Novel & Cerita The Ride Of Her Life Book

Because of my grades, I landed a position with the prestigious Sorrell family, teaching their youngest daughter, Selena's little sister. I remembered it so clearly—the first time I met Selena. She came striding in wearing a biker jacket, her chestnut hair catching the sunlight, wild and dazzling. She was everything I wasn't—loud, bright, fearless. In an instant, I was drawn to her like a moth to a flame. People always fell for what they lacked. While I stood there staring, she was already walking out of sight, laughing as she hopped onto the back of a guy's motorcycle. That guy was Skyler—her first love. The one she never let go of. The one she never stopped loving.

The story was raw and real and exactly what readers were craving. Within months, she had a book deal. The launch party was held at the penthouse. Silas was there. Ezra was there. Friends and family and colleagues and strangers who had become friends. Vienna stood at the podium and looked out at the crowd. "Thank you all for coming," she said. "This book is about a girl who sold herself to a stranger. It is about a man who bought her and fell in love with her. It is about fear and hope and love and loss. But most of all, it is about finding the courage to be yourself."

"I did not build an empire. I built a life." "To some people, that is the same thing." "Well, it should not be. Life is about more than money and power." "Tell that to the journalists writing about you." She laughed. "Maybe I will." One day, a woman approached Evelyn after a speaking engagement. "Ms. Phoenix, I wanted to thank you. Your book saved my life. I was planning to go back to my abusive husband. Then I read your story and realized I deserved better." Evelyn's eyes filled with tears. "What did you do?"

She screamed and lunged at me. "You tramp! Why did we have to go through that?" She grabbed my hair and slapped me hard. My head was already spinning, and I didn't have time to react. "If you hadn't booked that Uber, none of this would've happened. This is all your fault! Go to hell! You ruined my life!" Her parents' eyes went red. They rushed in and held me in place so she could keep hitting me. My cheeks swelled almost immediately. It took a moment, but the officers pushed through and pulled them off me.

JUNE: I shut the book tight. Fast enough like it was some deadly piece in my hand. What the hell was that? I met Romy's eyes, the wide-eyed girl already knew what she had done. She had slipped the book into my hand right before we boarded the bus for the long trip. “What book is this?” I had asked, eyes fixed on the cover. “Another romance book,” she answered. “Just something to keep your raging mind focused during the trip.”

In the end, through my son and daughter’s matchmaking, I would meet Winson Cooper, grow close to him, and eventually marry him. My son would be a genius hacker, my daughter a prodigy painter. My husband would be the nation’s heartthrob. My life would look glamorous, flawless, nothing to complain about. Draped in luxury, successful children—this was the kind of life countless people envied. But I didn’t want it. I, Risa Shaw, didn’t want it. I should have been standing on a grand stage, holding the violin I loved most, shining in the world of music, not dropping out and ending up confined to a life of housewife duties.

One night, she finally ended her life. In the new timeline, she finally had a chance to start over. My mother was still hurt, but more than anything, she was just relieved. That night, my mother sat alone on the balcony and stared into space. The night in Amity City was much quieter than in Harbor City. I could hear the distant chirping of insects. I walked over and draped a jacket over her shoulders. She asked softly, “Zoe, do you think I’m pathetic? “Even with you telling me all this now, I still couldn’t stop him from hurting you.”

And how much it contained. The year that had preceded it. The fire that had produced it. The woman it had required her to become. The marriage it had required both of them to remake from the complete account of what was real. The children who were learning, from living inside it, what honesty and accountability and repair looked like in practice. The book that was in the world and the women reading it and the things it was doing in those readings that she would never fully know but could feel, in the way she felt things that mattered, as real. The ordinary life was full.

“Claire, it seems you are so busy these past few days. I barely see you here in the mansion,” her mother said. “I’m very sorry mother. I’m just having so much fun on the book I read. It has really a great story. So I always look for a place where I can be alone.” “Oh what story it is?” “It is titled, Against the Tragic Fate. It is the story where the lead character was given a chance to relive her life again and fight the tragic ending of her story in her previous life.” Claire lied.
