The Last To Vanish Novels & Stories

It didn't take long before a deathly silence descended upon the room. The lights were switched on again, revealing the empty spot between Tiffany and me. There was a slight indent on the couch where Rosalie had been sitting. It was still warm when I touched it. Rosalie's body heat hadn't even dissipated yet. Tiffany and I exchanged fearful glances. "Where's Rosalie?" Tiffany asked. Rosalie had disappeared from right under our noses. My teeth began to chatter as a wave of despair washed over me. The commenters were actually capable of making us disappear into thin air!

"That is a long time ago. People change jobs." "People change jobs. They do not disappear. Margot Vane vanished from all records after she left Sterling Global. No tax filings. No property records. No death certificate. Nothing." He paused. "I think she was paid to disappear. And I think whatever she was paid for is connected to David Miller." "Why are you telling me this?"

"Pull up all entry and exit records from the past half month. Every vehicle, every person. Don't miss a single one!" The guards quickly handed over the records after checking. June grabbed them and flipped through the whole thing in a panic, but my name wasn't there. 'Maybe he's really just sulking. Maybe he's hiding somewhere on the base and just hasn't been found yet.' But as the days passed, there was still nothing. June had repeatedly searched every place I could possibly have gone, but it was as though I had vanished from the world entirely. That day, June's headache had gotten so bad it felt unbearable. She hadn't wanted to visit the medical station, but Morgan insisted on dragging her

Not even a trace remained. He rushed into the bedroom. Closets. Drawers. Cabinets. He tore through everything, desperately searching for evidence that she had existed there. Nothing. There was nothing. Every personal trace of hers had been erased. Even the matching toothbrushes in the bathroom were gone. Only his remained. Conrad collapsed onto the edge of the bed. Then his eyes landed on the nightstand. There used to be a framed photograph there. A picture from the first year of their startup. In the photo, Seraphina wore a worn sweater covered in little fabric pills, and a smile lit up her face.

"Logan, will you only be satisfied after you've driven me to my death? Harley Brooks is leaving for Toronto soon. After this, we'll never have another chance to see each other. I'm only going to see him off as his professor. Is that wrong too?" Her phone rang unexpectedly. When she answered, her voice turned impossibly gentle. "Okay, wait for me. I'll be there in half an hour." Before leaving, Leighton tossed the divorce papers into the trash. "We'll discuss when I get back. But don't even think about a divorce." She slammed the door so hard it echoed. Inside the room, only the sound of my own sobbing remained. I'd already checked. There were no flights to Toronto tonight. Sure enough, not l

They did not rule the world the way vampires did, through fear or spectacle. They did not need to. They shaped outcomes instead. They decided which players stayed standing and which ones quietly disappeared. Later, I learned the truth about my disappearance all those years ago. It had never been an accident. It was the result of a complex struggle over strategic resources, one that involved multiple factions operating both within and beyond legal boundaries. I had not been targeted for who I was, but for what I represented. A means of retaliation. My father wiped out the people responsible. Entire networks collapsed overnight. But by the time he reached the final link in the chain, I was al

"She's nothing but a baby machine." I sat there, completely still, watching until the video ended. When the screen went dark, I saved it calmly. Then I transferred another payment to the account from the fake-death company, as if settling a debt I couldn't put into words. Even after the video ended, I found myself staring at the screen. The aurora's surreal colors were frozen in place, impossible to look away from. On the day Callum proposed, he embraced me and vowed, "One day, I'll take you to Veyra Falls to see the northern lights. You've always dreamed of going, right?"

It was just that this time, I was leaving their world for good. Jason looked like he was about to ask where I was going, but Kat eagerly pulled him into the cab before he could speak. The cab then sped away, leaving a trail of smoke behind as it slowly disappeared from my sight. I looked in the direction it had gone and said to myself quietly, "This time, you're the one who left me. You're forever gone from my world from this point forward."

At noon, I returned to my workstation, ready to move everything out. Liam was the one who'd given me the asteroid ornament on my desk. He'd even sworn sincerely that I was his entire world back then. I smiled self-deprecatingly as I looked at the ornament. In the end, I still took it with me. Just as I was about to leave with the box of my belongings in my arms, Vivi suddenly walked into the office, looking anxious. "I'm sorry, everyone. I seem to have lost the necklace I was wearing today. Could I please ask all of you to cooperate for a routine inspection?" she asked.
