Still, I knew she was telling me this on purpose. I also blocked my parents. At Christmas, I officially acknowledged Mr. and Mrs. Wentworth as my godparents. The cab driver had been right. There were bound to be many obstacles, disappointments, and moments of despair in life, but good things would always come in time.

The Book in the World The book was titled simply: The Healed Territory. Elara had not planned the title — it arrived when she was writing the twelfth chapter and she understood it was right because it was accurate. Not the healing process, not the governance methodology, not the theory. The territory after the healing. What it was to live there.

When Noah Levine came back, Christmas had already passed. I'd thrown that reindeer lingerie into a street trash bin. "Babe, I left in such a rush last night that I forgot to give you your Christmas present." He pulled out a sapphire necklace and swept my hair aside to fasten it around my neck. Because he leaned in so close, I could clearly see the red marks on his neck and smell the sickly sweet perfume that obviously wasn't his. Knowing the scent belonged to my own sister made my stomach turn.

“Go get ’em, champ. Don't leave any leftovers.” Chloe Vance’s POV Ten minutes later, I’m sitting in the makeup chair getting my face touched up. The wardrobe assistant hands me a new holiday outfit a sheer, unbuttoned flannel shirt that exposes my heavy breasts completely, paired with nothing but a pair of lace thigh-high socks. The dining room set is breathtaking. A long, dark mahogany table stretches across the center of the room, piled high with prop turkeys, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and glowing autumn candles. Fake steam rises from the dishes, filling the air with the scent of roasted herbs and rich gravy.

_Barely_ _Just finished a book_ The three dots appear instantly. He was waiting. _Which one_ Elma looks at the paperback on her bed. The spine is cracked wrong from how fast she read it. _The God of Small Things_. She bought it last week because the cover was blue and she was tired of grey. _The one I bought last week_ _Took me one day_ Another pause. Longer this time. Then: _That is a record for you_ _You used to read one chapter a month_

I picked up the book and held it in both hands and thought about a man at a bookstore counter in October asking Carol for something specific and Carol disappearing for thirty seconds and coming back with exactly the right thing. I thought about page forty-seven. About active patient waiting. About ten days. Then I put the book in my apron pocket, close to where my heart was doing its complicated thing, and went back to work. There was always work to do. And work, this January, was the thing holding the ten days together until they became something else entirely.

'Although I know very well that you'll never hear this from me in person, I've already said it to you a thousand times in my heart. 'Some wounds hurt a lot and are deep, but they'll scab over and heal one day. 'In the end, they'll become faint scars that remind you how you've once lived and hurt, and you keep moving forward anyway. 'Anna, please let me say your name one last time. 'I hope from now on, you'll always live in the light, in warmth, and in happiness.'

Under his rough handling, I slowly gave up resisting and became more and more compliant. I started to enjoy it. I was drowning in the physical pleasure of it all. After all, it had been a very long time since Garrett had stopped being intimate with me. "Yes! Just like that… Don't stop… I'm about to..." My starving body was finally being given attention by Leonard. I was so sensitive that after only a few thrusts, I was already close to the edge. However, right at that moment, the phone in my purse rang at the worst possible time.

Already 10 chapters down! Good job! Can't wait for you to finish the whole book ;) -- Chapter 10 - Just three months and then done. ~~~ The view from the balcony was breath-taking. The garden was decorated with strings of lights, highlighting the trees and beautiful flowers. A small fountain right in the middle sprouted water and the lights made the water look colorful. There were even a few benches to sit and two of them were occupied by couples talking and kissing. It looked peaceful, contrary to what I was feeling.

I am thirty minutes late though because Theo is being such a workaholic that after the party, he still worked on some documents, before hitting the bed. I push open the door and enter. It is undoubtedly the most massive library I have ever set foot into. Unlike Pitchford and Durian’s library, the wall, ceiling, and bookshelves are all painted white. From the outside, it seems like there are only four floors, but looking down, I am actually on the tenth floor, with the basement still way, way down.
