Precious Hearts Romances Book Novels & Stories

"Why can you be like that with her, but not with me?" The wind, cold and biting, slipped through the window and swept between us. I suddenly thought back to an incident that happened during the five years I spent with Jessica. After we argued again over something trivial, she had stormed out, slamming the door behind her. The pieces of the broken plate on the floor of the apartment glistened in the afternoon sun, casting harsh reflections that seemed to strike at my heart. I bent down and pulled out a book I had once given her, the one she used to prop up the wonky table leg—The Myth of Sisyphus.

A small, strained sigh escaped her lips as she tentatively opened the book. The first words that caught her eye made her breath hitch, and she could feel tears pricking at the corner of her eyes. 'I still get butterflies even though I've seen you a hundred times.' Sophia could feel her heartbeat slow down as she read through the pages, each word reminding her of a beautiful past she had ruined with her own hands. Every morning, Luke would send her those cute texts, bringing a smile to her face as she read them and she made sure to write down each one he sent.

my voice came out softer than intended, my pitch falling with every word. Then I realized just how close we were. Our faces were barely inches apart. I could feel his breath on my lips, warm and slow.. And I didn’t move. Neither did he. I could see in his eyes that he was just holding himself back. He reached for my hands and slowly placed it on his exposed chest— right over his heart. Without breaking our intense gaze. “Here,” he murmured. I opened my mouth to speak—anything—but the only sound that escaped was a soft gasp… more like a moan escaped my lips.

Quietly, I asked, "Joan, do you know why I got my hands on Jonathan's riches in my previous life? Yes, my obedience played a part, but knowing all their dirt was another. "Jonathan had AIDS. His dad got it from one of Jonathan's parties as well. I never let Jonathan sleep with me in our whole marriage. When I found out about his… condition, I agreed to have an IVF baby with Jonathan to keep the Pearson bloodline running. The riches? They were for my baby. "I suggest you focus on the Pearsons. Coming after me is just going to be a waste of your precious little time." Then, I smiled, went back up the stage, and held hands with Gilbert. Our fingers were entwined.

I clung to the door handle until my knuckles blanched, nails biting into my skin. I barely noticed the pain. Silent tears traced cold paths down my cheeks, falling to the floor below. I finally understood. Ryan had never wanted me. His proposal, his patience, the three years he spent pretending to love me, all of it had been for Olivia. I was not his future. I was only his penance. The voices inside continued. Caleb spoke first, his voice heavy with something that almost sounded like regret.

I lift the lid of the next box and pause when I see a delicate gold necklace resting inside, the thin chain curling against black velvet with a small diamond at the center. Beside it is a folded note. My stomach tightens as soon as I recognize the handwriting. I open it quickly, just enough to read the message. Enjoy, baby girl, Secret admirer Before Penelope can notice, I crumple the note and slide it back into the box. “See?” I say, holding up the necklace with a playful smile. “Perks of the job.” Penelope sighs dramatically and drops the heels onto the couch.

That night I lay awake listening to the house settle, my body still humming, already counting the hours until I could have her again. The last day and a half passed in the same careful tension. We stole what we could — a heated kiss in the laundry room while the machine ran, Isabella’s hand sliding between my legs in the pantry, my muffled moan against her neck as I came on her fingers in under a minute. On the final morning Chloe came back and packed with cheerful mood. Isabella stood in the doorway of the guest room watching her daughter fold her clothes. I hovered in the hallway. When Chloe went to the bathroom, Isabella pulled me into the room and kissed me hard and fast.

He handed іt over smiling but thеrе wаѕ a lооk оf hesitancy іn his eyes, whісh mаdе me ԛuеѕtіоn hіѕ gіft.

I let out a sigh and let my body fall onto the floor, my back was touching the shelf on the wall filled with different books. "How am I supposed to find the book?" I did not know if I was expecting the book to answer my question considering I was alone in the library, I managed to sneak inside once I ensured no one was around. The library had hundreds of books except for the book with red velvet cover. After I returned from the forest I was eager to find the book, Bernadette was not talking to me either. The list of people who were avoiding me kept increasing daily, first it was Alpha Orion and then Bernadette.
