The Ones That Got Away Book Novels & Stories

Since she has nothing to do while she has no work, she made herself occupied through writing. Mrs. Johnson was delighted that Harvey has a special place in Sam’s heart. She glanced at the book and saw the title. ‘THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY’ ------------ THE END -----------

At her table, her two friends stand, say something I can’t hear, and leave her with the notebook still open. Emerson keeps writing, head down, jaw tight, like if she focuses hard enough on the page the rest of the room will cease to exist. Lisa is still talking—timing, audience, the next hit. I let her voice fade into background static. A few more minutes pass. Then Emerson closes the notebook, slides it into her bag, and stands. I’m out of my seat before she’s taken two steps. She doesn’t get farther than that. My hand wraps around her upper arm and pulls her back. She stumbles into me, twisting her head up to face me, eyes flashing. “Let go of me, you bastard.”

One thing was certain though, nobody could believe that this was actually happening. "One chance Vance. One chance to rekindle our childhood friendship... Don't make me regret it. Stay away from Connie. That's all I ask," he took my books from me as Jake and Brian helped me stand up. He placed the books carefully on my hand and only let go when he was sure I had a firm grip on them. And without another word, he walked away, his friends faithfully following behind him. I was left all alone in the hallways, people's gazes swapping between Casey, who was walking away and me. At the moment, all that my mind could register was, "what in God's name just happened?!"

That’s our business and so it should remain our secret. ‘Not anymore Justin! It’s time to receive the book,’ he said authoritatively. ‘The book is out there, everybody is free to get a copy and read.’ The driver stretched his hand to the back seat, got a copy of Captured in a rucksack, and handed it to the young man. ‘Open page 23,’ he instructed.

Suddenly, the adjacent room's storage area erupted in a deafening explosion. Flames burst forth, consuming that space, making everyone to lay on the ground. The fire starts to spread, and Ethan and Oscar sprint away from the storage room, abandoning their captives. "Get out! Now!" Ethan yelled at Oscar. Oscar's face drained of colour. "The whole storage room will burn!" he yelled at Ethan. As they fled, Lyra's pleas echoed through the chaos. "Please leave...! Save yourself." The Head Maid stood firm, her hands frantically searching for a way to unchain Lyra.

Ethan stared at the door, waiting for it to creak open, waiting for the woman he had destroyed to come and save him. The door remained shut. He had won the empire, he had punished his enemies, and he had cleared his name. But as the monitors beeped in the rhythmic silence, Ethan Morgan finally realized the one truth Maya had been right about: He hadn't just pushed Elena to the edge. He had pushed her off it—and she had learned how to fly far, far away from him.

My mother dragged me out of my biological father's brutality, and I thought we had finally escaped. Then she married the Don of the Falcone family. The woman who once fought to protect me completely changed. To secure my stepfather's approval and coddle his beloved Sofia, she stood by and let them turn me into a servant in the house I was supposed to call home. Every time I pushed back, they pushed harder. Every time I begged to be seen, I was met with contempt. My biological father's fists left scars on my body. This family's marks went deeper—into my bones. So I stopped. If they never wanted me there, I would stop breaking myself for their hollow approval. I would take my own life back. In

‌ With a final, longing glance at Kevin, Vanya and Carlin turned and dashed down the passageway, clutching the stolen documents to their chests. ‌ Meanwhile, Kevin, still locked in his rather awkward position, attempted to reason with the security agent who had apprehended him. "Listen, my good man, this is all just a big misunderstanding. You see, we were merely staging a theatrical engagement celebration." ‌ The security agent raised an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed. "Save the theatrics for the professionals. You're coming with me." ‌ Back with Vanya and Carlin, their escape was far from smooth. They encountered twists and turns in the labyrinthine tunnels beneath the corporation, occasiona

But hopefully soon 👀 In the meantime, go check out my new book 🥳💃🏾 "Craving His Captive: The Cartel Heir’s Obsession" The story follows a young college girl who goes on vacation with her boyfriend, but ends up caught in a terrible situation and gets kidnapped and shipped off to another country. She eventually lands in the hands of a powerful cartel leader. She was given to him as a gift, but he wanted absolutely nothing to do with her. Until she spoke back to him. And something in him shifted. (Warning in advance: this story is darker, messier, and definitely more boundary-breaking 😜.) Thank you once again for staying with me through this journey.

Explaining the situation that had transpired. Asked to take a seat, the only open one was next to Nikolias. So she sat there next to him. Smiling to himself, Nikolias pushed his book towards her. She had yet to get one, so it was only wise for him to share at this time. “Mr. Wickman is strict, but you’ll be okay. The office has the AP Science books, we will get you one at lunch.” He whispered lightly, only loud enough for her to hear. Nodding the girl smiled gently.
