The Lake House Novelas e Histórias

I moved my arm out of his grip and turned my attention back to the last folder. Swallowing, I flipped it open. My eyes still filled with tears, and I let my fingers trace the picture of the house. It was somewhere in the wilds of Canada. I pulled out my phone and, from looking at the map, it was completely off the beaten path. It could potentially take an hour or more to get groceries. But it was acres and acres of forestland that she owned with the house. There was even a plateau that overlooked a lake like the one at the Crossroads. The land deed included the lake, though. Shaking my head, I couldn’t believe she had literally purchased a pack territory. She built a pack house, our pack hou

“That’s embarrassing.” “No,” I answered honestly. “It’s healthy.” A faint smile touched her lips before she stretched slightly beneath the blanket. Then she frowned while looking outside. “Where are we?” “Almost there.” The lake house appeared minutes later through the trees. Large glass windows overlooked the water while soft lights glowed warmly against the storm outside. Aria stared quietly as the car slowed. “You own this?” “Yes.” Her brows lifted slightly. “Of course you do.” I almost smiled. Almost.

Jack takes my hand himself, his touch warm and commanding. Now that I’m standing outside, I can take it all in. The lake house is breathtaking — modern yet rustic, with a matte black roof, brick walls, and large glass windows framed in black steel. The driveway is covered with light grey gravel, and neatly trimmed olive trees line the path. It’s like something out of an architectural dream. I could imagine myself living here. Jack calls over one of the men — Matt, if I heard correctly — and without a single word, Matt nods and gestures for everyone to leave. Within moments, the entire place is quiet.

he said, his voice deep and calm. He walked over, his eyes locked on mine the whole time. He grabbed my suitcase with one hand like it weighed nothing. I followed him up the porch steps and into the house. The lake house was old. It had very thin walls and floors that creaked with every single step. It was the worst place in the world to try and hide a secret.

(Isabella’s POV) The lake house was beautiful, a stunning cage made of glass and stone, perched on the edge of a vast, calm lake, yet I felt like I was suffocating. Days bled into one another, marked only by the rising and setting of the sun over the water, each sunrise a painful reminder of the morning I was supposed to marry Alessandro, each sunset a confirmation of the darkness that had fallen over my life. I was alone, truly alone, surrounded by silent guards whose faces were carefully blank, their presence a constant reminder that I was a prisoner, not a guest.

She took it, her fingers small and cold in mine, and I didn't let go as we started up the long, overgrown driveway. The house appeared through the mist like a jagged tooth. It was a Victorian monstrosity, all gables and dark wood, sitting on the edge of a cliff that overlooked a black, silent lake. There were no lights in the windows, but a single thread of smoke rose from one of the chimneys. She’s here, Iris whispered.

Watching my kids grow. It was simple. It was ordinary. It was perfect. --- Louis came home that night with news. "I bought something." "What kind of something?" "A lake house." I stared at him. "The lake house?" "No. A different one. New. Clean. No memories." "Why?" He took my hands. "Because we deserve new memories. Good ones. With just us and the kids and no ghosts." I thought about it. A lake house. New beginnings. "Okay," I said. "Let's do it."

Jace’s truck rattled over the last stretch of gravel like it was trying to warn him to turn around. He didn’t. The lake house appeared through the pines exactly as it had in every memory he’d tried to bury: weathered cedar siding, wraparound porch sagging slightly on the lake side, the same red Adirondack chairs still chained to the railing so they wouldn’t blow away in winter storms. Nine years gone and the place looked almost unchanged—like time had only bothered with the people, not the building.

Arc 23: The Lake House The lake house belongs to Soren's family. Four bedrooms, a wraparound deck, a private dock, and a lake so still in the evenings it looks like something poured. We've been coming here every summer for three years, the same four of us. Soren and his girlfriend Bex. Me and my best friend Cleo who is not my girlfriend and has never been my girlfriend and has been sleeping in the room next to mine for three summers while I lie awake thinking about the very specific sounds she makes when she laughs at something genuinely funny.

As long as she focused and listened to my thoughts, she would get the exact score. Then she would crush me in public and secure the Foster inheritance. She slowly closed her eyes and gathered her attention. In the dead silence that followed, Sophie began to hum again, completely out of control. "Darling, hold my hand... "Jet 2 holiday... save 50 pounds per person..." For one instant, the entire venue froze. The crowd before the Harborfront screens froze too. Then the live-stream detonated. [Help! She's doing it again! Classic jet 2 holiday returns!]
