Staying Power Book Novels & Stories

“Words aren’t trust.” Trust meant staying. Showing up. Choosing someone even when it scared you. And he hadn’t done any of that. He stared at the city lights outside — bright, distant, unreachable. For the first time, the skyline felt like a cage instead of an achievement. He’d spent a lifetime building a fortress of power, and now he was trapped inside it. Because power could rebuild companies. It could buy loyalty. It could silence rumors. But it couldn’t make someone stay. And it couldn’t fix the moment she stopped believing in him.

Dear readers, this book has been placed on Hiatus at the moment as I’m currently busy with my other book. I’m not abandoning this book but I don’t want to update two books at the same time. Hopefully, I’ll be done with FALL FOR THE HUNTER’S DAUGHTER sooner than later and I’ll be able to complete POWERLESS. Thanks for the support ❤️

He replied. I sat up fully, pulling the sheets around me as I turned to face him. "Money is fleeting. It can be given, it can be taken away. No amount of money you give me will ever make me truly untouchable. But power? The right kind of power? That’s what makes a person unstoppable. It’s what makes people bow when you walk into a room, what keeps your name untarnished, what ensures that no one, no man, no law, no circumstance can dictate your life."

Hattiea shuddered at his action as she started to struggle pulling the knob desperately but she failed again. He was not letting her go. "Quit toying me woman, I cannot afford to lose you now that I have found again..." A SHORT AUTHOR NOTE I would be delighted to see your kind reviews on the story because obviously, I am writing the story for you guys, so do like the story and comment down below to let me know what is going to happen next?

“Here’s the library, it has an online one too but you know me, I could only study at the library where everyone’s quiet and I could concentrate better.” I hadn’t been interested the whole time he was explaining because my mind was reeling from the fact that soon he would be gone and I had to take care of Severus alone. Should I stay in New York or maybe going back home to D.C. sounded more reasonable? There were so many things I had to think about. Then something on the catalog caught my eye. “Wait.” Tyler stopped explaining and looked at me expectantly. “Could we go back to the page before this?”

That's how he had secured this room, the one next to the storage, at half the rate. The owner, Johnny Poppins, must have filed for bankruptcy at last. That'd explain the notice. He had been playing dilly-dally with the authorities for a few months. Luckily, the motel was mostly inhabited by the trashiest population possible, all homeless grifters and drifters, who had no better place to go, rubble or no rubble. A saner population would have evacuated the place long before, leaving the building to an early demise and thus depriving him of a feasible shelter for young Brian.

Patrick had texted. Natalia replied, "Sweetheart, you shouldn't talk about your mom like that. But it does break my heart to see you so upset." Patrick typed, "Why won't she just disappear? Then I could stay with you forever, Nat!" "I want to be with you forever too, but Luna Evelyn will never allow it. And she's not going anywhere. She always clings to your dad," Natalia replied. Patrick said, "She's the worst. A crazy woman. A nasty witch!"

"You are that woman." Clara set down her spoon. "I am just a person who stayed." The innkeeper shook her head. "There is no such thing as just a person who stayed. Staying is the hardest thing." Morwen, who had been quiet throughout the meal, spoke. "She is right. Staying is harder than fighting. Harder than running. Staying requires you to be present for everything—the grief, the joy, the ordinary days that do not ask to be witnessed." Clara looked at her. "You stayed."

Undeterred by his initial inquiry, Asher pressed, "I asked what you are doing here?" Melissa, whose exterior often conveyed a preoccupation with beauty and fashion, concealed a profound depth beneath her radiant smile. She had dedicated herself to a noble cause, the establishment of an LGBTQ rehabilitation center – a sanctuary for individuals who had suffered immense hardships. It served as a haven for those who had endured abuse and rejection from their families due to their sexual orientation. Her facility provided not only shelter but also opportunities for education and employment in environments that were affirming and safe. This noble endeavor explained the presence of Max, Asher's sec

He just stayed, and that was enough. I went home that night and slept for three hours. It wasn’t much, but it was real. And when I woke, I knew the next chapter wouldn’t be written by them. It would be written here. In thread. In sweat. In presence. Tomorrow, we would open our doors. And no matter who walked through, I would be standing there. Not to fight. But to show them what reclaiming power really looked like.
