Novel & Cerita Ship Of Fools

The others didn't know what was on her mind, but Lana suddenly explained, "Alex, Ms. Ruth wants you to create an opportunity for Emilia to rebel." "Rebel?" Alex repeated the word before his face lit up. "Got it. Leave everything to me." At that moment, news came again from the people Liam had sent out. "A suspicious cargo ship appeared at the dock last night. No goods were unloaded, and the ship only stayed briefly at the dock. During that time, only a black cloth bag was transported onto the ship." Everyone's chests seized at those words. Liam asked, "Do you know where the ship is headed?"

I want to hit myself in the head, how careless I am to sleep at a stranger's house. “Taxi!” I shouted when I saw a taxi heading on my way. “Where are you headed miss?” The taxi driver asked me. So I gave him my address. But the luck is really not on my side. I left my bag and my phone at the bartender’s house. What is happening in my life? “Mr. I Forgot my wallet, can I use my watch to pay?” I asked the driver shyly. “What? How much is your watch worth? Is that even enough for the fare?” He answered, looking a little mad.

As if I would be kind to her. Yana was momentarily speechless. Hendrix, standing beside her, could not take it anymore. He stepped forward and spoke up, "Yvonne, how could you say that? Yana is just trying to find out the truth of what happened. After all, she's a victim of the shipwreck!" "She's the victim, but am I not?" Hendrix's face turned pale with anger. He pointed at me and shouted, "Yvonne! Yana only wants to know the truth, and you're being utterly unreasonable!"

"Scarlett is the new member of the cheer squad. Your latest competition. A candidate for vice-captain." "What?!!" The word escaped my lips before I could contain it, echoing off the locker-lined walls. Brooklyn's hand found my shoulder, her touch a signal of solidarity and a prelude to the battles we would face together. It was our silent agreement, a pact forged in the unspoken understanding that no matter what, we'd stand united. As I mentally prepared myself for the onslaught to come, I couldn't help but wonder, Can I say FUCK now? I mean, in my head.

Once a Fool, Now a Queen Aurora Sinclair’s POV *** EXTRA CHAPTER 1: THE NIGHT WE WERE JUST US The waves rolled in soft, rhythmic whispers against the shore, the salty breeze tangling in my hair as I stood barefoot on the cool sand. The night was impossibly still, the sky endless above me, painted in deep indigo with flecks of stars that shimmered like scattered diamonds.

But before Miles and Claudia could respond, the police officers who were here with me moved in and cuffed them both on the spot. Due to the overwhelming media presence and the scale of public attention, the two of them were forced to admit their crimes in front of the cameras. They confessed to deceiving investors, coercing and threatening the research staff, and attempting to scam desperate patients with a fake artificial kidney project that had never even reached completion. As the police led them away, officers took the opportunity to deliver a stern public warning against fraud. Watching the two of them being led away in handcuffs, the tension in my body finally released. My limbs went w

"Are you here to congratulate me on my promotion?" "Congratulate you? For what? For taking over a mess that lost a million dollars, or for the company one day abandoning you just like they did Matthew?" I countered. "No, that won't happen," he said, his lips curling into a playful smirk. "Matthew's out. Now that I've taken over, I've at least solved the company's immediate crisis. The truth is, Claire, we're the same kind of people—we never accepted Matthew as our leader.

"Right. Seven years… I lived off stale bread with you. I was there when the debt collectors came banging on our door. I thought we were toughing it out together, but the whole time I was just grinding myself down alone." Audrey shook her head frantically, terror flooding her eyes, looking completely wrecked. "That's not true. I only ever loved you. Micah was nothing, I swear, it was all an act!" "An act?" I echoed it back, flat and quiet. "Handing him the deal that was mine was an act? Sitting with him while he got his wisdom teeth pulled, leaving me to sign my own palliative care papers alone—was that also an act?"

Before they boarded the ship, Ami and Mabel couldn’t help but gawk at the massive ship. For her part, Ami had only seen photos of it when she was in college. The Gonzales’ just purchased the ship and Rain was so proud that the first thing he did was show a photo of it to Ami. Of course over the years, the ship had undergone a makeover to modernize it. It had nearly cost the Gonzales’ their fortune. If not for Mrs. Gonzales’ business acumen, they could have gone bankrupt. Now gazing at it up close, it felt surreal for Ami. Her jaw dropped at the massive size but she at once remembered who she was with so as quickly as she could, she nudged Mabel on her side which earned her a glare. “Close yo

Six years into our long-distance relationship, I tell my girlfriend, Claire Whitmore, that I'm too busy with work to spend her birthday with her. Behind her back, I secretly take the property deed with me and board a ten-hour flight to her city. I want to propose to her in front of all our friends and surprise her. While waiting for my ride, I use my work phone to reply to a few messages, then casually scroll through my social media feed. The first post I see is from my childhood friend, Ryan Cole. "I'm going to be a godfather! My goddaughter is 8.5 pounds. I'm so happy!" I open the photo and see Claire and Damian Pierce posing together, a baby between them. My mind goes completely blan
