The New House Novels & Stories

I ask and Hunter nods. Wow, they got a new house. The new house looked a lot better than the old house, some part of the house was in the glass, and I could see a small part of the living room, it looked so pretty. “They can’t wait to meet you,” Hunter says. When we got into his house, I was welcomed by a scream then a hug followed. It was Luke, he is always fucking dramatic. “Yes, Luke I missed you too, even more than I missed any of them,” I say making him smile.

She was currently working on telling the movers where to what box in the van. "Okay mum!" I shout back, picking up the last box that was in my now very hollow room. I look one last time before closing the door behind me. ----------------- California "Oh my god! Is that our new house?" I asked, my eyes glued to one of the most beautiful houses I have ever seen in my life. The house was bigger than our last one with the outside being a soft grey and the windows littering the front. It felt like a mansion being three stories tall, but I knew it was probably smaller than an actual mansion. The yard was trimmed and colorful flowers followed the front of the house. I bounced in my seat as I desper

Ian’s POV The house sells faster than I expected. Three weeks on the market, two offers, and suddenly I’m signing papers that officially end the last tangible connection to Eva. The realtor hands me a check that represents fifteen years of mortgage payments. My new place is across town, a modern condo in a high rise that overlooks the river. Clean lines, floor-to-ceiling windows, none of the history that weighed down the old house. It’s exactly what I need and Felicia is going to be part of it.

I halted at the doorstep of the house we got to and looked up, gazing at it. Then I turned to my stepbrothers who ignored me and walked right inside. I joined them, my eyes still wide open. “This is our new house?” “The old man’s dead. We’re claiming his house,” Thane told. This one was much bigger than the other one, there were couches, rooms and beds. I could already see myself being thrown all over the place, me and my fantasies living in the fresh as my brothers.

I can see new homes that have been built, I can see all the new flowers lining the drive as we get closer to the pack house. The packhouse looks nothing like it did before. I can see the new siding, new roof and new edition on the left side. It almost looks as if they tore it down and put a new one up. All the new landscaping and flowers along the front. Off to the left is a giant park with new playground equipment for the pups. I park in front of the pack house and turn the car off then turn the face Addison. "Well my love, are you ready to go look at our new home?"

Just like the shoes, they were a matching set. Kian had just started rushing over to clean them up when Isabel walked out from the kitchen carrying dishes. "Oh, sorry about the mess, Lane," she said brightly. She placed the food on the table, smiling with the ease of a hostess welcoming guests into her home. "I just bought this place recently. Luckily, I have Mr. Newman to thank for it. If he hadn’t arranged work for me and given me those generous annual bonuses, there’s no way I could’ve afforded a place in this neighborhood."

"But you're going to lose this time. Nancy's already eight. She has a say about who she wants to live with." Nancy hid behind Vivian, and the way she looked at me was distant and cold. She didn't even hesitate when she said, "I want to live with Mom and Jason." I suddenly thought of the video Jason Reed had sent me the night before. Apparently, they celebrated New Year's Day early and already had dinner together. With how happy they looked, they were like a real family of three. At the table, Nancy had frowned and said, "This is all Dad's fault! He makes us celebrate New Year's Day early every year."

When Dad came home, he found Mom standing alone in the living room, holding a bowl of dessert that had already gone cold. "Honey, what's wrong? Did Tatiana come back?" He took off his coat, sank tiredly into a chair, and rubbed his temples. "Beta Matthew spoke to me today. He refuses to change his engagement partner. I never expected that. I was already planning to name Tatiana as the heir. It would be better for the Truss family's future..."

With that, I hung up and blocked his number without hesitation. Liam must have sensed the tension in the car because he smiled and tried to lighten the mood. “Miss Griffin, you came here to start a new life. Don’t let stuff like that ruin it. We’ll be at your apartment soon. You’re going to love it.” I turned my eyes to the sky. The clouds at the horizon were painted gold by the setting sun, and for the first time in years, I felt a weight lifting off my shoulders. I nodded lightly. “You’re right. I’m looking forward to my new beginning.”

The new house was everything I hadn’t realized I wanted. Bigger, better, cleaner, and… quieter than the chaos of the old mansion. Damon had insisted on a few guards only, probably still worried about the last incident with the bomb in the former house. And there was a chef now. A real chef. Which meant Damon wouldn’t be in the kitchen anymore, cooking for me.
