Strawberry Guy Without You Novels & Stories

she's on the verge of becoming Capo. Then, all at once, he remembered her words: There has to be another way. A sharp tone cut through the silence—his phone. A message from one of his men, with a photo attached. It was Scarlett's signed renunciation letter. She had formally relinquished her candidacy for Capo and severed her ties to the organization. In that single, calculated act, she hadn't just abandoned her claim to the throne. She had given up on him. Tony stared at the document, disbelief turning to anguish. His vision blurred as tears spilled onto the phone screen.

I asked. He nodded. “You didn’t make it.” “No,” he said. “But I upheld the silence and that silence hurt you.” I didn’t answer. I didn’t need to. He already knew. “I’m not asking you to pretend it’s fixed,” he continued. “But… I want to remind you of who we are when we’re not being torn in half by everyone else.” That hit harder than I expected. He gestured toward the strawberries. “I had them brought in from the west coast. You mentioned once that the ones here are too sour.”

“Can I have a blackberry gin & tonic, please?” “Of course, I’ll get you some. Wait for me here.” “And oh! I’d like to have strawberries too.” “No problem.” He winks at me and starts walking away. Fifteen minutes later, he still hasn’t come back. I watch the people passing by, and the ambiance is starting to get dreary. I’m also beginning to worry. Did he get stuck on the dance floor? Did someone spill juice on his shirt? Or is he in the restroom?

"I can control who wakes up and who sleeps. That is why I gave you these enchanted straws. But I cannot control a person's despair. "Since things have come to this, you can only accept it." He nodded slightly and walked out of the house. Carla collapsed onto the sofa, her eyes empty and unfocused. "He's gone, he disappeared." The talented boy who rarely spoke was gone. A sharp pain hit her chest. She bent forward slightly, as if all her strength had been drained. Her eyes shifted, and she noticed the photos on the TV cabinet. Only then did she realize something. Every smiling face in those pictures was Simon. There wasn't a single photo of Harry.

You're not planning to be his side chick, are you? Evan cut in. "Leaving you at the altar was my mistake. But love is love—I never loved you. Eight years or eighty, it won't change. "If the money's not enough, I'll add another hundred grand. Call it compensation for what I did to you." They talked over me. Like I wasn't even there.

Where's the money?" I snapped a picture of the remaining apple and sent it to him. "This month's short. Can I pay with apples?" He didn't reply. I cut the apple into pieces and dropped it into my pasta. The sweetness seeped into the salty sauce, making the taste weird. The rain had stopped outside, and the smell of barbecue from the night food trucks below drifted up.

The stiffness in his shoulders were more pronounced and he let his head fall back against the headrest. He'd had a busy day, handling reports and getting contracts. He was exhausted, yet amused. The image of Ava's red face resurfaced. He'd caught her staring at him, she hadn't looked away fast enough. They hadn't really spoken to each other after the party so their interactions were a little awkward. He could still feel the smell of her perfume which surprising calmed his senses, or maybe he was more tired than he thought. Sighing deeply, Luke pulled out his phone and turned off the Do Not Disturb mode. The screen lit up instantly.

A need to be seen, felt—anything but invisible. And in that moment, I didn’t push her away. From the corner of my eye, I saw Luigi scrambling out of the car, eyes wide, checking the surroundings like he expected paparazzi to jump out of the shadows. The last thing I needed was a scandal before sunrise. But right then, none of that mattered. Because the broken woman in my arms had just kissed me like her heart had nothing left to lose. “Mr. President,” Luigi approached me cautiously, and concern etched across his face.
