This was so hard to do. However, standing here now, staring at those same pair of arms that held her close on cold nights, wrapped around another woman so tightly, it made this a little easier. With that, she pulled out the envelope and tossed it on the table. Derek’s eyes shifted to her, and then he suddenly noticed the suitcase behind her, “What’s this Leah? What are you doing?”

On the day Dad made me draw lots to choose a wife, I was about to draw a number when comments started flashing past. [Don't do it! The whole thing is rigged. You’ll only end up married to a hideous woman and be stuck in a cold, heartless marriage alliance with the Wests!] [You’ll end up the target of enemies of the West family even before you marry their daughter. You’ll fall into their devious trap and get burned to ashes in a fire!] [Your childhood sweetheart Mindy Sullivan has a bark that’s worse than her bite. Her disdain and disregard is just a farce. She really loves you. Marrying her is the right move!] My hand froze in midair. I told my dad that I wanted to marry Mindy. On my

For the 13th time, an AI-generated photo pops up on my feed, showing my best friend, Gwen Spalding, and my boyfriend, Andrew Gunnell, wrapped in each other's arms. Gwen's still a mess after getting dumped so suddenly, so I assume she's mixed Andrew up with someone else again. Then a comment stops me cold. "I was there. Joyce tried to brush it off before and claimed the picture was AI-generated, but let's see her deny this! Besides, look at them. A guy as hot as Andrew belongs with a knockout like Gwen. They look way better together." Attached to the comment is a candid photo of Gwen and Andrew wrapped in each other's arms, in the exact same pose as the picture on my feed. I screenshot t

They didn't understand what the big deal was about the book. "This doesn't make any sense." Sidney said as she rested her back against the couch and sighed. "Look!" Valerie called Sidney, tapping her on her knee to come see what she had just noticed. Sidney bent forward again and started at the place her friend was pointing to. Below the page, a small fine and beautiful handwritten script was there, and it read: This book is incomplete without the other." "What does that mean?" Sidney asked with a small frown. Valerie shrugged and said. "I think it means that the book has a twin copy or a second version of some sort." She pushed the bible aside on the table and stood up. She walked to her wi

The next second, a communication screen appeared in front of me, and I was successfully connected. A man on the screen smiled warmly. “Congratulations. You’ve finally gone from being a character in a novel… to becoming the protagonist who controls her own life. In this world, your identity is the beloved daughter of a wealthy family. You have loving parents, a handsome and devoted fiancé, and even a dog who grew up with you. I hope you enjoy this life where you are finally loved.” I stayed silent for three seconds. “Lucien…” “He has returned to our world, but because of his violation, he has been stripped of his eligibility as an interdimensional traveler and sentenced to imprisonment. You w

I had been to the Black family’s annual banquet many times. Tonight, though, was the first time I walked through those doors without the title of “Gabriel’s fiancée.” “Is that Erin? Why is she–” “Who’s she holding hands with? Isn’t that the Graham family’s son?” “Then who’s the girl next to Gabriel? What’s going on here?” Gabriel Black shot to his feet.

Looking back at him, she said, “Now that I’ve told you why I was there, it’s your turn. What were you doing at the library on a Friday afternoon?” He looked uncomfortable and rubbed the back of his neck. “I was there to look up the latest book by Jerome Patterson,” he said. Her eyes grew wide, and she asked, “You like Jerome Patterson?” He nodded and said, “I’ve read almost all of his books but haven’t gotten hold of his latest one. When I looked it up on the library website, it showed it was on the shelves, so I came down to check it out.”

I hold my luggage, swallowing deeply as my mother chats about something that I don't pay attention to. We're heading for my sister's Vegas wedding,I suddenly regret having her invite Paul few days ago. The next one week was going to be tougher than I thought, he hasn't been responding to my messages since our last encounter three days ago. He's been genuinely busy, the book finally launched and he was away for a premier of one of his books that got a movie adaptation. He took an actress as his date. I should be next to him, not her but I know better.
