So The Nightmare Begins Again Novels & Stories

She was never going to surrender to him; he bought her, but he couldn't buy her life. She was going to make sure she made his life a living nightmare. She was going to make him regret ever buying her and let her go. Yes, he was going to release her himself when he got tired of her. She grinned; he didn't know what he bought. He had just purchased a nightmare, and that nightmare was hers.

“I hate you.” “Love you too,” she said sweetly, sipping her coffee. The rest of breakfast passed in comfortable silence, the kind I hadn’t realized I needed. But once the plate was clean and the kitchen noises quieted, the weight returned. It always did. By noon, I was pacing my room. I told myself I was just thinking, but I wasn’t. I was spiraling. I thought about ignoring the message. Pretending like it hadn’t happened. But Mason Andrews didn’t take well to being ignored.

I raised my fists but my legs could not move. It felt like I was pinned down to where I was while I watched them walk away. As I watched what they were doing, I finally realized what was happening. "No!" I screamed hysterically as I lunged forward. The black box passed through my body and landed right into the burning fire. As I watched the black box become one with the garbage around, I could no longer control myself as I screamed. "Arghhhhh….!" … I jerked up from bed. My familiar surroundings slowly pulled me back to reality.

Nova!!! My mom’s voice cut through my sleep like a chainsaw. I groaned, rolled over, and cracked one eye open. Falling asleep last night had been a war I clearly lost, judging by the daylight seeping into my room. Nova!! she yelled again. “I’m up!” I shouted back. “I’m up!” “Then get ready!” she called. “Your brother’s threatening to leave without you.” Crap. Arnold never makes empty threats. He’ll leave me faster than background actors running from danger in a bad action movie.

No one gets to even breathe the same air as her again. I really have to get to work but I can’t fathom waking her up right now. I want to have her again this morning. I wonder if she would be open to it…. Ally POV I slept with an engaged man. I am definitely going to hell. I cannot believe I did that. What in the actual fuck was I thinking? I have to get home.

[Welcome to Eternal Nightmare. Survival is victory.] The cold, robotic female voice blasted through the dark while I was sprawled on the couch doomscrolling. The next second, a white flash nuked my vision and forced my eyes shut. When I opened them again, my living room had straight-up rage quit and turned into a blood-red wasteland. "Okay, what the hell?" I squinted and spotted my six-foot-two husband, Adrian Chase, already doing the whole protective-dad thing with one arm around our son.

Nyra went to the office to look for me, only to be told by Matteo that I had already applied for a transfer back to Myrthia. She trembled as she asked when I had submitted the application. Without hesitation, Matteo answered, "The day of his birthday." As Nyra left my office, the events of my birthday began to play on a loop in her mind. She couldn't get it. On that day, she had forgotten my birthday and brought up the idea of a fake divorce. Why did I suddenly decide to go back home?
