & Stories

“Still!” “We do not offer refunds for your information. If you want to move out, you can. But I doubt you'd be getting any place better than this in the next six months. The pack is stuffed up so you better make do with what you have right now. It's not like he moved into your apartment or anything.” My frustration seemed to be boiling over and I might just explode. That made sense, everything he said and I wanted to accept it so bad, but I was in an existential flux. All hope was lost.

Isabella chipped in, rubbing her hands. "Our target is some block of flats away from us; how do we get to her?” she added. "Well, maybe we don't have to get to her. Maybe she has to get to us.” Owen submitted. “Get to us? How?” Isabella asked as a follow-up. Owen took a deep, anxious breath and said, "We wait.” At that moment, he took a second look at the tab and shone his eyes before he blurted. “We're in luck, guys; she's moving. She's moving." Look at the red cursor; it's moving.”

Ava replied, her tone even. Grace’s gaze sharpened slightly at the word threatened. “I would not call it a threat,” he said, almost lightly. “I would call it a consequence.” Ava’s fingers tightened slightly around the phone, though her voice remained composed. “Then explain your consequence clearly.” There was another pause. “You have an outstanding loan,” he said. “A large one. Secured against your company’s assets. The terms are simple. Half repayment within two weeks. Failure to comply initiates transfer procedures.”

Once they had their say, I ripped my hand away from Cecelia's grasp hard and said sternly, "Cecelia." Cecilia froze as she didn't expect that reaction. Lillian and Isabel quickly sensed something was wrong and exchanged glances. "Maddie, what's wrong?" Cecelia whimpered, squeezing a few drops of crocodile tears. "We will end up homeless if you insist on moving out," she cried. "I still have a huge number of installments in my Apple Pay Later and Klarna accounts to settle." I took out my phone, opened my WhatsApp, and tapped on the "Free Riders Club" group chat.

I groaned, tossing my jacket on the bed. Sarah laughed, low and smooth. “Poor Caleb. Still stuck with that boring little housewife. How do you stand it?” “I won’t have to for much longer.” I sat on the edge of the bed while she poured me a drink. “I’ve been checking the joint account. Those monthly payments from her late aunt’s company are still coming in. Not a fortune, but enough to fund our move to the coast. The payments only last two more years, so I’m draining every cent before I file the papers.”

“Faster than I expected. Whatever associates she’s worried about protecting, she’s already moving to secure them, or silence them, before whatever we supposedly know can be used against them.” “Can we track where the movement’s heading,” Ethan asked. “Working on it,” Reyes said, fingers flying across her keyboard. “There’s definitely a physical component to this, not just financial. Someone’s being moved, or contacted directly, somewhere specific.” She paused, something sharpening in her expression. “There. A property just outside the city, registered under yet another shell name, but this one’s brand new — created only in the last few months, which means it wasn’t part of her original thirt

I reply getting pissed off myself. “No can do. You see we anticipated this move, so we had contingency plans in place,” he says cockily. “What does that mean?” Alpha Samuel asks. “Hmm let me see,” he says looking at his watch, “Right about now Maddie should be on her way to my meet the boss,” he says turning to walk away.

My mom says hugging me tightly and I stiffen because I still haven't told Mason. "Switzerland?" Mason asks looking at me weird. "She got an offer to move there?" My dad says looking between Mason and I probably getting the thought I haven't told him yet. "Oh yeah." Mason says with a fake smile pretending he knew about it. God I hate this. The whole night Mason avoids me, till my parents finally leave. "So you're moving to Switzerland?" He asks when we're finally alone outside the event center. "I don't know yet, I haven't accepted the offer yet." I say.

This sudden change wasn't in my budget at all and this sudden news could crumble me down, completely. She continued speaking, slicing through the silence, “There will be a refund. However, it won't be the exact amount you paid because you've lived here for some time now.” “I need like a month to move out. That's negotiable, right?” I spoke, almost pleading with my tone. She shook her head, “You have five days to move out, Lily. The new owner specifically mentioned everyone should be out of the building in the next five days. I am sorry for the sudden news but I hope you understand?”
