Reverse Falls Mabel Novels & Stories

"Anyway, he seemed more interested in the show of the pole dance girls, especially Mabel. I pointed to the dancer who had just gotten up, turning around the tables that formed small shells with their high benches, and throwing goodbye kisses to us. Dennis jumped so fast from his place that even I got dizzy. Zachary, on the other hand, still looked at me with extreme care. I had two miserable seconds watching how quickly your eyes passed from the photo to my face, before a weight hit my shoulder and my arms stretched in reflection to trim Kendall's fall. My friend fell against the counter, and in the process clung to the loose pendant of my clover necklace, almost stealing my air with an acci

“Alright, Mabel. Your turn.” Mabel's face tightens as she places her hands flat on the table, drawing in a sharp breath. “Well, while everyone’s pretending this is some sort of happy event, I’m not. I know you're doing this to hurt Mike, Desiree. You can fool everyone else, but not me. Caspian may not see it now, but I do. And I want you to think long and hard about whether this is really worth it. It’s not too late to call this off and end this madness. Mike’s moved on, Desiree. You should too. End this before you regret it.” The table is silent, everyone waiting for my reaction. I simply smile, my voice steady and unbothered. “Thank you, Mabel. And Mike? Do you have something to add?”

I didn't have a room. "Skylar!" Hearing his voice had my heart racing with fear, I walked down the stairs to meet him in the hallway. There was a door under the stairs, probably to the basement which is where they made me sleep last time. My step-father stood there with the door open. Suddenly he shoved me and I slipped, falling down each step. Rolo barked and growled at him, earning a kick for himself before he too got locked in the basement with me. I swear I heard him lock it with a key. There were three lights down here, they were fairly dim, the floor had been carpeted thankfully, a single mattress lay in one corner of the room no bedframe, a dog bed next to it with the dogs food and wa

The people in it were clearly Josh and Whitney. Whitney wiped her tears, confidence returning to her face. "Josh, if you take one more step, I'll send this to Yvette. Tell me, after she finds out about your little stand-in game, do you think she'll still stay with you?" Josh staggered back, disbelief written all over his face, veins standing out along his neck. He lunged for her phone, but stumbled and fell hard onto the sand. The others, sensing things were going wrong, rushed to persuade him.

Kael said coldly, “is my mate.” The entire chamber froze. No one breathed. No one moved. Marcus barely finished speaking. “And that’s the problem,” he muttered. Kael moved. One second he was standing across the room. The next he was in front of Marcus. No one saw him cross the distance. Several elders actually flinched in shock. A chair crashed backward. Marcus let out a strangled gasp as Kael’s hand wrapped around his throat and lifted him clean out of his seat. The council table splintered beneath the force.

Everything felt wrong, fundamentally so—in a way that I couldn’t even begin to understand. I always thought that the hole leading to different dimensions was just flat, 2-D and you could get to your destination as soon as you walked in. I didn’t think it’d be this vast and complex. A way that made my human brain want to shut down completely. And then, suddenly, within the blink of an eye, we were falling. I screamed the entire way down until we slammed hard into the ground—actual, solid ground—and I sucked in a sharp breath of air so cold it burned my lungs. Snow. We’d landed in snow, the powder so deep it rose past my knees.

That afternoon, a disheveled Mabel cornered me in a café. She glanced around nervously, relaxing only when she confirmed Alain was not with me. I sized her up discreetly. She looked like she had just gone through something terrifying. Fear was evident in her eyes, and her mental state seemed precarious. "I'll give Alain back to you," she said, her voice trembling. "In exchange, I want one million dollars. Once I have the money, I'll disappear forever and never interfere in your marriage again."

She was going to help Noami clear the table. "The meal was delicious." Gabby said and Frederick agreed with him, "Yes, Noami is a good cook. I will be looking forward to eating her meal every time." Noami blushed slightly and began packing the plates. She accidentally spilled water from one of the glass cups on the floor and went into the kitchen. Kristen, unaware of the spilled water, walked after her, she took two steps and she slipped with everything in her hand flying. When she thought she was really going to fall, she crushed on a hard chest.

A mistake in the underlying code had triggered a crash in the chain system. The engineers were already overwhelmed. When they saw me walk in, their eyes held a mix of expectation and embarrassment. I didn’t respond to any of it. I sat down and connected to the system. Memories of every system upgrade and custom request Apex had gone through, buried deep in my mind, surged forward instantly. An hour later, the alarms stopped, and the data was restored. Mr. Johnson’s call came directly to my phone. “Lily, thank you! I knew you’d handle it!”

I looked back only to see Nana holding her chest with one hand, her face red. My heart stopped. I stood up from Iris immediately and ran towards her. Her face twisted in pain and her phone dropped to the ground. She swayed. Then collapsed. I ran faster, barely catching her before her body hit he ground. "Call 911" I yelled.
