The Grass Looks Greener On The Other Side Novels & Stories

Chapter: 17 ******* The moon cast its radiant silver rays upon the starry sky, bestowing a gentle glow upon the landscape. The once dark green grass appeared as if it had been transformed from emeralds and diamonds into rubies. A serene breeze swept through the forest clearing, causing the leaves on the trees to sway in harmony, resembling the graceful movements of a ballerina's skirt. The distant melodies of birdsong echoed through the air, as if heavenly creatures had descended upon the forest. Tranquility enveloped the surroundings.

I was just about to speak when I suddenly realized the entire room had fallen silent. Countless disbelieving gazes moved past me and focused on the entrance behind me. A low voice cut through the gradually quiet atmosphere, ringing through the vast banquet hall. "Since when did my bride need another woman to lend her a man to fulfill a dream?"

Lana's POV The meadow stretches before us like the world kept its promise. Wildflowers in purple and gold, scattered through the grass in patterns that belong to no one's design but their own. A stream finding its way over smooth stones with the particular cheerful persistence of water that has never been told it cannot go somewhere. Beyond it, the forest rising ancient and green, its canopy so dense in the high summer that the light comes through in pieces, shifting and dappled and golden.

"I’m just a citizen now. Remember?" (NOMO HOLT’S POINT OF VIEW) Nomo walked to the edge of the bridge, staring down into the valley. The snow was melting in the sunlight, revealing patches of dark, rich soil and the first brave shoots of green grass. Beyond the valley, the Forbidden Forest was no longer a wall of terrifying shadows; it was a vast, shimmering ocean of trees, the emerald light of the Heartstone pulsing like a slow, steady heartbeat.

Back in our old town, people seemed to brag about their status by having the tallest building and largest lot. As I ran more, the houses on the sides of the pathway were disappearing one by one. It looked like a crooked mouth, not having teeth on some parts of it. Then, it completely disappeared when I’ve come into a place full of trees and the pathway ended. The vivid green grasses were scattered on the ground, and this place has the freshest air ever.

I made known. "And if you don't watch that tongue, Your sister's case might just be swept under the table." I knew that wasn't an empty threat. They had the means to make that a reality so I swallowed my pride and walked out. The garden, my only solace in the building whenever I was insulted or enraged. It always calmed me down but not today. I wished the plants would wilt and die along with those always cheerful unicorns. Frank came to join me. "So that wasn't very wise of you."

But then. "And if someone cheats?" I asked. Blood coming from bullets holes. Sebastian shrugs his shoulders. "Cheating can only get you so far." I nod, not voicing the doubts in my mind. I focus on the passing greenery, the tall trees with old vines hanging from thick branches, roots plunging up and down in the earth. My eyes travel to the sky, clouds start filling the blue canvas with a muddy grey. Someone grabs my arm.

I sarcastically replied, “feeling sad to see you leave without having entertained you enough” Walking away, the man smirked and shook his head. He headed towards his car, got in, and quickly drove away, soon disappearing. Without hesitation, the tall guard yanked me while the short guard opened the gate. As we enter, I glance around and am astonished by the breathtaking landscape outside. The grass is thriving and displaying a beautiful shade of green. I must survey a large area before I can continue surveying. "Pay attention and stay with me," the tall guard tells me, tugging at my arm.

It was a strange environment where the wind was gentle and the sun was beautiful, while the green grass was swinging like waves. The breeze caressed Ding Hao's cheeks, and the scent of the grass was extremely sweet. That was the aura of spring. Everything was full of vitality. Ding Hao was wrapped around a moist and pleasantly warm aura, and everything was flourishing. Ding Hao's mood inexplicably became better. He was about to lean over and touch the tender grass on the ground, but right then, everything in front of him gradually began to lose its color, rapidly fading away like a picture scroll. The grass before his eyes was turning yellow and dark, to finally become completely silver-gray

We keep running for a few more minutes until we get to the old lake. Just like before; it is still dried up. An empty space. Filled with cracked and dried up earth. Empty. Elsa is crunched on the ground looking defeated; hands folded into fists by her side. "El, It's going to be fine," I say kneeling by her side.
