Novel & Cerita The New Family

“My family.” THE END!

As the whole family including his parents on a video call from the ranch cheered, the fireworks displayed in the sky ushering in the new year. She had finally found her family, the family she never dreamt of but will always be grateful for. With Mark and her son Tommy beside her, Melissa welcomed the new year which held the promise of a happy and peaceful life.

“Alright. You are grown, I get this. Hell, I am only a few years older than you so who am I to try to parent you. But just because you are old enough to live alone and depend on no one doesn't mean that you should or that you have to. I want you to come with us and be a part of our family. If you don't want to, that is fine. I undertand. We are strangers to you. I will still be here for you regardless. I will do anything that you need.” “I want to be part of your family.” Owen tells her. “You do?” She asks him, excited. “Yeah.. I mean, I have no idea how to be a part of a normal family. Clearly Dave and Nate were disfunctional as all hell, but I want to try. Is Andy and the kids okay with th

"Come on, let's have a drink, just the two of us!" My foster mother finally let go of me, turning to Solomon with a scolding look. "All you think about is drinking! Our son just got home, and you're pouring yourself a glass? Thomas, stop him! Your old man's got high blood pressure; he should cut back on drinking!" Listening to my foster mother's chattering, I felt an overwhelming sense of warmth. This was my home. These were my real family. Before long, I heard that the Sullivans had gone bankrupt, and Giselle had disappeared with Kevin's last bit of money.

Eddy continued, "..she was known as Eleanor McKinley, the eldest young miss of the McKinley family. But recently, she returned as Eleanor Anderson-Red. The sole heir to the Anderson-Red family wealth." "ZerAnderson Group?" Damien's eyes lit up at this new information. The Andersons were the second, most influential family in New York City after The Winters which was his family. How was she related to the Anderson family? Eddy nodded with vigor. Pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose, he looked down at the paper in his hand. He continued. "It also says here that she has two kids. About..." "Kids?" Damien's brow furrowed. Eddy didn't know why his boss looked displeased because she had k

She dissolved into rose-scented smoke, leaving us in a funeral hall full of shattered windows and impossible revelations. Nova gathered her children, Myra still glowing with residual fire. "So. Family dinner tomorrow?" Despite everything, I laughed. "Your house or mine?" "Yours. Mine's still being rebuilt from Myra's last tantrum." "It wasn't a tantrum!" Myra protested. "I was practicing!" "You melted the refrigerator." "It was in my way!" Watching them bicker—this impossible family of phoenix-wolves, of evolved children, of tomorrow's promise—I understood what Aria had meant. The old friends were gone, but the new ones were so much more.

"I apologize on Nala's behalf. I'm so sorry. Please calm down. It's my fault. I didn't raise her right. If you want to slap someone, slap me." Paulene shouted back, "If I hit you, Brian would lose his mind! How did I end up marrying into this family? And you still expect me to have a baby? Not in this lifetime! I'll make sure your family name ends with me!" "What? No…" My mother sobbed louder. I pushed the door open. The noise stopped instantly. My mother stared at me, looking as if she had just been saved from drowning. She grabbed my wrist and shoved me forward.

I looked at the sisters on stage, and my vision dimmed as a strong wave of hatred rose in my chest. In my last life, after spending time with the seven sisters, I felt most drawn to Kara Jennings, so I chose her to be my wife. But in the end, she pushed my grandmother off the second floor, killing her on the spot. After that, Kara teamed up with her sisters, took over my family's assets, and locked me in the basement. The basement was dark, filthy, and suffocating. They even brought my driver's son, Oscar Warner, just so he could watch and laugh at my misery.

"That's right! Her whole family is bringing the charges, after all!" "The parents were wrong, sure, but what she did was excessive." Hearing the comments, Arnold looked pleased and puffed out his chest with pride. I glanced at Sandy. Though she looked calm on the outside, her trembling shoulders betrayed her anxiety. She was getting scared. The staff started searching for my memories. Soon, a new memory was projected on the screen. "Lauren! Please, come home quickly! Dad is in trouble!" Sandy told me over the phone. As soon as I got Sandy's call, I immediately took leave from work and rushed home. When I arrived, I saw Arnold was playing poker with his friends, while Miranda was dancing in t

"She's so cold. She said she doesn't even know her own brother." "They must've had a huge fight. Who drags family drama to work like this?" I locked my eyes on the glowing floor numbers, feeling my insides hollow out one piece at a time. Back in my office, I collapsed into my leather chair and let out a long, shaky breath. My phone buzzed. A text from an unknown number. One image. I opened it. It was a family photo. Mom, Dad, Garrett, Vanessa, Allen, Jessica, and Maria—all gathered in the living room of the new house, grinning at the camera like the perfect happy family.
