The Beloved Fool Novels & Stories

“Are a fool.” His words were knives, and he plunged them deep. "You are a fool to believe any man would ever love someone like you. A fool to believe any man would ever fight to be with you. A fool to believe there is someone out there who wants you.” My throat tightened, and I closed my eyes, begging myself not to react. When I opened my eyes, his face twisted in disgust. "I'm so sickened just thinking about it. Pretending like that—" He scoffed, shaking his head. "I wanted to puke just looking at you."

King Finnbheara mocked his Queen's words in scathing falsetto, then spit irritably. "I'm afraid it's true," the fool said flatly as he appeared in the shade of a rowan tree. "Really?" King Finnbheara grimaced. He'd convinced himself Aoibheal had embellished a bit after all, the man was mortal. The fool scowled. "I spent three days in Edinburgh. The man's a living legend. The women clamor over him. They speak his name as if it's some mystic incantation guaran-teed to bestow eternal ecstasy."

Cyrus' expression immediately changed. "Paige didn't do it on purpose! You can't make such a rash decision! If we divorce, then I... What about Parker Corp.?" Paige clutched at Cyrus' arm and cried even harder. "Ms. Lightwood, I know you hate me. If you'll just forgive Cyrus and not divorce, I'll take Caleb and leave right now. We'll never come back." Watching the scene in front of me, I suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of absurdity. The murderer was pretending to be pitiful, the victim was painted as the aggressor, and all Cyrus cared about was to protect what he deemed as the bigger picture.

Rhea My name is Andrea Grayson and I’m such a big fool. I've always watched scenes like these happen in movies, or books that I've read and I always wondered why the person being cheated on was too dumb to see it beforehand. In fact, I thought things like these only happened in those movies. I never imagined that I would find myself in that same situation. Being cheated on. Being made to look like a stupid fool. I want to laugh at my foolishness and terrible luck, but I'm completely frozen in place. I can’t move my limbs , I can’t even move my face.

"Laura, listen carefully. You’ve been nothing but a disaster for five years. Every attempt, every hope, every word you’ve uttered has been wrong. You are reckless, always thinking you’re clever, always imagining you’re in control when you’re not. I tolerated your whining, your foolish attempts at being brave, your constant interference in everything that matters to me. You’re pathetic, Laura. Useless and Barren. Worthless for the things that matter most. You humiliated me in front of everyone. You made me look weak. You’ve wasted five years of my life. Do you even realize how much pain you’ve caused me? You’ve made a fool of yourself and everyone around you. I gave you love, and you turned

Carol went as far as to orchestrate this farce on her wedding day just to get back at me on Caleb's behalf. It was easy to imagine the rumors that would spread after tonight. How many were going to ridicule me after this? Based on her behavior, Carol clearly assumed I loved her deeply and would not defy her. She was utterly convinced that even if there was a flaming pit before me, I'd have jumped into it willingly for her. Yet, she did not realize that even the most ardent love could not withstand such reckless misdeeds. I let out a muffled grunt, turning away from them.

Inside, his friend kept talking, "Alice is crazy about you. What if she falls for someone else out there?" "Her?" Shane scoffed, as if the idea was absurd. "She is so loyal she'd take a beating for me and not even flinch. You think she'd ever stop loving me?" His friend muttered, "I don't know, but she doesn't seem like someone you mess with." "No chance," Shane said lazily. "Our school is full of rich kids, but has she ever given any of them a second glance?" His tone dripped with disdain as he continued, "She is always up my ass. It's annoying."

What did I just say? Xena blinked, trying to clear the lingering dizziness from her head. Of course she knew who he was. Jacob Montoya — the man she had been married to for three years, the man whose coffee she brewed every morning, whose shirts she ironed every evening, whose side of the bed she still instinctively reached for in the dark. She was about to correct herself when her gaze fell on the calendar beside the bed. April first. April Fools' Day. The corners of Xena's lips nearly curved upward. She had already prepared a little surprise for Jacob before the accident, but perhaps she had just stumbled upon an even better one.

There were eight daughters-in-law in the Reynolds family, and I was the one everyone considered the most hopeless. While my sisters-in-law were making waves in business and landing on Forbes lists, I was busy shopping till I dropped. They talked about mergers, acquisitions, and corporate restructuring. I only cared about limited-edition Hermès bags and exotic-skin handbags. As far as they were concerned, I was the brainless gold digger their youngest brother had somehow been stupid enough to marry. I did not care. My husband's black card was mine to use, and all I had to do was look pretty and enjoy the good life. That all changed when Reynolds Group came under a coordinated attack from

It felt like an extra warm arm but Kaelen has two arms like a normal person does, except he's not a person. “Haha…” I laughed nervously. “Since when did you get a third arm?” And it got even bigger…and warmer. “Thanks for the compliment.” And that cleared the air. That's not an extra arm. Kaelen is a horse. I slowly backed away, “I think I left something in my room.” And that's when he pulled me. “FUCK!” I slapped hard. “PUT ME DOWN!” Kaelen exhaled. “You have no idea how turned on I am.” he walked slowly to the bed, holding on to me like I was some precious egg he didn't want to break. If I didn't hate him so much, I'd enjoy this.
