The Book Choices Novels & Stories

~ DESTINY LAND~ “ Sister, that book is so good. It can not only play the story, but it can talk also and did .. did you just see that, the words … all the words are forming out of those beads. Woooaahh … !! I wonder who wrote it!” Exclaimed Choice looking down from heavens at the book that was displaying the words of second story in front of that old Empress. “ Father..” murmured Destiny to which Choice just gasped a mouthful of air into her lungs getting surprised.

That one’s destiny is in their own hands, a series of choices that we make that allows us to take the risks we want in life, and position ourselves for greatness. *Author's note: This book is a stand-alone and can be read without the others, however, for those wanting the full storyline this is book 2. This book contains spoilers for Timber Alpha, as it takes place after and will give you a peek into book 3 that will be added onto the length of Timber Alpha, not as a stand alone.

My sister asks while I keep mute. “I made the plot, built up your characters and main emotions, then I made several choices from you all to choose from and when you do choose, I put it in the book.” “How do you know the choices we make?” It’s my turn to ask and she smiles with a faint hum. “I’m the one who created you. I’ll know what choice you make, be it good or bad.” I nod in full understanding. “Does anyone read your- my book?” “Yes, they do,” She turns to Asteria, “And they also read your book too but no comments, not much from people who actually read it.”

I drove Dime and me over to the closest Barnes and Noble, “Books, books, books,” Dime sang as we parked “I see we are excited,” I laughed as Dime quickly opened her door “Well, of course,” Dime said. We entered the store and separated so we could look at the books we wanted, I headed to the fiction adventure section while Dime went to the romance section. “Let’s see here,” I whispered to myself as I looked for the books I wanted “Is there anything I can help you with?” a voice asked from behind me

I told myself I always wore that dress on Tuesdays. Both of these things were lies and I knew it before I finished telling them to myself, standing in front of my mirror deciding whether to change, ultimately deciding not to. When the bookshop bell announced him and I felt the particular shift in the air that happened when Edmond entered a room. I kept my back to the aisle and my eyes on the shelf and reminded myself firmly of every reason this was complicated and dangerous and unfair to both of us. Then he spoke, two words. “Good paragraph?”

“This scroll book contains history of what you would not believe at all” Fleki tells him as he goes through the pages, Edward also looks keenly and what he sees shocks him. The book was entitled The legend of the chosen with so many names of ancient kinds of people who served as the chosen. It was even more interesting when he sees names that did not come from his tribe. “Ever heard of such kind of names?” he asks Fleki who was more surprised and astonished.

"I can't make it. Something urgent came up at the branch office. I have to go on a business trip. Might not be able to contact you for a few days. Have Ruby go to Bodrein City with you, okay? I'll make it up to you when I get back." The flame that had burned for days suddenly extinguished. All that anticipation turned into smoke. Of course, I was upset. But I reminded myself—he didn't have a choice. It was work. For our family. So in the end, I just replied, bitter and hollow, "Okay."

“It’s leverage.” There was silence between us as I studied him. "You're not just giving me a project; you are setting the stage for something else," I said. “You can walk away,” he said. “You don’t strike me as someone who offers exits you expect them to take.” I said “I don't," he said, a faint smile crossing his lips Stepping forward, I place the file back in front of him. “You had options,” I said. “More experienced analysts. People without… history.”

"Thomas, I knew you still loved me! Believe me, I won't do this again. I swear!" "Giselle." When she heard me call her name, her eyes lit up with hope. But my next words extinguished that light immediately. I looked at her seriously. "If you left me because I couldn't offer you a better life, I wouldn't blame you. I'd even wish you well. But you should never have lied to me. If you have feelings for Kevin, that's your choice, but you shouldn't have lied to me, claiming the child was mine. You should've told me you guys were getting married too, instead of letting me work tirelessly to buy you things."
