Starting Over Without You Mga Nobela at Kwento

I smiled and said, “I am here to talk to you about something. Would you like to hear it?” “Sure,” she said. “I would like to start over,” I blurted. “What do you mean?” she said, her head tilted in perplexity. So cute! “Us. I want to start over. Even though I am aware of how chaotic things are, I am still not prepared for the most beautiful girl to escape my grasp. So let’s start over. Please get me another chance. A real chance,” I said. She will undoubtedly have her doubts, but I have to take a chance.

Maries Pov: The wind whipped past me so fast as I continued to run, heading to nowhere in particular as long as I was far away from him. I could hear Sam call my name right behind me, but I continued to go wherever my legs took me. I just couldn’t believe it, I kept telling myself that he wasn’t the one that my brain just made up an image of him. It just couldn’t be him, after how many years, and then he just suddenly appeared from nowhere when I had decided to move on.

He was staring up at me, his mouth slightly open, his hands still suspended in the empty air where mine used to be. "I have no hard feelings against you," I said, looking into his eyes with total clarity. "I've forgiven you, Mason. Truly. I forgive all of it." His chest expanded with a desperate gasp of air, his eyes widening. "Then—" "I stood up," I continued, interrupting him softly, "because I have already started over." He blinked, thrown off, his eyebrows drawing together in confusion. "What?" "I've already started over, Mason," I repeated, letting the words sit comfortably in the warm air between us. "Just... without you."

“Your résumé said Lia Hart. But when I signed your paperwork, something didn’t add up. The timeline, the references… they were too clean. Too perfect.” My pulse spiked. He noticed but didn’t look away from the road. “Relax. I’m not accusing you of anything. I just… recognize the need to disappear.” I let out a slow breath, my chest tight. “You don’t know what you’re talking about.” He smiled faintly. “Maybe not. But I know what it feels like to lose everything you built—and to want to be someone new.” That silenced me. I turned my gaze to the city lights outside, my reflection faintly visible in the window. “Why did you start over?” I asked before I could stop myself.

My jaw drops at his comment, and he shrugs, fading away. "Wait, nothing was resolved!" I cry out. "The wolf one is waking you up." he replies, giving me a little wave.

“Let’s end things and start all over again.” “Huh?” “I can’t let go of an opportunity to be with you but with such a crazy history behind us, we need to start all over again.” Drake didn’t look disturbed anymore. He had one of his brows perked as he tried to make sense of her words. “How are we going to do that?”

Luca looked at me like he was hanging off the edge of a cliff. "If Sylvia had never existed… Would you still give me a chance?" I shook my head without hesitation. "No. Without respect or trust, even spouses become strangers. Our story ended the moment you decided to lie."

I took a deep breath and said, "I'm not. I just don't want you to feel disgusted by me." Jake was speechless, as if a thought had suddenly crossed his mind. "Sorry to burst your bubble, but I've never gotten an abortion before," I added. Jake was completely flabbergasted. His face paled as he mustered meekly, "I..." I unbuckled my seatbelt and reminded him, "Return this to me after signing it. Don't make me wait too long."

Zoe’s voice shook with the weight of old wounds. “I became Zoe Larson. I worked during the day and studied at night, grabbing every opportunity I could. I went to college, earned a master’s degree overseas, found a job, and eventually co-founded my own company. I left my past behind and built a new life, one I could truly call my own.”

"When Yvie graduates, we'll let her intern at the company, and eventually take over the group. We can be a family again. Isn't that nice?" He still hadn't changed. He still thought that I would go along with everything he said. Unfortunately, feelings were susceptible to change. Not everyone was only after money. I still remembered those humiliating days, and how uglily he had behaved toward me during it all. Now, I had to take responsibility for myself. A rose with thorns was more beautiful than anything. I plucked a rose from the ground and took a whiff before saying, "My life is complete now. I don't need you messing it up and making it harder."
