The Best I Ever Had Novels & Stories

Leaving me empty. I had no idea how I was still alive. I felt like I could easily start floating right now into the air. I thought I had known pleasure. With my boyfriend- I thought I had known maddening pleasure. But this…this was unlike anything I had ever dreamt of. Not even in my wildest fantasy.

He and I were never meant to be. I drove back home, strangely calm. *** In my room, I stared at Luca's peaceful, sleeping face and let the worries fade. Being genuine isn't the mistake—trusting the wrong people is. And that was okay. The road ahead was still long, and I didn't need any man to make it through. I wasn't the bullied, helpless housewife I used to be. By then, I'd become a professional—a mother who could stand on her own and support Luca through my own hard work.

My eyes grew heavy. As I drifted off, only one thought remained on my mind. I would try my best to never let this happen again. For now, I would just enjoy it.

Because the moment I turned a corner, I collided with the one person I never wanted to see. “Whoa, watch it!” a deep voice snapped. I stumbled backward, my books scattering across the floor like someone had kicked apart a paper nest. My breath hitched as I looked up—

“I was wrong. I know I was wrong! I brought you everything—my remaining shares in the Smith Group, all my savings… It’s all yours! Just come back to me!” His hands trembled as he pushed a card and an envelope across the table. “James,” I cut him off, “you still don’t get it. I never cared about your money. And what you’ve lost… can’t be bought back with cash.” His eyes were bloodshot, his lips cracked and trembling. “I get it… My biggest mistake was getting used to your love, then taking you for granted, thinking you didn’t deserve better. “And Mia… she always told me you never really loved me,” he rasped. “That you only married me because my parents supported you.”

I thought I wouldn't feel pain anymore, but every time I remembered Zachary's hateful look, it felt like knives twisting in my heart. Instead, I forced down the heartache and mind-linked my Alpha eldest brother, Corey Newman, and my second brother, Wesley Newman.
