The Day You Left Novels & Stories

Finally it was here,The day that I was going to be leaving the country for London. My gaze was fixed outside my window watching the house workers move my stuffs to the car,I was leaving few hours from now. I closed my eyes and I flashed back to my days at Luke's house,It was a bitter Sweet feeling because finally I was going to be out of sight that's even more preferable now that they thought I was dead. But my daughter, Leah. I wouldn't be able to see her for a long time and it made my heart ache,I couldn't even see her before leaving. I heard the screeching sound of my door opening and I immediately fixed my face but my eyes sold me out.

The day I was discharged from the hospital, I wore a face mask to conceal the massive scar on my face. It was then that I received a call from a distant city called Lunebria. The voice on the other end sounded unfamiliar. "May I ask if you are Ms. Sofia? Did you go missing when you were a child?" a man asked. I froze for a moment. The memories that had been buried in the back of my mind for years suddenly came surging back.

On Christmas Day, my parents decided to add my sister Chloe's name to the family trust. As the lawyer prepared the documents, he glanced at me. "And this young lady? Should she be included as well?" My mother waved a hand dismissively. "No need. She's just a foster child." Ever since Chloe was brought back home, I—their biological daughter—had become the outsider. All because Chloe insisted she was the only daughter in the family. If anyone so much as mentioned that I was blood-related, she'd have a PTSD episode—screaming, crying, the whole breakdown. Eventually, everyone just accepted it: "The Haper family only has one real daughter. The other one's a foster kid." At first, I tried to

No one had. Finally, I went to the Pack archives and pulled her file. There it was—a leave request submitted three months ago. Her father's name was on it. Cameron Graham. But she never finished the paperwork. I went back to that little house we'd shared for over a decade and sat there, staring at nothing. Three months ago. That was right around the time I gave away that healing potion she'd fought so hard for—to Mia, because she had a tiny scratch on her finger. Meanwhile, Layla had fallen down a slope and had no healing potion for herself, so she spent three months stuck in bed.

Then, I looked at the number on his head that still said [3,650 days]. "Levi," I said, letting him hold my hand without pulling away. "I'm here to tell you something." Levi's smile froze on his face. He seemed to have a bad premonition as fear suddenly pooled in his eyes. "No, don't say it, Anna. Please don't say it," he begged, looking into my eyes. I stared back into his eyes and said slowly and clearly, "I've already bought a ticket for the day after tomorrow. I'm leaving Riverton."

"I told you if you left, you couldn't come back and marry me." His lips parted, but there was nothing he could say. "You chose to let go."

The elders in the family are big on good omens, insisting we pick a nice date for the wedding for good luck. But after a fortune teller proposes nine potential wedding dates, Edward Colton turns every single one down. It's the tenth time now. Edward shakes his head yet again. I gaze at his handsome face and blurt out, "I think this date is perfect." Edward is busy scrolling through messages in his group chat, not even bothering to glance up at me. "This date won't work. Jolene and the others just mentioned they want to go to Hallibay for vacation. Turn down your mom's suggestion." I curl my fingers tight. His eyes remain fixed on his phone screen, as if he has endless conversations to t

On one sunny day, Liam went down on one knee, presenting me with a diamond ring he had designed himself, and asked, "Eleanor, will you marry me?" I smiled, held out my hand, and answered without hesitation, "Yes."

I looked at their disdainful faces and laughed. I ran my hand over my hurting back. “Yes, you’ve won.” Lily was stunned by how calm I was. She wanted to say something when David started to roar again. When she finally calmed David down, I had already left the ward. I pulled out my phone and cancelled Lily’s flight ticket. Our anniversary trip had turned into my farewell trip.

I let him support me as we walked up the stairs, step by step. He settled me into bed, tucked the blanket around me, and spoke gently. "Be good and sleep. Don't think about anything. Everything will be better tomorrow." I closed my eyes. A moment later, I felt his light kiss fall on my forehead. The door closed softly behind him, and the room sank into silence. My eyes snapped open. Tears slid silently across my entire face. 'Eric, there is no tomorrow for us. Our world ended the moment you chose to plan that death.'
