The timestamp read 02:13:47. Three young doctors in scrubs sat on the floor against the wall. One was asleep with their arms around their knees. Another had their head tipped back against the wall. The account that posted it was called [RainDoesntWant2Work]. Her bio said she was an intern at our hospital. Her post read:

she blurted, eyes wide. Zane raised an eyebrow. “Didn’t say you were.” “You’re thinking it.” A slow grin crept onto his face. “Now I am.” Maya cursed under her breath and snatched the last book from his hand. “This school is a nightmare.” Zane leaned against the wall like he had all the time in the world. “It’s entertaining, if you don’t take it too seriously.” “I don’t want to be part of the entertainment,” she snapped, slinging her bag over her shoulder.

The man's face was covered by the large hoodie he wore and he was leaning forward on the counter. "Welcome to the Crystal Point local library. Can I help you with anything?" Chima asked any he walked over to the other side of the counter. The man raised his head up so only Chima could see him. Chima's face blanched for a second before becoming stoic almost immediately. I frowned, was something wrong? "Jeff, could you please get me the check out book from the storage room?" I glanced between the two men worriedly. China had never called me by my first name before. I was always Bejide to him.

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."

At the estate, where lilies of the valley swayed gently, Grace and I solemnly pledged our lives to each other before countless eyes. When we were finally alone, I told Grace a story about past and present lives. She didn't say a word after listening, but her eyes suddenly darkened, and then she kissed me. Afterward, I held her tightly and asked the question that had troubled me for two lifetimes. "Have we met before? When did you fall in love with me?" Grace pressed a kiss to my forehead. "The first time we met was at your coming-of-age ceremony." I froze for a moment.

] I checked the name—it was from someone I didn't know well. I replied, [Yeah.] The message came again. [Does Chandler know?] [Of course he does.] I found the question odd, so I asked, [Is there something wrong, Mr. Vasquez?] Winton Vasquez, the CEO of Evergreen Ventures and also a fellow alum of both Chandler and me, replied with a loaded tone, [It's nothing. Just seems like you don't really keep up with domestic entertainment news.] Entertainment news? That puzzled me further. True, I didn't follow celebrity gossip, but so what?

In a feverish haze, I heard the doorbell ring. The delivery guy called out, "Delivery for Mr. Hendrick." I smiled as I took it from the delivery guy and thanked him. I was going to laugh at James for being childish. After all, before falling asleep, I had only mentioned that I had a fever. Yet he had already ordered medicine for me. However, when I opened the delivery bag and saw what was inside, my expression froze. Condoms and lubricant were right there in plain sight, and even the toy in my hand made my head spin. Just as I took out my phone, ready to demand an explanation from my husband, a text message suddenly popped up. "This is Sangland Resortworld. Dear Mr. Hendrick, we are de

But anxiety, curiosity, and a searing need to know drove me there. The first two drawers of the cabinet were filled with ledgers and old financial records. I was ready to quit when I saw a black notebook behind a stack of files. It had an old leather cover, curled edges, and a cracked spine as if it had been held tightly too many times. I opened it. The handwriting was unmistakably Elias's. It started out looking like a logbook. There were coordinates, and shipment manifests. But halfway in, the entries… changed. It became personal. Some names were crossed out and there were abstract references to fires as well as a handwritten note in the margin that read:

Said the man over the phone, making her body tense. She applied for an interview with that company a month ago. She had already given up after waiting for a month with no reply from them, she had many reasons and the main one is because she never wanted to return to the USA again. Their silence just made her more confident on her decisions but then who would've thought that they'd look for her today? "Um…Yes, this is Mrs Fletchers" she said with hesitation in her voice, feeling her hands becoming sweaty on the steering wheel. "Okay then, Mrs Fletchers has applied for a job at our company last week, if i am right" he went on inquiring. "Ah yes, yes I have" she replied, holding her breath wait

He said, "No matter when it happened, It happened and I will take care of Us baby. You, Me, and our unborn baby. I am ready to take on whatever life throws Us, my love." He kissed me and I smiled and said It's Us against the world, my love. Book 2 is Titled Forever Us
