Sad Truths Novels & Stories

Precious last words re-echoed in her ears. Those fingers that threw papers on her had completely gone cold and lifeless. Those eyes that burned with anger when she spoke to her had closed forever; forever into forever. Those lips that always glowed with lipsticks had looked pale and lifeless...

I don't know what to do, What my future holds, when I will be happy! I am fed up with this damn life! This damn world where happiness is not a feeling of option for me and my family.

A year later, a series of misfortunes struck the Sadler family. Adrian's health took a turn for the worse. One night, after buying liquor, he was struck by a car running a red light and broke both of his legs. Derek hired doctors for his surgery, but Adrian had locked himself in the room and refused treatment. "It's what I deserve," he said. Months later, Derek fell ill and passed away shortly after. The Sadler family went bankrupt, and Adrian vanished overnight. From then on, a new beggar wandered the streets of Tisedale. He planted sunflowers every day. When people asked him why, he would simply say that he was atoning for his mistakes. Yet, the sunflowers always wilted before long.

Even if these aliens looked absurd, it was fun to watch. I noticed someone just join in, then another, then another. I turned my head and paused the video. “I’m not gonna hang myself or stab my heart with this fork.” “You’re not dealing well, Sadie,” Beck said. “Have you ever experienced losing your family, finding out that you’re a subject, a pawn, and that your husband was the cause of all of it? No. Now, give me a break if I am not dealing with my losses.” He sighed. “He saved you.”

0 “I’m ashamed to say I did. I did, but I wish I hadn’t. I’m sorry, Luna. I’m sorry that I haven’t been there for you. When I lost Sadia my world just ended. She was pregnant when she was killed, I lost everything and I just stopped feeling anything. I tried to just end it all, but Zion wouldn’t let me. Deep down I had hoped that Eric would just kill me.” I collapse beside her in the dirt, the guilt of watching Eric torment her after he killed Augusta eats at my soul. I never felt the crushing guilt until now. So many feelings are starting to come back all at once, feelings I had shut down for so long. 0

Calvin shakes his head as his body starts to tremble, but Sadie doesn’t stop there. “You know what happens when an alpha thinks you betrayed him? You become a piranha. They thought I colluded with you to drug him. I ended up in the dungeons, and you can imagine the horrors I saw there. You’re in pain; now imagine a five-foot-two woman going through the exact same thing.” I stumble back and use the wall to hold me up. Her words were crushing me. Tearing me at the seams. Breaking me in ways I never thought I’d break.

Ma'mun laughed, his laughter carried in over the million of lines that connected Bamako to Abuja. "No. Especially since I told her, 'She's alive, just recuperating, so please go and pass your exams' I really couldn't continue seeing her moping everywhere around the house and asking me for information everytime I walk in." Sa'ad laughed lowly. He knew Layla could be very persuasive. "Did you know that someone authorised the publishing of a video where her parents where crying?It was so sad, but it's gone around social media now." Sa'ad didn't speak, Labeebah's life would forever be something that other people used to have fun.

Rena's life force enveloped her like a wild fire. "Back in the days, I used to think Badbloods are evil" she continued. "Now I realized, it is because we gave them reasons to think of us that we are. The humans hate us and then we hate them in return. Look what all of us got of our hatred towards each other, a world where no one is safe. A broken world"

Shawn nodded, trying not to break eye contact. Jade sighed and looked down at her fingers. “We weren't involved in an accident. We were kidnapped. He was a psychopath. He killed my mother. Gave her cuts all over her body and let her bleed. She died in my arms. Slowly and painfully. I was tortured and... And... R***d. Then I was locked up in that dark place, cold, hungry, and afraid. And every day I prayed for death. But it didn't come. Neither did help.” Jade paused as the words stuck in her throat. The tears were forcing their way down her cheeks as she wiped them off.

Wade said still skeptical about this move since he has experienced their cruelty first hand. "But nothing Wade, there isn't any one of them who wouldn't gladly lay down their lives for you" Zach said sternly "Those people are dangerous Zach, do not take them for granted, they did this to me" "Look here Wade, they will pay for this. I practically stood there and watched Abigail die and I couldn't do a damn thing. I cowered in fear, not this time" Zach said with all conviction "It hurts" Wade said sadly "It sure does, just want you to know, we buried her close to Papa and Mama's grave. Just like you asked" Zach said
