See You Never, Mr. One-minute Novels & Stories

I just wore my heels and walked over to the door, and as I unlocked the door, I saw him sit up fast, taking off his glasses. “Wait,” he yelled, his voice hoarse. I paused, my hand on the doorknob now. I looked over my shoulder. Waiting… “When… when do I get to see you again?” he asked, voice merely above a whisper. I turned fully, a wide, predatory grin spreading across my face. I let my eyes rake over his disheveled, shameful state, savoring the complete victory. Then with a wink, I answered, “Never.” With that, I unlocked the door, opened it, and stepped out into the hallway. It gets boring when they are compliant from the start, so… I only have a pleasurable session with them once.

The way he freezes is almost funny. I fold my arms, staring him down. “What? Forget your place?” The others notice the tension now. “Yeah, what happened?” one of them pipes up. “Why’d you interrupt them? Mike, what’s wrong with you?” Olivia glides over, all sugary concern. “What’s the problem, honey?” Mike clears his throat. “Well… their time was already up.” “I wasn’t aware there was a timer,” I say, raising a brow. “No one said anything about the lap dance being timed… or is there something I’m missing?”

I say slowly feeling my flesh leave my body. "I love you so much Aaron. Never forget that." I say ending my voice message then I feel my eyes slowly shutting. I collapse not long after.

“Let me see your face.” ***

"If you shout, I will push this blade three inches into your renal artery. You will bleed out internally before the dessert course is served." Yoon froze. His eyes bulged. The color drained from his flushed face instantly. "W-what?" Yoon stammered. "Smile," Min commanded. "We are old friends. We are going to have a private chat. Now." Min looked at Jun. "Darling, get Mr. Yoon a fresh napkin. Meet us by the North door." "Yes... David," Jun said, his voice shaking. Min steered the paralyzed Yoon through the crowd. To the onlookers, it looked like a concerned friend helping a drunk man navigate the room. Min’s grip was unyielding.

You have twenty minutes. Jake.

Liam stammered, his words incoherent. "Please, just let me hold Cecilia one last time, I beg you." His eyes were filled with tears. How ironic—and I thought Liam would never shed a tear. I hesitated. After all, Liam was Cecilia's father and the man she had longed to see one last time before she passed away. Just as I was about to hand over the urn in my arms, a voice rang out. "My dear Liam." Mia had arrived without me noticing. She gently wiped away Liam's tears. Her voice was filled with sorrow.

In that instant, all sound in the square vanished. Even the wind seemed frozen still. The mocking sneers from moments ago were now swallowed by shock. Color drained from Kael's face. The fury that had filled his eyes a second ago shattered, leaving nothing but disbelief and confusion. "No… Impossible…" His voice came out dry and rough, like sand against stone. His brows furrowed as he stared at me. "You loved me so much. How could you be someone else's mate?"

Diana freaked, pacing like a caged animal. Clarke Group had been their entire life—now it was going down in flames. Only Mira didn't flinch. The second she saw Vincent, she launched into full-on panic. "Vincent, please let me out, okay? I was wrong, I swear. Don't lock me in here anymore, I'm freaking out. There's rats and roaches everywhere—I swear they're biting my feet. Please, just let me out." "Let you out?" He tilted his head, voice sharp with mockery. "Sure. But only one of you gets to leave—you or your parents. You pick."

I vaguely caught sight of the name "Ivy Hummer" After hanging up, Oliver didn't even spare me a glance before heading out the door, grabbing his jacket from the couch as he went. All of a sudden, I had a bad feeling in my gut. I quickly pulled him back and asked, "Where are you going? If we don't get engaged today, you might not get the chance again, even if you wanted to." Oliver scoffed scornfully. "Sienna Jones, are you sure that that day will ever come?"
